March 12 at 3:18 PM ‘Mother, mother There’s too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother There’s far too many of you dying You know we’ve got to find a way To bring some lovin’ here today, eh eh What is Going On?’ – Marvin Gaye [Disclaimer: I want to say that I am takingContinue reading “How I started to slowly lose my chill about Covid19”

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. Said this way, it feels like the simplest thing in the whole world. You live somewhere you go the school next door, right?Continue reading “May The Force Be With You or the rat race of kindergarten applications in New York”
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. DH’s grandma L. also followed her husband J., who passed away a month or so ago, leavingContinue reading “2016”
Oh boy…
Warning: since I have not updated my blog in over 4 months, my verbal diarrhea is in full motion and this post is long, obnoxiously long. So what happened to me and my crew? It is not an over statement to say this: not ever before have we dug so deep in our resources asContinue reading “Oh boy…”
Masters of Universe
Mr. Ping: Once I had a dream that I ran away to make tofu. Po: Then why didn’t you? Mr. Ping: Because it was a stupid dream. Kung Fu Panda (2008) Two months since my last update… I wish I could say that I was too busy with my not launched yet business or too involved in my kidsContinue reading “Masters of Universe”
Mood of the day: lady LEGO
It is weird that I never did a MOTD post on color combos because I have been obsessed with color blocking since I was 6 year-old. Of course back then, my classmates thought it was color blindness not color blocking…. Idiots. This morning, I was in a rather happy mood and decided to go for aContinue reading “Mood of the day: lady LEGO”
(Kind of) mellow Fall weekend
We always have busy week ends because staying in the house is barely an option with 3 hyper active tots and 1 ‘cannot stay inside’ husband. There is this underlying fear that if we don’t do anything we may really kill each other. It is a little bit like a retired couple whose kids areContinue reading “(Kind of) mellow Fall weekend”
Mood of the day: Pitch That
Today is a big day because it is the first day that I will be sharing details of Another Garde, the fashion startup I have been working on since February to a friend/business brain/potential investor. It’s scary because I want her to be ruthless and tell me in the face if this whole business conceptContinue reading “Mood of the day: Pitch That”
S-T-O-P
I hate bad customer service. It is one of those things that really bug me. Living in New York does not help; I get even more demanding now. However, something very out of character happened to me: two weeks ago, I almost tipped someone so that they stopped doing their job so well. It wasContinue reading “S-T-O-P”
