Hi ABY readers. Leslie here. As you all know, I am now CEO and Managing Director of this blog and all its entities. I know you’re a bit weary of seeing my mum’s outfits and it’s time to introduce something a little…more adorable and cuter. No shade 😉
I will be dropping in every now and then to drop my critiques and review items. In other words, mummy’s had her time and it’s my turn in front of the camera! 😉

A few weeks ago, I excitedly shared a photo of my soon to be 1 year old soon gushing about the fact that he was well, soon turning 1! In the post, I casually mentioned several highs and lows we’ve experienced since becoming parents. One of the lows being dealing with his dry skin condition. I was baffled at the response I got in the form of numerous messages from people detailing their own experience and recommending so many helpful things for us to try out. First of all, eczema is one of those things that, until we experienced it, I had no idea how common and STRESSFUL it was.

A few months ago, we found ridiculously cheap plane tickets for Boston and off we went. It was our first visit to the city and, believe it or not, Stockholm in February was more pleasant than Boston in March. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that we arrived completely unprepared. That I, in my converse and thin jacket, did not end up with pneumonia is honestly not even fair.
It was so cold that I wouldn’t even reach for my camera. I snapped more pictures with my phone than I did with my Canon. We stayed outside the city and ventured out to explore, but all those trips were cut short. Being inside and warm was just so much more appealing.
We mostly just ate. I dragged Lee and our friends across the city and back to get Ethiopian, Mexican, Taiwanese, and …
