Staycation

Mother's Day Suggestion #2

Due to the pandemic, travelling overseas is not as easy to organise. The answer is: staycation! Whisk mum for a weekend away in a nice hotel for her to enjoy life away from her usual routine. It is a great opportunity for you and mum to spend some quality time together. She can enjoy a swim, enjoy the scenery and be in total holiday mood! Please remember, if you are bringing the whole family, she should not be babysitting your kids during this staycay! In Singapore, you can book a room near or in places like Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands where she can enjoy and play tourist. I’m sure she’ll be thrilled with such a mini getaway!
