Zara Sofia's First Birthday Party!

MY BABY GIRL IS ONE !!!!!

It really feels like just yesterday that I gave birth to you. (labour story blogged here!) Now you're this precious cutesy girl who understands the world around you a lot better as days go by which makes my world a whole lot better than ever before!

You know, before I was a mom, it baffles me seeing some parents going crazy over their kids' first birthday celebration. Some I know even spend extravagantly for a party their kids won't even remember.

When I became a mother. I started thinking about my firstborn's birthday party way before she was even born :p Who am I kidding.  Mom guilt is real and I don't wish to be haunted for eternity for not having a birthday celebration for my firstborn's first birthday. So yup, I ate my own words big time lol

Anyhoots, after much thoughts, Danna and I agreed on a simple shindig with little decoration, at the comfort of our home. I just rented a few items from Carousell to make the dessert table a lil #instagramworthy  & sent out less than 30 invites for our family and very close friends only!

Selamat Hari Lahir Zara Sofia!

Selamat hari lahir yang pertama puteriku. 
Terima kasih kerana telah menjadi pelengkap dan penyeri hidup Mama & Ayah. Terima kasih juga kerana telah mengajar kami erti kesabaran yang luar biasa dan kasih sayang yang tiada batasnya.♥

Mini's Play: Aquarius Cove

Ever since my first (and huru hara) play date with Liza and her cutie Alisha some months back, I've been looking forward for Mini to start walking so that we can enjoy playing out together. After seeing how much she (and her mama lol) enjoyed the indoor playground at Changi Airport (blogged here)  and espesh now that she's running all around the place, it's time to plan another play date!

This time round we decided on........

29 Carpenter Street, Level 5, Singapore 059923

https://www.aquariuscove.com/

I love how super convenient this place is! It's directly opposite Clarke Quay MRT Exit E & Clarke Quay Central. Yoga Movement, where I used to do religiously practise my yoga during my before-Mini-exists-days, is just opposite. That reminds me that I need to get back to the mat reallllly soon.

Anyhoots once you locate the building, you got to enter a restaurant (can't remember the name!) to get to the lift. Once you've reached level five, you will see this.

The entrance fee...

Yup free play for Mini! We went on a Sunday so it was two hours of play time for us.

The place is divided into two parts...

The ocean-themed play area...

.. and the party area.

If you're planning to come here do be sure to check their website in advance to see if there's any party on that day cos if there is one, the playground will be closed

Of cos it didn't take Mini long to get herself comfortable.
