H O O R A Y 🎉 Done & dusted with HBL + WFH DAY 1, as part of the #circuitbreaker measures. Was it 👍🏼 or 🤯 for you today? - At 10pm, V declared “IM SO EXCITED! MUMMY IS GONNA BE MY TEACHER!!” I’m not sure if I should be flattered or faint first 🤣 Last week’s trial run with 1 kid was fun; this time with 2 kids, I really should tell L’s sch to save their effort coz V’s SLS was more interesting to him 😅Maybe I should put in more effort to do the stuff his teachers prepared, except tt I can’t follow it from 8-5 🙊 I’m fluidly changing things ard 😝 K, on the other hand, does the fun things like make wanton with them, cooked dinner & took out new toys to play at bedtime 😒 #cheaterbug - While I felt like I was running a tuition class, I want to also take a step back and remember this precious time we have together. Like how K took out that Soju when it’s only the first day 🤣Although there’re many inconveniences with this WFH + almost-homeschooling arrangement, it’s definitely for the best of us & for everyone at large. TBH, relationships may go wry (coz sudden new friction btwn “new colleagues” aka spouses HA!), plus the pressure to report to sch/follow plans to a T & ensuring our kids complete their work.. and the new lifestyle of being indoors most of the time.. 😳 - Frankly, we’re all on the same side of this #covidishorrid battle. It’s a test against TIME between man and 🦠. Since many things are not within control, the least we could do is to appreciate the blessings of getting to spend time learning & growing with our loved ones. Let’s embrace and adapt! 💝Armageddon or not, at least we had this month together as a family, right? 💖Make the best of TIME 🙏🏻 #thingshappenforareason - PS: 3 🆕 things I learned ➡️There are 7 elements of Art #mindblown (swipe to see!), sharpener is 转笔刀 too (I learned its Chinese name last Wed😂), Maths games are 👍🏼 ideas! 😆

⛔️NO ENTRY if your name is Coronavirus! 🤚🏼 - Getting our home ready for this #CircuitBreaker initiative means remembering to keep our home safe for our loved ones 💖Disinfectants and hand sanitizers are my new friends during this #Covid19 season. Here are 2 of my made in 🇦🇺 friends which contain the NEA-acknowledged active ingredient, Benzalkonium Chloride, known to be effective against coronaviruses 👏🏼💪🏼 - Did you know that the COMMONLY FORGOTTEN contact points 🖐🏼🤚🏼include door knobs, mobile phones and laptops? I’ve been using Purify+ Disfectant Spray by @purifyplus.sg on them! Either spray onto a damp cloth to wipe, or, spray directly onto surfaces. There’s neither odour nor residues too 👍🏼 Available at $16.50 (250ml) & $27.50 (500ml)! - When I’m out & about, this handy Purify+ Hand Sanitizer is conveniently swinging on my bag with its thoughtful carabiner. Its gel texture spreads easily, has a light smell which dissipates quickly and is non-sticky. Safe for kids & the elderly too. Available at $5.20 (30ml) & $27.50 (500ml). - 📌Check at the bundle deals at Purify+’s @shopee_sg store, or order from your favourite online stores @amazon.sg, @joopboutique, @werone.shop, @in2kids, @aquabambinos & more to come 💓 Stay home and stay safe, everyone! ❤️🙏🏻

I wanted to post this after last Wed’s HBL... but I guess after that teaser rehearsal, the REAL EXAM is in 2 days’ time! 😜 - Happy to say that our first Homebased Learning (HBL) went positively though! But ask me again next week, ok? 🤣 K also thought a good ☕️ was much-needed to get me thru that day HAHA! With 1 HBL kid, it was a #throwback to the times when I was teaching... those were fun, fulfilling times... maybe coz those kids weren’t mine?? 😝 A month with 2 kids and 1 bigger kid, pretty sure the synergy will be very different 😬 I hope everyone emerges unscathed, ok! 😆🤞🏼 - I’m so grateful to our teachers for preparing these materials - let’s not forget that they’re our frontline too! We just have to wriggle through WFH + HBL next #levelup 🥺 - To everyone, especially parents, may we be bestowed with patience, calmness and clarity to journey this route together 💪🏼 After this period, we will also find out if homeschooling/teaching could be our new careers, or maybe these things are better left to the experts 😬 STAY SAFE AND SANE, EVERYBARDY! 💪🏼 #emergestrongertogether - PS: 3 🆕 things I learned ➡️ Sharpener is 卷笔刀; our $50 note has a painting by local Artist, Cheong Soo Pieng; that painting is named Drying Salted Fish. YES! There are salted 🐟 on those notes - SPOT IT! 😆

In times like these, I wish I could wrap them up with a protective suit to keep them safe 💖 Are your kids still spending time outdoors? - Just as important, what they eat helps build their defence system 🛡... but what if our kids are selective during mealtimes? 🤨 - @usc_strongkids’s StrongImmune Kids was developed by their founder, Mike, who’s a dad of picky eaters. These made-in-USA 🇺🇸 supplements are loaded with nutrients that boost immunity, support a healthy digestive system, AND include key immune allies like iron, zinc oxide and probiotics! 💪🏼🦾 - 🍓🍍🍉🍊🍇 Each chewable tablet packs 12 vitamins, 5 minerals and 3 billion live probiotic cells - comes in tropical fruity flavour too!✌🏼 - 📌StrongImmune Kids are available at all @guardiansg, @unitysg & @watsonssg in 🇸🇬 Or, simply order online at 📲💻🛒 www.hibeau.com/products/us-clinicals-strongimmune-kids from the comfort of your home! 👍🏼

Meet my new acquaintance, the backless chair 😉 - Since the kids had their go with Cosmic Kids Yoga, it’s my turn for self-care, right? HA! 🤪 Tried Chair Yoga 🧘‍♀️ for the first time, and it was a refreshing experience from the usual Yin Yoga or Hatha Yoga. Not that I’m a regular 🤣 I’ve been very inactive and Chair Yoga was a gentle way to wake my sleeping muscles 😆 - So glad to be able to book a class at @artofyogasg, via @classpasssg coz many fitness/wellness places have stopped classes 😔 But my trial pass is expiring, and I wanted to get moving more regularly before this #covid19 made its grand appearance - is this a sign that I shouldn’t have been procrastinating!? 😥 Can’t wait to move our butts together, @celine_tan_! Before my new active apparel really end up as decor in my wardrobe - and my husband’s prophecy comes true 🤣 - 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻🙋🏻‍♂️Who else is trying to keep fit during this season? 💪🏼 Please stay safe and healthy, everyone!! 🙏🏻

Spending SaturYAY indoors attempting yoga 🧘‍♀️ with the kids... I WAS best dressed 😌 BUT didn’t get thru the videos coz I was so amused by V and L’s responsiveness 👏🏼 - Thanks to my bestie, @dreakangruszka, who has been using Cosmic Kids Yoga with her kids, we tried it today and L loved the space 🚀 yoga! #butofcourse They went on to try Frozen and Trolls yoga partially too 😆 Check out my #IGstories! Have also pinned some stay home activities in HIGHLIGHTS for anyone who needs some easy, fuss-free mama ideas 💡💖🙏🏻 - But I’d say, brilliant work, babies! In fact, brilliant stuff, @cosmickidsyoga, for infusing storytelling, visuals & clear explanation on the yoga stances that speaks to the children! Try it with your kids at home & get those muscles moving! Helps with expending energy & good to slot in your day before homework time 😝 It’s great for auditory and visual learners too! 👍🏼 - Just don’t bother about daddy 🙄 He namaste-ed to the sofa.
