One thing that you’d see most expecting couples do prior to popping is a maternity shoot. Again, this is not a compulsory thing to do per se. For us, we thought that it’d be nice to celebrate Ruth’s impending arrival (then) and to do one thing that is truly for ourselves and our family this...
Yes, we’ve only put this together a week later than most would have expected. We obviously overestimated our abilities to “keep up” with our regular lives (including updating this website / various social media platforms about Ruth’s birth) after Ruth was born. It has taken us more than a week to pen our labour story...
Aside from Tian Wei Signature, one of the other confinement food delivery services that we were rather keen to try was Yue Zi Le Confinement Catering. What drew our interest to their confinement food trial was the number of signature dishes that they have on their menu – a whopping 41 different nourishing soups, 22...
Given that we had opted to do away with having a confinement nanny, one of the “tasks” that we’ve been up to over the past few weeks is sampling various different vendors for confinement food delivery services. We first decided to sample the dishes from Tian Wei Signature, one of the confinement meal delivery services...
Hello there 21 June and a warm, hearty Father’s Day wish to all of you Fathers out there! Whether you’re a new father or “old” / seasoned father (you get what we’re driving at), Father’s Day is your day, embrace it. Admittedly, most of us tend to ignore the contributions that our fathers have made...
My husband and I were both born in the 90s, he in 1990 and I, in 1994. Although I did spend most of my childhood engaged in multiple co-curricular activities (like the all-rounded Singaporean child that my parents wanted me to be), it was great to still have some time to sit back and enjoy...
These days, 2 June 2020 is the magic phrase for most Singaporeans these days as this is the day that the Singapore government has fixed for the conclusion of the Circuit Breaker period (albeit the relaxation on social interactions being meted out in two phases). Although hair salons have been open since 12 May 2020,...
For those who live in Singapore and are expecting a little bundle of joy, one question that you, your partner and family would have to decide is whether to engage a confinement nanny or not. Although we’ve already taken steps to formalise our engagement of a confinement nanny, given the present COVID-19 climate, we find...
Whether you’ve got children at home or not, one “hobby” that most of us would have started doing during the Circuit Breaker would be home gardening. You’ve got to admit, it’s a great way to keep you (and your child) occupied whenever you feel boredom trickling in. You also give yourself something to look forward...
Photo Credit: Pexels Mother’s Day will be on our doorsteps in just a few hours. But really, what does Mother’s Day mean to you? I thought I’d take the time to pen down some thoughts about this celebratory occasion as a newly-minted expecting mother, and a person who’s never really had the habit of celebrating...
