One - What's your favorite moment in your children's life?

I love walking into my children's room first thing in the morning and saying good morning to them. The recognition in their eyes and the way they smile back at me is totally the best way to start a day. However, I'd have to say that my most favourite moment with the elder one, cos the younger one can't talk yet, is when she first called me Mummy.. i love hearing her call me that!

Two - Biggest challenges in motherhood

Wanting to be there with them and for them ALL.THE.TIME! and definitely breast feeding. I give props to all mothers that can breastfeed, it seriously is hard work! in between the sleepless nights, feeding, changing, putting baby to sleep you have to devote a good few hours a day to pump in order to keep milk supply up, it's tough! Another big challenge for me personally was to be persistent with putting my kids into a routine. I was very adamant with that from day one as i knew i wanted some me downtime each day in the evening, both my girls started sleeping from 7pm to 7am from 3 months old.

Three -?What inspired your decision to start your business?

One of my business partners Tjin Lee (we interviewed her here) actually inspired me to start a business and hence Baby Style Icon was born. She is a classic example of a successful Mumpreneur, seeing how she could balance work and motherhood due to flexible schedule really gave me hope that mothers can have it all if they wanted to.

Four - What are you most proud of?

I am most proud of being able to take a risk and quit my 9-5 corporate job and start this business - all for my kids. Because i wanted to spend time with them and be there for every milestone.

Five - What inspires you when you dress your girls?

I usually buy things for them that I could see myself wearing as a little girl. Has to be appealing but also practical and comfy at the same time. I don't do itchy tulle dresses or super tight clothing.?I don't think they have one certain style because some days they are really cute with all the pinks and flowers and other days they are wearing black leather and sneakers. I guess I'm kind of fickle myself when it comes to clothing and fashion, i don't just stick to one style, i wear what i feel like on that particular day.

Six - Tips for new mums

Routine, routine, routine! try get your baby into a routine, you don't have to follow any one method or book but just get them into a routine so that they know what to expect all times. Babies hate the unexpected, so if they know what is coming up next be it a feed, a sleep etc they will be much more contented. A baby that sleeps well, feeds well and therefore will be a happy baby. Happy baby = happy mummy.

Seven - All I wanted for Mother's Day this year is...

... to sleep in!! haha no besides that, I'd just like to spend it with my family, I want to take the girls out some where where they will have fun because when i see them laugh and smile, it makes me truly happy and that's enough for me
