Writer’s Workshop: From Last June to This June
Last year in June 2011 I was evaluating how Monkey boy was faring in Primary 1. I wrote a short series on Preparing for Primary One and recounted my experience with my eldest when he first entered elementary school. This year it’s time to prepare Doggie boy for Primary 1 as he will be entering elementary school come 2013.
I went on my 1st Trip without R and blogged about Ten Ways to Tackling a Holiday with 3 kids when I brought the kids to Penang, Malaysia
We celebrated our 10th Wedding anniversary with a dinner for 3 in Singapore
What remained the same
I’m still passionate about the same people as mentioned in My Greatest Passions
What has changed
Fast forward to this year we managed to go on a family trip with everyone to Korea and had a magical time at the Secret Garden at Everland. I’m posting on the blog daily and have added in giveaways in addition to reviews that I have done at Dominique’s Desk.
We celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversary abroad in Korea. We have been getting around more this June as compared to last June. The kids have been to the Army Open House, on the Singapore Flyer, Singapore Art Museum and Singapore Philatelic Museum.
I’m currently writing a series called Supermom 101 on how I manage it all- house, family and career.
How has it changed from you as compared to June last year?
Do you prefer it now or back then?

Great photos. Last year, I gave birth to my 2nd daughter. A year after, I’m still a SAHM and having a great time with my family. Alhamdulillah!

Last year, I was busy trying to get into the motherhood groove… and settling first time parent worries.
This year, I’m much more settled, being dragged around by the boy instead of carrying him, and being more relaxed as a parent.
I love both times… for the past serves as memories, and the present is to shape the future.

Last June was a pretty crazy time for me at work and it seems like this June is no different too. Sophie has grown older and is testing my patience more … But I gotta remember that tough times don’t last, tough people do!

June of last year, we moved and left the Philippines. It was great at first but when the thought sinked in, I was homesick!
Happy Anniversary to you and your husband!

My husband is retiring tomorrow. So I prefer now!

I think JDaniel at three was easier, but I am loving the life lessons I am learning about being his mom this year.

Hi Dominique ~~ I am glad you enjoyed your anniversary # 11. A nice post about that. We celebrated our # 39 this year by going to a nice restaurant 15 miles away for dinner. Happy # 12 when it comes! 🙂
Not much change for our family here. Around yes, grandkids getting married, son winning Texas Amateur Doubles Table Soccer championship & could go to France to enter international competition, another grandkid moving to Oklahoma, another grandkid breaking engagement with her fiance, etc.
BTW, the Kroger store where we buy our fruit is the closest Super Market, 7 miles away from our house.

Last year we had great weather … this year … mostly grey skies for a month … that’s the difference here!
