Where do you think this dazzling display of rainbo

Where do you think this dazzling display of rainbow lights is located? Hint: Spot the dome in the back! Rainbow Connection II is made up of 500 suspended solar light modules made from upcycled cookie containers and solar lights! The installation (now on till 29 May) is by local artist Lee Yun Qin and individuals from underserved communities as a collaboration between @nhb_sg x @malayheritage. The display is beautifully lit up at night, scattering prismatic projections all around while gently rotating and swaying in the wind ✨ Click our link in bio for all the details, plus a list of over 20 kid-friendly exhibitions to check out this long weekend!⁠

*TW: Postpartum anxiety*⁠
"I’ve lived with anxious thoughts all my life. But not quite the kind I experienced after the birth of my son, Noah when my anxiety spiralled. I had a smooth and enjoyable pregnancy. At 38 weeks, I delivered a healthy baby boy within 7 hours of admission. Everything was going as planned and I couldn’t wait to finally embark on my journey as a mother. It was perhaps because things had gone so well that I was unprepared for what was to come. During confinement, I had the usual worries about Noah’s milk intake, diaper output, and overall health. While these recurred throughout my day, these worries were manageable. It was not until I found myself bawling in my office toilet when I returned to work that I realised these thoughts were morphing into something more insidious. During this episode, I saw a video of a child drowning in a baby spa because he was left unsupervised and I had thought it was Noah. My hands were shaking, my heart was racing, my chest tightened, and I was gasping for air."⁠

Tomorrow is Mother's Day! And so to all our mama r

Tomorrow is Mother's Day! And so to all our mama readers we wanted to say "You are awesome!"⁠
⁠
Here's to recognising and thanking you for all the amazing things you do - the nights spent looking after newborns or sick kids, the days spent worrying about your little ones (are they eating enough, are they having too much screen-time, are they making good friends, are they sleeping enough - the worries never cease!) We know it's often mothers who bear the biggest mental load when it comes to looking after the household and family. We see you and we know you are doing an amazing job - maybe not always a perfect job, and that's ok - you are doing your best. This mum job is hard work - but we wouldn't change it for the world! ⁠
⁠
We hope you'll be spoiled rotten by your family mama, you deserve it! Here's to YOU! x⁠
Love Team Sassy Mama ⁠
