Moving has got to be one of the toughest tasks that one has to perform during adulthood. In the past 13 months we have had to move twice and both times were challenging, emotionally as well as physically. The first move was from Pakistan to Canada (Lahore to Toronto) and now the second move has…
Refusing textured food disorder in toddlers
This post is really close to my heart because I am going to talk about an issue that has kept me up for several nights, that convinced me at one point that I have failed as a mother and that made me question every ounce of my existence for a good 3.25 years of my…
Feeling imperfect in this seemingly perfect world is NORMAL!
In this social media age of Instagram husbands and everyone doing what they feel is right, the pressure on people (like myself), who do not have their shit together, seems to increase tremendously.

My heart and my soul !
Picture credit : Hinna Ahmad This I thought was workable enough picture of the four of us. Not the best to introduce my family because Hasan (my husband of 8 years) is not looking into the camera and Zoey looks extremely angry) but well. That my friends is Hasan. He loves taking photographs, even has…
There are Ikea’s Swedish meatballs and then there are Koftas!

So, I could not imagine him eating meat let alone koftas (meatballs) till 2.5 years back. When he miraculously started eating…
