So we managed to get out of the house around 11-ish today which was an absolute miracle. Two kids strapped into a monster double pram, we got out of the building and started walking towards the Le Meridien. Weather was perfect. As we made our way towards the Pik-Nik area, we stopped by the little … More Pik-Nik Family Brunch @ The Westin Mina Seyahi
When another restaurant pops up in Dubai, and markets itself as offering authentic cuisine from our region – we get so excited. Took us awhile to check this one out – I’ll blame it on attempting to make plans when you have two under two’s, and the fact that Kim’s Singapore Seafood is located at … More Our take on Kim’s Singapore Seafood
When I first received the press release, I laughed and thought – they must have read every mum’s mind. Good job for being the first to introduce this in Dubai. Aquaventure – I actually emailed you over the summer to let mums in to your Splashers area earlier, remember? 😉 So, today was the opening … More Laguna Mamas – Waterpark with the Kids

Sometimes I feel that the city is … More #63 Why we return to the same restaurants – Thoughts from a consumer
I struggled to find one place that explained the entire process. I’m sure it’s there. So after a bit of googling, whatsapping mummy friends, searching on facebook groups, lots of phonecalls to numerous centres and running around, I got my nanny’s visa completed. Here’s what we did for our nanny who was already in the … More #62 Getting a visa for our nanny under our own sponsorship in Dubai
My first ladies nights out in a very long time 🙂 I didn’t even realise that China Grill had shut down! I’m sure it wasn’t because of my not-so-nice post of their ladies night there, hee hee (read it here, if you haven’t!) So, it’s been too long since I’ve been to ladies nights (or … More Ladies Night @ Bar Rumba Dubai
