Emma's 3rd birthday celebration @ Cool De Sac Indoor Playground (Suntec City)

Sponsored

Following her celebration at the childcare centre on the eve of her birthday, we had an intimate, fun and effortless celebration with the families at Cool De Sac on her actual birthday. 

Cool De Sac

In case it's the first time you heard of Cool De Sac. It's an indoor playground that is conveniently located at Suntec City. Besides the many educational play stations, it also has a bistro that serves good food and colourful party rooms for celebrations! Two weeks back, we have the privilege to celebrate Emma's 3rd birthday at the Club Flash room and I'm excited to share our experience!

With the Club Flash room so beautifully decorated, all we need to do was to jump right into the celebration. It's definitely the first time when I didn't have to be frantic over setting up the venue and getting things rolling was such a breeze. Though, it took me a few seconds to get over the excitement. 

Celebrating birthday at Childcare Centre with Sensational Cakes + Giveaway!

After a big 1st birthday celebration with family & friends and a birthday trip to Bintan for her 2nd birthday, we decided to keep it simple this year. So, we ended up with no-frill celebrations at school on the eve and Cool de Sac on the actual day!

Unlike the previous 2 years, Emma appreciates birthday celebrations so much more. She looked forward to turning 3 years old and talked about birthday cakes and goodies bags many weeks before her actual birthday. So, we thought it would be nice to (finally) have a celebration at school.

Knowingly how overboard I can be at times, Hubby warned me about keep the celebration at school really simple. He shot down many fun ideas and I'm only allowed to bring in 1 cake and goodies bags. Hence, I thought it be indulging to share my "dream" school celebration here.

IKEA: Organising Toy Storage

IKEA's Democratic Design

This upcoming year, IKEA is all about "Democratic Design" - a philosophy that everyone should be able to own high quality and cutting edge and functional designs at affordable prices. If you look closer at its product, I'm sure it's not hard to identify which dimension(s) have been taken into serious consideration.

For this month, I'm taking up the challenge to discover and highlight the hidden dimension(s) over at Emma's IKEA toys corner! Some products have all 5 dimensions while the others have 2-3 dimensions. In this post, I will highlight just 1 dimension (though it has likely more than 1) for each product that we used!

Studio Memories: Ways to create special family memories + Giveaway

These 3 years of parenthood has been a great joy and an adventure for our family. We laughed hard, played hard and stepped out of our comfort zone. However, it's definitely not one without any tears, fears and struggles.

As a working mother, I'm challenged to juggle family, work and life while trying to lead a faithful life. Over time, I learnt that family time shouldn't be taken for granted. In fact, it takes some intentional effort to create special family memories and strengthen family ties. 

Emma's swimming journey & 8 things I love about Little Swim School

Emmalyn turns 3 years old on a historical and glorious day for Singapore!

On 13 Aug, Joseph Schooling set a new Olympic record, left the world in awe and made Singapore so proud! Along with his gold medal, countless are inspired to achieve bigger dreams in life. Of the many clips and reports swimming around, I particularly love the interview with Joseph's parents. I see the love, support and strength they have showered upon him. It left me pondering about parenting and I pray that the Lord would bless us the wisdom to upbring and help Emma unleash her own potential as well.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Emmalyn!

Dear Emmalyn 

We'd an incredibly fast and eventful year! 

5 More Nutritious and Easy Soups for Toddlers

For many good reasons, we always have soups on our dinner menus!

  

As a soup lover, Emma could easily slurp down a small bowl after her main course. She has always been quite a picky eater and used to take 45 mins to finish up her meals when she went on food strike. So, you can imagine how happy I was when she finished up her first bowl of soup in less than a min.
