𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙖𝙞

𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙧𝙙 🌈

Just a regular Tuesday but extra tired this afternoon. Having my own little space and limited social interaction has given me a lot of time to be quiet by myself and focus on the right things. In the midst of the routine, I am reminded of the hope we have in the Lord, and my duty to be obedient to His plans and guidance for me.

“Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness... And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:24:28

Definitely bummed about how I can’t clock in my lunch hour sessions for now, but looking at the big picture, this move probably is necessary. Meanwhile I think a little #blueberryseah has been watching my workouts and is trying to see how she can get involved...

I know for some, today can bring a lot of pain. I just want to say I’m sending all of you a big hug. All these feelings are valid, and always ready to listen if you need someone to speak to.

I found time to pen down some thoughts in https://kristenkiong.com/waiting/ in what I learnt while waiting on Motherhood. In short,
💕 It was humbling to realize hard work got me nowhere. There was nothing I could do more of to make it happen.
💕 I am loved, regardless whether I had a child or not.
💕 Truly and prayer and a loving community got me through my lowest.

For me, today will continue to be a reminder of God’s faithfulness in my journey, and for me to be thankful in both smooth sailing and stormy times.

Feel free to repost this, tag or send this to people who need a hug/hugged you through your storms. We all need to remember we’re loved ♥️ #mothersday

Read this quote earlier and wow it’s such a crazy thought isn’t it ? But it’s true. I think I often take it for granted that me being alive daily is a miracle.

It’s been a crazy week and I made it crazier by falling really sick after my second jab. My friends asked why my side effects so bad - maybe cos I’m weak. Haha but hey guys I’m alive!

So since Thursday, I have spent 80% of my time in bed. But I’ve also had a lot of fun snuggling with these two. The constant change and the new measures can be frustrating at times I won’t deny, and I do miss our old lives BC (before covid). But I’m thankful for

✨Our family mostly together in one place, if not there’s also technology!
✨Health
✨The husband who always always reminds us to be thankful because this is such a powerful tool.

Today I took my first MC of the year thanks to post vaccine side effects. But is it weird that I was upset that I missed macs breakfast that the team ordered in & I missed my own table? (Except the lime green hahaha)

I guess that’s the thing - even in these situations where we don’t really get much social interaction, manage busy ward loads and settle loads of admin, I appreciate the ways we all try to make ourselves a little happier. Even if it’s just a cookie or two.

From tomorrow we take a step back into phase 2, my spirits are definitely a little dampened. But I guess we gotta do what we’ve gotta do.

Meanwhile thankful for my village that includes mom who took over #blueberryseah for the day and husband who showered her (and looks 32 years pregnant 😂). #佘lygoodnessandmercy

A year ago, #blueberryseah would oblige me and my photos when she was fed enough milk. Now she tosses my art at me as if saying “you want me to be in the photo, YOU hold it.”

Oh little B, it is truly God’s grace I get to be your mom. Whether or not your pose for me is irrelevant 😂

This week hasn’t been the easiest, with all the news and the ever evolving situation. One of the bug questions in my head was - what if at some point of time i had to be quarantined? I have no idea how Little B would cope with an extended period away from me (or vice versa).

I’ll be honest and say I’ve been quite edgy because of everything that’s going on. But I’m thankful for the little ways that we try to make the days better for ourselves. Spruced up our ward phones because every little bit of cuteness increases quality of life. #kristenwrites

The force is strong with these little ones who have turned our lives upside down. Figured we couldn’t get them to wear sunnies and hold lightsabers so this will have to do.

Girls are twinning from top to toe, right down to their @rascalandfriends diapers... until one decides to rip off the other’s glasses 😂

𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪! 💕

Was making cake toppers to replace stock at @wob.sg and then I got carried away. Ended up making some of my #kkslittlepeople into toppers to celebrate the women in your life - particularly appropriate now that momma’s day is on the way. So drop me a DM if you decide you’d like something for a cake or for a decor, just a little something to spruce up someone’s day 🌸

Weekends are so precious - I hardy spend them with friends anymore because they’re our only family time. Today was our only day together as a family... but nothing went according to plan. 😂

We had a clingy toddler, who didn’t finish her afternoon milk but didn’t want dinner either. She put everything in her mouth then spat it all out. I couldn’t quite tell what was bothering her or whether it was a leap? We went back right after but on the bus ride home, she got cranky. So there I was in the second last photo standing in the middle of the bus singing and praying over her. Hungry, tired? I didn’t know anymore.

Well we made it home, laughing one moment and fussing the next. Most of the time I was clueless to what her fussing meant, yet soaking up every little drop of what was left of our weekend. I’d like to tell her “it’s okay, we’ll try again tomorrow” but the reality is “I’ll see you in the evening when I come home from work, for a short while before you go to bed.”

Some days this full time work mom thing can be hard on the heart. #佘lygoodnessandmercy

We sent the kid to the in-law’s (I almost wrote kids but i only have one), dressed up and heading out for a decent lunch. The home is a mess, but hey that’s reality - you get privy to my favourite photo/art feature wall & some of our most important appliaces/toys in the home then. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Shortlisted a few lovely places to try but yours truly hardly books fancy restaurants so they were all booked up #fail. It’s ok next time I know to plan for a nice lunch sooner 😂

Meanwhile, I am impressed that I can still fit into my wedding top and will continue to wear it annually for as long as I can. Whilst J helped me put it on this morning I had an interesting thought about how it kind of represented a marriage - I actually can’t wear it on my own and will always need J’s help to do it.

I remember asking my mum,
“How do you know someone is the one?”
“When they’re willing to try.”

Highs and lows. Marriage definitely isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. Reminiscing our younger selves and the incredible day we had.

Just clarifying - Five years, not five people.

Always thankful, @taylapong 📷 #佘lygoodnessandmercy

“So you teach kids to speak?”
“Not really. I work with adults on swallowing.”

Sounds simple doesn’t it? But it’s actually pretty complex! Going through the processes of training a newer person and realizing how challenging it is to explain the gazillion thoughts in my head when I see someone - about safety, quality of life, and basically everything else that we observe about the person.

So here’s me introducing my day job & if you aren’t sure what I do 8-5, swipe on! Eating and drinking is my bread and butter (literally!)

(Not sure how coherent I am - the brain is short circuiting today) #kkslittlepeople #kristenwrites

Just over a month since I’m back to juggling full time work, the part time 🧑🏻‍🎨 and family. For the first time in a long time, I’ve chosen to put a halt on the commissions coming in while I finish up my currently deadlines, simply because I’m not coping with my deadlines. It’s a strange feeling to me, but also strangely feels good.

As I walked from the station to work this morning, I realized that I had expected adding on my new “job” of motherhood would leave me panda-eyed sleeping at 2 and waking at 6 to go to work.

But I’m proud to say I feel like we’ve gotten into some sort of routine - where I sleep by 1130 and weekends remain family days. I realized learning to set boundaries has kept me more alive than I’ve felt in a long time.

How do I get artwork done you may ask? 1h on the way to work + 1h home + 2.5h after she sleeps till when I sleep! Simply because I generally no longer need the extra hours to sleep in the train ☀️ I’m happier, more energised and readier keep up with the active child.

Back when I was dreaming about #blueberryseah’s birthday, I was so sure I wanted a Dino birthday party. But this cake has turned out to be my favourite because it means something to her. Super cute though I love how these little illustrations are part of cake toppers that people can purchase.

Also swipe on to see why I say Little B loves birds - she signs it when she hears them!

Here’s a photo of the sunset from last night, which reminded me of something I wrote while looking at another gorgeous sunset. So I dug back and realized I posted it exactly 3 years ago. (It also just stopped pouring! Just like then!)

It must’ve been a prompting from God though, to remember where I came from. This was written in a time when J and I were married about 2 years and really yearning for a child - back then I wasn’t ready to share too much yet, but God reminded me that there was a time for everything.

Funny how the cycle has gone another round again, and this time I can sense a discontent in my heart again. I literally caught myself thinking earlier today - i can’t wait till the day I’ve decided I have enough kids so I won’t have worry about when or whether the next one is coming. (I definitely am grateful for what I have but I think there will always be a nagging feeling given past experience, and I know history can repeat itself if I’m not careful.) But here it is again, the gentle yet stern reminder that there is a time for everything. God is sovereign and He is in control, because He loves us.

After talking to some of you about the pros and cons of social media (sorry I didn’t get to replying everyone!). But I’ve been listening to Turn Your Eyes quite a bit over the week, and thought it apt to end to week talking about it - the truth is really if we focus on Christ, then things that the world deems important wouldn’t worry us so much. It’s not easy but continue to hold on to that.

Also mucked up the flowers on the top right in this piece. But decided instead of photoshopping it or something just to leave it there because I wanted everyone to know that I’m just human - 7 years of florals later i still muck up pretty often. ♥️ anyway swipe for the process!

Hope you’re having a fab Sunday!

Some days it is a struggle to juggle my night-time interests, family and full time work... so much so that I often neglect social life. Don’t know about you, but sometimes it feels like since covid there’s been less impetus to head out and meet up... or maybe it’s just because I became a mom during that time that my entire life took on a new normal?

Anyway talking about juggling - I was supposed to place the phone cover orders this morning but things got so busy. So taking this chance to do a last call shoutout for orders & showcase this gorgeous photo that @sabsiez took of me in @goyathelabel!
