Dim Sum

No Asian experience is complete without enjoying dim sum for lunch every so often!

Elise loves char sui bau (light steamed pork buns)... here she is tucking into some!

September 2015 in Crystal Jade, Vivocity, Singapore

We are also having some garlic spinach, long bau and bbq pork sesame buns... delish!

Love and hugs
Rebecca and Elise

About Rebecca and my 'Creative Expat Mum' blog

Hi! I'm Rebecca Allen and I'm the proud mum to my cute-ilicious three year old daughter, Elise and have another baby on the way.

I'm English but have lived overseas all my life (well for most of it anyway) and I love it. I love the exploration; I love the fact that travel puts you out of your comfort zone; I love the fact that you learn new things; try new things; and become a fuller (and hopefully more interesting) person as a result.

Currently my family lives in Singapore. We moved here in April 2014 from Sydney, Australia, where we had been living for over 7 years.

The name of this blog encapsulates a few of my many passions:

CREATIVE - I am a creative person for sure. I wouldn't say I am wildly proficient in any one particular 'craft' but I do like to try my hand at 'stuff'. To date I have tried cooking, drawing, painting, making jewellery, baking, writing, illustrating, acting, singing, playing the flute and piano. Most of all I love doing 'crafty things' with Elise - I think it releases all sorts of interesting discussion and creativity within us both (she is a chatterbox, just like me).

EXPAT - ever since I was three, I have lived 'overseas'. I don't know where 'home' actually is - I guess it is where my immediate family are which includes Ross (my partner of 13 years) and Elise, our daughter. I like the fact that I don't feel 'stuck' or 'loyal' to any one particular country, or city, or place... it feels wonderfully liberating knowing I can be happy wherever I am.

To date I have lived in England, Hong Kong, Australia and Singapore. No doubt we will move as a family once again at some time or other. Bring it on!

MUM - I absolutely adore being a mum; it is the most precious gift. Elise is an absolute wonder and I love spending time with her and watching her learn and grow. Being a mum is an amazing 'job'. There aren't many other 'jobs' out there that are solely about developing somebody else. What could be more crucial or important than that?

Don't expect this blog to be chronological because it won't be... my brain doesn't work like that. I might be talking about a present day experience and then the next post might be about my childhood in Hong Kong. Hopefully you find what you're looking for and enjoy whatever you find!

I hope you enjoy reading my posts and give me feedback, ideas and your perspectives on your own experiences - whether creative, expat or parent... I'd love to hear from you.

Love and hugs,

Rebecca x
