Dear Zeke, Taken on the day he was delivered I have written letters for your two older brother weeks after I have given birth to them, of course, I have a letter for you too, my precious 3rd-born.

GIVING BIRTH TO BABY #3 IN SINGAPORE
I decided to write this post for those expats and OFWs (Overseas Foreign Workers) who are pregnant and thinking delivering here in Singapore for the first time instead of going back to their home country to give birth.

MAKE YOUR MOM SMILE WITH FLOWERS FOR MOTHER’S DAY FROM FLORAL GARAGE

5 PREGNANCY HACKS WITHOUT BUYING MATERNITY CLOTHES
Having been pregnant 3x, I have learned some lessons along the way. One of it is not to buy maternity clothes or at least I would minimise spending too much on maternity wear.

Maybe one or two maternity leggings, pants & shorts would do and 1 nice maternity work or going out dress would be enough. It is best to save up the money for stuff that are more useful when baby comes. So in … [Read more...]
LETTING GO: A POST-EASTER REFLECTION
I know that Easter has been weeks ago. This post meant to be a post-Easter reflection. I am a practicing Catholic and I have always loved Easter. It is my next favorite holiday next to New Year. I guess you can see that I am drawn to the aspect of newness and fresh start. So after that 40 days of Lent, Easter Sunday was a day of renewal and second chances. For me, it also made me think of the beauty of letting go. Letting Go of Material Things If you have been reading my blog lately, I have … [Read more...]
