Life as a mum (and a woman) is beautifully busy — a wild mix of love, chaos, and reheated coffee. Between lunchboxes, deadlines, and dreams that aren’t always ours, I realised I’d forgotten how to just… breathe.
Breathe is my pause button — a space for slow living reflections — the corner of Eat. Play. Travel with Sid where I slow down and find my way back to me. Some days it’s quiet yoga; other days, it’s laughing too loudly with my girlfriends over cocktails that sparkle like mischief.
Sometimes it’s five stolen minutes before the world wakes — no noise, no guilt, just me.
Here, I share Sidscapes — my me-time escapes that refill the soul — and Sidentity — slow living reflections on rediscovering who I am beneath the layers of motherhood and the beautiful madness that comes with it.
Some stories are deep. Some are hilarious.
But every one of them is honest.
So let’s pause, recharge, and breathe — with a wink, a giggle, and maybe a cocktail.
Because breathing isn’t about stillness or perfection — it’s about remembering yourself in the middle of it all.
Sometimes, joy really is just one deep breath away.

Between diapers and deadlines, many mums forget their own dreams. Here’s how I unpacked mine — one messy, magical step at a time — and learned to travel light again.

Feeling mentally overloaded? Learn how to declutter your emotions like you’d clean out your wardrobe — with humour, heart, and a little mum magic. Because sometimes the mess isn’t in your room, it’s in your head.

Discover why “me time” isn’t selfish — it’s survival. Learn how to recharge, reset, and reclaim your sanity (and your sparkle) with small self-care rituals that help you show up as a calmer, happier mum.

A personal reflection on postpartum darkness, faith, surrender, and the quiet grace that guided me back to light after motherhood changed everything.
Hi, I’m Sid
Mum | Foodie | Explorer | Writer
Somewhere between lunchboxes, laundry, and toddler tantrums at airport security, I lost “Sid” and became just “Ma.” Eat Play Travel with Sid is my journey back, through food that feeds the soul, laughter that fills the room, and adventures that remind me who I am (and how much chocolate counts as self-care).
