What is the most important list you have ever made? For me, it is not the list we made when we were moving houses, not the list I made at my wedding, not a list made before traveling either. It was and still is my hospital list for when I was delivering my first child….
Do you have children who hate eggs? Zaviar, my firstborn, used to loathe eggs as a toddler. Now is another matter because he can now have two fried eggs in one go if he’s in the mood. But at one, he didn’t like them and I didn’t know how to get him to eat them….
My husband went to work today with stars on the back of his shirt. What really happened though? My son came from school with three stars on the back of his hand and showed them off to me proudly. “Yay! I’m so proud of you, Zaviar! Did you also show Baba?” I asked him because…
How many times have you heard a man berating a young boy at how he is throwing the ball, and how he has no skill? How many times have you seen a woman insult her children in front of other kids and let her children know they are not and will never be good enough?…

Have you ever contemplated if your baby has a weird shaped head? If you’re a first-time parent, it is impossible for you not to have thought about the shape of your baby’s head. Starting from your 12 week ultrasound, or NT scan, you are made to start thinking and this thought process goes on long…
How are babies made? What is a belly button? How do we press it as a button? Is God a boy or a girl? Why does God give us pain? Why does poop have to be yucky? Are you even a parent if your child has never asked you awkward questions that stupified you for…
I have searched so many times for the perfect TV shows to show my child. I’m sure you must have as well. After 2 years of age, of course! I firmly believe in no screentime before 2. Although admittedly, when the TV is on in the lounge, we can’t stop the children from stealing glances….
My son Azlaan was born in October 2019. He was less than six months old when the COVID-19 scare became real, the lockdown was imposed, and we became completely homebound. We didn’t think much of it in the beginning. Honestly, I didn’t think about it at all because I was worried my older one may…
