100 Days of Happiness – Day 9
Another post, another day late, but this is the life of a newbie mum so it seems! Time got hijacked once again yesterday, but in a good way. I decided to skip taking Samudra to the BWA Playgroup in favour of a sleep in, A SLEEP IN? what on earth was I actually thinking? I […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 8
Is someone messing with the clocks these days? I seem to be losing time and my to-do lists are getting longer by the minute and the days and nights disappear so quickly. Samudra was up screaming last night and so when my alarm went off this morning it felt like I had closed my eyes […] Read more »

100 Days of Happiness – Day 2
Today started with more heavy rain and flooding but I managed to make it along briefly to the BWA Playgroup in Pejaten for a quick song circle with all the kids and Samudra half asleep.. I also managed to go for a long walk around the complex while the sun was out, with the aim […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 1
Last night there was some seriously heavy rain falling non-stop for hours on end and yet again Jakarta was left underwater and flooding in many parts of the city… so I was wondering what I would do to entertain myself and Samudra as we were going to be indoors for most of the day avoiding […] Read more »
