I’m not afraid to admit it. I hated breastfeeding. I wasn’t into it, and I did it because I wanted what was best for my son. Again and again, I was told, "Breast is Best!" We were never good at it. My son starved the first three days of his life because he couldn’t latch, … Continue reading A Bittersweet Ending

Still Salty
It was a before dinner kind of thing. The wait for the restaurant was long so we decided to grab a little pre-grub so that we could sit comfortably with our son. He needed some distractions to pass the time. I picked up my son, threw on his backpack and held my purse. I made … Continue reading Still Salty

The Meat Market
For the last 7 years, I actually enjoyed working out. I started out running - my motto was “5k everyday!”. Once I got bored of it, I moved onto boxing and Muay Thai. I loved it.

Travel Diaries: Vacation from Parenting
The idea of it was at first foreign - leave my child to go on a separate trip?! Who does this? Why? I can’t leave him! Will he be ok? It was hard to imagine being away from our son for more than 10 hours. That’s the most we’ve been away as working parents. Just … Continue reading Travel Diaries: Vacation from Parenting

Unfiltered Words
It felt like my old insecurities were coming back. I had pushed them so far from the surface that I believed they were gone. The words meant no harm. They weren’t directed at me. But, when your own child is being discussed, then it’s as if the attack was made on you. The discussion was … Continue reading Unfiltered Words

In no time, the pile has gotten bigger, and I have made no progress. Nothing fits. Nothing. I stare at the … Continue reading The Pile
