Cooking for 6

Posted on January 12, 2016 by The Crafty Academic • Leave a comment

In our bid to survive the difficult pregnancy and then baby phase of raising triplets, we ate take-out ALOT.  I already had to cook for my husband’s work meals (he works in an island off Singapore where there is no food available so making his work lunches became priority) and before the kids turned one, … Continue reading →

2016 the year of toddlers

Posted on January 1, 2016 by The Crafty Academic • Leave a comment

I ushered in New Year’s Day down with bronchitis.  I was really, really ill and couldn’t eat nor leave my bed much for three whole days.  I finally feel I am on the mend because my thoughts are fully-formed after some medicine, nourishment and sufficient sleep.  The whole time my husband was juggling our four … Continue reading →

In Pursuit of Minimalism

I told everyone I was spring-cleaning the house and everyone asked if we were moving apartments already.  What happened to spring-cleaning for spring-cleaning’s sake?  Anybody who knows me or lived with me know that I clear out my house annually of crap I do not use.  The problem is the past three years we were … Continue reading →

The Climb

I am feeling a little emotional tonight. I think the moment I found out I was having triplets, the negativity related to a high-order multiple birth was rather deep and traumatic. I felt these girls were being punished for being born together.  Having to come into this world premature and smaller than their peers, not … Continue reading →

A year without babies

My husband and I haven’t had a break from babies since we got married. We hitched in 2012, got pregnant immediately and Livia came into our lives 9 months later. In 2013, Livia was still a baby and just as she reached toddlerhood we felt ready for a second child and once again, got pregnant … Continue reading →

Our first Waldorf playgroup

Posted on November 11, 2015 by The Crafty Academic • 1 Comment

We were at the Botanic Gardens again this morning to attend a Waldorf (Steiner) playgroup.  I’ve always wanted the girls to join more playgroups, but you are probably tired of hearing me discuss how its been impossible to commit to any regular kind of playdate, playgroup or classes. So we’ve been more of an ad … Continue reading →

SPOTT Picnic

Its difficult to organise playdates with our fellow twin friends because we have sooooo many kids.  Finding a venue is tough, finding a time when everyone can make it is tough, and when we get to the event, we actually have very little time to mingle because we are watching over our kids.  After two … Continue reading →

Heh trying out my new fish-eye lenses. I haven't been using my mirrorless camera since getting an Iphone but now I kinda miss it #lootripsters2018 #ca_gymnasticslessons
I made a simple layered strawberry and cream crepe 'cake' to get over hump day. Though the truth is I ran out of eggs and milk and had only enough batter for 3 large crepes and I have 4 kids and this was the mathematical solution to making sure everyone had an equal share without feeling stingy about it 😅 #ca_tripletproblems #ca_cookz #strawberryandcreamcrepes
She does need to learn some poise 😆 #liviapreschooler2018 #ca_gymnasticslessons
I decided not to accompany them in the pool anymore. The coach seems more than able to handle all 4 of them himself. Kudos to anyone who can handle all 4 of them solo. I do it everyday and it's not easy 😅 #ca_swimlessons #lootripstersswim
Its been awhile since we've been here #ca_throwback #lootripstersoutdoors #amkbishanpark #lootripsterstoddlers2018
Make-ahead pasta sauces to freeze. The small bottle of garlic cream sauce is enough for two meals at best so I am not freezing it. Recipes in the comment section. #ca_cookz #marinarasauce #alfredosauce #batchcooking
