Hey Sharinah

Photo dump of February 📸

1️⃣ Getting a cup from the Milo Van. Somehow Milo here tastes so much nicer than the powdered ones.
2️⃣ My favourite walking area. Sungei Tampines has such a beautiful view.
3️⃣ The place I hang with the boys
4️⃣ Our Sunday breakfast staple.

February - a month filled with food, walks in the park and more food.

How many Norwex products can you find in this image?

Gotta admit it, when I heard of Norwex products I was skeptical, but, now even my 9yr old helps out around the house. Also, their cloths last super long - my twins brought them to school for their FCE lessons this year and its still in a good condition till today.

Keen to know more? Contact .norvvx for your norwex needs.

ps: That hedgehog is sure to get the kids to help around in the house.

School’s out!

The holidays are officially here and that means it’s a month full of play and bumming around.

I haven’t got much planned for the holidays actually, but we’ll probably spend time rediscovering Singapore.

What’s your holiday plans?

Laundry when you have 3 boys at home is breezy with

Right now,I am a fan of Dynamo’s Plant-based laundry detergent in Eau de Rose because… it makes my laundry smells so fresh! They also come in Color care, 3x odor remover and anti-bacterial.

Available islandwide at NTUC FairPrice, Cold Storage and Giant, these come in refill packs as well.

Are you ready to see your little ones soar higher and stronger? Introducing brand new Superkids Strong Bone Builder, support for your children’s bone health!

Let’s face it, I’ve never been a diffuser kind of person.

But with a scent that’s named English Verbena, I had to give it a try - just in time for Hari Raya Haji too!

Grasse Objet Home Diffuser comes in 4 scents:
✨Black Cherry
✨White Musk
✨Berry Blossom
✨English Verbana (that’s my fav one)

Here’s a bonus tip: Order the refills and save! Or you can just reuse the fancy bottles as vases too.

Where to get them? Grasse Objet Home Diffusers are available online at their website (Carstom.com), Lazada and Shopee. Link in my stories!

I have reached the lifespan (and size) of a buffalo.

So with age comes wisdom, I hope. This year, I’ll take things slow. Be kinder and present to my children. Especially since the twins are now young gentlemen.

Be kinder to myself, do nothing and bum around. Perhaps, just perhaps, this year I’ll lose those extra kilograms.

Hello 2023. Please be kind.

Weekday morning bliss now that the boys are in school 🙃

3rd day of school and I am slowly getting my sanity back. Oh, children are such a delight, but I do miss having my time on my own.

Did you notice the glasses there? It’s not a photo prop unfortunately, I DO need reading glasses now. Perks of being…. wiser.

What do you do when the little humans are in school?

Spending weekends with my children is something that I always look forward to.

One of the things I’ve learnt since entering motherhood is to always be prepared. I wouldn’t want to be caught in a situation where I end up being a burden to my children. That’s why I made sure I purchased life and medical insurance plans for my children and myself.

And now for the good news.

This Mother’s Day, join me and share your motherhood reflection with a chance to win S$200 Klook e-gift card or S$50 Takashimaya voucher at FWD Singapore

2022 vs 2021

Nothing much has changed except they’ve grown a little taller, shoe sizes are bigger than me and my hair.. don’t get me started on my curly hair.

Also, we don’t smile in photos. We…. smile on the inside ok.

Anyway, customary “sit on sofa and pose for Raya photo” done.

Selamat Hari Raya!

Do you wash your fruits & vegetables?
We do, especially when we do not know where they’ve been 😱

With Pigeon Singapore Liquid Cleanser we are assured that it’s 100% food grade and kills 99.9% of bacteria. You can also use it to wash baby bottles and accessories. Now, I don’t have babies but I DO use it to wash their toys. Safe and effective, the formula rinses off easily. I’d say that’s a win in my book.

p.s. check out their latest Yuzu fragrance liquid cleanser. Absolutely love the mild fragrance.

Shady business…

Prices of eggs have gone up. Egg shelves in the supermarkets have run dry. He couldn’t enjoy his favourite eggs anymore.

There was only ONE thing left to do. Sell his stuffed toys to the one they called - Little Terror 😧

Survived first week of school!

No this is not an ad for 😂 I’m just amazed that their shoes are still white.

Check back with me again after end of term 1.

Emerging (my son made me give this post a title 😅)

I’ve got to confess, this post was not my idea. Last weekend, we watched Fantastic Beasts for movie night. (And now you can totally guess the scene)

My eldest, suddenly had this idea that we should do a post akin to Newt Scamander and his suitcase. He directed the brothers to pose and I helped with the editing.

Well, what do you think? Should he direct more images for me?

I must say, I’m quite excited to edit more of his ideas.

Loser has to fold the laundry for a week!

McDonald's has a new toy up their sleeves this week - Big Mac and French Fries Jenga Set (with purchase of the Jenga set bundle, exclusively on Mcdelivery)! Just in time for the school holidays.

🍔 Big Mac Jenga set is available from 16th Nov onwards

🍟 Fries Jenga set is available from 23rd Nov onwards

Oh, who am I kidding, I will probably re-fold the laundry anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

Eleven

As different as night and day. After all, one WAS born in the day and the other at night 😂

One is so serious while the other can’t keep a straight face. One is so neat and tidy while the other is perpetually messy.

These 2 are constantly at each other’s throat but at the end of the day, they’ve got each other’s back.

Happy birthday, my babies. You may be teens soon, but you’ll always be MY babies.

Love you both, mummy 😘

Excuse me while I squeeze a little happiness in your feed 🍂

With my handy Selleys RP7 from Selleys Singapore, I don’t have to worry about squeaky scooters anymore!

Kept his scooter for so long till it’s starting to “squeak squeak!” Finally decided to take it out for a ride around the neighbourhood, but first, let’s have a smoother ride with Selleys RP7.

With my trusted Gaston Luga backpack.

Made a quick trip to the library to get books for the boys to last them..... for at least 2 weeks, I hope.

I've been lugging my backpack everywhere like a turtle (albeit, a cute one), and who can blame me. Its got comfy straps, fits my laptop and most importantly - so pretty in pink!

Nice? You can get one too - quote "sharinah15off" at checkout and get 15% off your bag. Hurry though, Gaston Luga has a spring campaign going on (till 28th May) and you get a free tote bag AND 50% off accessories. That's a whole lot of deal!

Okay, go shop now.

I was determined to post today. I had this image in my mind of all us sitting so handsomely on the sofa, just like the thousands of photos you have seen today.

Then I remembered I had totally forgotten to get them a songkok. No matter, photos will still look nice right? Nope.

This is the most decent photo I could get after taking 13257 shots. My head got cropped, the twins are totally in their own world. My youngest got bored of posing for a photo.

It's just me looking at the camera. I should not even be posting this, it's such a terrible photo. But then, it's also the only unedited photo in my Instagram in a long time. So here's one for the memories. One to show their dad that they've not seen for 1.5 years. (I don't know if he still has hair 🤷🏻‍♀️

Despite the challenges, we are still blessed. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all. May we have a better tomorrow.
