It’s tough raising children, and most parents agree that achieving a balanced life can be challenging too.
As individuals, we wear many hats juggling work, family, social life in hope to bring the best to our children.
In a bid to (hopefully) strike a better balance in their lives, these parents have taken a bold step forward towards entrepreneurship.
As with any business, it’s never a bed of roses. Being parents, these daddies and mummies often have to sneak in time after their young ones are asleep, or wake at ungodly hours to dedicate effort towards their business.
After all, during the day, our kids need us and truth be told, it’s an emotional dilemma to struggle between playing with your kids while trying to get work done at the same time – it’s just chaotic and does neither party any good.
This month’s interview feature takes a different approach. We are happy to put the spotlight on a group of parents, who are bloggers too!
We’ve got a list of parent-preneurs (yes, both mumpreneurs and dadpreneurs!) in this article.
Whether they are Stay-at-Home-Mums (SAHMs) or Full-time Working Mums (FTWMs), it’s never easy with kids stuck to you 24/7. And, before you think some of these mums are shaking their legs or sleeping whenever their children do (children and naps don’t share a super love relationship #trueexperience), they are in fact giving up on any little ‘me time’ left to work on their own business.
So, do send your support to these parent-owned business in Singapore. Because in doing so, you will also be sending love to the young ones in their humble families <3

ESOD
After suffering from skin problems for several years, Estella stumbled upon mineral make-up and went on to learn, experiment and benefit from them. Estella eventually set up ESOD (which stands for Extra Simple Ordinary Day – to represent how make-up should be simple and useful for everyday use) to share Hues Mineral Make Up with everyone.
Hues Mineral Make up are handcrafted in Singapore and special effort is made to keep the number of ingredients to the bare minimum because make-up should be useful yet simple. Star products include Glow, a mineral highlight that helps achieve radiance from different angles and Blushes like Rose, a dusty purple hue to bring out a natural flush.

As if raising kids wasn’t hard enough! Great work mummies. As a business owner myself, I wonder how mummies survive… and yet they do. And they do well. Impressive.
Hehe thanks for featuring our swim school in your post too!! Many lovesssss. I want to go take a look all the mumpreneurs’ businesses and see which ones I can lend my support to too.
