Welcome to reddotmum.com!
Background
We do hear of Singapore referred to as ‘Little Red Dot’. It is an island city-state, situated in Southeast Asia, with a land area of approximately 733 square kilometres, housing 5.45 million people (Singapore Department of Statistics, 2021).
The red lady icon of this site (wearing spectacles) is the site’s founder, mum Cindy, who is born in Singapore, hence the alias ‘Red Dot Mum’. (Fun fact: The orchid in her hair is Singapore’s national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim).
The website was known as ‘moneysavinglittlereddotmum.com’ at the beginning. Then, it became ‘littlereddotmum.com’. After receiving feedback that it was easier to search for a recipe on the website with a shorter name, it became known as ‘reddotmum.com’.
Many of the blog articles have been written and adapted for the Singapore context.
Blog
The generativity blog features articles for family carers that economises on time, money and space. The recipes are adapted to the local context (Eg. some ingredients are substituted as they cannot be found locally). They are also based on the cooking staples and equipment available in the author’s kitchen. Experiences related to human development, lifestyle and caregiving have been categorised into an autobiographical life writing approach, as they follow the developmental stages of the author evolving through her lifespan. It is noted that many of the tips shared in home managing do not include a live-in domestic helper.
Services
Cindy owns Red Dot Mum Wellness, which provides consultation and psychological therapy services in parenting and caregiving. A creative ageing programme aimed at preventive well-being and therapeutic writing includes ‘writing for self’ in guided autobiography circles (online or in-person).
