When blogging becomes a jealousy affair

Tonight, our bedtime topic with the kids revolves around blogging.

Me: Maybe I should stop blogging…
Children: Why Mummy?
Me: Because Mummy feels that my original blogging purpose is being overtaken by other factors… like… (hard to admit, but I did) jealousy and competition and overexposure of our personal life.
Children: Why don’t you just write in our book diaries…?

I love conversation with the kids. They are so simple.

I don’t know about other parenting bloggers, but from time to time, I am affected by other bloggers getting THAT invite, THAT sponsor, THAT chance on media.

Why did I even expect fame? Continue reading “When blogging becomes a jealousy affair”

You have read my blog. Read other people’s blogs. You wonder how I blog as a FTWM. And wonder what goes on before a post is up. Today I am going to take you to behind the scenes of me as a blogger. Enjoy peeking once again! Continue reading “Behind the scenes of a blogger”

If I don’t have kids, what will I be doing today

Ever since I became a mum 9 years ago, everything that I used to indulge in, hobbies, TV, even books took a back seat. My priorities change. My own life is less important than my children’s lives. I seem to have many things that I want to do that are not fulfilled at the moment. I wonder how life will be if I am able to pursue these unfulfilled wishes under a wholly different situation.

SMB Blogger Event 2014

I follow many blogs locally and internationally. One of my favourite is Nicole from Planning with kids. She is an inspiration. She juggles her household with 5 kids and has a successful blogging career. She upgrades herself and motivates readers with her disciplined routine tips. One of the annual event she speaks at is the Australian Problogger Event where experienced international speakers share on their expertise on blogging. Reading about the Problogger event always have me thinking whether we do have one in Singapore that will benefit bloggers like me to learn and be motivated in blogging. So, it was a much unintentional thought that came to mind and before I realized what I was in for, Rachel, one of the SMB founders, asked me to organize one for the SMB (Singapore Mom Bloggers) community where the speakers are our very own SMB mums!

It soon became an honour for me to hold such a highly anticipated event and most likely Singapore’s first Blogger Event for Bloggers!! Continue reading “SMB Blogger Event 2014”

Check out my new facebook page!

Wow! I can’t believe I have finally decided on starting a facebook page for Kids “R” Simple!

It’s already 2am in Singapore time and I am trying to fight off sleep and endure my heavy eyelids while containing my excitement! I really do like to give a shout out to share my joy that I am bringing my parenting blog to a new level!

Firstly, I really would like to thank my readers who have been following me through in all my blog posts! You have been wonderful in leaving lovely comments, sharing your experiences and allowing me to gain insights to many, many tips on parenting and anything. I have also learnt so much more in reading your blogs and many other great blogs out there. And I really hope all of you have been enjoying my shares on parenting thoughts.

I really do wish to reach the stars or rather over the moon tonight and many other nights if you would click that facebook button on the right hand side of my blog. I actually do feel shy in this simple request. But, I really need your support!

Thank you everyone! Stay tune to more of my posts on Kids “R” Simple!
