Daddy's hugs!

It is so captivating to see the kiddos go to their daddy spontaneously for their good night hugs! It seems his hugs fill up their love tanks almost immediately and they feel so assured and loved before going to their slumberland! I strongly believe they will be so rejuvenated, refreshed and renewed to start their new day tomorrow!!!! Daddy's ❤️ do make a crucial difference in their lives!!

Brave Ven!

My dear princess, mum is super duper proud of u because you overcome your fear!! I know it is not easy and it still hurt at times, but u are so brave to let mummy administer the daily jabs! Thank you baby!❤️

Wake up call

Gab drew this beautiful perceptive picture recently. As much as I felt it was so artistically drawn and colored, my faint heart sank. I hid my burning tears on our way home. It speaks volume. I feel 'ashamed' to even share.... 

I hated myself since my two younger kids started the so called formal schooling. I'm always behind,  late for most academic activities from

Spelling, homework,  revision, classes.... With my firstborn , It seems all well and easy. But with three kiddos in this academic race dynamic, things changed dramatically. 

Somehow everyday has been such a real struggle and pain. I start to give up play time and turn into a tigress mum to regain 'control'.  I hate this tigerish behaviour in me especially during the revision time when they challenge my boundaries and schedules.  

So beginning of the year, I was very depressed and fearful. I hated this vicious cycle of anger and control I had last year..... And last December holidays helped me to escape from that ugly obnoxious behaviour. I was back to that fun loving, creative, energetic and positive mum. Then the nightmare starts when school reopens and fear escalates when tests draw near.  

This drawing simply affirms how my son feels.... It affects him, it disturbs him, it scares him...... It should be a loud wake up call for me...I need to stop this vicious anger cycle.  A picture speaks a thousand words. It definitely makes me feel like a lousy mum..... It hurts so much because I started this mummy journey with so much love and joy. Lord, help me to parent with YOUR love, joy and wisdom!

Bible reading

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path!  

Teaching Ven to read His words and write her own prayer journal! May u enjoy this intimacy with our Heavenly Father and literally hear Him answering your prayers!

Learning from my dad

This is my dad, taking most things very positively!  And such is the typical answer my dear father will offer when I seek him for advice. I was in a panic state yet my dad simply calmly sent me this cute SMS . I  laughed out loud when he described the bat as a beautiful guest! My countenance changed almost immediately.  

My dear daddy is such an inspiration, and I always marveled at his energy level and optimism. He is 72 now and yet he is still busy at work, attending so many meetings and overseeing a few job sites.  He teaches me to see things beyond the obvious, to love life, to embrace lifelong learning and to overcome challenges!!! 

Because he sees me, my contribution very differently from the world , I can always go back to him for affirmation and direction when I'm lost and defeated . May I leave such a positive legacy to my children and children's children!

Batman is banned!!!!!

My dear son, your batman paid me a SURPRISED visit today!!! I Certainly hope he didn't come with a Bat girl hiding somewhere else!!!!😁😁😁 

Mummy is declaring batman toys are officially banned in this house!!! A sign will be put up " Batman is NOT welcomed!!!" Opps they are blind!  Oh yes!!! A wise friend advised me that spider man is not allowed too!!!

Very impressive goals

Val learnt to write down her specific goals. This is something that really impress me so much!!! Sometimes I need to learn from her too; Her positive attitudes and her specific goals ! 

She isn't the netball shooter because of her height, so usually the glamour is not on her. Yet she has such positive attitude to be a great team player, supporting her teammates! Wow!!! She is my pride , my baby!!! 😘😘
