The NHS has been facing ever-increasing pressures in recent years, with slashed budgets, staff shortages and lack of resources taking its toll on the quality of care. One of the many ways we commonly see the impact of these pressures is in waiting times for GP…
The day you’ve dreamed of for years has finally arrived! Your little girl is all grown up and has chosen a partner to start her life with, and you are officially a MoB -- Mother of the Bride! While congratulatory remarks are appropriate at this juncture, so are a few…
This one is as simple as crowdfunding your honeymoon. It might sound strange at first, but do you really need another blender or set of dinner plates? Instead of having your guests purchase a bunch of things you’ll end up trying to return anyway, why not let them chip in for…
My son and I are in the bookstore. (We love the bookstore.) He is happily wandering the aisles when he comes across an entire shelf of Goosebumps books. "Mom, I am going to need a few minutes to check these out," he says.…

Once I received news that my daughter failed her repeat newborn hearing screening, we were quickly referred to the local children’s hospital and to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor for further evaluation. Things moved fairly quickly and my daughter was scheduled to have another type of hearing test to determine how much hearing loss she had so that they could determine what course of action that we needed to take. The next hearing test was more extensive and my daughter had to…

I remember the day that I went into labor with my daughter, we were out celebrating my mother’s birthday and just as I was getting ready to crawl into bed. I heard a pop and knew instantly that my water had broke. Of course, I should have known better but I immediately ran to the bathroom and sat on the…

Since we have been back home, baby Giulia have been welcome and coddled by the all neighborhood's community.
Everybody is unbelievably happy because she's the first newborn in many years.
You must know that Trastevere is a very special neighborhood: the people who live here really feel like somehow belonging to the same family.
Which means that before her…

During my pregnancy Hubby would always remind me to have some sweet music on.
He believed to those who say that babies, after their birth, can recognize the music that they have been listening to, when they were living into the belly.
I was skeptical about it.
Actually a…

Some of you have probably read on my FaceBook Page that I am completely going crazy about new born babies shoes.
What could you expect from somebody like me that has Italian blood in her veins and writes on a blog called "MiR. First and only rule: never give up on high heels", uh?!
Anyway, as far as practical…

My baby Giulia is due sometimes around June the 15th.
Maybe even before that.
Obviously we are all very excited about this.
I am also scared to death…but I don’t want to think about it.
The entire family is looking forward to the event (even though my husband will have to give up the upcoming Foo Fighters concert… – Giulia has already something to be forgiven for).
Me, Husband, grandparents, aunts and (I like to believe) our two dogs…
While…
