Home is Where the Heart Is: August 2009
http://kwokland.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 25, 2009. I was sitting on the living room floor around 8pm last night, nursing Simon and enjoying the breeze coming in the window. Francis was outside mowing the lawn, and the rapid clicking of our push mower was the only sound I could hear, except for one or two cars driving past the house. It was quiet and lovely and sleepy and perfect. Mr Kwok, is that you? That voice. It was so. Guys, that's Mr. Kwok, behind the bushes! Is this actually happening? Hey Mr. Kwok! Or perhaps the differe...

Saturday, September 5, 2009. Because I always show you my cakes. There's not much to this post, other than photos - just a warning. It turns out that the cake Francis had booked for me has been cancelled. Apparently the birthday girl's father really wants to make her a cake this year. The mother is skeptical, but willing to let him try. On the upside, she. Want me to make a bunch of elaborate cookies to give out as the party favors. What's a lake without a lily pad? Finally, a pair of "Teddy Bears' Picni...

Home is Where the Heart Is: February 2009
http://kwokland.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 12, 2009. Last night I had an especially good sleep. We had just put fresh, clean sheets on the bed, and I had just finished a nice, longer-than-usual shower and donned my coziest pjs, fresh from the clean laundry basket. Slipping into bed was heavenly. And the bed. We started our day with a mother-daughter sponge bath, because I find lifting 24lbs in and out of the tub tricky with my big belly. Wednesday, February 11, 2009. I Like My Belly. But I wear my scars (and even the extra poun...

Home is Where the Heart Is: November 2009
http://kwokland.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 22, 2009. I've decided to delete this blog. It's not what I'd originally intended it to be, nor is it what I'd like it to be. It's lacking focus and direction, and I think it's time to just start over. I'm going to take a couple of weeks off, and then I'll be launching a new blog. If you would like to read the new blog, feel free to email me at kwokDOTjaclynATgmailDOTcom and I'd be happy to share the new address with you when there's something for you to read. Friday, November 20, 2009.

Home is Where the Heart Is: March 2009
http://kwokland.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 27, 2009. Okay, confession time. I'm a little. um. odd, when it comes to baking and serving guests. Just a little. In the last weeks of my pregnancy with Norah, I had that time-honoured nesting instinct kick in. But where many women channel that energy into a good deep-clean of their house, or stocking their freezer with pasta sauces and frozen casseroles, my energies went into something a little less practical. You guessed it. Baking. And why did I feel the need to do this, you ask? A lot ...

Home is Where the Heart Is: "Lord, I am not worthy"
http://kwokland.blogspot.com/2009/06/lord-i-am-not-worthy.html
Monday, June 15, 2009. Lord, I am not worthy". It's my favourite part of the Mass. Gets me every time. We echo those centuries-old words when we pray, "Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed.". For a long time, I pondered exactly what. It is He would say. It's not like an "abracadabra" kind of magic word, I know. I assume it's. God That makes sense to the logical part of my brain. She hears him say, "Mary" and immediately she knows him. For me, during Mass,.
