Hi! I'm Layan. I am just a doctor mom, and as if my life wasn't busy enough, I decided to add "blogger" to the mix. Writing a blog makes me a blogger, right? So, here it is. You will find articles that are useful and important. They represent different facets of my life: working woman, a mother, an OB/GYN doctor. I promise that there is something for everyone.
