Hop and Honk – The Ugly Duckling and the Frog Prince

Hop and Honk, a musical weaving two familiar tales – the Ugly Duckling and the Frog Prince will be on at the Drama Centre Theatre, National Libray from 29 Oct to 15 Nov 2014.

I Theatre has cleverly intertwine two classic fairy tales and combined it with top class performers, toe-tapping music, spectacular sets, glittering costumes, magical lighting and jaw-dropping puppetry to bring us a highly entertaining musical

I’m excited to see how they have merged the 2 stories to teach key values including racial harmony, tolerance and understanding, as well as self-worth and self-esteem, team work and creative thinking.

If you are looking for some entertainment for the kids, Hop and Honk might just be the thing!
Recommended for 4 years old to 18 years old and families.

Tickets are available through Sistic at $32 (Cat 1), $30 (Cat 2). The show duration is 85 minutes + a 15 minute interval.

Penguin Island – Perth (March 2014)

Posted in Holidays, Perth, Travel with Kids by jahbella

This was one of our favourite days of the trip! Jah was so amazed by his time at what he calls “Happy Feet” Island that he talked non-stop about it in the coming days and even when we were back in Singapore.

Penguin Island is just a 5 minutes ferry ride from the ‘mainland’. Tickets can be purchased at Rockingham Wild Encouters and you could spend your time at their adjoining Pengos café while waiting for your ferry which departs hourly. Tip – You could also takeaway some fries and snacks from the café to occupy the kids on the ferry or to eat on the island. Do note that there are no F&B outlets/ kiosks on the island. Jah was very excited that he was going to get to ride a boat to visit Happy Feet at his house. :p

Posted in Weekend activities with kids by jahbella

Going for bike rides used to be Joel and Jah’s thing to do on Sunday morning..the boys morning out. It used to be especially helpful when I was pregnant with Bella and needed a slow start to the morning. We fitted Joel’s bicycle with a Yepp Mini, essentially a child bike seat which would carry up to 15 kg. It was a really cool child bike seat for 9 months to about 3 years old which was shock resistant and made of a water resistant material similar to Crocs shoes.

Our Potty Training Equipments

Posted in Tips with Kids by jahbella

Most parents who are going through or have gone through potty training their child, would probably tell you that they ended up with more ‘equipment’ than what was actually needed. We were the same! We pondered over different fancy potties hoping to make the potty training process as simple, painless and fast as possible. To be honest we threw out a couple of potties/ ‘contraptions’ that didn’t quite work for us or perhaps we were too eager and Jah just wasn’t ready. Continue reading →
