I would give up suits and heels for aprons and slippers anytime if that means I am there to be with my girls every day of their growing up years. It's probably good that my family was not affluent to start with and my mum has always taught me to be content with what I have. I do think I'm destined to be where I am in life and you are right, sharing those milestone moments with my little ones is truly priceless. Thanks much for your sweet comment, we did gain wrinkles, old hair but also much wisdom and strength in the last decade! =)~Summer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07478137784353655124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546965252487257512.post-88455568868654184382014-08-04T17:16:58.184+08:002014-08-04T17:16:58.184+08:00Hi Evon, thanks for leaving a comment and it's...Hi Evon, thanks for leaving a comment and it's awesome to hear from readers like you who think likewise. Yes, true riches can never be measured, only felt. One thing for sure, it really motivates me to keep writing and keep sharing.

It's good to read comments like yours to keep me going strong too. Thanks!

Haha yesh I love my sporting ah lao and I'm so happy to have such a man in my life.

I don't feel small in front of my friends, at least, not anymore. It's just sometimes I don't know how to explain my choice in life and my feelings to them, even though there might not be a need to make anyone understand. Most people will probably think I am overly blinded by a love for kids and not being logical in my thinking in any case. I agree how blogging provides us with opportunities that we might not have gotten otherwise and I'm super thankful for that. Cheers to both of us and thanks so much for the encouragement!~Summer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07478137784353655124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546965252487257512.post-62613229888013940162014-08-01T12:10:19.483+08:002014-08-01T12:10:19.483+08:00The world measures success by the 5Cs, but all th...The world measures success by the 5Cs, but all the riches of this world cannot be compared to the moments of true joy and happiness which you've found in the little family you've started with Xav. As a working Mom, I sometimes miss the important milestones of my babies (their first smiles, first roller-over, first steps) but you were there to witness them all. I see the strong deep bond you share with your girls and I know, your tangible reward is not in a 5-figure career or smart suits or swanky offices with a view but in the secure, confident, cheerful little ladies you are raising! Keep up the good work and Happy 11th Anniversary to you both. P.S. You both didn't age at all! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583204247600522539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546965252487257512.post-42792779328204614172014-08-01T11:30:20.887+08:002014-08-01T11:30:20.887+08:00Hi Summer,

True riches indeed can't be measured by money and materialistic gains, thank you for reminding us this.

Who else gets paid in truckloads of hugs and kisses and smiles?<br />Every 4th of July I know that I'm very rich too but I need reminders occasionally. <br />So, thank you for reminder!<br /><br />(And short hair looks great on you. Can consider!)Annabelle Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882149938563579199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546965252487257512.post-66478359364727044402014-07-31T21:50:39.927+08:002014-07-31T21:50:39.927+08:00You are really one rich woman.. all the wonderful ...You are really one rich woman.. all the wonderful experiences you have and you get to see your kids grow up before your eyes...that's the best!!Dominique Gohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597686512878262017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546965252487257512.post-58495107145812659122014-07-31T21:48:13.944+08:002014-07-31T21:48:13.944+08:00Awww Summer what a beautiful post!

Your ah lao is one of the most sporting (not sporty, though yes he's sporty too) ah laos I know! <br /><br />Like you, I love being with the kids so much and feel so blessed that I get to teach them and guide them (and discipline them). I'm sure that your girls will grow up to be confident and happy people, just because their Mama was around them so much and giving them so much love!!!<br /><br />PS as for you not puking on the boat? Well, you're married to a sailor eh? So much keep up with the reputation eh? ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140142215352358254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546965252487257512.post-7166312898783611772014-07-31T14:20:29.124+08:002014-07-31T14:20:29.124+08:00You are probably richer than your 5 figure pay che...You are probably richer than your 5 figure pay check friend with your abundance of joy, happiness and simply love from the girls and hubby :) I wouldn't have felt small in front of the successful friends simply I love being with the kids. I bet you are too. And you are so positive being a SAHM. In fact, through blogging you are already way ahead on the successful path. You provide amazing opportunities for the kids like the TVC and motivates / bring joy to others through your happy blog :) Happy anniversary to both of you!Christyhttp://kidsrsimple.comnoreply@blogger.com
