Children: Our most valuable natural resource.

Fleeing Home - Again.... Content Warning.
Today I am not going to lie about or sugarcoat how I am doing. I am doing terribly. My children and I ended up fleeing our home last night. Again. Because of a man who decided to tell me that I had no other option than that he was going to be accessing my property.

Where Love Lives: A Slow Sunday Inside Our Family Home. AI-Generated.
There’s a quiet magic in ordinary mornings—the kind that doesn’t shout, but lingers in the corners of your heart long after the day has passed. For our family, Sunday mornings are like that: a gentle rhythm of laughter, familiar routines, and soft celebrations of simply being together. If you asked someone passing by our home at 9 a.m., they might mistake us for a movie scene—the scent of fresh coffee, the hum of soft music, and the comforting clatter of plates and cups filling the kitchen. But there’s nothing cinematic about what we do. It’s ordinary. And it’s ours.

Breastfeeding a Toddler: Ignoring the Noise and Trusting Yourself
My baby girl is almost two. A healthy, well-built little human. Sometimes people look at her and assume she is almost three. And when they see me breastfeeding her, the reactions come quickly. The raised eyebrows. The surprised laughs. The comments that start with “wah” and end with quiet judgement.

The Love That Stays Off-Camera
I didn’t notice the fire until it was almost too late. It was a Tuesday in late October. Dry wind, brittle leaves, the kind of air that crackles with danger. I was inside, scrolling through bad news on my phone, when the smell hit—acrid, sharp, wrong. I ran outside just as smoke curled over the ridge behind our street.

A Heartfelt Family Gathering: Celebrating Dad’s Birthday with Those Who Truly Matter. AI-Generated.
Celebrations come in many forms — some grand and elaborate, others quiet and deeply meaningful. For Dad’s birthday this year, we chose the latter: a heartfelt family gathering filled with love, memories, and the simple joy of being together. It wasn’t a huge affair like some big birthday parties you see on social media. Instead, it was a celebration rooted in connection — a true family gathering that reminded us what matters mostMost of Dad’s coworkers couldn’t attend. Many of them live overseas or in different states, so they had planned their own smaller gatherings for him in their local areas. This was their way of honoring a loved one from afar, sending birthday wishes and thoughtful messages from miles away. Another bittersweet reality we faced was that so many of Dad’s older relatives and cherished family members could only participate in spirit — attending the celebration in our hearts rather than in person. It’s always a little sad to acknowledge that some loved ones are now celebrating with us from Heaven, watching over us instead of singing “Happy Birthday” beside us.

The First Fire I Ever Saw
The Night Was Quiet It was a cool evening, the kind where the air smells faintly of damp earth and leaves. I was just a child, curious and restless, wandering near the edge of our backyard. My parents were inside, busy with their usual evening routines, leaving me to explore the small world just beyond the porch. That’s when I saw it—the fire.

The Lifelong Legacy Game
Your up! Have you ever played a legacy game with family or friends? Many game makers have legacy versions of games, where the game is played over multiple sittings, each time progressing deeper into the story. Games like Charterstone, my favorite, Ticket to Ride, a popular train themed game, or Risk, if world domination is your shtick, are just a couple examples. Some take weeks, months or even years to complete, depending on how often you play in those parameters.

The Last Gallop
In a small village nestled between golden wheat fields and sun-cracked hills, there lived a horse named Bahar. He wasn’t sleek or swift, nor did he have a pedigree worth boasting about. His coat was dull in places, his legs bore old scars, and one ear was half-torn from a long-forgotten storm. But to twelve-year-old Rehan, Bahar was more than a horse—he was memory, comfort, and home.
