Such is the world of blogging. You just never know who you meet.
You could meet your new BFF.
You could meet a future business partner.
You can never be alone as a blogger.
And communities like the fabulous SITS Girls ensures you will always find support, community and camaraderie with fellow bloggers.
I am beyond thrilled that today is my turn as the Featured Blogger at SITS. YAY!!
If you’re visiting from SITS, hello and welcome to my little corner of the Internet.
I was going to do a vlog to welcome you, but figured you might not have time to watch it. Plus, I already have a welcome vlog on my About Page.
In case you don’t have time for that, a little about me.
I’m a Malaysian stay-at-home mother of one boy, with another baby boy on the way (due in early May).
This is us:
No toddler was harmed in the making of this picture
On Mama Wants This!, I write about motherhood, share recipes (I am a huge dessert fan, as evidenced by my epic Sweet Tooth board on Pinterest), and occasionally embarrass myself for your amusement.
I also co-host a fabulous monthly link up, Memories Captured, where we ask you to link up your post with a favorite picture capturing a memory of a loved one or moment (there are monthly prizes, how awesome is that?).
AND, I’m part of a beautiful community of international mom writers, over at World Moms Blog.
Mostly, this blog is a journey.
My journey as a mother.
My sons’ journey as they grow up.
My journey as a ‘writer’, if I dare call myself that.
My journey as an aspiring (but bumbling) photographer, as I take on the epic Project 365 (or 366) this year.
So stranger-now-friend-and-fellow-SITS-girl, welcome, and I hope you’ll stick around a little. Let’s get to know each other.

So glad to see it’s your SITS day, and I’ve been reading along for awhile now. Hope you enjoy your day!!!

Love the blog! I actually found it several weeks ago as I was starting to dive into the mommyblogging world and book marked it. So, I’m thrilled to see you featured on SITS. What you said about the community of bloggers is absolutely represented on your site. It’s clear you’ve found some wonderful and insightful mentors and friends with whom you generously share your blogspace.
I’m raising a child (and one on the way too – just 4 weeks to go) in another country and am looking to connect with mothers who share my parenting philosphies, questions and struggles. Glad to have found you!
Thank you Kim!!! I’m sure we’ll see a lot more of each other
Happy to see that you’re featured today and LOVE the picture. Totally cute! Happy SITS day!

Thank you Michelle!
What a great blog. I’ve enjoyed reading some of your posts here – but the comments wouldn’t open for me at letter to girls and what motherhood isn’t. I enjoyed them just the same. As a mom who is newly on the other side of 50 – I wanted to add that feeling beautiful is something we often find ourself struggling with as we age. I was comfortable and confident in my physicality when younger – now often feel invisible. I should be wiser, shouldn’t I? We all have our days, huh? So just wanted to let you know that the letter to girls was helpful to “girls” of all ages. Thank you for the reminder.
Barb-The Empty Nest Mom ‘s last awesome post..Puff Pancakes
Thank you Barb for your comment here (comments on posts older than 21 days close automatically – I rectified that!). And I’m so glad you can relate to the letter – it’s a reminder for all of us, no matter our age.
