11 mother-daughter bonding activities you can do with mum this Mother’s Day
From pampering sessions to spending an evening in the wild, here are some ways you can celebrate Mother’s Day with your loved ones this year
By Ng Hui Yu -
There is no bond quite like the one between a mother and daughter. She's our best friend, a life coach and more; and we will always be a little girl in our Mum’s eyes, regardless of how old we are.
This Mother’s Day (14 May 2023), to celebrate the unconditional love between mother and daughter, we've rounded up some fun and meaningful activities that you can do with your mum.
With Mothers’ Day approaching, Singapore will also be commemorating its first-ever National Women's Checkup Week from 8 to 14 May 2023. Unfortunately, many mums overlook their personal health, according to recent research commissioned by Roche Diagnostics in Asia Pacific and conducted by Frontier View, with 1 in 5 women stating that they have delayed or avoided medical treatment one or several times due to a family obligation.
Make sure mum’s love doesn’t come at the cost of her health. Take your mum to get checked and prevent potential health issues by making an appointment for cancer screening via Singapore Cancer Society during National Women’s Checkup Week. Spend a happy and healthy Mothers’ Day this year ensuring your mum gets the care she needs.
