World Dream. I just had to mention the name of the luxury cruise line that we would be taking and both my boys started surfing the internet at the speed of lightning! “It’s a REAL cruise ship!” was the first comment. Of course it was…did they think I was taking them on an imaginary one? “It… {Read More}
My 10-year old priest!
I just couldn’t sleep the night before! Kept waking up every few hours with an anxiousness I couldn’t explain. Checking on him, then checking the time. Midnight, 2:10, 3:45, 4:50, 5:30 until finally I threw the covers off at 6 and got out of bed! I know my son is well prepared – both mentally… {Read More}
“Just keep going Mumtrepreneurs!”
It’s not easy being a Mumtrepreneur! The word ‘Mum-trepreneur’ very rightly puts the Mum before the ‘preneur’. And that’s how it is actually in terms of priority.

“What should I post on Facebook?”
Honestly I did not realise how difficult it would be to get back to my “virtual” life! I’ve been off Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for over 3 weeks now. Yes it was intentional- to give myself some space, some room to breathe, some time to think, some thoughts to reflect upon – without having the… {Read More}
Our East Coast Road Trip
It started with my older son qualifying for a summer program in the United States! We were only too happy to let him have this wholistic independent experience in one of the residential centre campuses on the East coast. We chose Pennsylvania as the centre for this 3-week program due to its proximity to one of our close relatives. And what… {Read More}
