Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...

Happy 2025! A recap of my life.

Hello people, if you are still checking back in occasionally.  I doubt it, but hey if you are reading this, Happy 2025! I've been on radio silence (has it been 2 years?!) because finding time to blog as a full time working mum is hard.  Period.  However, I have made a mental note to start blogging again, because I do love to write.  And I would love my children to be able to read back on my life before I had them, my thoughts along the way.. a digital legacy if you may. Let me recap since the last I stopped blogging... we have 2 years to catch up on! 2022-2023 Looking back, my senses were hit 180 degrees by all the changes that came my way back in April 2022.  My circumstance rendered me impossible to even put in words how I truly felt inside.  You could say that my comfort zone which I had known for 14 years came crashing down on me, and what came along was challenging to say the least.  I was essentially crushed and could not breathe, figuratively....

Happy 2023! Back from a year of silence :)

Happy New Year!! I am surprised if anyone is still checking in on this dormant blog, but I thought I'd come back to round up our 2022.  If you didn't already know, 2022 was the year of huge change for us as a family, and even more so on a personal level.  We relocated back to Singapore at the end of March 2022.  The months leading up to the move was, well, stressful and very emotional for me.  I couldn't find any capacity within me to blog about anything.  It's been 9 months now and things are more settled.  I've also started working in a full time role, and being thrown straight into a fast paced corporate world has mostly left me breathless this past year with no time for anything else. Arriving at Changi Airport Cheerful kids I last blogged about the kids' birthdays at the end of 2022 and how time has flown pass - in the twinkling of eye and between two blog posts, the kids' celebrated their birthdays once more.  Isabelle turned 5 and Gabriel turne...

Happy New Year! What have we been up to?

Happy New Year everyone!  Am I still allowed to say that?  I guess so as it is still January ;) So much happened in the month of December that I didn't have time to sit down to blog even though there were so many evenings I contemplated to... and the idea of Netflix or just sleeping early lured me away from this blog. Izzy's handmade card which she did in school Tonight I'm doing a catch up of what we did on the lead up to Christmas and the kids' birthdays. We planned a plethora of Christmas-related activities for the kids.  I guess the FOMO Bel in me was the driving force for them.  It was a bit crazy if you see our list below.  Also for some reason we crammed most of them in the first 2 weeks of December, which looking back was by God's grace.  More on that later. Here is my recap! Santa's Grotto at Bluewater - Thinking that we didn't sign up for any Santa's Grotto for the kids this year, I eagerly booked this and told K that I would drive the kids th...
