Unbelievable but true! Our summer holiday 2020 is officially over as kids are back to school today. Usually for me the last week of summer would be the busiest – washing the school backpacks or buying new ones, organising stationery, buying new uniform, shoes and socks included.

I can hear him share stories with them, showing off… {Read More}

She loved spending time with her children, giving them the right upbringing, managing the house, and yet there was a niggling thought in her mind that she should return back to work and that she should… {Read More}
