I’ve heard of this trad mom phenomenon. So weird. My daughter keeps on informing me I’m using this fad incorrectly in my conversations. And she also told me I can’t be one. I think I’m ok with that. That ship has sailed.

I did stay home with my kids, but I'm NOT a trad wife. Haha—daughters are the best at keeping us informed about what we're doing incorrectly, sons too!

Jhumpa is the best!! I also listened to Trevor Noah on a recent episode of The Diary of a CEO. He was a guest on there and made some really good points on men and mental health.

It’s true!! The insouciant writing style and it really shone here. Like, extra shiny! I need to go to an art gallery, it’s been a while. I stayed at home with my kids but omg I was never a trad wife😂 a naughty cheeky wife maybe, but nothing very trad about me! Trying to think of something… nope… if it surfaces I shall reveal it. Even my baking skills are wonky 😂

Thank you, Francesca! My son and I got ourselves an annual membership at the gallery and now we don’t feel guilty just popping in and out and not spending hours there. I stayed home too but not for “trad wife” reasons 😅

It's been quite a while since I was in TO last- hopefully I can get there again sometime.

Queen West-ish area is my favourite! So many interesting nooks and crannies to explore.
