  Number Three

  I was never too eager to be a boy mom. Watching my friends with their boisterous sons, I always felt a sense of gratitude to have had two girls. The idea of raising a boy – from choosing his clothes, to cutting & styling his hair (not that I had figured out how to do…

  Words!

  What are my thoughts worth? I’m guessing a lot less than what I believe they are. What are my actions worth? A lot more than I assume they are. Sometimes following through with action is so much more complicated than it looks from the outside. But here’s me acting out my thoughts through words. I…

  The First Born

  When I got pregnant with my first, I very obviously lacked the physical know-how to care for a human baby. I did not learn the importance of planning a family. Patience was never my virtue and the prospect of creating and raising a little life that would be a version of me sounded so enticing.…

  Emotion-ing in the presence of kids

  Somewhere around a couple of weeks ago, the whole mental workload got to me, and I was dealing with some version of an emotional burnout, which again leads to meltdowns. And so, I had a few. I would work on it, try to keep it at bay, or once the meltdown happened, I would try…

  A Pop of Colour

  Every morning for the last few months has been rush-crazy. I’m counting in 3000 steps in the first 2 hours of my day. I’m cooking, cleaning, packing, washing, screaming, yelling, growling, mumbling, swearing, anything you can think of, I’m doing it. At the end of it, once everyone is out the door, I think I…

  What Am I Even Doing? (Part 1)

  This last week has been a lot for me. The break-less over stimulation that comes with attending to the needs of three extremely demanding little ones got to me, as it eventually does at regular intervals of time. Above that, opening up Instagram as a means to distract myself only worsened the situation. Following families…

  Being in the middle

  This is a dedication to my middle child, on the occasion of her birthday this last week. She has officially completed four years, and I’ve been thinking back to when we started this journey that is her. I was advised that I should be happy with the one – I shouldn’t try to reach for…

  Once in an Everyday

  My kids, each of them, individually, are my proudest moments in all of the years I’ve lived. They are somehow my pain points too. Even considering today and the kind of week I’ve had, I would never want to have it any other way. I cannot imagine not being mom to even one of them.…

  Staying Afloat

  I was guided recently to envisioning parenting, at any stage of life, to falling in a pool of water. When our child is playing by the side of the pool or learning how to swim and we’re standing by watching them, and they slip and fall in, what happens to us? How do we respond?…

  Being Woman

  I read somewhere recently that women are the main culprits at bringing down another woman. Why do we do this while we’re each on our own empowerment journey? I see the truth in that first statement as it’s something that’s happening all around me. This is me trying to understand why this happens so often…
