Category: Parenting

Parenting is my largest category on my blog. I started it when my first child was around 2 years old as I wanted to not only promote my book but document what it was like to be a Mum and what we got up to.

Topics here are vast. You will find top tips, advice, real-life experiences, first-hand mistakes and parenting fails, help and support and an honest viewpoint of being a parent and all that goes with that title.

In tips I cover those fun topics like sleep or the lack of! Teething, the stages like terrible two’s and threenager. I also go into the changes that occur when you have a child like the start of pre-school or school. Everything is real life, no sugar coating. I also cover how I am now far more eco-friendly and how you can also implement this as a busy parent.

The International Baccalaureate Programme (IB Programme) is a collection of international education programs offered by the International Baccalaureate (IB). These programs include the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) and IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) for older students aged 15-19, the IB Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) for students aged 11 to 16, and the IB Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) for young students aged 3 to 12.

The IB’s approach to education is generally considered to be more balanced, cosmopolitan, and future-ready than those offered by most mainstream school systems. Enrolling your child in the IB Programme may thus give them the flexibility and outlook needed to succeed in their future endeavors.

The demand for IB-accredited programs is especially high in Singapore, due to the country’s cultural diversity, the high number of expat families, and the country’s outsized role in globalization. Thankfully, finding an IB Programme Singapore-based families could trust is straightforward, as the country has a relatively high density of IB-accredited international schools.
