Hello Reader Who else has been enjoying the breezy weather and kids back at school? ππ»ββοΈ Ngl, I've been a little quiet on the social media front the past month - trying to soak in the memories with my kids and also just pooped afterwards but now that they're back in school I'm gonna try a little harder (whilst still balancing the desire not to burn out creating content haha) so stay tuned! Also, I wanted to share something personally exciting for me - scroll down to the bottom to read more! 1. Wanchai: The Gruffaloβ
I'm sure this needs No Introduction but this is a stage show you don't want to miss! It's happening a couple weeks from now but letting you know early so you can book the good seats! Go, enjoy and get prepared for them to want to read the book every night until eternity afterwards π€£ PS - go for the Friday shows for a special Gruffalo photo op! and PPS - my discount code! KNOBBLYKNEES - 15% off weekday shows, PURPLEPRICKLES - 10% off weekend shows

3. West Kowloon, M+: Free Drawing and Story time workshopsLove me some M+ Family Drop Ins - even better when there are two! There's an unusual drawing workshop - think drawing with toothbrushes - as well as a 20min Cantonese and English story time sessions, both inspired by the Design Ah exhibition - aka the perfect rainy day backup or AC escape (;

4. Central: Youth Fringe FestivalA whole week of youth performances β music, theatre, dance β and the weekend shows are particularly family-friendly. Great intro to live arts for your kids. Some of my picks - a (free!) artwork exhibition by the illustrator of the iconic hare book Guess How Much I Love You, parent-child Taylor Swift dance class and trying random musical instruments with the 6 cat studio orchestra jam!β

Hello Reader Is the weather finally getting a little cooler? My fingers are crossed! π Here's my picks for the upcoming weekend - proud to say I learnt something new today which is that dino fossils were discovered in HK (I'm picturing T-Rex roaming around Wanchai)! Also included a couple upcoming runs that require pre-registration, as well as a pub quiz for a good cause! 1. Tsuen Wan: D-Park baby carnival If you've got a crawler at home (6-25 months), this is their moment to shine. Free BB...
Hello Reader First red rain on a school day - I guess we're lucky that this year has had minimal weather related disruptions (so far!) but I am in awe of how HK parents deal with this on a regular basis during typhoon season! Thank god for condo indoor playrooms and light rain play π Anyway, here's my picks for the upcoming weekend - and another for a fun workshop in the future (putting it here now so you can sign up by the deadline) 1. Central: Hong Kong Maritime Museum Family Fun Day x...
