One week back and already feeling it? 😅

Between the sniffles going around, the morning meltdowns, and everyone still adjusting to the new schedule — the first week of school is its own kind of chaos, separate from the “getting ready” chaos nobody warns you about.

Here’s what’s actually normal right now, and what’s worth a call to your pediatrician.

Save this post — you’ll want it more than once this month. 💛

Mistakes happen anywhere..
It’s what happens next that tells you who you’re dealing with.

Beautiful property. Warm staff. One issue — and then a general manager who declined to engage, offered no apology, and wouldn’t acknowledge that a documented request had been ignored.😕

In hospitality training this moment has a name: service recovery. Step one is a sincere, direct apology. No qualifiers, no excuses — internal fault or outsourced vendor, ownership sits with the property.

The bare minimum is an honest apology and being treated with respect, regardless of who the guest is.
T&T has an extraordinary tourism product. Our service must be equally as extraordinary. 🇹🇹

Have you ever gotten the apology you deserved? 😔

Okay but can we talk about how emotional birthdays make me every single year? 🥹

It’s a blessing to age. A blessing to wake up and see the goodness of God in the land of the living, daily — that’s not something I take lightly.

To everyone who sent a message or a voice note today — thank you. Genuinely. We get so caught up chasing goals and crossing things off our to-do lists that we forget humans need appreciation and validation too. It’s not extra, it’s necessary.

So I’m not brushing this off today. I’m receiving every good wish, every prayer, every “happy birthday.” Grateful. Thankful. Blessed to be 41.♥️

Happy Independence Day, T&T! 🇹🇹

There’s something so special about raising children in this beautiful, vibrant country of ours. Every steelpan rhythm they hear, every “good morning” they’re taught to say, every doubles they share with a cousin — it’s all shaping who they become.

64 years of independence, and the next generation is already carrying it forward. Proud to be raising mine right here.

Wishing every family a beautiful Independence Day, filled with love, culture, and callaloo. ♥️🤍🖤🇹🇹

“If I talk to my teen about s*x, won’t that just put ideas in their head?”

I hear this one so often.. mummy and daddy.. I need you to hear this: the data says no. Teens with parents who talk to them openly about s*x and appropriate behaviour are not more likely to engage early. They’re better protected, because they’re getting the truth from you, not guesswork from everywhere else.

That’s exactly why I’m starting “Teen Talk Series.” A space to have these conversations with confidence, in a way that’s honest, age-appropriate, and rooted in what actually works — not fear. ♥️

Save this for when you’re ready to start the conversation. Share it with a parent who needs the reminder that talking to them is how we protect them.

By 10, they’ve aged out of YouTube Kids 😞.. now they’re on big YouTube, and the algorithm’s the one choosing. 😅

So as a pediatrician and a mom, I did the sifting. 8 channels I’d actually cosign for the 10–12 crowd; maths that clicks, real science, documentaries that go deep, and a couple that grow right up with them. They’re all on the slides 👉🏾

Screen time doesn’t have to be the enemy. It just needs a gatekeeper. 💛

Save it for the next screen-time standoff, send it to a mama raising a tween, and follow along — the teen (13+) list is next. 👀

Cause we can’t help but love them.♥️💙💜💛💚

Completing my Masters of Science in Neonatology was a journey of resilience, growth and excellence.

This one was tough… as life, adulting and parenthood took centre stage most of the time.

Being multifaceted and juggling many other ambitions and to-do lists made this an uphill battle from the start.

36 months for 6 core modules and 18months for the dissertation all while holding everything else down seemed daunting and unrealistic at times.

But...TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!!!! He did an amazing thing for me. Forever grateful.🙏🏾

I look forward to continuing in service to my patients. And I will always strive to be the best doctor I can be for my little humans and their families.

On to the next as self development and improvement continue. 🫶🏾♥️

Welcome back to our Lab Series!

Today, we’re breaking down a staple of routine and diagnostic blood work: liver function tests (LFTs).

Here is a quick peek at what we’re usually looking at:

ALT & AST: These are enzymes that live inside liver cells — when they show up elevated in the blood, it’s often a sign the liver is working through something and needs a closer look.

Bilirubin: A waste product from old red blood cells that the liver processes and clears out — this is the one we watch closely for jaundice.

Albumin: A protein made by the liver that keeps everything in the bloodstream balanced and moving where it needs to go.

Most of the time, these labs are just a routine check or a way to get clear answers during a specific investigation, giving us the roadmap we need to keep your child happy and healthy. 🩺💛

Part 2 🎙️ — BALANCE as a parent.

My daughter didn’t make it to dance practice a few weeks back. Not because she didn’t want to go — because Mummy was just too tired to take her.

And that’s a lesson I want her to have early: you can’t do everything, all the time. Some seasons you’re deep in study mode, books open every single evening. Other seasons there’s simply no time, or no energy — and that’s okay too.

I’d rather she see me step back than see me push through and pretend I’m fine. Balance isn’t a straight line. It’s knowing when to pull back, without guilt.

Send this to a mama who needs the reminder that stepping back isn’t failing. 🧡

One day you’ll realize how hard it is to be ambitious and a mom.

Nobody prepares you for trying to be excellent at both at the same time..

This year I completed my Masters in Neonatology — on top of clinic, on top of homework, on top of being everything to everybody. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it.

Because my daughter isn’t watching me slow down for her.. she’s watching me keep going, and that’s teaching her something I could never explain in words alone — that you can carry a lot and still carry it well.♥️

Share this with a mama building her dream in the little pockets of time she can find. She’s doing more than she realizes.🫂🌹
