I’ve been in the hospital with my daughter for the last 2 days. A little surgery. Poor girl.
She came out of the operating theatre yesterday evening, placed in the recovery room, her small little body wrapped in some kind of foil-like thing, which I later found out was some kind of hyperthermia blanket system that...

Things change when one has a child. I know that for a fact. When Hubs and I got married and moved into our own home, I felt a sense of pride welling up in my chest as I thought, “My own home.” I had plans on how I wanted our home to look like.

My daughter has an obsession with princesses and fairy tales these days. She’s only 2 1/2 years old, but is already very independent and demanding, and definitely knows what she wants.

There is a flutter beneath my breast.
I am thinking of you- your smile, the feel of your body against mine. The light touch of your ruby-red lips on my cool cheek. Your warm, full-hearted hug when you put your arms around my neck and cling on to me, like there is no tomorrow, like we...

I have known you for 2 years only. But I have loved you from the very first moment I set eyes on you, when you looked back at me and whined gently, searching for comfort within my tired arms. And the memories you have filled my head, heart and soul with in these 2 years...

Fridays. They’re the best days of the week, well, almost. I love Fridays. Because it means the work week has come to an end, and the weekend beckons, promising longer sleep hours and time with the family. Which is not to say I don’t enjoy my work. I do. But every little break counts. No...

“Surround yourself with people who will only lift you higher” ~ Oprah Winfrey
My dearest E.,
I felt compelled to write this because these people, your friends, will be one of the most important features in your life. Like family, friends occupy a special place in your heart. But there are many types of friends. And eventually,...
