The Petite Travellers Virtual Ice Cream Party

Jasmine July 6, 2014

It's been a while since I poured my heart out over here. The truth is that I have been moving into a new home and you know how people say that it is one of the most stressful things that you can do in your life. Well, I can now confirm that it is true. Coupled with everyday life, I have just felt overwhelmed at times. Every few days, I misplace something and it can be frustrating. I'm constantly searching for things. Argh! So I am slowly working on ordering my life and things are getting better but I hope you will understand why I have been a little silent.

But one thing that has helped me through the past 6 months has been this new bunch of friends that I have made online. We rarely meet in person but we chat online frequently. The support that these women have given me has been immeasurable. Sometimes we talk about frivolous stuff, often things related to our kids but sometimes, we go deeper and end up praying for one another too. 

Then recently on a whim, I suggested that we start a blog together on family travel. We all love our families and travelling with them has been one way which helps us bond and make memories.  Everyone was game and we were really excited.

I told them though that I didn't want this to be my blog. I wanted it to be OURS. I wanted to see what we could come up with together.

So it has been that way. Everyone has chipped in in different ways using their own skill sets and as time avails. 

The initial days were a little crazy but a whole lot of fun too. Everyone was buzzing with ideas but we are also incredibly busy mums and bloggers. Keeping a blog running and your household is not an easy task. I ended up working while on holiday in Australia while my kids and the husband slept. Sometimes, I hid in my bed and chatted with my fellow blogmates. Sometimes I tapped on my ipad while sitting on the toilet floor (so as not to awaken the husband and kids). The life of a blogger is really not all that glamourous. 

But working as a group has been really wonderful. Everyone has their own special gifts that they contribute to the group and we try to help each other out when we can. I guess, it helps that we are friends, first and foremost.

So you can imagine our faces when petite travellers made it into the Singapore Blog Awards as finalists in the Best New Blog category. It's a real encouragement to us and a milestone!

We couldn't let it go by without doing something fun. So we agreed to a virtual ice cream party.
Meeting up in person isn't easy for all of us due to our busy lives but we thought we would throw a virtual ice cream party to share this special moment. If you are on instagram, check out the hashtag #icecreamforpetitetravellers and if you want to join in, snap a shot of your ice cream and share it with us online. Don't forget to add the hashtag so we can see it.

And of course, if you would like to vote, we would be ever so grateful. It takes just 5 minutes and after the first sign in, you just need to click on one button to vote.

Here's the link : http://sgblogawards.omy.sg/2014/vote/editors-judges-choice.html

You can find us on instagram @petitetravellers sharing sweet holiday shots and the occasional ice cream. Oh and did you try to guess which ice cream was mine? It's my favourite kind - mint ice cream with a new twist, it had oreos instead of chocolate chips. I highly recommend it.

The best kind of Christmas tree is covered with candy and snow, icing sugar, that is. Thank you @elizabethshenlyn for hosting us yesterday! The gingerbread tree was delicious.
Such a delight to be decorating our own gingerbread trees 🌲 as we count down to Christmas.
Finally found time to attend another workshop at @thecraftcrowd where I learnt how to make a concrete pot which we also painted. It was my first time working with concrete and it was a bit like baking. Bringing home 3 pots today. Loved learning from @mm_mrkt
As a mum, this exhibit titled cocoon connected with me. It depicts how as the designer, Chen Nina was preparing to leave home for university, her mum prepared a home-cooked meal and bought fresh flowers for the first time. It took her years later to understand her mother's emotions as she released her from the warmth and safety of the cocoon she had created. This exhibit tells the story of departure and evolution and in her own words, 'while departure is sad, evolution is beautiful and exciting'.
In the floral windows to the world, there are different artistic floral displays. This one was inspired by film reels and flowers.
I took an early morning walk with @jerilynmoon at the #singaporegardenfestival this morning. There were so many different inspiring and mystical displays. It was invigorating! Here's a peek at one of the first few displays that we saw. Called "Dare to Dream", the vertical landscaping and gazebo was cleverly designed to prod us to dream the impossible. Are you in need of some courage or inspiration? The festival is on till 31 July 2016.
Do you know that today is International Kissing Day? We are big on hugs and kisses in our family. Always before bed but also at anytime in the day and for no reason whatsoever. Sometimes when I am in the midst of working, my kids will interrupt me and ask for a hug. Honestly, I used to get annoyed but I realised a while back that I want to always be available for a hug. So whenever my kids do ask, I now stop what I am doing and I give them a hug. On other times, they ask for a hug when they have done something wrong and I have just reprimanded them. It's harder then but I hug them too. I want them to know that my hugs are free and unconditional and I am always available for a hug (or a kiss). Hug or kiss someone you love today! #hugsarefree #internationalkissingday
We're back in Singapore this weekend for a few reasons and one of them is to celebrate a good friend turning 44. Here's a snap of the gorgeous miniature birthday cakes inspired by his fashion sense. The patterns were painstakingly styled to match outfits that he has worn in the past. Such an amazing job done by @lishbeng! Also, so much love for the restaurant decor designed by our friends. The party was held at a newly launched boutique hotel with a chic restaurant on the ground floor in Tiong Bahru. Check out COO if you're in the area. #cols44
