WELCOME MAT
January15
This will be my last year as a school mum and
it’s a very odd feeling. Somehow I don’t think I
will miss the morning school run...
Not that I’ve been hugely involved with school in recent
years; but when my children were younger, I would go in to
take reading classes and help out. Recently, it’s been more
around sport rather than anything academic.
The different stages of being a parent are really
interesting – just when you think you have the whole thing
worked out, they change, or
you
change, and there’s a
whole different challenge.
For those of you who are just starting out on the “children
journey” and haven’t already got our 2015
Kids’ Guide
, it’s a must-have. It includes
feedback from a lovely panel of mums who share their thoughts on everything
from breastfeeding to sleep deprivation! There are also recommendations on
where to buy the best birthday cakes, school reviews, advice on various health
issues, and tips on holidaying with children.
Singapore is another example of change; it’s so easy to lose track and be out
of date with things. For example, I drove to the airport the other day to find that
the car park at Terminal 1 no longer exists; you now have to park at Terminal 2
and get the Sky Train. Lucky I was early!
Change is inevitable, so we mustn’t fear it – but we can be prepared. We hope
that through our mag, website, newsletter, guides and social media pages we
continue to keep you in the loop to help you make the most of this great city.
This is our 150th issue of
Expat Living
so it’s an excellent place to start.
Happy New Year!
P.S. You can buy the
Kids’ Guide
though our website or at bookstores and Cold
Storage outlets. It’s a bargain at $6!
