My Rocking Cradle

The first time hubby went to Dubai a few years ago, he brought home shells he picked up along the Palm Jumeirah artificial shore. They were accommodated on a villa in Palm Jumeirah during their short business trip there. Despite his busy schedule whenever he is on a business trip, he seldom misses hitting the [...]

My Firstborn has settled down with our daily English Kumon schedule. I feel that he is ready to add another undertaking so I asked hubby if we could add Math Kumon to his daily schedule. So, here we are: The same Kumon teacher will be supervising him every Tuesdays for English and Math. The rest [...]

I got this poem from Eric Carle’s book Animals Animals. The Cat Came and Sat Down before His Majesty. The Cat Came and sat Down before the King. “I’ve come to take a look. For unless I am mistook, It is written in this book, I may do this thing!” She took Quite a look. [...]

Hubby is currently in Riyadh. He has been going back and forth to the Middle East for several months now. As he always does, he brings home tokens for our collection.

Don’t you just love the coincidence? The Great Singapore Sale started last May 27 and will last until July 24. Singapore, [...]

For moms in countries where a nanny is a rarity, I am sure we all have stories to share on how we cope up with household chores and taking care of our kids. This is how I get things done: Kids (usually my Firstborn has the say) choose whether they watch TV or play computer [...]

Two months ago, my son’s pre-school sent a survey whether parents would prefer organic food for the kids. We will add 35,000-won every month if we choose for organic food to be served. I chose no for the following reason: We have no way of verifying whether these foods are really organic. Even supermarket “organic [...]

Having lived here in Seoul for more than 5 years now, I can only grab this chance to post this feature from CNN. The feature lists 50 reasons why Seoul is the greatest city. It’s a long article but it is interesting. Some are true, some are obviously sponsored:-). 50. From bomb shelters to bull [...]
