We zipped all over Singapore this past weekend and filled our days with nature walks, playdates, playgrounds, the beach and lots of yummy food! My hope is that this recap answers all your questions for how to do these things and make it easy with kids!
Exploring Singapore with a Car - Volume 1
We’re not going to the US next month as planned so we decided to rent a car in Singapore and explore this little island instead! We’ve had the car for one week now and we’ve already discovered new places. This past weekend we hiked around Coney Island and did our second visit to the Singapore Zoo!
Debt Snowball
I never held credit card debt month-to-month until Nick and I moved in together. I had student loans but that was it.
Bulk Buying on a Budget
I recently shared on Instagram how our grocery budget seems to be the hardest thing for me to get a handle on. I just can’t bring myself to sacrifice quality to save some money. Thankfully, Scoop Wholefoods and their bulk bins have helped me keep the quality and save money. You just have to be smart on what you’re getting!

iHerb Favorites for Clean Living
I started my low-toxin, natural lifestyle while living in New York City where access to clean products was simple. I could pop into a Whole Foods or place an Amazon Prime order and have anything I needed instantly.
Water Birth in Singapore
As soon as I knew I was pregnant, I had a deep knowing that my body was made to deliver a baby. The goal was a drug free, water birth and I was determined to do as much as I could to achieve it.
Regaining Power Over Your Period Through Essential Oils
I was giving a presentation in front of my ninth grade English class the first time I bled through my pants. I was mortified and powerless. How did I not know my period was coming? How could I be so unprepared? Fifteen years later I am grateful that I recognize period symptoms and that I have tools to help me through my menstrual cycle.

I was equal parts excited and super nervous about using cloth diapers. It was something I always had in the back of my mind that I would do with my babies one day but, when the time came, I was frozen by absolute overwhelm. I had no idea where to start.
