Finding humor in the art of parenting
No one prepares you for what motherhood is really like. People may say it's the hardest job you will ever have, but they never delve into specifics. You smile and nod along, unaware of what is to come once you have kids. They don't tell you the mind-altering state of sleep deprivation you reach when [...]
I miraculously survived the holidays. I hope you all did too. Being an introvert, social gatherings are exhausting. Running around from one celebration to another is not my idea of a good time. Every year my wish is to just stay at home with my husband and kids and just enjoy a relaxing day together. [...]
Guys, I don't know what's up with me lately. I seem to be in a baby fever phase...and I have a baby. My baby is six months old, which seems impossible. Where did the time go? And for months I've been obsessing over babies. I'm starting to believe this is a result of realizing that [...]

If you have followed me for a while, you know that I'm currently breastfeeding my almost five month old. You can read my recent posts about it here and here.
