Surprisingly, that means starting with myself first and taking care of me so
Children are our pathway to understanding, the reason for patience and our inspiration for future hope – Lynne Kooij
I was the epitome of angelic motherhood the last few weeks (cue heavenly choir of angels here), as the chickenpox virus had the whole family (almost) trapped in our house since

Of course I’m pretty much bedridden with this chickenpox and it’s actually a dream come true for a bookworm/tv addict/movie junkie like me.
Done the Star Wars saga, and happily settled in to watch some of the lengthier movies I usually don’t have time for like Shawshank Redemption and Emma,
My favourite radio station 89.9 LightFM is going to have a pre-winter escape […]tomorrow.

After 3 months of low-carbing, sprinkled with generous dollops of ‘free days’ and the not-so-occassional lapses, I have managed to lose just under 10 lbs. It’s frustrating,

I WANNA GO TO IRELAND!!!
When you see the gorgeous views and watch equally gorgeous Matthew Goode tell the story of lovers who “consummated their love” prompted by the beauty of it all in the film “Leap Year”, well really, I WANNA GO TO IRELAND!!!

[…]If you’re a fan ‘down undah’ like me, you’re probably one of the many who missed out on Oprah Tickets up for grabs over the weekend.
