My Top 4 Kiddy Products of the Moment (Sep 2014)

Posted in Kids health, Online Shopping, Reviews by

I have found that at different stages of my baby or child’s growing years, I tend to have a favourite or a few favourite products/ items that make both Joel and my life that much easier. Over the years, we have had things like baby carrier (we love/ loved baby wearing), nasal aspirator for clearing little blocked noses, the ‘special’ milk bottles that either child chose to use (yes they rejected all other brands) and the list goes on. (Oh yes if you are interested to know more about any of the above or the brands that worked for us, feel free to shout)

So what are some of our top items of the moment, well here’s the list and why. Continue reading →

Royal Carribean – Legends of the Sea (2012)

Posted in Cruise, Holidays, Reviews, Travel with Kids by

Looking back at the list of holidays we have taken with the kids, it suddenly dawned onto me that as first time parents with Jah, we were really quite afraid of travelling overseas. I say that with such disbelief because we love travelling!!! (ok the holidaying part because Joel will tell you that he hates flying!)

With Jah, we had only been on 1 overseas trip (Phuket) by the time the boy turned 1. Bella on the flip side, has been on 4 overseas trip (Penang, Bali, Perth and Hong Kong) and she is 15 months now.

I think we were so fearful of how Jah would be on the plane (he cried like a maniac on his flights to and from Phuket) that we just convinced ourselves to take the path of least resistance. So while we were really craving for time away from home, we decided to try another mode of transportation, a cruise liner! Continue reading →

Jah’s First Holiday @ 7 months old – Dewa Phuket

Posted in Holidays, Phuket, Reviews, Travel with Kids by

I mentioned in an earlier post that one of the key to selecting a holiday destination for our family is to choose somewhere that we have been to before or are familiar with. Phuket and specifically Dewa Phuket was a destination and resort that we have been to twice prior to Jah’s arrival.

We went there as a couple in 2010 and again for our babymoon in mid 2011. The flight time to Phuket from Singapore was a mere hour and 40 minutes and the resort was located on Nai Yang beach which was about a 5 minutes drive away from Phuket International Airport. While this meant that it was far from the hustle and bustle of Patong Beach, we actually preferred a quiet place for relaxation. Continue reading →

The Playhouse @ Rochester – Review

Posted in Eating Out with Kids, Reviews, Uncategorized, Weekend activities with kids by

Our family pretty much keeps to a standard ‘timetable’ every weekend. This involves tiring out the kids sufficiently in the mornings, returning home for an afternoon nap and then either going to church or spending time with the extended family in the evenings. We also have a ‘menu’ where we pick our morning activities from. Every now and then an event pops up or we hear of a new place/ activity to try out. And every now and then a new place/ activity excites us enough to earn a place on our family ‘menu’.

I have been wanting to try Rochester Cafe and it’s adjoining Playhouse for some time so I was glad to know that it had finally reopened after being closed for renovations. Continue reading →
