We sent our first-born to school very late. She was already four-and-a-half years old when she went to school for the very first time. At this time, we decided to go with a different language as well so not only did she have to get use to not being at home with mommy anymore, she […]
Music for my Soul I’ve been wanting to share this with you for a while now but just couldn’t get down to it. Nevertheless here we go, my “uplifting #momplaylist.” This is what I listen to when I’m home alone and feel defeated or overwelmed, when I need to refuel and fill my cup. I […]
I took The Call I took a business call after my kids were home, usually I don’t do this. I have strict rules about it. In this case I had no choice AND I allowed to set myself free from #momguilt even before I answered. (I knew the call was coming.) I mean it was […]
Two years ago we went on a trip overseas and again the past holiday. Once I put my bum on the seat inside the plane with all 4 my kids and my husband next to me, it’s only then that I start breathing. The Lists The big pack for such a huge family is not […]

When Lightning Struck I wasn’t too worried about her this year. Surely it gets easier and easier as they get older. Little did I know I would face a tunnel of darkness that would fill my entire being with fear and worry. The kind that only a mother can understand. I’m not blind, but I […]
I was woken by a little face just after 2am. He was scratching his little body all over and I jumped out of bed in a panic when I stroke my hand over his arms and felt the little bumps all over. The early morning hours are really tough! Finding it really hard to open […]
