Mid-Autumn Festival @ Gardens by the Bay

It has been a long while since the entire family went out for some relaxing family time. Brought the girls out to the FEO Children’s Garden for a fun time. Thank God that the haze situation was much better.

With the invite from Gardens by the Bay, we took a trip to the latest flower display at the Flower Dome. More than 10,000 Chrysanthemums were brought in to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival.

One of the highlights for visiting Gardens by the Bay was to see the hundreds of lanterns that lighted up the Gardens in a really festive mood. As many as 300 lanterns shaped like various animals and plants decorate the Gardens. Cultural performances, Lantern painting competition, food street, for a moment, we were all transported to a Chinese New Year look-a-like setting.

It was a nice touch to have a Food Street for the visitors. We had a great time setting up our picnic mats on the grass and enjoying a cool evening.

[Giveaway] Baby Looney Toons Bedsheets & Cushions

Product Review & Giveaway

“I Tawt I Taw A Puddy Tat”

This line by Tweety Bird is as famous as “I’ll be back” by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the film The Terminator, especially during our days of growing up watching the Looney Toons cartoons. I watched it when I was young (some 30+ years ago) and now my girls watches it too. So cool!

When Sleepwell gave us the chance to do a product review on these over-cute bed sheets and cushions, we jumped on board. Probably also fulfilling my own childhood dream of having something like this through my girls.

In case you were wondering, the Summer Blanket is designed to be suitable for the weather in Singapore. Yes, it looks thick but totally comfortable. Most importantly, the girls love it.
