I have a friend who has been married for more than five years now, and something she told me recently got me thinking. She said she is scared of getting pregnant. Pixabay At first, I was a bit surprised

My sister called me yesterday to tell me that my mom was sick. I immediately called her to check on her. I asked how she was doing, and she said, “I’m fine.” But honestly, she didn’t sound fine at all.

Yesterday was one of those days when I got so tired that I honestly couldn’t tell which chore exhausted me the most. Was it waking up early to prepare the kids for school? Was it the endless laundry that

Sometimes I just look at my children and wonder how one little person can mean so much to me. Motherhood is funny because it’s not always the big moments that get me. Most of the time, it’s the really

As a mother, I have learned that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the understanding that they should never have to question whether they are wanted. Children should never have to wonder

Yesterday, I woke up to the kind of news no mother, no aunt, no family member should ever have to hear. It was a normal morning. I woke up as usual, got ready, and started preparing breakfast for my children.

Sometimes I wonder how motherhood turned me into a person who can go from laughing to panicking in seconds. One minute, everything is quiet and normal. Then I hear a loud bang from the other room. Pixabay

Before I became a mom, I had a long list of things I wanted to achieve in life. I had big dreams, ambitious goals, and so many plans for my future. I wanted to accomplish a lot and build a life that I

When I think about what it means to be a good mother, I don’t think about being perfect. No mother has all the answers, gets everything right, or handles every situation calmly. To me, being a good mother

I think becoming a mother has made me understand my own mother in a completely different way. Before I had my own child, I knew my mum loved me. Of course I did, she love all her children. But I don't

One of the funniest things my little girl has ever done happened just yesterday, and honestly, I still laugh whenever I think about it. We were all sitting down together, watching TV and enjoying some

I met a friend, my coursemate who have been a mom since school days. She's far older than me but to her, friendship doesn't count age. We talk we, we laughed shared our experience both in life and as a
