This guy had a heartbreaking preschool drop off with me this morning. I felt so guilty for having a few hours of downtime. Then at (early) pick up he was so happy. He kept saying: ‘Mommy coming all day.’ (meaning he was waiting for me all day) and ‘I missed you today.’ We had a lovely dinner date together and on our walk home he said: ‘Mommy no more work.’ 😭💔💥 #rumiMB #mamalife #sohard #citybaby #toddlerlife #boom #parentlife #heartbreaker #myheart #mamasdayoff

Confession: It's been about half a year or more since my last mani/pedi. I feel a little bit more human again. 💅🏼 #amen #partialselfcareday #acoupleofhours #mamalife #manywaystofeelhuman #littlethings #whatisfreetime

My name is Rumi and Bruce Lee is my birthday twin. (Nooo pressure, baby boy.) 😆 #rumiMB #brucelee #birthdaytwin #november27 #rumi #mybaby

”I missed you today” is my favourite thing that he says when I pick him up at the end of the day. Today he said it three times. So far, each new stage of this boy’s life has been my favourite. 🐰💗💥 #rumiMB #mamalife #heartburst #toddlerlife #citybaby #rumispeaks

Our window view is pretty glorious these days. 🍁☀️✨ #autumn #fall #toronto #fallpalette #citylife #canada #fallintoronto #seasons #morninglight #light

Run don't walk to Mother Tongue, the (newish) hidden gem at @thetemplarhotel, if you haven't. Chef Francis Bermejo (formerly at Bar Buca and @lamesato) is making spectacular modern Filipino, Asian, etc flavours... everything that makes Toronto dining so interesting and fun. Superb cocktails and service too. It made for a really great impromptu birthday (rare) date night out for Rudy and me. We’re definitely coming back 💜 Thank you @jboquila_millington for watching the little one for us! 💞 #birthdaydinner #torontofood #recentopening #filipinochefs #toronto #filipinofood #notanad #greatname

Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky. - Hāfiz
Happy Birthday to my love, the sun in the sky for Rumi and me. I love you. ❤️

I always thought it would be fun to pay homage to Frida Kahlo. I don’t even remember the last time I ‘dressed up’ for Halloween. Or the last time I wore this lipstick. 😂 I already owned everything - apart from the flowers in my hair.🌹#fridakahlo #officefrida #filifrida #fridawithglasses #fridafilter #zerowastehalloween #halloween

The chef outfit was a hit at preschool. He was much happier at the end of the day. ☺️⭐️🍅 #rumiMB #toddlerlife #almost3yearsold #babychef #likedaddy #happyhalloween #cheflife #oneyearlater
