hello! i’m audrey

i’m glad you’re here

Pull up a chair, have a seat! Our table is always open to anyone in need of hot coffee and conversation.

I’m Audrey, a mom of two, living in a HDB flat in sunny Singapore. Like many of my peers, I spend my days juggling my multiple roles of wife, mother, daughter, employee and friend. All while trying to push back against the fast pace of the world, slowing down to savour life’s everyday moments. I seek beauty in the mundane, uncovering truth and goodness through the grace God has lavished upon us.

Over here, I hope to share inspiring thoughts and ideas to spur you onward toward the good life, so that you may experience the fullness of abundant life that Christ has so lovingly gifted us.

I also host an online community, The Ordinary Matters, to connect likeminded women who desire inspiration and encouragement in their ordinary lives.

May you enjoy the time you spend here, and may it inspire you onward and upward in your off-screen life!

Adjusting to life with a new baby. 1-2/ so thank Adjusting to life with a new baby. 

1-2/ so thankful for their ability to play for hours on end; the vroom car city set from @sparksmagtiles allowed them to combine their duplo, magnetic tiles and the vehicle tracks in new ways, what fun! 

3-4/ lots of reading and watching baby, reading to baby, and watching baby while reading. 

5-6/ they say the first child turns life upside down as you adapt to a completely new routine around the child, but a third child simply adapts to the rhythms already present. Baby joins in instrument practice and homeschool lessons when he’s not otherwise occupied, and everyone’s happy to welcome him in.

Having a home that we all get to spend lots of tim Having a home that we all get to spend lots of time in is a massive privilege. But it also means it gets dirty, fast. 

@dyson_sg ‘s latest wet floor cleaner, the PencilWash, is a simple and lightweight wireless powered mop that cleans up wet and dry messes with a single swipe. It has a small footprint, making it suitable for homes short on space.

*sharing my personal experience, not that this is *sharing my personal experience, not that this is the best or only way, nor to invalidate anyone else’s choices*

There is much to be grateful for in how the education system spat me out the other end into a career path that I as a child could have never expected. The first in the family to get a degree, and a professional one at that. Earning money I never even knew existed. Experiencing the ups and downs of the intense corporate life in Singapore. 

All these, preparing me for a quiet life in this season of motherhood. The late nights, the intense psychological demands, who knew?

Just putting it out there that just because I can work as X doesn’t mean I need to work as X, and that even if social pressures push us in a certain direction, we are autonomous human beings who make and own our choices. 

If you want different, choose different. ✨
