Besides saving up for the future, having a baby is quite expensive especially when you can't or choose not to breastfeed. It's never a bad idea to find ways to earn extra money for a backup support system, and most opportunities don't even require you to leave home. Before starting off, you should know that there's no such...
Dear Parents, All babies are different, so try not to compare. I know it's difficult not to feel a little worried if baby seems too shy or hyperactive for your preference. It is also hard not to feel proud when baby is a milestone ahead of another kid. In truth, there is no competition, all babies are cute and charming in their own way......
My husband and I with Miggy went to the badminton court for our weekly exercise, or should I say detoxification. At Hi-Power (HP) Badminton court, people are friendly and diverse but above everything they are family oriented. Amusingly, there are many "Badminton babies" in the HP family. You'll notice I said HP family. I know I haven't been a regular in that court...
At some point, this is bound to happen. Some moms will see their babies fall off a chair, the couch or the bed or even someone else's lap. The baby may fall while he's only a few months old, a year old or already a biggie toddler. Regardless, your baby will experience "the fall"; the one that will send him crying from the...
Hi.. I am a mom with a freelance job that yields a very unpredictable income (somewhere between minimum wage and zero). So, I am planning to establish an online home business. I am unsure who my target buyers are, but I know they are women since the things I am planning to sell are mostly feminine. Even then, if you are a male...
It's not about how Life is fair or unfair to us or how much we gain from it. It's about knowing which is more important, what is valuable and lasting and what matters in the end. It may not be easy, enjoyable or encouraging now, but please, don't let these moments of strife shake your faith.' I saw this story from a blog...
It's true breastfeeding can be a turn-off and nightly tantrums are something anyone would give anything to live without. I wouldn't, though. I wouldn't change anything about each day with my son, even if it meant I will have to live with the stress of not knowing, worrying and plotting for the future. If you're a fellow mom or someone who has had...
Letting dad do the parenting isn't always comfortable to watch for some mums because they do things soooo differently, but it's istill good for the family. It's natural for baby to get attached to mom, be familiar with their scent and feel extra safe around her, but kids should also learn to trust others. The second best person should at least be Dad. Give...
To young wives who find it difficult to bear some of their husband's attitudes, stay patient and forgiving. A mother once told me, If it were not for the understanding and patience of wives, many families would be breaking apart for the stupidest reasons. I believe that men are naturally unconscious of their actions and attitude towards women. They do not mean it...
THAT'S ALL WE ASK Come autumn rain and winter chill, The pain of spring brings birth and will To work and fail, but still to try. Shine summer sun, the days fly by. Lord, you put a mountain before me, No need to ask You why; But when it's time for me to die, Please remember all who try. May i go softly...
Nobody ever told me that breastfeeding would be painful. I've heard countless mothers telling me about the pains of labor, birth and the after effects of CS operation. No one, not one person ever told me that breastfeeding for the first three weeks would be excruciating. I found out soon enough, though, and I must say I felt as though I was somehow...
