Redemption of tix from 12.45pm before the show. 🍀 GOOD LUCK! #THPperks . Rating: PG - Some Intense Sequences. Copyright: © 2019 Paramount Players, a Division of Paramount Pictures. All Rights Reserved. 😍“Mummy, can you read these to me??” I’m heartened that L loves to be read to, and is starting to recognise/guess words. Picking age-appropriate books with teachable content makes a difference! • Sharing our #bookreview for 2 titles from the Clifford the big red dog series - who else is a fan? #childhood 😆 They aim to teach young kids about values. Such a BIG word, but did you know that they can be learned thru stories? . BOOK 1️⃣ <<Clifford’s Birthday Party>> . 📘This story is about Clifford receiving all kinds of surprising items as birthday gifts. It gives kids a new perspective that what we want may not be what we actually receive. Yet, we should learn to appreciate that it’s the thoughts that count. . 📘Everything went wrong with those gifts - broken items, a top that’s too tiny.. plot twist, indeed! V and L were surprised and that gave us an opp to discuss further. . 📘The best gift was the REAL surprise - his family - who turned up at the end of the story, adding a warm-hearted touch to remember that our family is the most important gift, yet often forgotten. • BOOK 2️⃣ <<Clifford’s Manners>> . 📕This book shares bite-sized info on why Clifford is well-loved - because he has good manners! 😆 With easy-to-understand short examples coupled with full illustrations, and notes highlighted on the side of each page, V and L got the messages instantly. . 📕The examples are relatable to the kids in their daily lives. Ideas like minding their P’s & Q’s, cleaning up, calling ahead before visiting someone (especially useful so we can explain why we can’t just spring a surprise on my parents 😂), be on time, chew with a closed mouth & more. . 📕Parents can also start convos by asking what’s right and what’s wrong, to trigger kids thinking about Clifford’s actions, their own experiences and future actions. . I’d say both of them enjoyed these short stories 😁 Vera can read both books on her own & to her bro ✌🏼 Perks of having an older sibling #outsourceparenting 🤣 • 📚🛒Both books are published by @scholastic.asia and available in 🇸🇬 Save 20% off when you use HOOT20 at www.readershouse.com.sg 📌 #dontsaybojio We scored a turkey with a 3-week pool fun! Who knew that could actually happen?! 🤣 We definitely could do with more exercise and outdoor time, cos if we ever embark on the #1000hoursoutside challenge, we might fail quite miserably by taking more than a year which it’s intended for 🙊 • Last weekend’s pool fun was at the Airbnb in #Malacca. It was super crowded although the water was cold with breezy winds. But V and L were so game to check out the fun, and were upset when when we wanted to shorten our playtime. • Today, at our public pool in 🇸🇬, both overcame their fear & went several times on the slides! K and I were so, so proud & happy to see that they did it - in their own time & together. 🌟🌟The underlying truth to parenting is: every child WILL BE ready in their own time. To let our kids discover self-confidence, parents need to observe & listen to their children, don’t you think? And, before we knew it, they gave us a good workout while learning a little more about them & ourselves 💖💖 🌈🛸GIVEAWAY🛸🌈 • 2 families stand to win CATEGORY 1 tix for 4pax (worth $248/set) to catch The Way Back Home by bestselling author Oliver Jeffers on 27 Sept (Fri), 5pm! 1 winner will be picked from IG and www.facebook.com/thehootingpost each. • Together with @divaproductions, here's your chance to enjoy this child-friendly performance about friendship & caring for others. This space theme fuels fun and imagination, so come join in the fun!

Now, we can enjoy a delicious cup of fresh milk with an added boost of iron, thanks to the NEW @fnnmagnolia Fresh Milk with Kurma Real Dates! With just 2 ingredients -100% full cream fresh milk ➕ dates with no added sugar and no additives - we can have calcium and iron with each mouthful. This flavour comes with a hint of sweetness, and both Vera and Leroy enjoy it neat or with cereals. Someone even said it tastes like chocolate 😆 • Did you know that low iron levels in our body lead to fatigue and poor concentration? 😐 Leroy and I have bouts of low iron levels, and I know that as a breastfeeding mum, iron-rich food is essential. So if you’re pregnant 🤰🏻, breastfeeding 🤱🏻, or simply wish to amp up nutrients in your diet, slurp up some creamy goodness to get them in a jiffy! Cheers!🥛 🥛 • Get your packs of Magnolia Fresh Milk with Kurma Real Dates from supermarkets and hyper marts in Singapore at $3.95 for a 1-litre pack. #magnoliasg “Mummy, let’s buy all the food in the supermarket!” 😝 The weekly grocery shopping is an exciting adventure for the kids! • Recently, I learned that we could actually earn 5% cash rebate on dining, groceries, and fuel with the HSBC Visa Platinum Credit Card! 😍 Who doesn’t love getting EXTRA cash rebates after spending? It’s like getting a discount and stretching that dollar further on other family purchases 🤩 Here’s to more fun, family time at the supermarket and happier pockets for daddy and mummy 😆 • Wherever you go, whatever you do, there’s an HSBC Credit Card for you.
