The only mother I can be
‘It is not what I do; it is who I am.’ Some self-motivational chap somewhere on the Internet whose quote – despite my skeptical dispositions – I cannot seem to shake off. As most of you know, I have changed careers more than Kanye West said he loved himself. I think I can claim that IContinue reading “The only mother I can be”
May The Force Be With You or the rat race of kindergarten applications in New York
“Never tell me the odds.” Han Solo, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back This week, we received an offer from our local public school for G & P’s kindergarten that starts this Fall.

2016
This year has started sweet and sour. But that is exactly why it is already exciting. Goodbyes… In the first weeks of 2016, David Bowie and Alan Rickman left us leaving this world with an ounce less of inspiration.

It’s a woman’s world…
Or the day when redlipstickmama became Soumountha When I started this blog, I can say this now: I was not well. I was a little lonely not because I had no friends but it was a weird loneliness.

To Heart or not to Heart
I hate valentines day. I don’t think about valentines day because I don’t do valentines day. Every year I only get reminded about it when I suddenly realize that I am walking on streets that are pink and red like…hmmm…like the opening of a bad erotic movie from the late 70s or something like that.Continue reading “To Heart or not to Heart”
Out of spectrum
‘Anyways, Hank says I have to start taking pictures of people now. Cause they may be a pain in the ass, but they pay to get their pictures taken. If I keep taking pictures of bugs and lizards, I’ll end up poor and homeless.’ Max Braverman, Parenthood If G hadn’t been sick with a stomach bug forcingContinue reading “Out of spectrum”
Heavenly creatures
After my downer of a post 3 weeks ago, I have been slowly putting my shit together, regaining some stamina for my project, talking more openly to DH, and most importantly appreciating better my accomplishments as a mom. A friend without children recently told me: ‘you are losing your head about achieving stuff, making something out ofContinue reading “Heavenly creatures”
