Priya writes about family life in Singapore — school holiday activities, kids' products, and making the most of life with little ones. A mum of two.
Priya's writing is grounded in the real-world test cases of raising two kids (ages 5 and 9) in a 4-room HDB flat. She covers playgrounds, enrichment classes, baby products, school holiday itineraries, and family-friendly travel — always with the question 'would I actually take my kids here?' as the filter.
