The Very Hungry Caterpillar Play – Review

Posted in Plays/ Theatre, Reviews, Weekend activities with kids by jahbella

We had accomplished Jah’s first Disney on Ice as well as first movie in the cinema this year and today we made it through Jah’s first play at the theaters with us. While it wasn’t Jah’s first time watching a play because his childcare has brought him on a few occasions, it was his first with us. I always believe that kids behave a little differently in school and sometimes abide by different rules/ standards therefore I consider this experience with him, a milestone.

I have been wanting to bring Jah to a play for sometime but it was always either a timing issue or I wasn’t certain about the content/ story. I was very excited when I heard that The Very Hungry Caterpillar was coming to town since this was a story that he was very familiar with! I mean we memorized the entire book, hows that for familiar.

Jah declaring that he wants to go watch these shows next..my boy the theater buff!

Tips for your child’s first time at the movies

Posted in Movies, Tips with Kids, Uncategorized, Weekend activities with kids by jahbella

Yes we finally took the plunge just before Jah hit the “Big 3” :p and I guess largely owing to the fact that there was a suitable movie for his 1st time at the movies! So if you are wondering when to bring your little one for his/her first movie, I guess there is no right or wrong time (some mummies bring their little bubs in carrier while accompanying their older kid). But if we are talking about having your child enjoy the movie from the start to finish and being able to discuss movie plot with you after haha then I suppose 3 years old is the age for us and here are some tips on how we made it out ‘alive’ and really happy! (Jah told me after his movie that he wants to go watch another movie again soon 🙂 ) Continue reading →

Posted in Reviews, Weekend activities with kids by jahbella

We have been wanting to go for the DC Comics Superheroes Cable Car ride for some time now. Ok I’ll admit, Jah and I have been wanting to go for some time and Joel on the other hand has been hesistant. So given that it was Joel’s birthday, we had to make sure that he felt extra ‘special’ :p

Selfie time!

This was JahBella’s first cable car ride and it helped that it was a Superheroes themed one. Continue reading →

My Bittersweet Moments

Posted in Our Thoughts, Parenting decisions by jahbella

Most of us parents would have experienced or eventually come to experience the bittersweet moments when our little baby (regardless of age) does something or stops doing something, to signify he or she is growing up. We often say or wish in our hearts that they would grow up a little faster so that perhaps we could resume alittle bit of that sleeping in, we so missed or they would become more self sufficient and we could have more time to ourselves. Then we hit those bittersweet moments and we may do a small victory dance for all of 5 seconds and then wish that we could hold this little or not so little being in our arms and that they would never grow up.

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!
