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 another one they said… You must have heard this a lot. It’s hilarious and the joke is real. It gives all the feels. But some days take you to another place… some days you just go: Awwww! This was one of those days. I love the bond between my 22-month-old and five-year-old. This is…

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…
