As the happy day approached, we went to a check-out early in the morning. All packed and ready, we drive to the hospital and our doctor tells us it's happening. Fast forward we get to our room and soon enough my wife goes to the delivery room. Not being allowed to assist in this process,... Continue Reading →
Need for speed with a baby on board
One of my pleasures on this earth is driving. It's a thing that I enjoy and I can do it for hours and hours. There are a few other things that I can do like that but this post isn't about that. As a younger driver, I had a bit of a need for speed.... Continue Reading →
Life at 40
Congratulations. You've reached level 40. That sounds like an achievement on PlayStation. And just like those, it doesn't mean much. Life goes on and you don't feel like much has changed.

Life with kids in quarantine
My son is 13 months old now. I'm not very superstitious. Is that even a thing? But the 13th month was weird with all the quarantine in a pandemic world. I thought it wont affect him much, being still a little one. But we are not made to stay indoors and little kids need to... Continue Reading →

Always watch your kid
Always watch your kid - even when surrounded with people you trust. No one will care for him as much as you do. Be weary of people who are charming, outspoken.

30 cents coffee and 30 minutes to burn

Why are kids so annoying?
Yes, I'm not kidding. People who have kids know what I'm talking about. Those who don't, will find out. And those who don't want them, maybe they already know why.As cute and lovely as they are, kids can be even more annoying and tiresome. There could be 1000 reasons why they are upset, but if...

Why we love our kids?
It's a simple question. Isn't it? Maybe it would be interesting to take another approach here and ask the opposite: why we wouldn't love them. It could be all the sleepless nights and tiresome days, the constant cries and laments that will scar you for years to come. Mother nature has programmed us into reacting... Continue Reading →
