I’ve reached my 100th post!

The first post on 10 Aug 2012 seems far away. Then my focus was blog about Nadine and her ther­apy ses­sions and tell the count­less sto­ries about my par­ent­ing jour­ney. Lit­tle did I know that I slowly added sto­ries of my expe­ri­ence with faith and life, and tiny peeks into my per­sonal life!

Inter­est­ingly, the fol­low­ing posts are the two most pop­u­lar thus far in this blog!

• Can you Squat & Pee?
• Love talk with Kids

And of course all posts from my Ther­apy 101 series were a big hit too!

Over the past 100 posts, I hosted a few linky par­ties too! (What was I think­ing? A new­bie host­ing a party! And there were some flops but I thought it was all so fun!)

• Give Thanks series: My par­ents, Friends, Domes­tic Help and Faith
• My Child and Me
• Fit & Fab Fridays
• I Always Wanted to be

Look­ing back, it really would not have been pos­si­ble if not for the cast fea­tured in the blog!

I’ve made many many friends from the blog, I’ve received many many emails from other par­ents who have chil­dren going through ther­apy as well, or from par­ents who sim­ply want to know more.

I also joined a closely knit­ted group: Sin­ga­pore Mom Blog­gers and met a really crazy group of mum­mies who share our love & frus­tra­tions with being a par­ent, with our kids, and with life!

It’s been an awe­some expe­ri­ence, and I am hav­ing a blast blog­ging. (I thought my Eng­lish improved a bit too with all this fre­quent writing!)

Thank you dear read­ers for vis­it­ing my blog, for encour­ag­ing me when the going gets tough, for shar­ing your sto­ries, and sim­ply for being around for Mum’s the Word.

I’ll keep blog­ging as reg­u­larly as I can… shar­ing my jour­ney again and again…

 Please indulge me a lit­tle, tell me what you would like to hear from me!

  What would you like to read more about in this blog,

 and what would really inter­est you?

I promise I will try to blog about these top­ics! Thanks so much again!

Some­thing died in our fam­ily this week. Our faith­ful Hot Water Pot that we bought when I was preg­nant with Nicole.

I remem­ber we bought this because we wanted to boil water real fast (this is much faster than using a ket­tle over the fire), and we could choose the tem­per­a­ture to set it at, and it could keep the water warm! We fig­ured as first time par­ents, it is so so impor­tant to make milk FAST!

Well, some­thing hap­pened… I think water got in the cabling or some­thing. The water didn’t boil, it just stopped work­ing. So we have been boil­ing water using a lit­tle pot. (No ket­tle in the house! )

Why is this wor­thy of a post? Cos this Tiger Baby was a big part of our par­ent­ing jour­ney. We used it daily, and  it was idiot-proof! Now that it’s gone, I’m stuck. What should we use now to boil water?

It sounds friv­o­lous but many thoughts cross my mind:

• Elec­tri­cal Water Pot like this would mean we get the hot water fast, but it’s expen­sive! Absolute waste of energy.
• Tra­di­tional ket­tle meant water will take a while longer to get hot, but much cheaper to boil water this way
  • Should I get a large giant ket­tle? Boil a whole lot of water and that means I still need to get a Hot Pot to keep the water warm
  • Should I get a small ket­tle? Boil just enough for use each time. We don’t really need that much hot water

What do you use at home to boil water?

(Mum will be proud of me… I’m actu­ally ask­ing a house­hold ques­tion! hahaha!!!)
