The first question I usually get is .. "Erm whats a trunk show?' So basically a trunk show is an event in which the retailer present merchandise directly to customers at a retail location or another venue. In many cases it allows customers to preview/ or purchase merchandise before it is made available to the public. Before Jujube trunk shows were available locally, it was only available in the US while the rest of the world could only wait with bated breath to see the items in real life when it reach us at home after 'scoring' it online aka 'blind buy'. With trunk shows, we can finally look, feel and choose our PPP - Perfect Print Placement items! (And thus, causing us to usually buy more in the process... 😜)

Jujube Tokidoki x Sanrio Rainbow Dreams Trunkshow at BabyPad

Like most Jujube launches .. I have a shopping list that I would usually divide into two parts : Must-buy and Maybe-buy lolol. I was so glad to be heading to BabyPad coz I know I'll be seeing friends there! Time to discuss print placements! 😆

The first thing I saw was these really cute cupcakes but I was too excited to go shopping I promptly forgot to eat them :(

So cute! I should have taken the Hello Kitty one haha

Thoughtful setup by Ita - #Ladyboss! Elroy was napping, else he would have taken all the cupcakes... he really love cakes lol. The trunk show was held in a central location, and according to rules, shopping will start at 4pm due to daylight savings in the US, as compared to 3pm previously. 

Custom maker Mini-licious was on-site to provide advice on customizing your very own Jujube bag!

Pricelist and rainbow straps as with the theme of the collection

The cosy sitting area, with lucky trunk pass winners ( yes, not all trunk shows are opened to public, so you really have to check the details of each retailer as some might operate differently)

Warm welcome from Ita before we commerce shopping!

Lets go!!

Each shopper gets to spend around 5-10 mins to pick what they want before proceeding to pay before the next group of shoppers will be allowed to go in. This system is super efficient and very orderly!

No rush no fuss

Ita busy at the cashier!

Jamie won this super cute EZ-link card from the lucky draw!

So happy shopping with girlfriends!

I didnt get a pic with Lainey who was helping out at the trunk show that day but it was fun short meetup even though I forgot to bring my handphone gua gua ~ and had to borrow one just to go on Instagram live haha! #Paisehtotrouble #HengIgotfriendsthere 

My hauls!

This print is SUPER growing on me!

My lovely Fuel Cell! Fuel Cells are really just great for everything, not only can you pack food in it, I personally love packing Elroy toy cars in the FC because he has so many! And now there's a Jujube trend going on.. the bucket bag! Very cute custom made bag .. very tempting to make one too!

Thanks Ita and BabyPad for the lovely trunk show! 💓

Its no secret that we have always wanted another baby girl but Im so, so grateful to have not one, but  two lovely boys to call my own! 😍 Growing up as the only child, all I've ever wished is to have a sibling so we can share secrets, dreams and laughter. Its funny how fate works coz my husband himself is an only child which means our kids have no cousins! Hence if I can .. I want a big family so they can all play together 💗

My Boys

Now Elric is 2 months old and counting .. and I love seeing his expressions! He's learning to coo and laugh, and even frown at his brother.

Elric has more hair as compared to Elroy and he's quite a feisty little fellow! He loves to sleep on me in the daytime, but when he's awake - he likes to lie on the playpen and coo to everyone. Sometimes we shake a rattle and he will try to 'talk' to it! 

Elroy is adapting really well to his big brother role and I love how he includes didi even in his imaginative role plays. He'll tell us how he will drive a car for example, and didi will sit behind. Or he'll be a conductor for train (our sofa lol) and he will assign a seat and ticket to Mama and didi. 

The sweetest thing he said was "Didi faster grow up and play with me!" 😊 My heart.. my heart has never felt so full. Will never change this for the world. Love my boys so much xo

"All those cliches, those things you hear about having a baby and motherhood - all of them are true. And all of them are the most beautiful things you will ever experience."

On weekends we love heading out as a family, exploring brunch places that are kid-friendly. I relish the time we spend together, eating and generally relaxing with the little ones. And if the place has a playground or field to let the toddler run, even better, ley! 💚

Family Brunch at Cafe Melba 

One of the restaurants we frequent in the East is Cafe Melba

Just over the weekend, we were waiting for a table and we saw Elroy's schoolmate (former classmate when they were in Playgroup) and both boys took off to play together

They ran barefooted on the grass, such joy to see them having a ball of time!

I personally love sitting outside al fresco and enjoy my food while the young ones play in the sun

Yummy pizza!

With his head full of perspiration, he dug into his kids meal with gusto!  

All that running made him a hungry boy LOL

Poor didi could only look on in envy while sitting on Dada's lap 👻

After his little tummy is filled, off he went to the bouncy castle!

Precious precious morning spent with my loved ones xx

Still looking for similar places so we can visit, any recommendations? 

I admit, Im a sucker for cute packaging so when I first saw the Nestlé Gerber® Puffs Cereal Snack Limited Edition, I actually squealed and went," SOOOO CUTEEE!" Then the toddler reminded me with a "Mama, this for me?" Lololol yes son but can I keep the container after you are done? 😆 

Nestlé Gerber® Puffs Penguins 

It’s that time of the year when the elves make the toys, and Santa visits the little girls and boys! This festive season, look out for our playful Nestlé Gerber® Puffs Penguins as they come adorably togged out in a limited edition ski packaging! How fun are these!

I reckon Elroy is going through a growth spurt recently because from time to time he will ask me for more food or even snacks after he has his meal. I try not to offer him sweet stuff (coz you know what sugar does to these little ones, yessss they go all crazy after). So these Nestlé Gerber® puffs are perfect snacks to eat at home, or bring on the go - Each puff comes packed with vitamins and minerals including Iron, Vitamin E and 3 B Vitamins. What’s more, it contains 90% less salt and 15% less sugar compared to regular non-organic baby biscuits or treats.

This time round, they come in 2 delightful flavours, Banana and Strawberry Apple. I've tasted them and they are definitely not too sweet! 

Nestlé Gerber® Puffs are best recommended for crawlers from 8 months old. Nestlé Gerber® Puffs signature star-shaped, lightly puffed snack are specially designed to encourage self-feeding.

Baby Elric has to wait for awhile to eat these cute puffs so in the meantime, its all for Elroy!

He cant stop and told me he wanted the whole bottle 😈

Nestlé Gerber® Puffs Penguins Ski edition twin pack is available at all leading stores from 1st December and retails at a recommended selling price of S$13.90 for a limited time so do hurry and grab yours when you swing by the supermarket soon!

Im not sure if you or any of your family members like drinking smoothies or shakes, but the 2 year old in our family LOVES his fruity milkshakes! Fruits plays a huge part in our daily diet and the kiddo loves all kinds of fruits, berries especially. Sometimes we buy so many different types of fruits and we cant even finish eating it all, hence I try to incorporate the fruits in our meals, like a blueberry pancake or banana muffin. Or I would just add fruits into his milk or plain yogurt as a tasty snack. With my new Philips Avance Collection Blender HR 3658/01, he keeps asking us for more! In fact, you can even add vegetables like celery, spinach or kale in for a healthy boost! Read on to see how you can win one for yourself this Christmas too!

Philips Avance Collection Blender Review + GIVEAWAY!

I always have fruits, milk and plain greek yogurt in my fridge as this makes a really good snack in the day for me and the toddler. Commercial fruit yogurt tend to be really high in sugars (I kid you not) and so are flavored milks. Thats why I always try to make them at home myself!

For a quick Strawberry and Blueberry Milkshake, you just need fresh fruit and milk. (Or plain greek yogurt to thicken the consistency) In fact, for a nice cool treat on a hot day, simply freeze the fruits, add some milk (or water) and blend away!

The toddler is stealing the fruits on the table already 😂

The Philips Avance Collection Blender HR 3658/01 has a ProBlend 6 3D technology, 1400 watts of power and speeds up to 35,000 RPM to enjoy smoother smoothies and blends with just the right taste and texture. It is proven to motivate users to add more fruits and vegetables in their daily diet!

The Philips technology ensure that all of the ingredients in your smoothie are finely blended - so that the nutrients in fruit, vegetables and nuts are unlocked from the cell structure and easily absorbed by your body. No waste of nutrients at all! Only the goodness for your family.

With my young toddler in mind, I try to make meals or treats like smoothies that he will enjoy fresh at home without any additives or added sugars 💓

Its so easy, he can do it too!

In fact, you can make your smoothie directly in the drinking tumbler and bring it along with you if you are heading out! The Philips Avance Collection Blender comes with a sturdy 600ml tumbler, made of virtually unbreakable tritan material (as seen below), to make smoothies directly with no wastage and that easily fits in your bag or backpack. For the whole family, you can use the 2L glass blender jar. Whats more, this blender comes with a small mill attachment. Whether be it grinding nuts, spices and beans instantly, or preparing small quantities of baby food and dips. The mill attachment makes time consuming processes much easier. My MIL uses it to make sambal and grind chili! Its really perfect for the whole family!
