home, living and lifestyle for the modern world

Last weekend, my family took a weekend break and spent some time in the highlands with my brother’s family. It was nice to see how much fun the kids were having – they were hilarious. Mom kept reminding me how fortunate and blessed kids are these days. They are computer literate and you can count [...]

I find myself looking forward to another weekend after a long and tiring week. This week, I started a new Pilates class with Polestar Pilates and I am looking forward to more. The internet line in the home office had been terribly bad and it had affected our productivity level. When you are in the [...]

This weekend, we’re planning to do some shopping for our little home office. It’s been a while since we last visited the furniture store so it’ll be nice just to drop by and get some inspiration for the home remodelling project too. Knowing my hubby, he’ll be heading for the Storage department as he has [...]

I can’t agree more than parenting is a big commitment and noble duty from above. I have seen how many of my friends cared for their babies and little ones and their commitment has been one that is unwavering and sacrificial. It hurt the hearts of parents who their children turn to devious ways or [...]

While some people avoid traveling with their young children, I’m one who encourage this as I believe this is a wonderful way for family to bond together. I can understand their concerns since traveling with small children does require additional planning in many aspects from choosing a light and durable luggage to packing activities and [...]

If you have a busy family that seems to be traveling in different directions constantly, you know how challenging it can be to coordinate everyone’s schedules.  Between projects and deadlines at the office, meetings with your children’s teachers, after school activities like soccer practice and troop meetings, not to mention the household chores, it can [...]
