Impact-Site-Verification: 21647f51-4803-4755-a55c-421b1a739600 I’ve always been a fan of solitaire, ever since I was a kid (whatever that says about the amount of friends I had!). These days I don’t really have time to play games but the boys are getting more and more interested. We’ve had screen limits since they were born, but now they ..read more

Ah, the age-old question of how to raise a child. Especially these days, parents (especially moms or primary care-givers) can feel torn about how best to raise their child.

Jeremy and Seb are now 4 and 5 years old. I’m ashamed to say they were still sleeping in baby rooms for absolute ages, so last year I decided to do a revamp for them. J chose a racing car-themed room, while Seb went for something a little different – dinosaurs (who would’ve guessed?). We’ve ..read more

Parenting is hard, but I would argue that marriage is harder. Put the two together and it's a recipe for a headache. But it is what it is, and this is what we choose for ourselves, so who are we to complain? Just kidding, I complain all the time. But in the interests of looking ..read more

I've often thought of myself as a bad mom. Who doesn't? My older son Jeremy didn't sleep for the first three months of his life, preferring to protest loudly if he was put down even for a nanosecond. Breastfeeding was an absolute disaster, involving hours of warm facecloths, frozen cabbage leaves, melon-sized breasts, an unhappy ..read more
