New launch of FAMISHIELD + FAMIGUT

My kids and I have been taking FAMIBIOTICS premium probiotics supplement for the past year, 

namely their FAMITOT,  FAMIKID and FAMIMOM. 

Immunity is King!

As Covid takes over our lives, it is a harrowing experience for parents with young children. As a mom of 3 boys, aged 5 years, 2 years and 1 month old, their health is of utmost importance to me. 

With Momo and Pian Pian attending childcare which exposed them to higher risks of catching illness such as colds, stomach flu, HFMD, etc; and with Qiu Qiu still developing his immature immune system, I would do anything to strengthen their immunity. Since the gut contains more than 70% of the immune cells in the body, gut health is crucial for developing a strong immune system. That is why I feed them FAMIBIOTICS®, a quadrupled premium pre + probiotics supplement formulated with Lactoferrin and DHA.

Since Qiu Qiu may gain the most from FAMIBIOTICS® during his first 1000 days of life, I am actually grateful that I was introduced to it while I was pregnant with him. The term "first 1,000 days" describes a child's life from the time of conception until they turn two years old (24 months). During this period, their immune system, body, and brain all significantly develop and grow. Each day of this journey is unique and has a lasting impact on how he develops, grows and learns —not just now, but for the rest of his life!

Pregnant during Covid19!

I initially blogged this for another portal, 

but since they decided not to go ahead with the collaboration, 

I thought I would post it on my own blog for memories' sake! :)

--------------------------------------------------

What an unprecedented time that we live in, 

and to be pregnant & to give birth during this period of uncertainty! 

 

 I consider myself lucky that this is my second child - 

my son Momo is now 2.5 years old. 

I can only imagine the nerves if I had to experience my first childbirth during Covid.

 

As a second-time mom, I know exactly what I need for a newborn - 

from bathing and diapering, to feeding and sleeping, to breastfeeding! 

In fact, I breastfed Momo exclusively from birth till about 14 months, 

and weaned him at about 18 months after he took well to formula milk.

Osaka Kyoto Ishikawa trip with the JR West Rail Pass!

Finally took a trip with my family & little Momo - 

we went to Osaka/Kyoto/Ishikawa and a bit of Okayama/Kobe 

with the 7-day Kansai Hokuriku Area pass!

We made the booking at JTB
(You can book at NTA, HIS, and any other travel agency in Singapore)

and upon arrival at Osaka Kansai Airport

we exchanged for our passes right at the
JR Ticketing Office at the Airport Station.

Everyone is familiar with Osaka & Kyoto 

but for the lesser known parts of Japan, 

we had Irene So help to plan and recommend our itinerary.

You can consult her for trip planning, 

as she is an expert in lesser known parts of Japan!

If you find JR West Rail Pass confusing, 

she can also advise you on that.

We checked out Universal Studios on our very first day!

7 Day Margaret River + Perth Itinerary with a 2 year old toddler

I have such fond memories of farm stay in Perth as a child, 

and the perfect weather, fresh produce, farmstays and rolling green grass makes 

Perth + Margaret River such a great vacation for young families!

Momo's favourite song had been Old McDonald Had A Farm for the longest time, 

so besides bringing him to the zoos in Singapore, 

I really looked forward to a legit farm stay in Perth :)

Read on for my full itinerary!

Perth Day 1: Breakfast Cafe Hopping / Fremantle Market

We arrived in Perth at 6am,

so I checked out cafes that opened from 7am onwards.

After picking up our car from Hertz,

(it was super fuss free and simple)

we headed to La Veen Coffee.
