Today I thought I'd do something a bit more interesting.  Answering some interview questions and letting you in onto my motherhood journey! Glasses on... here goes! How has it been on this motherhood journey so far? A roller coaster ride is how I describe it.  A very intense and extreme one to be precise.  Some days are so good, you feel like the luckiest mum in the world.  On days where you are down in the pits (the days where you are already exhausted by 1030am in the morning), you yearn for the days where you were young and free; days where you could sleep and relax whenever you can.  Humanly speaking, I experience more of the latter unfortunately! I always try to remind myself that they are what we prayed for.  God chose us to be their parents and we should be their good earthly stewards.  Whenever I think about how they are our answered prayers, it does change my mentality.  That said, I’m human after all, so yes there will be days where I am yelling my head off. How does it

At the park Me-time is so precious these days it is hard to come by.  Life with two very young kids means K and I are constantly exhausted and we crash into our bed every night, praying it would be an uneventful night.  But hey, who are we kidding.  Isabelle at almost 3 years old, has regressed in her sleep.  It's now more than a year, since she slept through the night.  The time in Singapore last year (yes last year, not even this year) didn't help because her sleep arrangement changed for a few months and since coming back, she refuses to sleep by herself.  Even if she falls asleep, she always wakes up around midnight and either cries up a fit, or come to our bedroom asking to sleep in our bed.  For many months, I remained strict in not letting her come into our bed but of late, I am losing that determination because of sheer exhaustion.  Sometimes I can't even recall what happened last night. Gabriel started really well too, but these days, things aren't great on his
