There's something to say about the everyday
Decked out in our finest outfits, last weekend my husband and I hit the town for a night out at a friend’s wedding. It was the first time since having the baby that we both put some effort into our appearance and were ready to eat, draaaank and dance. Unfortunately, minutes after completing the main...

Twelve days after having our second child it was my birthday so my husband bought me a spa package that included a massage, manicure and pedicure. The one, most important, thing it lacked was instructions from him on when I could use it. Now, three months later, he has never mentioned the gift nor given... Continue Reading →
I just spent a month with my parents following the birth of my second child. After a not so pleasant experience with baby #1 I decided to take my mother up on her initial offer of caring for me full time while I recovered from the delivery and nine months of hellish pregnancy. It was... Continue Reading →
I'm about to become a mother for the second time and people keep asking me if I'm excited. In truth, I'm more nervous than anything. During my first pregnancy I was living in ignorant bliss, joyfully browsing through Amazon for unnecessary crib bedding until finally the baby came and post natal realities shot down every...

Almost instantly I felt a huge weight being lifted... Continue Reading →
Offer it to your wife and make yourself useful. Last week I was having dinner at my in-laws when I noticed my sister-in-law refrain from asking my husband, her brother, for help in the kitchen because he was busy sipping on a beer and relaxing on the couch with the other gents. After getting over... Continue Reading →

Relationships you've had for years that have been a large part of who you are can be tested once your life includes a whole new being, one who means more... Continue Reading →
It's true. I admit it. Every time the Huggies "power of hugs" commercial hits the screen I cover my face with my knees so my husband doesn't see me 😭. It’s not that I’m ashamed about displaying emotion, rather I'm afraid he might ask me why I'm crying and the question would force me to face the... Continue Reading →
It's a question most first time or, one time mothers will get. As soon as your first born starts to talk people begin asking when you'll push out another one. To be honest, the question doesn't really bother me. I'm not a stickler for privacy, especially since I myself haven't fully grasped the concept of boundaries... Continue Reading →
Saturday I spent the day learning to code at a free workshop hosted by Lighthouse Labs. I didn't do it because I want to become a programmer or build my own website from scratch (I have WordPress for that). I participated because after a long stint of sitting in an office under fluorescent lighting, wearing black polyester pants and answering... Continue Reading →
