Motherhood is a truly satisfying and fulfilling experience to me. It is a never-ending learning process. There is so much to learn and I am enjoying every minute of it. Here in ‘Parenting Joy’, I share with you all my experiences, from pre-natal up till now, and I hope that my experiences will be of help to you. It is also my hope that by writing things down, it will help me to remember the things that I went through from Day 1 – though they may be frustration, stress, anger, helplessness; and not just happiness, joy and fulfillment. Every bit of it is special. Too special to be ‘buried’ and forgotten later on.
Who Am I?
I am Angela. My husband, Richard, and I have 3 boys, Dominic, Damien and Darren.
I was a full time homemaker for almost 2 years and I enjoyed the time that I spent with Dominic, watching him grow up. I re-joined the workforce when Dominic was about 1 year old but stopped work again after about 9 months. I used to also run an eStore, Plum and Peach, but we recently closed it after almost 4 years of operation because my partner was getting very busy with her other commitment, and I was expected my 3rd child and didn’t think I would have enough time for the business.
My husband, Richard is a very hands-on and involved father. He really knows as much about taking care of kids as I do, even though I spend more time with the kids at home. He is also a very supportive husband and my pillar of strength because he keeps me steady when the kids drive me nuts. Without him, I won’t be able to do this website.
Reasons why I did this site
1. So that I remember the things I have gone through with my babies.
2. When I was first time pregnant, I was at a complete loss in Babydom. A friend of mine basically hand-held me through all the Babydom jargons and stuff and I am eternally grateful to her for making things so much easier for me. Doing up the website is my way of ‘paying forward’.
3. My interest in dabbling with doing up websites, experiementing with cool internet tools, etc. For my own amusement. Something different from the mundane daily chores.
4. An outlet for me to write and my soapbox.
5. Be a blessing by ministering to fellow mothers.
