I get this a lot... “Is this a legitimate business?” “How do I know you are not a scammer?” 🤔 In the past, I would try very hard to prove myself. Explaining things over and over again, hoping they're convinced I'm real. But I came to a point and realised that, maybe I don't hav

Trying to take a “perfect” family photo with young kids… is a mission impossible 😅 You get everyone ready, find a nice spot, hold up the camera… and somehow, one kid is looking away, another is moving, and the moment is gone. But maybe… that is the beauty of it. With the kids having their

Do not just be a stay at home mom! Be a stay at home mom who builds a career from home. I have spoken to so many moms who chose to pause their careers for their young children. Some want to be there before their kids start childcare. Some struggle to juggle work and family during those ear

You have probably seen the palettes trend lately… and honestly, it is quite mind blowing what AI can do for us nowadays. It creates results that used to take hours, sometimes even days… in just minutes. Impressive, right? But at the same time, it also brings a quiet concern. Because if

𝐀 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 Last night, we went out for dinner with the kids. As soon as we sat down, the waitress told us there was an Easter egg colouring competition and asked if my elder girl wanted to join. Without even asking her… I turned down the offer. While waiting for our foo

When was the last time you check in with your parents? I moved to Singapore 15 years ago, and later started my family here. For the past 14 years, I was working full time in corporate. And if I am being honest… I hardly went back to my hometown to visit my parents. During my first 3 years

Another news on retrenchment! For many people, a job feels like security. A stable income. A routine we can depend on. Until one day… it is not. Layoffs do not only happen to “certain industries” or “certain people”. Sometimes it happens quietly, unexpectedly, even to those who thought th

If you are a working mom, this might feel a little too familiar. When your young child falls sick… not just once, not twice, but the third time in a single month, it is really no joke! Frequent urgent leave applications. Work deadline does wait, workload continues to snowball. Late nights s

Have you ever felt this… Even though your salary increases every year, it still somehow feels… not enough? Here is what is quietly happening in the background. 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Not just the obvious ones, but the small things we do not always keep track. Food prices creeping up. Transport ge

Yes… it is that time of the year again. Tax filing season! And a lot of time, I get asked the same question… “Is this actually a legitimate business?” “How do I know this is real?” Honestly, I get it. With so many things happening online these days, it is normal to feel cautious. No on

Taking a leap to start something new is scary. No matter how you look at it… there will always be uncertainty. “What if it does not work?” “What if I fail?” So some people choose to wait. Wait for the right time. Wait to feel more ready. Wait until everything feels certain. The truth

So instead of asking “Where are my results?” Maybe the better question is… “What am I becoming through this journey…” It is pretty normal to want results when we try something new. We all want to know… is this worth it? Is this going to work? But before any result shows up, there is al

Today was a little unexpected. Little sister is still recovering and her MC ends tomorrow… and this morning, elder sister woke up feeling unwell. So yes… both my little bosses are home today, have some joy watching tv together 😅 Not long ago, I was chatting with a friend and I said, “Can

A 9 to 5 can feel stable… until it is not. One change, one decision, one unexpected situation… and everything can shift. And as moms, it is never just about us. It is about the little ones depending on us. The future we are trying to build for them. The moments we do not want to miss.

Lesson learned in this birthday 🎈 This year’s birthday present felt a little different. As my elder girl grows up, her likes and dislikes are becoming clearer. She now openly shares what she wants, without hesitation, without overthinking. Sometimes I look at her and think… wah, that carefre

Have you ever felt like you have been doing the same things over and over again, but the results just… are not there? You keep going, hoping something will change. But deep down, you start questioning yourself… “Should I even continue?” I have been there. But what if that feeling is not

There was this bus service I used for years when I was still working in corporate. After I left, I had never used this service anymore. Recently, I discovered this service actually stops by the Pilates studio I go to. Here I am again, hopping on it, but this time for a different purpose. As

You don't have to let your savings decide the duration of you staying home for your kids! Many moms didn't know they could actually build a side hustle before they quit their jobs for their kids. I started building my business as a side hustle while I was holding a full time job. Ye
