As a SAHM who tries her best but still fumbles every now and then after eight long years, I don't need assurance from anyone other than the kids. (Okay, I admit it will be nice to hear from the hubby sometimes too).
Thank you, my dear Angel, for giving me the motivation to carry on every now and then. This was your most recent surprise note for me on the whiteboard, which even comes with a CNY theme and decorations too. How cute, right?
I love how you like to doodle and always draw a portrait of our happy family. It means more to me than I can say and I am glad I took a photo for keepsake before your baby brother came to erase it. Haha. Thanks for being so sweet and for giving me the motivation to keep going when the going gets tough.
Looking forward to more CNY gatherings this weekend with family and friends! Have a good weekend too, everyone!

The heavy downpour woke me up this afternoon when I was taking a quick nap with the baby boy. I dashed to open my bedroom door, thinking "Oh no, the clothes are going to get wet!" because I had forgotten to lower the blinds on the balcony. Yup, it's already a chore doing laundry for five people so I really wouldn't want to have to re-wash and re-hang the clothes.
It was really a sweet surprise when I stepped out and saw that the girls were already in the living room talking quietly between themselves so as not to wake us up, had tidied the house a little, took the initiative to help lower the blinds and also wrote this message on the whiteboard for me to see. You know what I did? I went back into the room and laid down to rest for another 15min or so till the toddler woke up too, feeling thankful and blessed. These kids, they motivate me and give me the strength and energy to be a SAHM, and a better person, in more ways than they know.
Despite I still have to chide and nag at these girls for many things, like making their beds, hanging their wet towels, tidying their study tables, putting their dirty clothes into the laundry basket, drying their hair properly and the hardest of all might be going to bed on time, I think they are slowly but surely becoming more mature and responsible little beings in my household. We still have a long, long way to go, but 2018 seems to have been a good start for us. Let's see what happens in Feb! Thank you, my dears!

We had a rough weekend as one of our hamsters passed away and the girls and I ended up huddling and crying together.
I wasn't really looking forward to the start of the week and was feeling exhausted, at the same time bracing myself to be ready for more tantrums and whines than usual since we were all feeling so down.
It turned out that these girls are more sensible and mature than I think they are. This afternoon, we all took a nap and the girls woke up earlier than the baby brother and I. Not only did they not wake me up (which is already something to be thankful for), they also decided to get down to work and surprise me. Together, they packed the living room, wiped the floor, tidied their study tables, even folded the laundry which was on the sofa and kept their own clothes into their wardrobes. After all that was done, they even sat down to do a handmade card which says for the most wonderful Mum in the world. Seriously, I could have cried all over again. What have I done to deserve them, to deserve all this goodness in my life? These kids make this emo mama even more emo in such moments.
It also touched me to read how my firstborn said it comforted her when I hugged her knowing that her beloved pet was gone. I didn't realise she needed me so much and that having me there beside her meant a great deal to her heart. It just reminds me that a very small, loving gesture from a parent can mean the world to a child. So, let's all not forget to show our love even if in the tiniest of ways. Because at the end of day, they do make a huge difference. Thank you, my dear girls, for making this Monday a day to remember.
