My top 5 ways to make the most out of ‘Me Time’
Let's face it, getting time truly to yourself is rare and precious once you become a parent. When I say truly to yourself, I don't mean getting the opportunity to plow through the housework without a tiny person following behind you, or getting to browse the shelves at the supermarket on your own while doing the groceries.

I just turned 30 and am still not entirely sure what we mean when we say children are 'gifted'. All I know is that it was a term used in conjunction with my name fairly often as a child.

10 Rock Songs to add to your Zen Playlist if you get more peace from Lyrics than a Melody
This challenge is one of the most alluring for me since joining Vocal. I can't say I meditate in a traditional sense, but have always used music as an escape. The opportunity to share my version of what brings me Zen was both exciting and overwhelming. Knowing I could go on for pages, I struggled with how to narrow it down.

It's 2021, I'm 30, and I'm still into the bad-boy romance novel redemption arc.. Top Story - March 2021.
This might seem like an odd thing to "confess". But it's a confession nonetheless. A dirty little secret I keep to myself. I know I'm not the only one. Because these books are being published on mass and there are SO many chapter by chapter novel apps for this exact niche. It's romanticised in TV shows and film and runs heavily through traditional theatre.

The Regina Phenomenon
You remember Regina George right? The ultimate mean girl? You’ve probably encountered your fair share of “Regina’s” in life. I know I have. But that was in high school right? Yeah, I thought so too. I was so not prepared for the Regina’s of adult life. They are so much worse. Mostly because their mean girl tendencies can’t be played down to immaturity or lack of life experience. No. These are full blown adults who know exactly what they’re doing, and do it anyway. You might encounter them in your work life, in parenting groups, or sometimes, your own family. Rest assured, they are out there.

The paradigm of infant sleep is sending parents insane.
Did you know that you don't have to sleep train a baby? Did you know that sleep is as developmental as walking or talking? Did you know that the sleep training industry makes millions every year by exploiting desperate, sleep deprived parents?
