Why are we always in yoga gear? My personal excuse

Why are we always in yoga gear? My personal excuse is that I always have the 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 to do some exercise. Sometimes I win, sometimes the day whizzes by without me having done an up dog or 15-minute jog. But sitting in yoga gear puts me one step closer to my goals. Plus s̶ ̶w̶ ̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶t̶ ̶i̶ ̶n̶ ̶g̶ glowing from this SG humidity while wearing yoga gear seems so much more civilized than glowing in Versace. Not that I own any Versace. But still.⁠

I am so over serving up toast and cereal (even if it is relatively low sugar Weetabix or homemade granola) for weekday breakfasts! Where are the colours? But who has time to cook gourmet brekkies before the school-run/work/coffee kicks in? Here's a little hack - have you tried loaded sweet potatoes for breakfast? Bear with me! You can oven roast them the night before and then serve them with crazy toppings! Wha's not to love?Pictured 1: yoghurt and blueberries, 2: nut butter, bananas and chocolate drops, 3: scrambled egg and tomatoes. ⁠
If your little one turns their nose up at these (which they will of course if you've spent any amount of time cooking them) then you could just pack them for your lunch and have all your work colleagues oooh and ahh over them (via Zoom obvs). Link in bio for plant-based recipes.⁠
What are you cooking for 'Meatless Monday'? ⁠

Here at Sassy Mama we're constantly debating among

Here at Sassy Mama we're constantly debating among ourselves on the safety of social media for young people, particularly kids. The minimum age required to create an Instagram account is 13, but there’s no age verification process and we all know kids tend to get introduced to it much earlier – especially if their friends in school have smartphones and Instagram accounts themselves. Instagram recently introduced a slew of new updates focused on keeping teens safe on the platform (including the new 'pinned comments' feature to encourage positivity and also making it more difficult for adults to find and message teens on IG. More in our link in bio), so we're keeping a close watch on how much safer they really make it for teens on this app. So parents, what say you? Have you allowed your kids to have IG or other social media like Tiktok? If yes, how do you make sure they use it safely?

TGIF! Now let's get planning the weekend! Have you

TGIF! Now let's get planning the weekend! Have you checked out the recently reopened stretch of the Rail Corridor between Hillview and Bukit Timah? The Rail Corridor is a nature trail along the former railway line connecting Singapore and Malaysia and the new extension extends from the newly restored truss bridges at Upper Bukit Timah Road to the one at Bukit Timah Road. This stretch of the Green Corridor can get crowded so go super early while it's not hot! Check out our link in bio for the map to guide you and other fun ideas for the weekend!⁠

Last year it was all about the #DalgonaCoffee. Before that, Matcha Lattes, Nitro Cold Brew and Almond Milk Lattes. But listen up crew, us mamas have been drinking the original iced coffee since the beginning of, well coffee-drinking days. For those who need instructions, please refer to our visual (and feel free to replace no.3 with ‘Spend all morning running after/tending to/refereeing kids). For the rest of you, we see you! #IfYouKnowYouKnow⁠⁠

As Ramadan begins, so does the countdown to Hari R

As Ramadan begins, so does the countdown to Hari Raya, aka Eid! If you're shopping early (best to get it out of the way so you don't scramble at the last minute, mama!) here are some great local brands to shop from for cute baju kurung for kids and matching sets for the whole family 😍 Link in bio for the full article! #hariraya #kidsbajukurung

Bukit Batok Neighbourhood Park Playground has just

Bukit Batok Neighbourhood Park Playground has just opened with a huge swirling see-through tube slide, a rope obstacle course, and more!⁠⁠
There are three areas to play here - the newest playground for big kids with a high climbing structure and a long tube slide (that's not actually metallic - hurrah)! There's also a smaller separate play area for littlies and the original red and blue playground (swipe for pics). ⁠⁠
We loved walking along the elevated boardwalks and getting to the top of Bukit Batok park summit for picturesque views! All the info you need to plan your trip in our link in bio. ⁠⁠
