Mommy Adventures: Staycation
So, we have survived another school year. It is summer, alright, but I will have to keep daydreaming about those cheap ayia napa holidays for now. Um and I have a full plate of [migraine-inducing] things to do for the next couple of weeks that we need all the resources – time, money and energy – [...]
Le Critique: Book Review: Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

The Breaking Point
So, the rain came pouring…in the beginning of spring. I seriously bawled my eyes out to sleep. Little Princess and Captain Awesome on video chat triggered it. I just couldn’t bear being away from them anymore. Summer has started on their side of the world. School’s out. This is the time of the year when [...]
Finish a book: Enjoy mini-accomplishments to mega-accomplishments
Have you ever met someone who seems to just not finish things? I have been guilty of this to be honest. That Paris scrapbook from 2007 where after spending about $700 on tools, paper, stickers, still only has 5 pages. That iMovie project of my dad’s 2-week trip to the Philippines back in 2008. That weekend warrior attempt on [...]
