Why Changi airport in Singapore is best for families

September 10, 2016

Heaven forbid that any of us ever get stuck in an airport when we’re traveling with kids. Do you remember that movie where Tom Hanks go stuck in one? This used to be my biggest nightmare when I traveled with two babies in tow-how would we ever survive? And thankfully it only happened a few […]

Yummy food and gorgeous gardens to walk it off in Singapore (and some of them are free!)

November 6, 2013

When we go to Singapore, a fair amount of time is spent eating. We often search out places for prata and kaya toast. We found a really yummy prata stand in United Square Mall (an interesting kids-mall with lots of things aimed at ‘gifted’ kids) this time. I am also a big fan of the […]

The Singapore Zoo, a breakfast, and a Behind the Scenes Tour

October 15, 2013

I don’t think we’ve ever been to Singapore without going to their Zoo breakfast and we’ve traveled there a bunch of times in the past 10 years. I absolutely LOVE this breakfast. There is an abundance of good food (this is Singapore after all) and it’s a great place to get your feet wet if […]

Singapore Shopping List (planning a family trip to Singapore)

September 21, 2013

If you read my previous post, you know we’re headed to Japan very soon. We’re also heading to Singapore and it’s great that Tokyo is an easy stop over on a 17 hour airplane trip from Seattle. We’re really lucky that the hubby has family there and we’re just going there to hang out with them. So […]

Photo Friday: Jaguars swimming at the Singapore Zoo

January 14, 2012

Jaguars can swim. I never would have believed it if I hadn’t seen it at this zoo. We love the Singapore Zoo by the way. And now we know that jaguars can swim and it seemed like they could even smell raw chicken in water from the shore. Each time they dipped underwater they came […]

Fragile Forest (Singapore Zoo, Singapore)

January 10, 2012

Seeing this little lemur on Trader Joe’s Cinnamon and Black Tea at Christmas made me all nostalgic and dreamy for our recent Singapore trip and I had to buy it. I love Trader Joe’s holiday products-I have so many whim purchases there at this time of year! A couple months ago we traveled to my […]

Kid-Friendly malls in Asia

November 18, 2011

I’ll have to admit, I was a little scared taking two newly toilet trained boys to Asia. Were we going to have to revert back to diapers? Would it be a giant poo disaster everyday? I was so thankful to find that the places we visited in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo were even more […]

Hallowe’en in Singapore

November 6, 2011

We celebrated Hallowe’en on the road this year, but I couldn’t help but bring costumes along. In Singapore, we saw Hallowe’en decorations in the stores, a really gruesome display at Sentosa Island and I was tempted to try exploring when I heard there was some kind of trick or treating around an American school (Thank […]
