Of Full Heart and Empty Stomach

July 6, 2015

These few days had been tough. Real tough. Everything was fine over the week and all of a sudden, BAM. I get 7 ulcers in my mouth, a scalded tongue and a sore throat. Ok, I know it’s not really a huge deal but it’s so irritating to be really hungry and unable to get food down because even drinking water hurts! 2 days ...

Father’s Day Staycation at W Sentosa

July 2, 2015

It took me quite a while to plan for Wayne’s first Father’s Day celebration. I wanted to arrange for some activities which Wayne and Laurent could both enjoy but there are not too many exciting choices for a 11 month-old and a 30 year-old to enjoy together! After much contemplation and partly due to a last minute change in schedule for my ...

[Homebound] Organising Laurent’s Baby Room

June 19, 2015

As mentioned in my previous post where I shared our renovation journey, I’m currently working on a series of blogposts to share more about the different spaces in our home and the first space to be featured is Laurent’s room 🙂 About 1 year ago, I blogged about setting up the baby corner just 1 month away from my EDD. At that time, we ...

[Homebound] Behind-the-Scene of Our Renovation Journey

June 15, 2015

It’s been half a year since we shifted into our new place and I’m finally getting down to sharing some behind-the-scene of our renovation journey! I know it seems like it’s way overdue, but I have good reasons for waiting till now before sharing this post. We were blessed with a relatively smooth reno journey so I want to ...

Kiehl’s New Gentle Foaming Hair & Body Wash

June 14, 2015

Laurent has had a few cases of rashes on his face and body so we have always been careful in selecting his body wash and baby cream. When Kiehl’s sent us the “Baby Safe and Mommy Approved” kit to try, I was really glad to read that Kiehl’s baby collection is paraben-free, paediatrician-tested, dermatologist-tested, mommy-approved ...

[Media Invite] Let’s Get Groovy at City Square Mall

June 9, 2015

Last weekend, we were invited to check out the exciting, retro-themed activities that City Square Mall had lined up for the June holidays. As we were turning into the carpark, it suddenly struck me that we have not been to the mall since I’ve given birth! We used to frequent City Square Mall for dinners, movies and Daiso trips as it was ...

Baby-Friendly Healthy Fruity Popsicle

June 5, 2015

Although Singapore’s default weather is warm and humid on most days, there’s no denying that these few weeks have been sweltering! Both Wayne and Laurent are extremely “sensitive” to the heat and sweat very easily so whenever I propose to leave the balcony door open for some fresh air in the evenings instead of having the aircon on, I get 2 ...

The Little Prince Art Collection @ The Fullerton

June 1, 2015

Yes, I have 3 copies of the same book lying at home. We bought our first copy of Le Petit Prince from one of the bouquinistes along the banks of river Seine, while on honeymoon in Paris. A french version, no less. Wayne (accidentally) ordered another copy of the French version of Le Petit Prince in hardcover as a Christmas present for Laurent ...

[Review] Fun@Giggles Indoor Playground & Water Wonderland

May 13, 2015

We’ve always past by indoor playgrounds for children and Laurent would peer though the glass to look at the laughing children running around and look back at me with a bewildered expression like, “hey mom, why aren’t we going INSIDE?” I’ve always thought that he is too young to really enjoy the facilities and activities inside so I ...

My First Mother’s Day

May 10, 2015

My mum has always been telling me, Mother’s Day is nothing special, it’s just like any other day. But this year, being my first Mother’s Day as a mum, it definitely feels special. Yes, even though Laurent is too young to even understand the notion of Mother’s Day, not to mention celebrate for me. I guess it’s more ...
