Auolive – The One Minute Skin Care that Busy Mamas Need

November 8, 2019

I have been trying to get back to my morning routine these days which involves quiet time, a short exercise and preparing healthier breakfast options (as opposed to Teh-C and Tau Sar Bao from my office canteen), before I prepare Laurent for school and myself for work. Time in the mornings just past SO FAST, I realise I need to be really ...

Sleep Training Elise with SG Supernanny

September 1, 2019

As a second-time mom, I had been rather relaxed when it came to preparing for Elise’s arrival. I mostly just chatted with friends who recently had their babies and watched some relevant IG stories that I stumble upon to refresh my parenting “skills and knowledge”. Furthermore, with a pre-schooler around, I simply didn’t have the time to sit ...

Developing Independent Learning Habits with Kuno Method

June 8, 2019

It has been almost 3 months since Laurent started attending classes at Kuno Method and when I share about it on my Instagram, the most common questions I get are, “What is Kuno Method about?” “How does it benefit Laurent?” Briefly put, Kuno Method is a renowned experiential thinking and interactive brain enrichment ...

Losing My Mummy Tummy – Coolsculpting with Halley Medical Aesthetics

May 8, 2019

Mummy Tummy – the endearing name I gave my post pregnancy bump (yup, still looks like a bump to me) after accumulating all the chubs around my waist from the past 3 pregnancies. After my recent pregnancy, my tummy shrank after my postnatal massage, but I wasn’t as diligent with binding and continued to consume lots of calories ...

Dealing with Overstimulated/ Overtired Baby Post-CNY

February 9, 2019

I loved celebrating Chinese New Year (CNY) as a child. But as a parent, especially one with an overactive kid and a baby, CNY preparation and visiting can be rather overwhelming. One of the issues we had to deal with this year was Elise’s naps when we were out for CNY visiting and her being overstimulated and overtired after that. Elise ...

Baby E – The Birth Story

December 9, 2018

Can’t believe it has been almost 2 weeks since Elise’s arrival! I still remember Laurent urging me to go to the hospital 2 weeks ago so that his baby sis can “come out”. And he officially got promoted to become Big Brother the very next day! When I went for my 38 week check up about a month back, Dr Choo told me ...

Pregnancy Symptoms and Pregnancy Essentials

November 22, 2018

I’ve started my leave from work this week so I have some time to tidy up the house, get the laundry and ironing done and do some nesting before Baby E’s arrival. But other than the chores front, I think we are pretty prepared for her arrival with the hospital bag in the car and towel on my seat just in case my waterbag breaks. ...

Name Reveal – Baby Elise

November 7, 2018

A number of you have been asking if we’ve decided what to name our little babe and I believe I’ve answered some of you but also gave ambiguous answers to some because I wanted to share a “name reveal” blog post! If you’ve seen my previous blog post on our maternity shoot, some sharp-eyed friends might have already ...

Maternity Shoot with Josh Khoo Photography

October 20, 2018

We didn’t do a professional maternity shoot when I was pregnant with L and simply did a DIY one at home. I initially didn’t have the intention to do one for this pregnancy as well until Joshua from Josh Khoo Photography asked if we might be keen. We first met Joshua for a shoot that Laurent did for Boys by Mark and L was very ...
