We celebrated Mother’s Day at our church earlier and it was a heartwarming celebration as we payed tribute to our Moms. Before I presented a song number, I advised the young people and the children to appreciate their mom by hugging them and by  saying thank you and I love you. I cried when I shared my experience as a mom of my 4 year old daughter. There are times when I am in the midst of anger specially when my daughter did something wrong, but when my daughter approached me and then hugged and kissed me, all my anger are gone away.

Being a Mom is always rewarding for me. I feel extremely blessed each and every day were I get to spend with my child. I am passionate about being a mom and I feel so fortunate to have this experience with my daughter. You get the highest rewards in giggles, hugs and by saying “I Love You” from your child.

I find motherhood a very tough job because you can’t resign, you can’t complain and everyday is challenging for us. The only consolation that we can get is the hugs and kisses from our kids. Truly the payment that we can get from being a mom is the pure LOVE that our kids had showed to us.

There is nothing like being a kid. A small child really gets all the love and attention not only from us parents but also from other members of the family, right?  The young ones can play all that they want and many a times also learn in the process.

The different options in kids toys would blow your mind away. For children who are more interested in the outdoors, a perfect gift could be the kids bikes or the roller skates. Then the board games ,jigsaw puzzles and stuff toys for the children who are more interested in playing indoor games. Kids play toys come in different shapes and sizes and it can all be very daunting. You should  also look at what your child enjoys playing with as this can help you to make the decision about what toy playsets they would like.

My daughter loves to play dough. She really enjoyed forming animal shapes, food and anything else that comes to her mind. Play dough activities are indeed a great way to develop our kids creativity and skills at the same time. It provides them an hours of fun while improving their hand strength and motor skills.

A recent research also shows that using your fingers and hands actually stimulates your brain so when your child digs into play dough, he’s not only building little figures and shapes,  he’s also building his brain.  So whatever you do, have fun and don’t forget to allow your child some time to use his imagination and play with play dough freely!

This is what my daughter usually do when boredom strikes on her. She loves to pose for the camera just like her mom and her grandma. Now we know how she inherit this kind camera addiction. LOL!
