One of the feelings that took a while to sink in is when you have a kid, there is no such thing as non-work, non-kid free time. Every waking moment is either for work or for your child (or for your husband/another family member). To start with,
You know, when you're feeling burnt out, the advice you often hear is to take some time for yourself. "You need to take care of yourself." "You should find some 'me' time". Much much much easier said than done. Whenever you'
How do you keep the spark alive when you're dealing with both an overworked mom and an overworked dad? You can be a same sex couple, no judgement here. I'm just going with the majority way society has set themselves up. Now, I'm not

On my walk this morning, which I've just recently started, I was reflecting on a lot of thoughts. I wondered, how long is this new routine going to last? Previously, I used to roller skate every morning, do daily walks, hit the gym, and even play basketball: just
Have you ever thrown up after drinking tea or coffee? I hadn't been much of a tea or coffee drinker until I had my little lion. Going back to work while he was still waking up at night was tough, and coffee really made a difference to the
