Since we moved into our new place, we’ve been in the hospital twice as Ruth was admitted for various facial and head injuries, but that’s a story for another day. This is not a piece that we’d have hoped to write but thought that it may be useful for some of you who want to...
Happy birthday, Ruth. Happy first birthday, Ruth. People have always said that time will fly by quickly when you raise a child. But I couldn’t comprehend the full meaning of that saying until this month when I realized that you were already going to turn one. And truth be told, it was so difficult to...
The point of having a well-stocked baby bag is so that you don’t get caught off guard when you’re out in public. That you’d have enough to fight any wars with your baby’s poop, and to keep your baby happy if you’re running errands or grabbing a quick meal. At 9 months of age, here...
Given that I’d be returning to the workforce after maternity leave, one of the items that we had on our post-delivery checklist was to secure a domestic helper to assist us with looking after Ruth whilst we’re busy at work during the day.

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...
Most of you would have heard the news by now. Phase two of the circuit breaker is coming into effect tomorrow, Friday, 19 June 2020 at midnight, a much-anticipated announcement to the delight of all. To all the discerning folks out there, let us all perhaps celebrate both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day together, in...
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...
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?
