Reading, writing, watching documentaries, cooking, playing board games
I have been a member of a ladies bookclub for the past 2 years, and I greatly value the experience. We meet up once a month to discuss a selected book, exchange perspectives and insights, rate the book and explore its themes in relation to our own experience, over a lunch date.
I enjoy cooking for my family and experimenting with new recipes from our cookbook. I also take pleasure in hosting extended family and friends, Im an aspiring chef.
I love watching documentaries and podcasts about motherhood, leadership, financial literacy, fashion and current affairs.
My kids and I also enjoy spending quality time together playing board games with scabble being our favorite.
