I had ideals in my head for parenthood - in the most cliche manner ever. I wanted to breastfeed exclusively, build a bond so strong through that and...well, save some pennies with breastmilk. Plus, it helps lose weight. Then I realized that ideals do not exist. They are ideals for a reason and the last thing actually in parenthood is for things to...
I joined my mummy friends at the Tula bash over the weekend and also to celebrate the first year anniversary of Tula Stocking Buddies! How lucky were we to nab these golden tickets to the event - turns out, the wait list was super long! Us and our tulas. Finally C can fit into one without the insert! One with the founder, Ula...
Dear Cyrus, "Where did all the time go?" is a question that I repeatedly asked myself since the day you arrived. It does seem that time fly by a lot faster...and I try to keep track of your milestones (and that scrapbook that's been collecting dust), update your social media accounts (by the time all these make sense to you, it'd have been...
I am in sucha severe backlog of posts, sometimes I wish time would stop for me to complete all these jumbled updates. Here's a post written quite awhile ago, our musings which still crack me up. 14 WEEKS Today you turn 14 weeks, the size of a lemon and the app says you start to grow peach fuzz all over!

I resisted purchasing a bottle warmer till he was drinking from a bottle (some babies do so at birth while we delayed it till he was 4 weeks old). And the very tempting promotions thrown during a baby fair can get in the way of purchases too - another post in the making on these. Turns out majority of the food warmers did...
By the time I made it past the first month of maternity leave, I was begging for it to end. I may possibly offend half the community of sahms or more, but this one job not meant for everyone. Don't get me wrong, I love C with all of what I have and more...and dread the return of work because I may miss out...
30 days whizzed by so fast, I felt at some point that I was trapped in some time machine and truth be told, planning for his full month occurred way before that - when I had all the frivolity and time in the world to think about theme, food....candy table and more. Leaving me to just handle confirming my choices during confinement. Overplanning,...
In this world of parenthood, the range of products for every single thing is endless. And for us new parents, it was an entire learning journey altogether - what to get, where to get, when to get and most importantly which one to get. Sterilizing is a must - no matter which method used. When it comes to dealing with the little human...
