If you read or watched “The Help“, you wouldn’t forget the nanny’s warm words to the toddler who received little love from her mother:
Long after we are potty-trained, we still need to hear those words.
Imagine your sweet child suffering from a broken heart. Or worse, suppose she has to endure the pain of battling cancer.
A mother can only hope, pray and beg the universe to spare her child from all suffering, no matter how big or small. But Bob Carey, from The Tutu Project, reminds us that, although we can’t control some parts of life, we choose how to let these events shape us.
On the Easter weekend, I crossed off the first item on my Spring 2012 TTD list: baking the Easter Bunny Butt Cake. Take a look at my version of the festive cake (hint: it’s better than Betty).
Moments of panic, frustration, fear, and plenty of tears defeated by the copious amounts of joy, love, and learning. That is the contrast of motherhood. This brings me to my first Sour n’ Sweet post (I like to end things on a good note): a look at my mommy moments of the week.
So you’ve heard of bucket lists: the fun kind of TTD list that you aim to accomplish before you die. Well, I’ve decided to make me a bucket list of the season. I’m not planning on dying at the end of Spring; I just think it’s a great to make the most of it.
Living in an apartment or condo with small children can be a little tricky at times. People don’t like noise. Babies make a lot of noise. It has been a serious issue for our family, causing a lot of friction between us and the neighbours. When the problem followed us from one home to another, I knew I had to put an end to it.
Sloppy wet kisses. Wild curls. Sweet smiles + Giggles. Baby chub. Little Cherub…
Becoming a parent really has the ability to change a person. Apparently, bad-boy-gone-dad rapper, Jay-Z, can attest to that.
Dealing with pain is easier when you do activities that make you happy (no. 5 on the list).
Life is full of ups and downs. When you go through a rough patch, pre-motherhood, you have the luxury of wallowing in your sorrows. However, once you’re a mother, that is no longer an option. Now you are suddenly very aware of how you handle these situations. Children are so in tune with their mother’s emotions, that your pain and suffering can wreak havoc on their little souls.
Yesterday was October 31st; so obviously Mama’s Music Mantra has a Halloween theme. The song pick: My Beloved Monster by Eels. Now turn up those speakers, click play, and read on!
