Here's to a great 2014!!

The first day of 2014 started off wonderful the way it always does since the past 4 years. It was a day where us Evurl girls gather for a warm chit chat, surprise each other with new year goodies and talk about almost everything - this year, the topic centered around groceries, types of fishes and vegetables! ;P

Though we were always excited with our epic presents wrapping skills and creativity, this year's do was a little simpler but no less exciting.

A 2-week vacation in Paris & Zurich with my girlfriends.

I was away for an excellent 2-week holiday with wonderful girlfriends and since I was leaving my children and husband on their own, I was busy with the preparation 2 weeks before the trip, cooking all the necessary lunch and dinner for the family and made them into frozen 2 weeks stock, preparing checklists of chores and meals, etc. so that when it was time to leave, I left with a clear conscience :)

It was a good break for me especially since the four of us have been planning this for more than 5-6 years.. one of the girls has since then called Switzerland her home and we've all put off the plans due to the many commitments that arose since the last 6 years. I'm so glad that we finally managed to put things aside and made it a point to finally do it.
