parents

The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.

#WorkingMumGuilt
It finally arrived, I returned back to work this week. I was slowly (and I mean slowly) preparing myself for the day by trying to be positive. I got the lunches ready the night before and I even got dinner prepped too. I packed both my bag and my son's bag ready for his day at nursery. I felt good about his first day away from me as I returned back; however, I felt nervous not knowing what to expect walking back into an office I spent 16 years being a part of. The drop off for my son was pretty straight forward, a few standard tears from him but he was soon distracted by breakfast. I made a quick getaway and headed to work.

My Memories of Parents
My memories of parents Childhood memories are some of our most precious memories we will ever have. I think the major part of events and emotions will stay green in our memory, no matter how life will treat us. Can you remember your childhood? I am 100 percent sure, all of us will definitely agree, that everything seemed much better than it actually was. That our parents and grandparents kind and loving contribution. They made us feel that trees were higher, colors were brighter, the world was kinder, the golden-aged were wiser, and all the planet went around us, for our sake and happiness.

How to Stay One Step Ahead of Your Children
As a mom you know how important it is to think about potential problems before they actually become a problem. We try to stay one step ahead of everything and anticipate potential situation before the event occurs so that we are prepared for anything. Preparing for the worst case scenario all the time forces us as moms to overthink anything and everything and we often come across as overbearing or too protective to our family and children. As we get ready to head into the summertime there are some small but key things we can do to help ensure that our children and family are safe and protected without being that crazy mother that gets on everyone’s nerves.

The Daughter of a Venezuelan Immigrant in America
When I think of Venezuela, I have this image in my mind of a far away country that I have only heard about but have never experienced myself.

My Father the Invalid
My father has lived a really long life. His first wife died of an illness when he was approaching his middle age. At that time, he had four children to take care of himself.

Conscious Parenting 101
Parenting. A tall order for many adults who—let's just be real—don’t know what the heck they are doing (I certainly don’t! 😝)! It’s one of the biggest responsibilities we have in life. We are supposed to raise a child to be a kind, healthy, happy human who can take care of themselves efficiently. Now how the hell does one do that?!

Mother
To be a mother has to be the greatest privilege. I know it's a lot of work, and probably the hardest job a woman will ever have, but I believe it is the most rewarding one.

Dear Mom
Dear Mom, We didn’t always have the perfect relationship. There were times where I had nothing but disrespect and hate towards you, but you still loved me unconditionally, no matter how mad you were. You showed me what unconditional love is. I’ve learned a lot from you, whether it was how to make Christmas cookies, or to walk away when my love wasn’t reciprocated. You have always been there for me. You’ve been the shoulder I cry on when life gets too much for me. You’ve been the one that I go to when I don’t know what to do. I can’t thank you enough for what you have done, and given up for me.

Do You Ever Recover From a Caesarean?
The truth? I think you never recover. I remember when I was growing up, I wondered why my mum always touched the lower part of her tummy, and it was always cold. I often asked, and she said, “it’s always been like that since having you.” I didn’t really think anything of it, but I think that was because I didn’t really understand.
