“You can always tell who the strong women are. They are the ones who help building up one another and not tearing each other apart” Earlier on, when I donned mommyhood I was always encompassed by doubts, worries, dilemmas, uncertainties, confusions and hesitations that new motherhood bring with it. I was then, introduced to JAMM’s […]
Movie Date with Bub?
Yet another dilemma new parents face is whether to take an infant/toddler to the movie theater or not. Ever since I became a mom, I have always been surrounded by contradictory thoughts on whether infants should be taken for movies. Some moms advocate it saying, infancy is the best time, since the baby is likely […]
Pregnancy Diary
18/11/2014 “Ahhhhh…. Being pregnant is so different from what I thought it would be like. It is such a roller coaster ride. Everyone around says that the first trimester of pregnancy is the most difficult , I couldn’t have agreed more. It’s so weird. Probably the only time in my life when I can eat […]
Traveling With a Baby

What is the most precious gift I can give my son?
Ever since I donned motherhood, I have been introduced to a side of me, I did not even know existed. My heart and mind are constantly at work to do the best for my child. Should I give him fresh fruits or juices? Should I rush to him when he cries or allow him to […]
Being woman
Each year Women’s Day is celebrated with enthusiasm and a lot of fanfare. On this day I ponder, what it really has been like being a woman for me. I don’t have a sob story where I would say that my family treated me differently because l am a girl. I was loved irrevocably by […]
