The stylish mum of three answers questions about the reality of parenting at home under quarantine
How has working mum Sarah Illyas been spending her days since MCO? A look at the Sri Lanka-born fashionista's Instagram reveals plenty of family wefies with her adorable kids and the occasional #OOTD.
In between mother-son Tik Tok videos and other delightful antics, the energetic young mother of Ayaan (5), Arissa (3) and Ayden (3 months old) always leaves us in awe of how well she is juggling family life, her marriage of 7 years to entrepreneur husband Agha Babar Mazhar, and her job as head of strategic partnerships at Zalora Malaysia.
"In terms of personality, my husband and I are polar opposites. But right now, our values, our faith and our vision of the bigger picture are pretty much aligned, and it's taken time for us to learn that," muses Sarah. "We might argue over what to have for dinner, but facing life's bigger decisions together is easier."
Having spent much of her pre-MCO days on maternity leave with baby Ayden, Sarah likens the hectic pace of family life before this to a race – and she's grateful for the chance to slow down for a change.
