Don’t underestimate your little ones…..

Don’t underestimate your little ones… … Over the weekend, we went on our first-ever, epic voyage to Pulau Tioman, as a family, on our sailboat. In this trip, to and fro, we covered 240 nautical miles in total; 20 hours to get there with wind and tide in our favour and 24 hours to get » Read More

All Unpacked From Gold Coast

That’s right — we took a rather impromptu trip to Gold Coast last week because I felt like I we needed a holiday. We picked Gold Coast because I wanted to go someplace cool (it’s winter in Australia) and someplace easy to drive around (roads in Australia are generally not busy and easy to navigate). » Read More

Telecommuting

Sometimes, I wonder if I’m being too greedy in wanting to have it all. I want to be able to spend as much time as possible with Coco before she grows up too quickly and starts going to school. I want to hold and cuddle her before she stops wanting to be babied. I want » Read More

Wherefore art thou, sweet slumber?

Sigh, what is it with babies and sleep? Childcare experts have written tons of guidebooks about this subject, but it’s still one of the biggest mysteries of the universe. I love how they tell you that babies are perfectly capable of sleeping through the night, UNLESS they are on a growth spurt, teething, ill, experiencing » Read More

A Week Without Help

We have a very amicable relationship with our family’s helper. M has been with my family for, gee, I don’t know, ten years (or more?) and we all get along well. When Coco came along, it was mutual happiness on both sides. We were thankful to have experienced, trustworthy help on hand (she has SEVEN » Read More

Our Favourite Books

I have a confession to make:    I HAVE AN ONLINE SHOPPING ADDICTION.    I can’t stop shopping for books for Coco. Prior to discovering online bookstores, my Internet shopping habits were confined to maternity and nursing wear only. Before getting pregnant, I wasn’t even a fan of buying clothes online as I preferred to try them » Read More

It’s Party Time, Baby!

Woohoo! Cristan’s turned ONE! To celebrate the momentous occasion (and the fact that Tim and I have survived a year of parenthood without killing each other), we threw a simple party over the weekend, catching up with family and friends over lunch.

Worlds Apart

Worlds Apart! This has to be the first time (at least after a long while) that I’ve been away from home for so long and so far (I’m now in the United States) and to say that I miss my wife and kids is an understatement! How I YEARN to see them! Well, thanks to » Read More

Dear Coco

Dear Coco It’s been almost two weeks since we returned from our vacation to the Maldives. It took me so long to start writing about it, mainly because I couldn’t find the energy to sift through the HUNDREDS of photos that we took of you and select just a few for this entry. (Okay, fine, » Read More

From Boubblesmom’s Kitchen

Wow, time really flies! I can’t believe Cristan’s turning one year old next week! I’m totally looking forward to it, because it means I can finally be less fastidious about his sodium intake! Of course, I’m not going to suddenly let him have all the junk food in the world, but I will gradually introduce more » Read More
