About: Cindy Soo

Little Red Dot Mum was started as a blog in November 2015. It was born out of a wish of a mum residing in Singapore to leave a legacy to her children of how to raise a healthy loving home and family. The affectionate term ‘Little Red Dot’ is chosen to indicate the geographical position of Singapore 🇸🇬 in South East Asia. Much of its information shared on its social media platforms also caters to the local community staying in Singapore (a quick add here: the flower seen tucked in Little Red Dot’s Mum’s bright red icon is the Vanda Miss Joaquim, Singapore’s national flower:) The site’s social media platforms provides support for individuals and families in caregiving for the dependent young and old, self-care for caregivers, and easy home economics to raise a healthy happy home. We hope you leave our sites healthier, happier and with tips and recipes you can use easily! Feel free to drop us a line at littlereddotmum@gmail.com (we love ‘pat-pats’ on the shoulder😄) or how to feature your product / service endorsements on all our major social media platforms. See you around!
