All Grown Up

Posted by girlie on October 30, 2010

I had fun with my kids for 2 consecutive days now. Yesterday was special though because it seldom happens. I’m talking about my bonding moment with my darling boy. We first went to the cemetery to observe All Saints Day, then proceeded to watch a fashion show. Initially he asked to watch a movie but I was able to convince him to watch his Dad work at the fashion show. We watched only 1 show because he got hungry. So both of us had dinner at YakiMix. Man, the line was just crazy! We waited for more than 30 minutes just to get seated. It was all worth the wait because I saw how happy my son was. He really wanted to try out that restaurant.

Anyway, time really flies fast. It seemed like only yesterday when I was carrying them in my arms. I vividly remember all the details from the day I gave birth to them. At first I wasn’t really confident with my role as a Mom, but eventually I became one. I think it’s innate. I learned the ropes of motherhood. I wish I learned how to increase breast milk production at that time because I only breastfed my kids for barely two months. I did everything I can to my knowledge but I woke up one day with no milk already. But I am happy though that I was able to breastfeed them compared to others who were not able to do it.

The Place for all Moms

Is there a reason to get excited right at this very moment? For me there is and it’s because I found a very good website dedicated to all Moms and would be Moms. You know sometimes we get clueless about certain things sometimes, and when I get to that point, I normally search the web. Sometimes I find the answers, sometimes not. I used to have many questions about pregnancy and I had to ask my Mom or my friends who have children already. If you ask why not the web, it’s because I wasn’t into surfing at that time. That was some 15 years ago, lol. Good thing everything is now available in the web and you can easily find the answers to your questions. Like in this website I just came across with, everything is there with regards to children. There are very good articles about pregnancy, babies, toddlers and even teens. It also talks about parenting, health and nutrition for your children. They also have tips on how to go about your kid’s first day in nursery class. It talks about what to expect and how to go about it. These are real tips from mothers who have joined the network. Yeah that’s what you get by being a member. You can interact with Moms and who knows eventually become friends with them. It would be wonderful to compare notes with them and learn from each other. Motherhood is a long process and I would say that you don’t stop at being one at a certain age. Oh before I forget, let me share with you the marketplace page. Here you can buy, swap or sell stuff. It’s like posting a classified ad. This way you get to save since times are hard nowadays. We Moms should find ways to stretch the budget most of the time. Well I don’t really mind buying slightly used stuff if I can save a lot. Yeah you can say that I am a wise Mommy. So to all Moms out there, you know where to go now.
