Did you know @owndays_sg offers kids’ glasses? The Cinnamoroll x OWNDAYS Collection (featuring the beloved Sanrio character) has just hit stores, with matching moms' and kids' frames available! As with many of OWNDAYS’ glasses, the Cinnamoroll x OWNDAYS frames are lightweight with adjustable nose pads to give a better fit and more comfortable wear for any face shape and size – so key for our kids’ little faces! We love how quickly these can be ready too. OWNDAYS is well known for getting your glasses ready in as quickly as 20mins 😱 Check out the different styles in our link in bio!

Who's ready for a 'sailcation'?! 🙋🏻 Recently

Who's ready for a 'sailcation'?! 🙋🏻 Recently we went on board a 2D1N yacht staycation to Pulau Ubin with @discoversailingasia and had a blast! The boat we were on features three cabins, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a dining/living area. There was plenty of room for our family of four (up to 5 pax from the same household are allowed on the boat) plus a three-member crew. We got to moor at Pulau Ubin, cycle around Chek Jawa Wetlands, try a bunch of water sports on the boat, have a scrumptious BBQ dinner and the kids' favourite part: SLEEP on the boat! It was all in all a fabulous trip for the whole family and we highly recommend it – check out our stories for more sneak peeks! Click our link in bio to read more, plus we've got a promo code for 10% off bookings before 10 December 2021 (applicable for travel till 28 February 2022)! Thank you Discover Sailing Asia for having us!⁠

Sorry kid, if mama's not getting a refund then you gotta at least act like you love it for another month or so 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⁠

If your family loves @changiairport but you haven’t had the chance to travel, how about getting exclusive access to some airport experiences? We checked out the ‘Be a little Airport Manager’ Family Day Camp, where kids will get a behind-the-scenes look at the airport emergency service, nursery tours, and a design workshop (while mums and dads can have afternoon tea at Changi Lounge – inclusive as part of the day’s programme!). Swipe for more photos and click our link in bio for our top 5 highlights!⁠

Can’t wait to watch a live performance on stage

Can’t wait to watch a live performance on stage again? From a Shakespeare extravaganza to some fab local comedy acts, to an audio-guided theatrical street walk experience, and even an interactive theatre show (yes the audience gets to decide the next step!) there’s so much to look forward to!⁠

There’s a new small pop up ‘Skating’ Rink at

There’s a new small pop up ‘Skating’ Rink at the CHIJMES Mini Lawn (open 5-9pm). Minimum age is 10yrs+. Entry is $5 for 30 minutes plus skate rental is $5 per pair (bring socks, or buy them at $2.50). This isn’t real ice skating guys - it’s a plastic floor so even with rollerblading or skating experience it’s pretty difficult to move on this surface. Link in bio for other weekend ideas!⁠

He’s nearly finished his latest street art maste

He’s nearly finished his latest street art masterpiece! Local artist Yip Yew Chong is transforming this wall on Temple Street - it’s taken over three weeks due to bad weather (and his passion for detail - the very thing that makes his art extraordinary). It sounds like Yip Yew Chong will be finishing up tomorrow, so if you want to see him action, this is your chance!
Don’t say we don’t spoil you with the inside info 😉

Have you guys heard of Elf on the Shelf? It’s so

Have you guys heard of Elf on the Shelf? It’s something fun to do every morning in the lead up to Christmas. How it works is this: parents ‘adopt’ a Scout Elf who arrives at your door (we love that there are Elfs of different ethnicities) with a book that you can read to your kids to explain how it works. Elf on the Shelf reports on the family’s behaviour to Santa each night. So instead of mums and dads saying “Santa is watching” you can just point to ole Scout Elf here and give your kids a knowing look. Every morning Scout Elf will be miraculously in a different position around the house (you might need to help him out with this part) for the kiddos to wake up and discover!⁠
⁠
Is this part of your family's Christmas fun or does it sound like just one more crazy thing to navigate?⁠
