Dealing with the stigma of food allergies

May 12, 2012

Our baby has started to eat solid food and boy does he love his food! He would say, ‘Mmmm’ with a look of delight on his face during feeding time. Since he is just starting, I am sticking to rice/oat cereals and vegetables and fruits; no condiments, spices or even salt. Nothing commercial, all made [...]

I’m never going to have pedicure again

April 8, 2012

A month ago, I went to a salon to get an ingrown toenail clipped. I never had an ingrown toenail before and I almost never do pedicures (the last time I did was a year ago when a salon offered free service) so I really hesitated going to a salon and spend time there instead [...]

The need to dye

November 22, 2011

On my birthday, I did something I’ve been dying to do for ten months now: I colored my hair. How this is kind of a big deal? I used to color my hair (covering the gray) every four weeks. Ten months of  just letting it all go without coloring made me look and feel really [...]

What’s the date now?

November 20, 2011

It will be my birthday in two days. It’s actually amazing that I remember it or know that today is Sunday, 20th of November. After staying home and taking care of a newborn round the clock, it’s very easy to get lost of the time, date and day of the week. I don’t even share [...]

Night person, morning person couple

July 14, 2011

For the past couple of weeks, Pristine had been sleeping with us in a day bed connected to ours because for some strange reason, she gets blocked nose in the middle of the night at the other room. We don’t mind because it even has benefits – we are ‘forced’ to sleep earlier and thus [...]

The carbo party

April 23, 2011

Photo credit I haven’t written anything execise/fitness or diet related blog posts in a while so I thought I’d really mention the diet fail I had last week. We were invited to a party. I was pretty confident I’d be ok (read: not eat like a mad woman) because the birthday celebrant is a one [...]

Festivities over, time for serious business

January 3, 2011

Another new year has started – I’ve decided that I really, I mean we, really want to have another baby. I don’t want to be wasting years and end up being 50, sitting on the porch and thinking, “I would’ve given my best.” Secondary infertility is real and it could happen to anyone, even to [...]
