In the morning today, my kids jumped onto the bed with us. My five-year-old sat with one leg on me and the other one on his dad. He went on to say that one day I am going to staple your clothes so that you’ll always be together! Can I do it now Ama? While…
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….

What is in the smile of a child? Why are we so fascinated by it? As parents, we yearn for our babies to smile, but why do we want to know when it will happen for the first time? Honestly, when we become parents for the first time, we want to know everything before it…
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….
