A simple mum who believes in giving her children the ability to enjoy simple things in life…
My boy YH is 6 years old this year. I realized that I have been writing so much about my baby YT’s progress that it seems unfair that I do not document some of his siblings progress at their respective ages. At 6 years old, the below are what my boy is right now:

It’s amazing how babies grow and the speed at which they grow.
My baby has passed his first birthday when I wrote an open letter to him. I hope it will be memorable for him when he grows up reading the letter. It’s a letter full of love, love and love. And it’s also easy to forget such intense love when we go through everyday life in joy, laughter, anger, frustration, tears, disappointment, and back to love again Continue reading “My baby at 13th month”
All mummies should have a ready stock of art and craft supplies for “rainy days”. Yes, rainy days or days when unexpected events happened, and you have to stay home with your kids.

It shall also be more challenging this time round as I will be preparing for XX to wake up early for morning school after 2 years of afternoon school in Primary 1 and 2. YH will be in afternoon school. Hence, I need to adjust for both kids concurrently.

Singapore is a small, sunny island. We do not have much land. However, there are much to see and play and have fun if you look properly and explore around. Every weekend, we bring our kids outdoors. Even when I had morning sickness, was heavily pregnant and after my baby was out, we continued bringing the kids out. We want our kids to enjoy their childhood while they can and while they still want to tag along with us on weekends.
I have put together 10 fun outdoor activities to do with your kids. Continue reading “10 Fun Outdoor activities for the kids 2013”
