After thoughts of Cold Storage Kids Run 2015

On the night before the Cold Storage Kids Run 2015, the kids set their alarm clocks and went to bed slightly earlier than usual without complaints. The next morning, their alarm clocks went off at 530am, and they walked into my room quietly. Wow! What independence! No cries, no whining, and on auto-mode, they washed up, ate breakfast and waited happily to get out of the house. For no reason, the toddler woke up earlier than all of us and asked for milk. So, no kids needed to be dragged out of the bed and for once, we left the house on time!

Keep Calm and Mother On

You would have known by now I write many posts on my challenges as a mum of 3.
And many would have remembered my FTWM (Full Time Working Mum) posts, including my A Working Mum’s Woes, Work and family – Are we placing the right priorities, A Laid Back Mum’s price – on academic and Daily routine as a FTWM.
I am happy to share that I am invited to contribute to the parenting book called “KEEP CALM AND MOTHER ON” by Pauline Loh, the editor and Armour Publishing Pte Ltd.

Keep Calm and Mother On

This is not a yet-another-parenting-book but a book that shares 21 mum’s stories and these mums have kids ranging from 1 year old to 21 years old, from babies to National Service Men (Grown up Kids). These authors are well-known mums which include award winning author, Emily Lim, The Straits Times Deputy Editor Clarissa Oon, Founder of Pat’s Schoolhouse Patricia Koh and many inspiring ladies.

I wrote about Staying Sane as a Full-Time Working Mum.

eXplorerkid @ Downtown East + {Giveaway}

The exams are finally over! If you would remember my hardship and lessons learnt as a laid back mum, you would know how happy I am for the first time, that I am looking forward to the days after my kids’ exams! Never felt as happy after “kids’ exams” before…. and I thought I will never be the study-with-the-kids-and-not-too-sure-who-is-taking-exams-mum…*eyes rolling*…

Immediately, after the exams, we had lots of activities waiting for us! One of the fun ones that I want to share with all is eXplorerkid @ Downtown East Health and Adventure Quest. Best of all, I have 10 family tickets to give away! Apologies for not sharing this earlier due to you know… ahem.. the exams, that even blogger mum has to take a break from blogging due to the …ahem..exams…

For once, it is the dads who will be sweating it out with the kids. The Dad & child Health and Adventure Quest is specially organized to strengthen the father and child bond and what’s more to let the dad to have the perfect reason to exercise, no? Fret not if you think that any team will be demoralized for not emerging the winner, because every team will be a winner and will win attractive prizes! So, this is a sure win quest and a very meaningful one to take part in.

Petit Bateau – Just-Indulge {+ Giveaway}

Sponsored + Giveaway

There is this hidden gem in the heartland of Toa Payoh where some regular customers would wish no one knows about. Reason being they enjoyed the personal service of shopping for Kate spade bags, even few hundred threadcounts Kate Spade Quilt, branded diaper bags at a steal plus half priced Petit Bateau clothes in this little shop in the neighbourhood.

Upon hearing about Petit Bateau at half priced or less, I naturally ushered my brood to check out this store to see if I can get some comfy clothes for my kids without burning a hole in my pocket.
