This blog was first started with only the intention to record the development of my beautiful children and my journey with them as a stay-home mum. In the beginning, the early audience was mainly just my kids' grandparents in London and close friends abroad, who greatly enjoy the frequent updates.
Over time, it has become an excellent platform for me to pen my random thoughts and other family experiences. It is now a therapuetic outlet for me as I reflect on the day's events and relive the good and not-so-good moments of the week. While it was definitely not in my original plan, I have come to realise that this blog has become a 'daily read' for some readers who enjoy reading snippets of our lives. A few have also taken the time to write to me with encouraging words of how they have found inspiration and motivation in what I do daily.
The readership has now grown substantially, perhaps as a result of the growing content. Some are keen to know what we do in our homeschooling journey and how we handle our kids as part of our parenting experiences. Others are interested in the bentos and recipes that I share. Whatever the reasons, I am pleased that besides meeting the original intent, this blog is making a small difference in some people's lives.

Congrads!! You definitely deserve the award. Have added your blog to my google reader.
Thanks for placing it up.:)
I think your blog really deserves this award! ;) I've always enjoyed reading your blog and it is definitely interesting, which makes me read it everytime i have access to the internet. From your earlier post last year, i think that it is very sweet of your husband to 'publish' your blog into a book for your Christmas present. (:
Thanks Dominique. :)
Hi Lishan, thank you! It is a very sweet and thoughtful gesture from him. Now I have 2 books for my first two years of blogging which I can pass down to my kids as legacy. :)
