by ParentCo. May 10, 2023 Every year the stores start rolling out their standard Mother’s Day gifts – flowers, cards, chocolate, and jewelry. And moms do appreciate these tokens of affection.

The Rollercoaster of Eczema for Mothers of Small Children
by Natasha Scripture April 25, 2023 No one can quite understand the journey of an eczema mom, except for another eczema mom. Before I had my son last year, I only thought of eczema as chronic dry skin that could make a person uncomfortable. My late aunt in India struggled with it and I remember her having a small apothecary of turmeric-infused creams which she would smear across her ashy, flakey skin to no avail.

One Woman’s Quest for Spaciousness in New York City
A few years ago, I had a recurring nightmare that I was being swallowed up by New York City, the dizzying megalopolis I used to call home. The feeling paralleled a fainting episode: the cacophony around me began to retreat into a dulled echo; I felt light-headed and clammy before plunging into a free fall when blackness would hit. With the descent—with the sudden quiet and sensation of being swept into oblivion—came profound physical relief, as if I was returning to breath, the source of life.
I decided to embark on a total dating detox
“Good luck with that!” said Mads, blowing smoke directly into my face when I first told him I’d given up men for a while to focus on other things. Mads was my cantankerous boss, a gay chain smoker from Denmark who was amused by the idea of a man-free self-discovery mission, as well as my deepening fixation with spiritual matters and overall wellbeing. Most of our meetings were held on pavements in front of one of the UN office buildings owing to his tiring nicotine addiction.

Wearing a blue blazer and an aura of resolve, Earle quoted this verse from poet W.H.
