As the kids grow up, it also seems like I should respect and protect their privacy and not put everything out in public. I face ups and downs in my life as a mom every single day and it seems unfair and untrue if I only write about the happy stuff. So how do I strike a balance and remain true to self?
These things have been weighing on my mind and since being a stay-at-home mom of four kids still keeps me pretty much busy 24/7, I haven't been writing as much as I used to. That said, I am not ready to give up on this blog because it has become a part of my life and I always remind myself of why I started it in the first place. It's a place for me to share my thoughts on parenting, for my kids to remember and look back on their growing up years and for us to be reminded of how simple yet happy life can be.
Yup, I do think our life is pretty ordinary, straightforward and perhaps even mundane at times. That is because we keep repeating things like going grocery shopping, tackling piles of laundry, nagging at the kids to do their homework, chasing them to bed at night, cooking meals, washing up, watching family-friendly movies, dining out, exploring parks and so on. But the thing is, I love our life the way it is.
In this post of "Happiness is...", it's about loving the simple days.

In the month of February, we were still very much in the CNY mood and I must tell you I love lohei very much! On my father-in-law's birthday, we did our last lohei for the year and the kids helped to arrange it in the shape of a cute bunny. The hubby was out of town but I am glad we still came together to do this.






















I do hope that Ansel can join them too but the age gap is too big so he will probably have to learn it himself next time, haha. It's like how he will be in Primary School on his own too while the rest have moved on but it is okay, baby boy, Mama will be here with you every step of the way.
