As a mommy to two little girls, many of my moments are brimming with to-do lists from every tense -- past, present and future. When I first sat down to pen this post, the intro went something like this: "I'm still playing catch up following our travels and ailments..." I was then going to regale… Continue reading The Game of Catch-Up

It’s Rewarding, Being Awarded
Back in my school days (which I guess technically ended less than one year ago!!), I cared deeply about recognition.

To be clear, I was feeling pretty awful most of the time due to chronic pain, a few unnecessary… Continue reading A project from my nesting days of not so long ago…
Musings from a Mama-of-1-turned-Mama-of-2
For many months before that fateful Easter Sunday when K slipped and slid her way into this world, I listened closely to the jabber of other mamas-of-two.

I heard lots of familiar tidbits -- you'll be less… Continue reading Musings from a Mama-of-1-turned-Mama-of-2
