S.A.H.M. ... say whaa??

So even after being a mom for the past 6 years.. OMG has it been 6 years? That's halfway to a decade, you think you pretty much got a handle on what it takes or at least a bare minimal. For me, I go through the bulk of motherhood by instinct rather than googling everything and comparing everything (ok maybe i'm partly lazy as well) ...and through what was thought to me through my own parent's way of upbringing children. I think my parents did a pretty decent job with my brother and I albeit nazi at some point and I hope to pass this down to Nate and Nelly. Until I was introduced into this world of many more mothers with children of Nate's age. You see, you can pretty much just live an insular lifestyle where it's just you and your kid who would have a minimal number of friends for well, the first 5 years of his life until he goes to school. That's when you start to meet with other mothers, who are pretty much going through the same life crisis, trials, celebrations, excitements and anxieties. You share stories and compare notes and most importantly, support each other. I digress but i'm sure you get the picture. So recently I learnt this new term called the "SAHM". WADDAT? It's short for Stay At Home Mom... To me, it has always been short for Singapore Art and History Museum. We learn new things everyday and actually, I wouldn't mind spending my time being at and being a S.A.H.M.

Domestic Times - Sewing for the Soul #01

Before Nelly was born, I had this urge to sew... There's nothing more theraputic than baking or sewing. This is one of the many creations I managed to put together... I also managed to put together some nursing covers as well and if I ever get my act together, i'll upload some pictures. So here's the Boxy Pouch which even has an inner lining. Came in useful storing all my pre-natal supplements and other medications. All thanks to my hubby who bought me an overly awesome sewing machine. Woot!

Still Around

Hi all, sorry for the silence but we're still around.
Just been really swamped with motherhood, work, the good life and a bit of asthmatic attacks. Having said that, God has blessed us well and both kiddos are doing great! As I settle back into work after a 5month break, let me leave you with two of my favourite pictures of Nate and Nelly taken earlier this year. Will update once i'm settled.
