Kaylin doesn’t laugh out loud very often and she certainly hasn’t laughed so much since I took this video. Just four months old and she already knows not to repeat a trick. Happy Monday, everyone!
Hubby and I aren’t big on our birthdays – he usually forgets his and I don’t really care to celebrate mine – but my 28th was my first as a mum, and I decided it would be a wonderful reason to do the things I haven’t really had a chance to do since Kaylin [...]
Our timing was a little unfortunate the day we brought Kaylin to her first wedding reception. She’d been out for much of the day, had refused to nap properly, and was really cranky by the time we got to the reception venue. It didn’t help that everyone wanted to meet her at the same [...]
After all the celebrities I’ve met and interviewed, can you believe this is the first autograph I’ve ever gotten? I’m usually more of a get-a-photo-with-the-celeb kind of person, but I was so psyched to be back in action after my maternity leave and everything that I couldn’t turn down the opportunity.

“More often than not, a mother’s personal needs and desires are unselfishly placed a distant second. But as mothers, we should encourage each other to overcome the guilt of occasionally meeting some of our own personal needs.”

When Kaylin was just 12 days old, I took this photo and declared her a chip off the old block.

Here’s my current favourite photo [...]
The other day, I was out in the garden with Kaylin after a downpour when I noticed how pretty the flowers looked with raindrops on them. That was when I realised how long it had been since I really looked at flowers. So I took a few photographs. Then we saw a snail, [...]
“I did not sew, bake, or clean house to anyone’s delight – and still do not. But I can write. That is my work, where I feel special. Where my identity has a voice.
I never made a living as a freelance writer. Writers seldom do. It wasn’t my income that kept me working … [...]
The trailer for The Green Hornet brings back fond memories of when I interviewed Jay Chou last year. Yep, I’m a fan. Can’t say too much about his acting and I have no idea how he’ll fare in this, his first Hollywood movie, but he’s a damn good singer-songwriter in my book.
I wish [...]
After four months of hopeful optimism (read: delusion), I have finally come to terms with the fact that the thrice-weekly gym sessions I endured enjoyed throughout my pregnancy are very much a thing of the past. These days, I’d be lucky to get any “me” time before 11pm and since I do not fancy [...]
