New haircut.
The little one didn’t recognise me at first.
She clung to Daddy for a good three minutes before I could hold her.
That was strange.
I kinda like it.
Although I think I will always be a true-blue, long-haired lass.
But at the moment, this works.
So tired of her grabbing, pulling, twisting and eating my hair.
The husband approves, too.

This is my nephew Yvan Kyle.
He was born on March 26th in Singapore, weighing in at 2.90 kilograms.
Looking very much like his dad, this little squirt was born with a head full of hair. And even though he was born only minutes before these photos were taken, you can tell he’s going to [...]

Watching my husband become Daddy has been a strangely beautiful experience.
It’s strange because he is a different person when he is with her. I’ve always thought I had him wrapped around my finger, but seeing him with her has given the word “smitten” a whole new meaning. I have never imagined him to be the [...]

Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I am more than just her mum.
It’s so easy to just get comfortable with my role as a mother that I really do forget I am other things. It hits me whenever I go shopping. Those who have known me for a while will know that I am [...]

I bought her a toy mobile phone to play with so she can leave my phone alone. You would think that the brightly coloured, flashing, talking, singing and beeping contraption would get her excited.
But no, not really.
She’s just not interested.
It seems she prefers my boring, low-fi, grey Nokia.
(And of course, the germs that live [...]

It’s Mothers Day in England today.
Motherhood, I think, is underrated in modern society. Since the increasing popularity of the Career Woman, being a Mother has been deemed undesirable. People seem to be so quick in enumerating the many consequences of motherhood. I have read countless of articles showing different sorts of facts and statistics. They [...]
