31 Fun and Free places to visit in Singapore – Singapore Philatelic Museum

Thanks to the Children’s Seasons held annually in Singapore, this year, besides visiting the National Museum, we took our children to visit Singapore Philatelic Museum (SPM).

What is a Philatelic Museum?? Philatelic comes from the word Philately, which means the study of stamps and postal history and other related items. I googled up this word. It sounds so profound. Basically it is a Continue reading “31 Fun and Free places to visit in Singapore – Singapore Philatelic Museum”

My daily routine as a FTWM + Sanity Tips

Christy familyBeing a FTWM (Full Time Working Mum) is like holding 2 full time jobs. A career woman by the day and a mum-teacher-maid by night. It is not easy to handle the evening’s demands of child-rearing and house chores after a full day fatigue and stress at work.

SMB Blogger Event 2014

I follow many blogs locally and internationally. One of my favourite is Nicole from Planning with kids. She is an inspiration. She juggles her household with 5 kids and has a successful blogging career. She upgrades herself and motivates readers with her disciplined routine tips. One of the annual event she speaks at is the Australian Problogger Event where experienced international speakers share on their expertise on blogging. Reading about the Problogger event always have me thinking whether we do have one in Singapore that will benefit bloggers like me to learn and be motivated in blogging. So, it was a much unintentional thought that came to mind and before I realized what I was in for, Rachel, one of the SMB founders, asked me to organize one for the SMB (Singapore Mom Bloggers) community where the speakers are our very own SMB mums!
