Remarkably Ordinary

24 Nov 2013 - Today I have come to decide to accept that I am remarkably ordinary and I should start loving it! I have come to appreciate all my ordinary days and loving the beauty and the gifts that come along with them.

How much do you love me?

Mama : Wen, how much do you love my susu?

Arwen : One hundred.

Mama : How much do you love me?

Arwen :To infinity and beyond!!

Doa Rajin Solat

I make this doa after each prayer, insyaAllah!

Arwen and Najya

This was taken by Najya's mom on 12.2.2012. Maybe it was one of the few times you played at Najya's house before tuition.

Work-at-home Mom

I am deleting the word stay-at-home mom from my vocab. There's no such thing. Unless you have a nanny, a maid, a driver, a cleaner, a cook, a teacher who helps with homework hahaha. to top it all off these days we might not work in an office but somehow is running a business of some sort from home! I am a work-at-home mum. 

Happy 8th Birthday Arwen!

Happy 8th birthday my sweet darling daughter!
