When I was a few months away from giving birth four years ago, my best friend and one of my closest friends organized a lovely baby shower for me and Andi. (Read about it here). Since our friends kept asking us what we want and need for the baby, I decided to consolidate everything in …
I will never forget the day that my daughter Andi first said “I love you” to me. In fact, if you ask me what my most unforgettable moment in my motherhood journey is, I’ll tell you that hearing her say those magic words would be one of my favorites. When she still didn’t know how …
On the day that I was going to give birth, I went to the hospital in the afternoon to see my OB for what I thought would just be a check-up. But when she examined me and said that my water already broke, she told me: “Call your husband and tell him that you’re delivering …
Dear Andi, Now that we spend all our days at home, you would think that I would have more time for you. And yet, ironically, there are moments when my physical presence makes me feel more absent. I’m near you, and yet, I’m in five different places all at once. I’m feeding you your lunch …

Love is in the air, but so is Covid! Hence, Mike and I decided that we would avoid the crowds and celebrate AFTER February 14 instead. We went out THREE DAYS AFTER Valentine’s Day — on a WEEKDAY — and it turned out to be a smart (and safe!) move. We had our post-Valentine’s lunch …
Hey, lovelies! Hearts Day is coming up, and for sure, most of you are looking for ideas on the sweetest V-day gifts for your loved ones. And if you’re planning on having a date at home instead of braving the traffic (oh, and yes, the virus!), you’re also probably searching for the best food to …
5 years old!!! Today marks the 5th anniversary of my blog ScenesFromNadine.com. Wow, time really does fly when you’re having fun! FUN – that’s the biggest reason why I started doing this anyway.
