I'm back! By popular demand... Do you lovely uncles and aunties know I turned the big O one (01!)? Well I did. A week or so ago. Phew, thank God infancy is done and over with. Wasn't as great as you think it might be. I didn't quite like the whole 'being helpless' bit; I... Continue Reading →
I was too tired to even think of a blog post last night. And on such nights, Lil' Z usually helps Mama by waking up as many times as possible. I woke up at 1:02 AM, 2:56 AM and then again at 5:13 AM. She is neither teething nor unwell, it's just how some nights... Continue Reading →
It's been a while folks! The blog absence and internet abstinence was unintentional; circumstantial. The H family was on a road trip. A trip initiated by grim events and complicated by urgency.

Here are the things that I enjoyed this month. 1. I am skin-snob now! Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate I have already shared this on another... Continue Reading →
The day after Christmas Lil' Z turns ten. Ten months! What? Phew! I just feel like I have run a twenty month long marathon. Like I am participating in a 24 hour, ongoing- never- ending reality show. A show where I am being constantly judged- by family, relatives, strangers, the universe.... Heck, many a time... Continue Reading →
It's finally here folks! The ergonomically designed, soft- structured, baby- carrier is finally here. Ha! Months of research and endless mall pounding and Dr J came up with nothing. Until yesterday... She found a Doha- based group of Mommies on Facebook (Meet the lovely ladies here) , that and a few phone calls later; things... Continue Reading →
