Becoming an Eco-Friendly Mom
If I’m being honest, I am very proud of all I’ve accomplished this year. I have given birth to an amazing baby boy; I’ve scored an amazing job I love and am managing to do alongside being a mom; I’ve traveled to Portugal to meet all my colleagues — the first time ever I’ve traveled […]
My Baby Hates his Grandparents.
Okay, he doesn’t really hate them… But he’s scared of them and keeps on crying every time he sees them. And God forbid they try to hold him or interact with him in any way! My poor dad tried playing catch with him, and it works so long as he’s focusing on the ball. The […]
Baby Milestones: How Much do They Really Matter?
During the first few weeks of my postpartum journey, I was pretty miserable. I struggled with nursing, my baby had jaundice, and soon enough we were told he had torticollis and inward feet, which required us to do (very uncomfortable) physical therapy with our one month old. It was excrutiating. But through all of that, […]
On Fears and Overcoming
Where I’m from, getting a driver’s license isn’t that easy. It takes a lot of time, money, and nerves, and most people (who are connected) end up simply bribing police officers into letting them pass. My journey towards a driver’s license began some five years ago. I passed the written test multiple times, but failed […]
Baby’s First Cold and The Importance of Staying Calm
My little one had his first cold a couple of days ago, at a tender age of 7.5 months. And to be honest, I am super proud of myself for the way I handled it. My husband and mom were urging me to take him to the doctor right away. With a fever of 38.5C, […]
Vacationing and Mom Guilt
Last Saturday, I came back from my very first vacation I’ve been on since I gave birth. The company I’ve been working for for only 2 months gathered us all in Portugal so we could meet and have fun for 5 days. I’ve never been to Portugal before, and with all expenses paid, I couldn’t […]
Redecorating, Learning, and Farmers’ Markets
Lately, despite not having all that much free time (or precisely because of the lack of it), I’ve been enjoying my life more than I have in a long while. For one, I’ve finally convinced my husband to get help with redecorating the nursery. He’s the type of guy who prefers doing everything alone around […]
Does Money Really Matter?
Yesterday, I heard news from a good friend of mine that her best friend is in the hospital. She has had a high fever for weeks now, and not one doctor knows what’s causing it. They scanned her top to bottom, did all the analysis, and she’s still not getting better, no matter what kind […]

Ever since I gave birth, I tried to eat healthy and stay healthy. However, while I was still breastfeeding, I didn’t want to get on a specific diet regime. My milk supply was already lowered and I wasn’t going to risk lowering it further by not getting enough protein into my diet. At that point, […]

Table of contents: Two and a half weeks ago, I made a big decision. I took a new job despite being on maternity leave for the next seven months. At the time, my baby boy was 4 and a half months old. To my surprise, every family member and friend was really supportive of my […]
