The husband & I are not fans of crowded places. Hence he took me by surprise when he said "let's go!" after I casually mentioned that Marine Cove, aka the "old" McDonalds at East Coast Park, just re-opened this week, with a mega huge playground to boot and that we should probably stay away especially on the first weekend of opening - much like the recently launched McDonalds' Salted Egg Yolk ...

Liam’s 4th Birthday: A Trains, Ice Cream and Games Party!
When I first told the husband a month ago that I was going to keep Liam's 4th Birthday celebration a small and cozy affair, he laughed in disbelief. I was annoyed by his cynical laughter, but I could understand why. After all, when I told him that I was going to keep it small for Liam's 3rd Birthday party - we ended up having about 50 kids (although it was already scaled down by 30% as compared ... Read More
[WEEKEND 2015 #29] We loved Punggol Waterway so much, we went there twice over one weekend

I never thought I'd treasure long weekends that much sooner than anticipated (since that means no school for the older son) ever since making the switch from PTWM to a SAHM 3 months ago. Till I got offered to do freelance work at one of my favourite companies this week. Suddenly my days of not being able to properly account for how I spend the day-that-flew-by-so-quickly to anyone that asks turned ... Read More
[Weekend 2015 #22 Part 1] Sembawang Park
![[Weekend 2015 #22 Part 1] Sembawang Park](http://so.natty.sg/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Sembawang-Park-4.jpg)
Sembawang Park and Beach has been one of my to-visit outdoor grounds ever since I heard about it from an ex-colleague late last year. So when Liam asked if we could go to the park over the long weekend to do some skate scooting, I decided to take the opportunity to explore. While it's quite a drive from the main road, it is relatively easy to navigate to using the road signs from Sembawang ... Read More
[Weekend 2015 #20] My most interesting visit to Universal Studios Singapore yet
![[Weekend 2015 #20] My most interesting visit to Universal Studios Singapore yet](http://so.natty.sg/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/universal-studio-singapore-puss-in-boot-ride.jpg)
Our 10th visit to Universal Studios Singapore (USS) last weekend was quite the visit. Just when we thought we couldn't be surprised by anything new having make 9 visits over the last 5 months, this visit proved to be an experience of firsts. We were invited by our good friends to join them for a day of fun since our kids play well together like their parents, and we quite enjoyed our last ... Read More

Both the Bo & Liam are huge outdoor lovers. Which also explains why I visit the malls and do most of my shopping on weekdays. So whenever it comes to deciding where to go on a weekend or public holiday, unless it's Mother's Day or my birthday, more often than not you'll find us basking under the sun. This week, because we had a one-yr-old birthday party to attend at Aranda Country Club, we ... Read More
Weekend 2015 #10 – A Birthday Party at Fidgets & West Coast Park Playground
We started the weekend by celebrating my nephew's 5th birthday at Fidgets. Liam had so much fun that the moment he woke up from his nap, he ran amok the entire Fidgets playground, testing the Bo's flexibility through the various structure by asking his papa to follow him. Thankfully I was baby wearing Ollie, so my back was spared :) I've been wanting to check out how parties run at Fidgets, since ... Read More
What our Saturday was made of
The initial intention I had for the first half of today was to work. Not by choice but out of obligation & responsibility which didn't matter anyway because it didn't happen. I didn't have the heart to reject my chirpy 2.y.o greeting me "good morning mummy!", followed by a kiss planted on my cheeks and then asking if I could take him on a train ride and to ... Read More
Play, baby, play
I have an incessant habit of looking at my week's worth of camera roll on an almost daily basis. I know most parents probably do - since we can't get enough of our too-cute juniors' faces, so let's not judge. In the last week I've been crazy, and I mean crazy that almost every dinner this week I've been showing the same few photos to the Bo and telling him "how cuteeeee" our little guy looks ...
