Throwback Thursday: Sleep training my son
Hello and welcome to my blog! Oh boy. I reread this from March 11th 2020 and I laughed. I remember struggling to sleep train my son on and off for years. I don’t remember how I finally managed to sleep train him (or maybe I didn’t because I still sleep in the same room as […]

Wednesday Wisdom: Let’s talk about hope
Hello đ reader and welcome to my blog! Today I’m going to talk to you about hope. When I think of hope, I think of faith. You can’t have hope without faith. Otherwise, it’s just wishful thinking. Before October 17th 2019, I didn’t have much hope for Lebanon. I would say “it is what it […]
