Have you ever been to the @singaporediscoverycentr

Have you ever been to the @singaporediscoverycentre? This spot is where to head to discover more of Singapore’s past and present. This weekend (18,19 & 21 September) there will be plenty of Mid-Autumn Festival activities, from lantern walks, to storytelling, activity trails and making paper bunny lanterns. While you're there, take the kids around the Permanent Exhibit Gallery or even do a mini eco-farm tour where you can see the solar panels up close and plant your own seeds! Check out all the Mid-Autumn festival fun (most of which is free after entry!) in our link in bio!⁠

"I’d been married for a decade before, so dating

"I’d been married for a decade before, so dating was not a scene I ever expected to find myself on. I was single for about six months before I decided to give dating a chance. I started, like many others, on Tinder – that was the only one I’d heard of, but I quickly realised that it was more suited to those looking for short flings.⁠ I then tried other dating apps like Bumble and Hinge, with some success. That said, I thought being a single mum wouldn’t impact my dating life much, and I was offended that some people saw it as a deterrent. Often I opted to omit the fact that I'm a mother of one until after a first date, but I soon realised that wasn’t the right approach for me. Dating someone with a child *is* different, particularly if you don't have one. It changes the trajectory of how a relationship can develop, restricts the amount of free time available to date and there's a whole other dynamic to consider. So now I'm much more honest with myself and with other people about it."
-Anna, Brit mama in Singapore.⁠
These days, one of the easiest way to meet someone new is through online dating apps. It seems simple enough. But online dating can be an extremely daunting experience; perhaps doubly so if you're dating as a newly single parent!

Have you heard? The new baby panda at River Safari

Have you heard? The new baby panda at River Safari is a BOY! 🐼 According to @wrs.ig, the gender of the panda cub was determined through visual assessments by the panda care team. It will still be a while before mama and baby panda join the River Safari panda exhibit, but in the meantime you can still spot daddy panda Kai Kai rolling around and chomping on bamboo the next time you visit! Click our link in bio for our kid-friendly guide to the River Safari (you can tackle it in half a day!), plus info on tickets, boat rides, restaurants, nursing room availability and more. Ps. swipe to see the cutest baby panda video!⁠

You’ve had a long day, your child is face-down o

You’ve had a long day, your child is face-down on the playmat screaming his head off for the third time today but is showing no signs of stopping. Every fibre of your being knows this might be a futile question but you have to ask anyway, “Why are you crying?!” Here's a tip: DON'T ask that question, and don't say "It's okay" to calm the situation either! Ever realised it usually leads to more screaming? There's a reason for that! Swipe to find out why and how to handle your toddler's tantrums instead, and click our link in bio for the full list of top tips!⁠

Isn’t Chinatown looking stunning? Exploring this

Isn’t Chinatown looking stunning? Exploring this neighbourhood makes for a fun trip with the kids. We love heading to Chinatown around Mid-Autumn festival to see the Chinatown street light-up of sculptured lanterns in fun designs. This year there will be 900 lantern pieces depicting the jade rabbit, mooncakes, pomelos, and the full moon along the stretch of road between Eu Tong Sen Street and New Bridge Road, while South Bridge Road will be decorated with snow skin mooncakes. Look out for the towering 12-metre-tall Chang-E (Chinese goddess of the Moon) centrepiece located opposite Chinatown Point. While you are there, pick up some knick-knacks for the kids, explore the upstairs of one of our fave temples, Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, shop for Chinese tea sets and kitchenware on Temple Street, and then have a huge dim sum meal.

A staycation at Singapore’s iconic @marinabaysan

A staycation at Singapore’s iconic @marinabaysands is on many people’s wish list, but what’s the MBS hotel really like with kids? Our verdict: surprisingly kid-friendly! It's hard to beat the infinity pool, myriad of F&B options (swipe for a glimpse of @blacktapsg's Cotton Candy crazy shake) and fun attractions like the interactive exhibits at @artsciencemuseumsg.

"I lost Evan, my firstborn when he was 11 years of

"I lost Evan, my firstborn when he was 11 years of age."⁠
⁠
*𝘛𝘞: 𝘴𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦*⁠
⁠
"He was born way earlier than he should have, and he left this world way earlier than we all wanted him to. ⁠
Never would I have imagined that a boy as young as he was would suffer from depression, though I have seen the face of this evil in many of my family members. It was simply inconceivable that a young child could feel so much pain, especially when we were a close family. He shared his depression with me. His emptiness. He shared his loneliness at school because he was a lot more mature than his peers and couldn’t fit in to any cliques. Sadly, at the time, I was clueless as to how I could help him. ⁠
Looking back, if I had another chance to start over, what would I have done differently?"⁠
⁠
Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Doreen Kho speaks out about her son’s depression that led to his suicide. She now heads the PleaseStay.Movement, which advocates support for youths at risk and suicide prevention. Read her full story in our link in bio.⁠
