Wash those hands! ✋🏼✋🏾🌶️⁠👀 Your best line of defence against the coronavirus and germs in general is to wash your hands with soap and water, rubbing for 20 seconds (that’s two renditions of Happy Birthday for kids to remember). ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #sassymamasg #sosassy #momlife #momquotes #motherhood #mommylife #parenthood #momsofinstagram #momlifeisbestlife #mommyhood #coronavirus #covid19 #washyourhands⁠ ⁠ ⁠

WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. We are in unpreceden

WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. We are in unprecedented times with this #coronavirus stuff; from school closures, to grocery panic-buying, to travel lockdowns, it’s sometimes (often?) felt like we’re living in a movie (next selection in the queue, please!). As parents in particular, we are navigating unfamiliar territory – How do you balance working from home with distance learning? How do you explain social distancing and handwashing to a toddler? How would your family cope with quarantine? At Sassy Mama we don’t pretend to have all the answers, but we want to do WHATEVER WE CAN to make you feel positive, entertained, and supported while you spend time at home with your family. From doctor FAQs, to fun at-home craft activities and science experiments, to free online learning resources, to the best @netflixsg shows for a comfort binge, we’ve got you, mama (link in bio). But do let us know if there’s something else you’d like to see, and we’ll do our best to make it happen! Team Sassy Mama hails from all over the world, and while many of us have watched in horror as this pandemic spreads to our native countries, we’ve felt all the more grateful, and #blessed, and proud to call Singapore our home. A massive thank you to @gov.sg and ALL the frontline workers across industries who are fighting so hard to keep us safe. #SGUnited #TogetherWeCanOvercome⁠ ⁠ - @katemacmac, Senior Editor

"Life before the kids can be described as two dimensional — professional work during the week and a personal life over weekends. Life after kids turns out to be multi-dimensional — it’s like 3D or a 4D experience of life."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀ This month’s That Mama is Soumee De Girotra! She is a mama of two and balances a career in corporate HR with a passion for ancient Indian Odissi Dance performance (she formed @ethosodissi).

"Motherhood is uniquely, emotionally intense — b

"Motherhood is uniquely, emotionally intense — being a mum is the best thing ever, but the highs and lows are extreme. Yes, there are some blissed-out-so-in-love-with-my-baby moments, followed by others, but caring for a newborn is also an all-consuming rollercoaster ride. The rocky parts will make you question your capacity – not to mention your sanity – but the beauty and wonder and breathtaking views from the peaks are unbeatable and ultimately outweigh the challenge.
