Open House May 2009

I decided to take full advantage of the presence of my confinement nanny who'd help look after the baby, to organize the one and only Open House I could probably manage this year.

I invited my dear friend Boon Kuan to come along to sell her beautiful hand-crafted jewellery and she gamely agreed, with her three-month-old son in tow.

Seen here - Boon Kuan taking time in between customers to breastfeed her baby. I really like this photo because of the tranquility it captures.

It was wonderful meeting up with mummies in person, as usual. What was unexpected, though, was that there were actually not one, but two homeschooling families that visited! I was always under the impression that homeschool mummies were among the most capable, dedicated and creative people. And that the homeschool kids were the most delightful to have around.  The nine lovely home schooled kiddies that passed through my door that afternoon certainly strengthened this impression.
