June Madness

So I had all these plans of bringing the kids out to museums, staycations, short trip overseas nearby... all of which did not materialise. First, no passports. We applied for the renewal of our passports sometime back in April. We were told that the wait time for the passport is about a month to 6 …

Here Comes the June Holidays

Today marks Isaac's last day of school for the term. This means he gets to enjoy his first June holidays which will last for a month. As we picked him up from school, he told me "mummy, i have a surprise for you! But I'll show you when we get home." I could sense his …

Mother’s Day 2022 – Staycation at Dusit Thani Laguna

Every year, we'd celebrate Mother's Day with both our mothers. When it is just the 4 (the happy Lins) of us, it would just be a simple meal outdoors or a day that I do not have to cook. Reason being, I think that Mother's Day is overrated. It just seems like a good time …

Canopy Web – Singapore Botanic Gardens

We left the house early yesterday for lunch and to let the boys meet up with their cousins. While on the way out, G realised that he had confused the days as we were only supposed to meet them the next day. The boys were disappointed, but they cheered up when they were told that …

Guess who’s back?

The Elder Child

[29 May 2020 || Isaac at 5 years 2 Months] Dear Isaac, Is being the older child tough on you? Sometimes I look at you and I feel very blessed to have such an understanding and sweet boy like you as my child, especially as a big brother. I try not to make you give …

[11 May 2020 || Isaac at 5 years 2 months, Ian at 9 months 8 days] Recently, we realised that Ian can sleep a lot better when someone is next to him. There are alot of trial and errors with Ian and methods that we used previously and did not work, seems to work now. …

I had a Good Day

[25 April 2020 || Isaac at 5 years] Despite having tonnes of laundry to do, I actually managed to spend time with Isaac today. Surprisingly after my rant in the last post, the following day Ian was very cooperative. Minimal fuss and he slept without fighting sleep too. Today, I got to watch isaac play …
