I don’t believe it. One month into installing the new Hifold booster seat in our family car, my kids are still ‘fighting’ over who gets to sit on it. This is Hifold: the world's most adjustable grab-and-go high back booster. Intrigued, I asked the elder daughter (who's turning 12) why she wants to 'fight' with her younger brother for the Hifold booster. Here's what she said: I can rest better: With 200-over adjustable points, the Hifold can be adjusted to the growing … [Read more...]

{Giveaway} Nanyang Optical – Eyelet Junior For Kids
Singapore has one of the highest childhood myopia rates in the world.

Shopping for Kids’ Bunk Bed at Star Living
For most Singaporeans, we live in apartments where space is a premium. During our recent move, we decided to get the kids a bunk bed to save space. Yes, although the new home is slightly bigger, the kids are also growing bigger and all needed more living space. Our 9 year-old needs more space for her books, her study desk and even a place for her to read and wind down, while our 3 year-old has taken a strong liking to vehicular toys (read big chunky toys) as well as irregular shaped board books. … [Read more...]
When ‘Dirt’ is Good – The Benefits of Outdoor Play

This product can possibly save your children’s lives. Cars, Commuting and Taking Chances: Whether you own a car or not, chances are that your children will be commuting in a vehicle from time to time.

Fact is, even if we … [Read more...]

Black Friday Shopping with MyUS
I'm sure many Mommies would agree with me that one of the greatest perks of the evolution of the Internet is online shopping.

I've also bought adult Winter Jackets from Timberland few years … [Read more...]
