Washing, washing and more washing.
My days are characterized by bottle washing these days. A normal day sees me going through 6-8 cycles of it. Some times, I get lazy and let it pile for a while and the above is one such scenario.
Yesterday, I realized that my fingers are starting to peel.. And it is a tad too dry. Ahh.. The perils of over-washing. The price to pay for motherhood.
Someone (Jen) asked me.. Are you enjoying motherhood? How is it different?
Actually, truth is.. No. I don’t quite enjoy motherhood. I don’t see the joy in it (yet). I miss my carefree life, but I can’t deny maternity leave rocks.
I have been quite a miserable slob the past month and more. But lately, i am a lot more cheerful, and much less agitated then I was before. It just dawned on me.. That, it’s because.. I have been heading out quite a bit. It somehow, liberates me.
I dont focus so much on the difference between my mum and me. I even close my eyes on certain stuff and ignore it, refusing it to get to me. Instead, I focus on what I wanna do, where to go, who to head out with..
Happiness. And it makes life so much easier. But, I think I need a holiday.. Let me find the funds first..

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.

Try wearing those transparent rubber gloves when u wash? Abit troublesome but at least they prevent ur hands frm being over-abused.
