The Joy of Sleeplessness
Every morning, my husband and I engage in the most unromantic of pillow talk conversations: who’s getting up with the baby. I have a history of bad luck when it comes to winning contests. This is the one exception. Nearly every morning, my name is pulled out of the metaphorical hat. I have the goodContinue reading “The Joy of Sleeplessness”
The End of March
As February turned to March, my mind is flooded with memories of this time last year. The end of March is not a birthday or anniversary that I have been celebrating for years; it is a first anniversary. This time last year, my husband had accepted a job offer in San Francisco. I developed anContinue reading “The End of March”
In the Shadows
Doggies are king in my home these days. “Dada,” my son calls them. Whether it’s a fussy diaper change or refusal to wear his pants, all it takes is a reminder that we can’t go out and play with the doggies without either, and, instantly, I’ll see his eyes light up. We’ll be out theContinue reading “In the Shadows”

Plain and simple. “Your baby looks nothing like you!” is one of those things. If you catch me on a good day, I will politely smile while mentally slapping you across the face. On aContinue reading “He’s Nothing Like Me”
An Open Letter to Kansas from a Mother

I love showing them that a bloody battle will inevitably end with good reigning over evil and justice being served. Black History Month depicts the stories of countlessContinue reading “An Open Letter to Kansas from a Mother”
Sorry to Pop Your Bubble List, but…
One of the most amazing things about being a mom is the sisterhood you build with other moms. There is a strong sense of bonding and understanding – we are all in the trenches, day in and day out. We know we can count on one another for support. And, just like any other sisterhood,Continue reading “Sorry to Pop Your Bubble List, but…”
How I Met Your Father
Son, the story of how I met your father is a very mundane one, yet it defines our lives. On a crisp September evening in Toronto, a Biology major and a Computer Science major found themselves surrounded by hundreds of English majors in an elective class they had both been dreading. His eyes were kind.Continue reading “How I Met Your Father”
In A Girl’s World
After my little brother was born, I very politely asked my mother when she would be giving me a little sister. I had two brothers, and my seven-year-old self was just plain tired of boys. My mother simply laughed in response. Understanding her laughter, I made the best of the situation. I painted my babyContinue reading “In A Girl’s World”
