United we stand, divided we crawl

April 30, 2018

When I started to blog (and micro-blog), I knew I was opening myself to the world. I knew I had to be prepared for the criticism. I wasn’t going to let that deter me from pursuing what I wanted to accomplish. People judge more than they understand. People criticise more than they appreciate. FACTS: I […]

Why YOU Matters

Dear Sej, It’s been awhile since we met. It’s been a while since we spent some time together. I miss you. Sometimes.. I catch glimpses of you but you disappear before I can get close enough. Do you remember the time when the world was your oyster and nothing could stop you from what […]

Only child?

April 27, 2018

Even though the world has progressed, some things still remain the same. Like unsolicited advice. Once you graduate, the constant pressure to get married (especially for women) starts piling up.

October 28, 2017

Given my obsession with redoing Rey’s playroom every couple of months, this post shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone!

What is more dreadful for a parent to a toddler than a vaccination shot? A toddler’s haircut! Its 15 agonizing minutes of the child screaming bloody murder!

When the mountains call!

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” ― Augustine of Hippo ..And that is what we truly believe in. Rey has been on a few holidays in his 20 months, but mainly to the beaches and to the cities. Never to the hills. What is life if not […]

It’s Safety week. And what better topic than car safety to speak about? Every day we hear about unhappy incidents on the roads. There isn’t a day when I pick up the newspaper and I don’t read about accidents. And when it comes to our babies, we do not want to take a risk. […]
