Children: Our most valuable natural resource.
Barbara’s Son
One summer night in 1966, my mom got a flat tire when driving to the airport to pick up my father. This was problematic for many reasons, not the least being that it was nearly midnight on a Saturday and my mom had six sleeping children in the car. Compounding matters was that my mom was dressed only in a nightgown and slippers for the 45-minute trip to the airport. “I probably didn’t think that decision through very well,” my mother allowed, years later.

One way that my Mum has shaped me.
“You are loved” Said her eyes “You are safe” Said her arms “You are cared for” Said her work *** My mum (like all mothers- let’s be honest) is an amazing person. Kind, gentle, patient to a fault. She has been a constant throughout the many phases of my life. I have always felt a huge amount of respect, love and closeness for my mum. Even during times when I have been a brat, a burden or a downright bitch to her. Mum has always shown me love, respect and support, even when I probably didn’t deserve it. Mum has always allowed me to be myself, giving me space while also offering honest feedback and of course, unconditional love. I’ve always felt that no matter what, she had my back. Mum has modelled the importance of creativity, education, individuality and selflessness and these principles, which I have learnt from her, are ones which I try to use as my guide throughout my life. These values have contributed to my choice not to have children of my own. This is not a judgement over other people’s choices, it is only a reflection on my own life and my reasons behind one major decision.

Milestones and Memories
Many of the pictures in my mind were never photographed and the photographs I do have, help jog my foggy memory. I wish I could have hired some Hollywood cinematographer to capture every moment in the lives of my family. What few pictures we have, come with long stories that make up for the lack of actual photographs.

My Sister Is A Boss Mom
My sister is a boss Mom and she inspires me to be a better mom. I guess that makes her a boss sister too! We've always been close and we love spending time together. We can thank our parents for that and we know we are so blessed to have one another. Growing up, I never imagined that my sister who is 6 years younger would marry first, and I also never imagined she would be a mom first. However, she beat me to both. Reflecting on those facts has allowed me to see her in a totally different light. She went from my kid sister to a strong and capable women in just a few short years.

MAGICALMOM
Million of people write about motherhood, or moms, still this much writing doesn't justify her work, her affection, her unconditional love for us- her children. Who is a mother? It's not always necessary your birth mother is the one who helps you grow, you mould you in your best shape and version. The efforts a mother puts in development of her child is beyond comparison. She does everything for her child's benefit and often forgets her own self. She's there with you in your every fight. She guides you. She encourages you, provides you with wisdom, vision, sight. She educates you. Makes you complete, wholesome. Gives you an identity. And any lady who does all this for a child is a mother. For being a mother you don't have to give birth. Taking care, and looking after the child, also makes you a mother. There are various phases in our life, when it's not our own mother, but some other lady, say out teacher, our sister, or friend, or any aunt, or lady in the neighborhood, who helps us out in extreme cases. Be kind to them, cause in those moments they act like your mother too.

How to Create Memorable Moments with Crafts?
Is it possible to create crafts that can generate everlasting memories? Yes, all we need to do is first identify those that are special to us and develop something that will have a positive impact on their lives. Pleasure is not a zero-sum game. Just because we find something that triggers joyous memories for us doesn’t mean it can’t do the same for others.

Lessons In Resilience And Strength Combined With So Much Love
The lessons my mom taught me cannot be measured as her teaching continues throughout my adulthood. A mother's love does not stop the day their child leaves the nest. A mother still has so much wisdom to share and I never want mine to stop sharing with me. I am not even sure my mom knows how much she means to me but I know she taught me unconditional love. She taught me that I am strong and capable. She taught me what resiliency is and to always push forward. She taught me independence and she reminds me almost every day that I can persevere.
