Sometimes I find products, places and things that I absolutely adore and figure if we all in this trial and error together let me tell you what worked for me. :)
Are you one of those people who get to work on a Monday wishing for Friday? Waiting for 4pm? That next holiday or weekend away? All the while wishing the time in between these “events” in our lives away? Me too. Sadly! A few weeks ago though my perspective on time was shifted when an amazing new release by Christian Art Distributors landed on my desk -“936 pennies”. From the day your child is born until they turn 18, you have 936 weeks.
Be a good parent they say. It sounds easy enough right? Sigh! I’m having a “woe is me” day – where I feel like a failed parent. (Again!) I have those days – I’m sure you do too. Where all I can do is say prayers for my child. I realised that she is insecure about one of her features, something that she, has somewhere between the start of her school career, and now, become aware of. This awareness that she has is basically that this feature isn’t like everyone else’s. Initially mommy instincts? March down to the school and just bring down the house! Who told her that she wasn’t like everyone else? Even so, who made her believe that this was a bad thing?
Reading to toddlers can be challenging. As much as Daniel loves to read, I like to think he gets this from mimicking his reader parents. Often him asking us to read his favourite books, include him starting us on his favourite pages and showing us all the interesting pictures on the page. In-between which sometimes before we can finish reading the page he’s ready to move on. Last week we received some lovely additions to our growing library, which included First Stories: Pinocchio.
Lately on my social media, you may have picked up I’ve been trying really hard to carve out more quality time with my little girl. Time that is just for us two, without the hubby and toddler. It’s been tough, but being mindful of your time really helps. We received an awesome press drop from Prima Toys including their L.O.L Surprise! Games and I just knew this was something just the two of us could do together!
I think up until you become a mother yourself, you do not begin to grasp the weight of what the role actually is. You can imagine, and you can love but you can’t understand the depth of her heart until you truly feel it yourself. For Mother’s Day this year why not bless your mom with some beautifully crafted heartfelt scripture inscribed goodies from Christian Art Gifts? The “To Mom with Love Collection” is absolutely beautiful in its floral pink detailed design.
