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.

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.

A Headache, Pain Killers, Surgery... and then drama.... Content Warning.
This week has been really hard. My oldest ended up in the ER last weekend due to severe ear pain. He had an ear infection. I updated his father and let him know that we would need to come up with a joint plan for medication transfer. His father informed me that I would have to give him access to my mailbox/property. I said no.

Essential Tips for Buying a Second-Hand Car in the UAE
At the quick depreciation of new vehicles, the well maintained pre-owned car usually offers better value, lower upfront cost and lowered insurance premiums.
