For Mothers:The Most Beautiful Things

The yawns and gurgling of the life that you nursed in your womb for 9 months.

Tiny feet in tiny shoes as it takes its first steps.

Sparkling, wide eyed innocent eyes staring at you as you teach them the alphabet.

Sleepless nights when you grow sick with worry when they fall ill.

The swelling of pride as they put on their school uniform for the very first time.

Hugs and kisses out of nothing but pure, unadulterated love.

The joy of watching them develop into the people you want them to be. 

The sweetest music to your ears when they say  "I love you Mummy."

For mothers, whose whole lives revolve around your children, the world's most beautiful things...

School Blues

Its the first day of school, and someone's got the blues. Not my boy, but me...

It seems like only yesterday that he took his first steps, now he is in Kindergarten.  Pride, and a little wistfulness tugs at my heart. His independence is assuring, but part of me knows that he will no longer just be my little boy.

Well,well...the trials and tribulations of parenthood...

On a lighter note: Happy 2013!

Coming soon, something for busy mothers amidst the flurry of schoolbags and books. Stay tuned!

Mummy's Helpers

Being a wife and a mother is a tiring job. For working mothers, even more so. Changing diapers, laundry, attending to The Husband's needs... the list goes on. So with what little time left for oneself, how does one still manage to look polished? Simple. Multi-taskers to the rescue. Here goes the list.

BB Cream- Moisturizer, Sunblock, makeup base, concealer and foundation in one. Need I say more?

Blusher-Use to add colour to a tired face, and sculpt facial features. Magic!

Aloe Vera Gel- Use as a leave in conditioner and hair gel. Voila! Shiny hair that stays in place. Can also be used on baby/toddler/adult/child/teenager for rashes, insect bites, cuts, pimples, as moisturizer...

Sleeping Mask- Just slather on after your usual nightly moisturizer. No more waiting= More sleep! (I like The Face Shop's Raspberry Roots Sleeping Mask)

Stay Beautiful, everyone!
