The rant of a working mom
by Shelly DS
The week has finally ended and for the first time in over three months, I don’t quite have much to say except “phew!”.

Every parent has most likely dreamt of how they wish to raise their unborn child, be it teaching them piano from a very early age or preparing them for future spelling bees with daily flash cards. To understand what I wanted for Gabby, I need you to take a moment to pause right here, log on to YouTube and search for “baby gymnast”. Now … Read More Lockdown Chronicles: Technology vs Parent
