My family woke up before 6am yesterday and with all that extra time, I decided to make us a fancyish breakfast. One look outside told me it was cold and dreary, so instead of my usual green juice, I rummaged around the kitchen looking for something warm and cozy to make. That’s when I remembered…

How to Choose Again When Things Don’t Go As Planned
If you saw my Instagram stories yesterday, you may know that Raffi had a fever and had to stay home from school for the day. Luckily, he was feeling better rather quickly (and especially after a three hour nap), but at the first sign of him feeling unwell, I immediately started to feel a familiar…
How to Eat Seasonally This October
I grew up in the subtropical climate of Miami and because the weather didn’t vary too much year round, the idea of eating seasonally never occured to me.

The Last Movie That Made Me Cry
A few weeks ago, I was on a flight to Miami with Inge and Raffi. It’s a short trip and Raffi was having a good time entertaining himself with his toys, lollipops, and pre-downloaded YouTube shows on my phone. We were flying JetBlue, so I was happy to see they had screens available, which isn’t…
