Proud Mom's Corner

Today is Leroi's 19th month . Im so proud that he had reached this milestone actively and in good health throughout the months. I really wish and pray that he continues to have a life well deserve for him with God's upon him all the time. There is no such joy that Iam having right now as I see my son this loveable and smart. I've prayed so much for a child of my wish and God has been greatfull for blessing me with this wonderful gift. I know there were times that I forget to just say thank you to Him for even just the smallest thing He gave me, Iam not that religious either, but in my heart, there is always my deep acknowledgement to God . I always said that Iam this kind of mother that I ever wanted to be. I'm not so fortunate to have all the good things in life and just like everyone, there were also some trials that takes test on my well being but Iam still thankfull that Iam alive with purposes which I think is to be a better person for myself and for the others...

There are many things that can break a heart, Rejections and failures even just on your start, Sorrows and grieving, marks of wars, As well as the pain, of saying goodbye. A heartfelt confession of a battered wife, The weep of a woman who lost her son; The bitterness made of being left behind.. Such longing for love that they are deprived. Those cries in the silence, where no one is in sight; Where only the prayers were uttered in sigh.. Tears flowing and hopeless mind, Pleads for salvation from her sorrowful life. All these, you know is a view of a MOTHER , Their other side We might not even get to bother. The heart in full sore they don't just want us to feel, For the sight of her sad child is the the last thing they would ever wanted to see. In our young mind, we might question this.. Why would they have to keep just it; Why don't they just fight like heroes on their leagues? Why? Because they are MOTHERS and they just know what is BEST . In the most ugly times, we'll j...

In life, you couldn't please everyone around you. Some appreciate what you do, some couldn't understand you. There maybe a few who salute you, a number envy you or more of them don't just know the real you but are good at judging you. Im aware of all these.. Though not for myself but for my MOTHER . My mother is tough. She walk through life with all her strenght. Behind her sharp tongue that nags out all her complaints, is the heart of a MOTHER that I would always forlong and not ever wanted to get replaced by anyone else. She got her weaknesses and Iam sure we all have. Because of it, she fell out in numbers of times. But it doesn't move my heart on loving her. Her once fall of defeit is a pain to our family. I never give a damn. I just count on her great things done and just pray for that heart-tearing part of us to all get healed in time. I have learned to weigh things in balance. To justify her means, to give my ownself explanations on how things happened.. To what...

Mother's Day is just a few days away for this year. Celebrating it has been part of our society. In TV shows, we have seen on their features, lots of ways on how we take gratitudes to our mother. On social networks and medias, shouts of greetings, tweets and graphical presents such as cards and banners are everywhere. My question is.. Are all these just for this season? It was just few weeks ago when I've seen this qoute, shared by my auntie on facebook. It says.. We are too busy growing up that we almost forgot that our parents is getting old. How true! As for a mom like me, I just got to utter to myself the words that drives my tears roll down from my eyes. That I hope, someday, my son got to realize about this more earlier than I was. Because I simply cannot bear the pain I caused to my mother upon not realizing that. This MOTHER'S DAY , I want to say my SORRY to you mom! Again and again. And I Love You more than you ever know.

You are doing something in the kitchen when you heard a high pitched shout from your little cribble whose playing. Then you hurried yourself to him only to find out that nothing bad happened. Its just that he couldn't open a box or he can't take his shoes on. The following days, you noticed that its more like being a habbit to him whenever he can't make his way to something. You find it frustrating, right? You might be wondering why he come up to this attitude. This screaming thing is just normal on children in their early age. Within 16 to 19 months, it is prominent. At this age, they are still learning to produce words. Maybe an average of one word per day. And some might still connecting the words they already knew to each other. They could now see things that they wanted to take try or immitate. These are their little goals. Seing you or other person succeeding on doing what he is trying to do and ending things not the way he want it to be could easily frustrate him. An...

Moms, can you still recall your first reaction when you got to know you're pregnant ? Well, we probably goes beyond different kind of reactions. The way we behaved has packed into unique stories. Isn't it good to think back of that moment? For me, it never went easy. It went away far beyond my must be perspective and priorities. I would not forlong with the true story behind but rather share the wonder and changes it brought my life. The drama which was kept within 9 months of being a mother of unborn baby is overwhelming. The odd feeling was great even after seing my precious child the first time in my arms.. Its empowering! My mindset has changed into creating more usefull steps towards proper parenting. It was never a day without feeding my mind of better ways to keep my child on the right track.

Who says we need to wait until 2 years old for a child to teach him the alphabets? Lenard Roi , my 16 months old son can now distinguish A,B and C aside frow his favorite 'circle' . He can now depicts a number as a number though not knowing the exact name of it and often just say two, tee fah as what he refer to numbers. It doesn't matter how early you can teach your child as far as you can see his/her interest on learning. Infact, the earlier it is, the better he will get further The key is your patience. Consistency as well is a must. In my case, it doesn't take long after my child's birth when i dedicate myself to give him the best for him as his first mentor. I knew already that it was me who would mold his interest to study. I gather the materials that would be of help like books, colored papers, illustrations etc. You need to be creative too. As far as you have your resources whether recycled or new, just rely on your imagination. Draw, cut, paste, build som...

Cribble's Frame: Hello Cribblers Moms

A mom on worry is a usual scene when there is a toddler at home. We could not hold those curious cribbles in one place without glancing at once on them as we take aback. By nature, toodlers are active. They had learned how to use their locomotor parts and we can't just stop them from exploring around. It is hightime to consider child proofing at home. It is the best hand on response to this problem. Look out for those sharp edges and heavy furnitures on reach at home. Fix broken things that might harm your child. Keep poisonous things out of their reach. Always be alert having your Cribble around and make sure they're within your sight most of the time. A childproof home could not guarantee all the safety measures you expect, it is still our guidance which can make things atleast more athand.

Hush... You are pregnant! I understand that you just couldn't stop grieving. You feel dumped... You were neglected... Nobody's there for you... You have your 6 other kids and their good for nothing father left you with this... You're discriminated... You got nothing on your pocket and got to have a home for comfort with your condition... Whatever it is that you bear on your shoulder that cause you tears... Hush now! It will not be good for you and your baby. Some experts has been explaining this throughout some ages. Scientists has done their research and Doctors never fail to give reminders about this. Pregnant women should avoid STRESS. The emotional negativity affects the growth and development of the baby inside the womb of the mother. The brain formation particularly get the damage. Some cases of mild to heavy bleeding which sometimes resulting to abortion, due to this matter, has been reported and considered an evident cause of the baby's death. How cruel! Isn...

As I stare at the gray wall on our room.. Everything seems blank. Clear pages. Book's texts fade. I don't want to live where everything is dull. How many colors do we have? Wouldn't it turns out weard to be painted all in a piece.. In a part? The real thing is... I'm troubled. Have some doubt. See how a picture of things from our mind on concentration had brought up the reflection of what we truly feel? I'm not a psychologist. I just know it's a mind related thing. Have you tried assessing yourself up in a different way like this? Sometimes i think this is an art. Or it surely is and I'm not just aware that it really is? I don't know but i badly hope so. All i know is that this weard thing in me satisfy me most of the time. It's like visualizing things and depicting what it might mean as long as I can. This things leads me to love writing. It brings out the uniqueness in me which is later I don't just want to keep for myself. I feel sharing would...

I have tried some ways of weaning my 17 months old son, Lenard Roi , from breastfeeding. I started it a week before he turns 17 months by having my breast messily marked with a red lipstick, hoping he would refuse to suck it if it looks unwantedly dirty. This thing worked in my first approach to him. He frowned in disappointment to what my breast looks like but by having it observed more for moment, he was then willing to take it no matter how it looks. I refused to breastfeed him for a moment and tried the other way. This was a plan with my husbands support and coordination. We have prepared a bottled milk first as follow-up when he insist to have him feed. Lenard must not see me atleast just for the time we will execute the plan. My Husband joined our son for long minutes of play and bonding until Lenard called a time out for a breastfeed as he shout 'dedede'. That's the cue. I didn't come for his need and remained out of his sight. His father gave him the bottle ins...
