Work Pants from Spring Maternity

Featuring work pants that I got from Spring Maternity! Loving how stretchy and comfortable it is over my ginormous bump! I am starting to see why people who aren’t pregnant but still go back to Spring Maternity for their clothes. All the clothes are easily adjustable, and very flexible. You could grow/shrink a few sizes throughout pregnancy and the same thing you buy from Spring Maternity always seems to fit still. Bottom: Straight Andria Pants Navy $69.90, Spring Maternity Shoes: Women’s Crocs Cobbler…

Ju Ann Family Friendly Events in Singapore

Chilling With Nescafe Singapore

It is always appreciated when brands go the extra mile to make their events interesting and packed with content that makes me want to share with my readers immediately. I attended Nestle’s recent launch of their new NESCAFÉ® Ready-To-Drink beverage – NESCAFÉ® Smoovlatté™, a premium bottled caffè latté that is the perfect blend of aromatic coffee and rich smooth milk which leaves a silky smooth feeling in your mouth. It was an engaging 2 hours with coffee and art jamming.…

Celebrating the bump with Cottony Photography

I’m really glad I went with Cottony Photography for my maternity shoot. I was looking forward to doing a maternity shoot regardless of how fat or ugly I may look. I wanted to capture the moment for my child and for ourselves. One is only pregnant for 9 months and it’s a unique phase in my life I want to remember – besides I don’t know if I will ever be pregnant again. One day it will be nice to…

Baby Bump: Week 24 Pregnancy Update

I go to Dr Tham, my gynae, once a month. So from my Week 12, Week 16, Week 21 and now Week 24 pregnancy update, time’s been flying by real quickly. My visit to Dr Tham this week was BAD. He announced that my crazy weight gain within a month is too much (4kg) and that I need to control my diet (because of my condition). I admit, I have been having too much carbs, and enjoying too many scoops…

#LOTD Maternity Wear

Maternity LOTD update! Being pregnant makes me feel super huge all over :( I thought I could go through my entire pregnancy with my normal clothes (since most of my clothes aren’t that tight fitting), and I did go through my entire 1st Trimester without the need for extra clothes but now that I have gotten wayyyy bigger, I had to hunt for good quality maternity wear. Maternity wear that will last me through the rest of my pregnancy as…

Bought our baby cot and I think we're ready!

So anyway the husband and I sat down one day and really gave a hard thought about what our baby really needs. I am a very practical person and I really don’t want to overbuy or buy things that only last a couple of months. Besides the fact that it’s a waste of money, I really wouldn’t know what I can do next with them if I don’t use them anymore! After a long discussion, here are the BIG TICKET…
