A Positive Pregnancy Test…Again (S2, Ep1)
February 22, 2022
Spoiler alert, just over a month ago, our family grew by one. I can’t believe it’s been a month already, but so far life with two kids is proving to be both exciting and exhausting. Liam is excited to be a big brother and is being so helpful. This also means we recorded another season of Millennial and Pregnant throughout Fatima’s pregnancy! Every week, join us (again!) on our journey from…

Whether they liked the advice, shared the feelings, or enjoyed the conversation, we were so happy to be…
Another year has come and gone, yet it feels like January 2019 just happened. We did a lot this year. We grew as a family, learned to be flexible with life, did some crafts, and made a lot of food. We missed a lot of Five Favorite Things, but for our final post of the year, we wanted to wrap up 2019 with our Top Five Favorite Things in overall…
We moved to the ‘burbs. Well, Queens. Each of the Manhattan neighborhoods we’ve lived in (UWS, UES, and East Harlem) had their own personalities. Astoria is no different. In fact, it’s been refreshing. I’m so happy to be done with the 4-5-6 on a daily basis. While we miss walking through Central Park to HomeGoods and being able to walk home from work, our new neighborhood has a lot to…

But when you’re us, you’re prepared with everything you need. When you go in to apply for an apartment, you have everything ready to go because NYC apartments move so fast. It’s what got us our…
We cannot believe how fast this year flew by. 2018 is over, but it was a great year. Having a baby means having many firsts: first Mother’s & Father’s Day, first Halloween, first Thanksgiving, first Christmas, first laugh, first words, first time sleeping more than 3 hours at night, first [insert cute baby thing]. However, our new year’s eve plans will be like the last few years and involve watching our…
