single parenting.
the husband is serving his reservist currently for 2 weeks. with a relatively new born in the house and an (super hyper) active toddler in the house, you can say I’m in pretty bad shape.
sleep deprived nights. one week down, another one to go. the nights are the toughest because I have zero help at all, on top of the moo moo chores and all that bottles washing and sterilizing shit, I think I am on the brink of falling sick.
but before I did.. jerry caught a bug and is pretty much very sick the entire day. he missed his afternoon nap today because his nose was pretty irritable and he couldn’t sleep properly.
the night is worse. literally whining from discomfort and fatigue, and he cries non stop. I haven’t seen him this sick in a long while.
I just had to separate the 2 kiddos in the house to prevent the germies from spreading. Jerry in the room and Jerome in the living room and I’ll be shuttling between the 2 to check on them and feed Jerome when he cries for milk or poops and requires a diaper change.
gonna be a long night tonight. come morning, I’ll be packing the big kid off to the doc by myself and I hope he’ll be well soon!
I pray for strength to let me get past next week. single parenting is tough!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
