Well, hello there. Hope the first three weeks of 2018 went well and amazing for you. The first two weeks for me were all about slowing down, pondering what my goals should be for the year, and most of all praying and reflecting on the Word. My toddler got sick the third week which threw all our sleep and schedules off. All is well now, so I'm spending this night writing about my one word for 2018. Finally. Because as you will read on, I have a mission this year. :) One Word The …

Sparkle in the Simple
Hello there. I'm Lai and I'm typing these words away giddily and excitedly at the same time. Much like seeing that special someone and realizing he/she is the one. I've been blogging sporadically the past few years. My last blog entry on my old blog is here. When I became a mother a year ago, my life was changed forever.
