A Birthday Special

Meeting up with friends never fails to perk you up. Yesterday was a good friend’s birthday and we decided to meet up and have a lunch party.(The public holiday in school was put to good use!) To make her day special one of us cooked the lunch which proved to be a refreshing change (all of us had had enough of takeaway Chinese!) Another one got a delectable Black Forest cake and the gift ofcourse.  All mommies with their kiddoes running and playing between our legs had a blast, breezers, starters, et all! It sure was fun, not to mention our friend who was really touched for the effort we all had put in just to make her day special! It felt wonderful to have been able to bring happiness to someone on a day that’s important to them. 

Amidst the chatter of the kids, changing baby’s diapers and feeding lunch to toddlers, we mommies shared our experiences on everything from breastfeeding, vaccinations to travelling with kids.  It is a cathartic experience where you can tell your mommy-time stories, miseries and little joys to other moms in similar situations.  What better than a sympathetic ear that listens to your wails and woes!!!
