Storytime: I’m officially double vaxed
Hello reader. How are you doing? I seem to be free from wisdom these past few days. So maybe a random update? I took my 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine today. My arm hurt and drew blood. The nurse said I was too tense, for some reason. I didn’t get any sleep last night. […]

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 […]

What are your priorities in life?
Our priorities are the areas of our lives that are meaningful and important to us. They’re usually activities, practices, or relationships that we want to put genuine effort and time into. Priorities imply that a hierarchy can be followed for different areas of your life and/or work. https://theblissfulmind.com/top-priorities-in-life/ I was venting to a friend the other day about my problems, and […]

My son goes back to school tomorrow and I’m terrified đ°
It’s not what you think it is. Let me explain. My son is 5 years old, and last year was in his 2nd year of kindergarten (there are 3 kindergarten years in Lebanon, the 1st being actually Preschool). Last year, he barely went to school. There was the Lebanese Revolution in October 2019 up until […]

What if someone you know and care about is feeling lonely?
You may think things like “How can they feel lonely when they have an amazing family?” or “I’m their friend. How can they feel lonely when I’m in their life?” The truth is, loneliness can creep up on you even while you are surrounded by people. There is a difference between solitude and loneliness. Just […]

What I think of e-learning for kids under 7
So…online learning. How’s it going for you? Honestly, for me, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. It’s not great either. I don’t see it working on the long run, but rather a bridge to fill the gap between last year and how much school the kids had to miss and it’s […]

September: Expectations vs. Reality
We are in the middle if September, and it feels like August. It was the same way last year. This year is worse. I personally believe it’s because of global warming. Summers have become hotter. Winters have become colder. Last winter, we had some pretty harsh storms, and this summer doesn’t seem to come to […]

COVID-19 is not a hoax
Sorry, I had to just put it out there. After all the cases, all the deaths, some people still think that COVID-19 is a political game or just like the flu. Some people still refuse to wear masks, or wash their hands, or socially distance from others. I’m visiting my family so I don’t lose […]

Waiting it out…
I was thinking of going for a walk but I just went on the balcony and it feels stuffy outside. My allergies already have my nose practically closed up from the internal swelling, and I’ll be wearing a mask if I take a walk to the park so I’ll be even more stuffy. I also […]
