Let It (THEM) Go!

Ok. This is NOT about the song. And I do apologise if I got you humming it again! This is about when do you let your children be on their own. I’m not referring to moving out of your home. I’m not referring to going off to college. I’m not even referring to walking home…




I Am a Dr. Mummy

I have three kids. And as much as I want to keep them germ/virus/bacteria free, they aren’t. So when they fall sick, they ALL fall sick.

Ahhhh! My Daughter Has To Wear Glasses!

Yup, money talks even at this young age. I’ve contemplated about this for a while. Should we give daily allowances? How about weekly?…




Post Christmas

Christmas… the most wonderful time of the year! What a great time we had with our family and friends! And what a super time we had feasting and feasting! And what comes next? For us, it’s a super holiday for the entire family… Yes a SUPER holiday before that dreaded day when school starts on…
