“Finally!” I sighed and put my pen down. It had taken me three full weeks to research, plan and finalise the activities for my children to do this summer. It sounds easy but isn’t so. I had to find a perfect combination of their interests, abilities, their needs and the classes offered. Take into consideration… {Read More}
Road trip through the Rockies
“Oh my God, just look at that!” I exclaimed out loud just as we approached the little cottage where we were meant to stay for 3-nights in Jasper, Alberta.

Leaving the nest – are you ready?
It’s 5 pm on a weekday and I am roaming around the busy street markets of Central. I still have another two hours to go before I need to pickup my younger son from his play date. I keep looking at my watch from time to time, certainly not used to having these kind of… {Read More}

January 30, 2015. Phew! I am exhausted! It’s 11 pm. I have finally managed to finish off all my chores and am now resting my aching back on my comfy bed, pulling my soft, warm quilt upto my neck. Never felt this good lying down! What’s more, I feel better talking about my day to… {Read More}
Restless
Sitting on my perch On this cloudy, misty day I look out at the sea In a confused sort of way The thoughts that I have Are weird but true The more I seem to achieve The more I want to do. Is it just me Or the greed of human nature Happiness is short-lived… {Read More}
Turning 40
It’s so strange that sometimes when you really want to write about something, when you try your very best to put your thoughts down on paper, nothing significant comes out. It’s frustrating!
