So what is quality time? I mean the constant sense of guilt for working parents is ridicules when it comes to spending time with kids at home. Universally we all agree quality time is needed but how much is enough? The short answer is, it’s never enough, but no time is unacceptable. Even a daily…

The Land of Flames
So here we are in Baku, after packing last night, been busy with a (2nd) cousin’s wedding, and family coming over from overseas, we barely had time to think about this trip. The flight was fine (felt a little longer than it was because there wasn’t much entertainment for the little guy who got a…
Should I make a will?
Why have a will? Even if you don’t have much to leave behind when it comes to material things, having a will is one of the most important things you can do. I lost my father early in my life (I was 11) and luckily both sides of the family get along really well and…

Persian Delight
A trip a millennia back and forth to a culture full of tradition.
Take back your bed
Since my son was a baby, he always slept in his bed. We made it a point to get him used to the idea or concept of sleeping in the same bed as us. This is mainly for selfish reasons. We would love for him to be with us, cuddle and hug the crap out…
