Handmade gifts are still the best, if you ask me.
I've been wanting to write about this but decided to wait till all our friends and family have received it so as not to ruin the surprise.
While we could not hold a big full month party for Ansel, we instead did something fun and different by undertaking a family craft project. This was done in March when I was still on confinement but as you know me, this Mama cannot sit still and gotta find things to do, so I was glad to be able to do some designing, cutting and pasting together with the kids.
In my #Creativity521 post on the blog today, I share how we came together to design a unique Thank You card to thank our friends and family for ther blessings, a customised magnet with a to-do list and a 30-day collage to celebrate baby Ansel's first month.
I am especially proud of the big girl who designed the 'Thank you' banner on the card and wrote the message, the little sister who drew the cute baby, and the boy who was so patient and determined to help me peel off hundreds of pieces of tape day after day.
It's a collective effort from our family and a reminder that simple gifts made from the heart can go a long way. A big thank you to everyone who blessed us with gifts, popped by to visit or sent us their wishes too.
Till our next craft project!

"Remember this, that very little is needed to make a happy life."
That is my philosophy in life and something I try to instill in my kids, which is why year after year, I insist on giving them only simple but unique gifts on this day to show my ❤. Yup, 妈妈对你们的爱其实很简单,却又无与伦比.
This year, we have been doing upcycling projects at home so I thought of doing these for them. All I used were recycled glass bottles, paper shreds to fill them up, satay sticks wrapped in washi tape, a printout of their photo and a customised message, along with many different mini origami folded using coloured paper.
Let's see, we have a heart, a bat, a penguin, a snail, a crane and a butterfly for each of them and they were really surprised and over the moon to receive them early this morning. They knew each origami was made with my love for them and that was all it mattered.
We then made our way out to have kuey chap for brunch where the kids scooted for 2.4km while I walked (that is how it is after the big girl took over my scooter and we are already blessed to have three) and we had an afternoon of fun exploring a couple of outdoor playgrounds. It may be a simple way to spend the day yet our hearts are full.
Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend too! Happy Children's Day, everyone! May all the kids have a blast and may all of us stay young at heart no matter how we age. 祝周末愉快!

Simple but sincere. That's what we strive to achieve every year when it comes to making Teacher's Day gifts. Yup, we still believe in making them, not buying them, although we did get some Kit Kat to go with these bookmarks in the hope that the teachers can find time to take a break or pick a book up to read.
These bookmarks are a combination of the kids' efforts - the main quotes are done by the 9yo who is very much into handlettering nowadays, the drawings are done by the 6yo while the pasting of stickers is done by the 3yo who also wrote his own name on every card for his teachers. They are given the freedom to write any personalised message and add some decorations if desired. Does that mean I did nothing? Haha. Got lar, I helped to laminate and cut the bookmarks (got rounded edges somemore okay), guide the boy in writing the messages, cut the strings as well as teach the kids how to tie them on their own.
It warms my heart to hear how the teachers appreciated these simple gifts. One was shocked that all the words were handwritten on a blank piece of paper and said "I thought you printed it", one said "I always keep all the handmade stuff from you all" and another said "so nice of you to do this yourself". It's a reminder that gifts do not need to be costly or unique; they just need to be done from the heart with ❤.
So yup, we will continue doing these super easy but heartfelt DIY gifts to show our respect and appreciation for the teachers every year. Happy Teacher's Day to all the teachers (actually including parents because we are the first teachers to our kids) in the world, thank you so much for making a difference and helping to shape our little ones.
