It was at this time last week when I knew something was wrong. I woke up at 9:30am and saw what looked like my mucus plug in the toilet. For the uninitiated, that’s this tiny little thing that keeps your cervix closed. Losing it signals the beginning of labor.

Continue reading →: I’m Not Always Okay, and That’s OkayI’ve been wanting to write about this topic for a long time, but I could never find the right words to describe it. I know there are many others who go through the same thing, but don’t have a name for it either. It’s like water slowly rising all around…

Continue reading →: So, What Do You Do All Day?This is a question I hear often, being a work-at-home mom without household help or a yaya.

You’ve seen it before: Wild-eyed parents, one inhaling food, the other running after a tornado cute, adorable toddler. This is our life every time we go out to eat. Having an incredibly energetic one year old with an insatiable zest for sockets, trash cans and industrial fans, leaving the house…

The past two weeks have been pretty horrid for us, sleep-wise. Naps are awesome, but the night time brings with it a ton of wakings, frustration and obviously, lack of sleep. I’ve been attributing this madness to his teething (4 little buggers are coming in), and we’re giving homeopathic teething…
