Our Noah Oliver has officially been a toddler for two months now and I’m loving it! As special as the baby year is, it’s also tough in many ways; primarily because of the sleep deprivation-induced brain fog, which can make it hard to enjoy life at times. For me, being able to spend Noah’s second Read More
Sick with COVID-19
A year into the pandemic, a year of lockdowns, quarantines, social distancing, and obsessive hand washing and mask wearing, we have tested positive for COVID-19. The invisible enemy finally got us… In addition to feeling sick, I feel upset and frustrated for having failed at avoiding the coronavirus despite all of the sacrifices. I spent Read More
10 activities to do with a toddler while isolating (when you are NOT sick!)
After almost a month-long Christmas holiday we were looking forward to sending our 3-year old Maia back to her nursery school for the mornings (9am-12pm).

Night weaning – beginning of the end of my second breastfeeding journey?

Maia three years old – birthday party in lockdown

Tuesday
There is a lot of routine in my daily life with the kids and especially during the coronavirus pandemic it has felt like every day repeats the last. But although life feels repetitive it’s not boring. With small kids nothing stays the same for very long and soon I won’t even remember what this stage Read More
Locked up, again
It’s Monday morning, November 2nd. Maia is in her nursery school and Noah is napping in his room upstairs. I’m sitting in my kitchen with my third cup of coffee looking out the window as the stormy wind tears leaves off the trees in our garden, scattering them on the grass to be washed by Read More
