Perth, Western Australia Itinerary – March 2014

Posted in Holidays, Perth, Reviews, Travel with Kids by jahbella

We were very excited to finally embark on our longest flight yet (5 hours) with the kids (Jah at 2.5 years old and Bella at 10 months old). We were even more excited that it was a trip to Perth, the place where Joel and I spent most of our long distance dating years aside from his school breaks in Singapore. We were looking forward to revisiting some places (this time with 2 kids!) and to explore new places that we never considered visiting when we were dating. We had a jam packed 10 day holiday with almost a different activity planned for each day and even then we only ‘contained’ ourselves to within a 1 hour driving radius from our accommodation. So whoever said that Perth is boring, will have to talk to me again or well read our upcoming posts because I can tell you that we barely scratched the surface!

Penang with a baby and toddler – Sep 2013

Posted in Holidays, penang, Reviews, Travel with Kids by jahbella

Our first trip overseas with 2 kids was to Penang when Bella was 3 months old and Jah was just shy of 2 years old. Looking back I’m not too sure why we chose Penang except for the fact that maybe I was feeling deprived after confinement and really just wanted to have all the good hawker food I could get my hands on. That being said, the flight to Penang is approximately 2 hours (which is short enough for a first trip), we also stayed at a hotel which I was familiar with from one of my work trips and the hotel location was central enough for us to be self-sufficient over the few days.

Trick Eye Musuem – Sep 2014

Posted in Reviews, Weekend activities with kids by jahbella

We found ourselves at the Trick Eye Musuem on Sunday. Was initially a little skeptical if the kids would enjoy themselves, given that they are so young and Jah prefers selfies (which is not doable at the trick eye Musuem)

To be honest it was a little stressful for me. Trying to usher a kid to the ‘right spot’ and then trying to get Joel’s attention, to come snap a pic (sometimes to find the moment has passed and the kid especially Jah is no longer willing) sigh… I was sweating buckets and was exhausted.

Capella Singapore – Sentosa Staycation (April 2013)

Posted in Reviews, Staycation, Travel with Kids, Weekend activities with kids by jahbella

If you haven’t already figured it out by now, we love travelling! In fact I’m super happy that my kids also seem to have the same wanderlust as us. But yes I recognize that it is not entirely possible to travel every time wanderlust strikes (which can be pretty often for us :p) And that is why I love staycations! Continue reading →

Art Camp @ The Playhouse (Rochester)

Posted in Media Invite, Reviews, Uncategorized, Weekend activities with kids by jahbella

We had previously blogged about an Art Camp which The Playhouse at Rochester was organizing for the September school holidays. In fact 2 readers of our blog also won a 2 day Art Camp package which I hope their little ones enjoyed because I know my little one (Jah) did.

Media Invite
While we were invited to take part in the 2 day Art Camp (Fri & Sat), we only managed to attend the session on the second day. Honestly if Jah was a little older and was on a week long school break, I would definitely have brought him for both days (the activities were pretty fun even for a grown up like me!)
