Thanksgiving Memories: Traditions and Thoughts
Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that doesn’t need to be overwhelming. It is a day to reflect on the goodness of the Lord and be thankful for all that has happened so far that year and anticipate what you expect God to do for the rest of the year. It’s a day to chill, enjoy good food and good company.
In Honor of 9/11

Reblog: 3 Ways to Protect Your Family From Social Pressures
Enjoy this inspirational message by Heather Danielle. Go ahead and read if you love Joshua 24:15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as […]
To Those Fathers
Happy Father’s day to the grandfathers, biological fathers, adoptive fathers, step-fathers, single fathers, foster-fathers, and spiritual fathers giving fatherhood their best. We are grateful that you give your best even when it’s hard. Despite your imperfection, you give us a glimpse of the perfect father, our father in heaven. Thank you for staying and loving. […]
This Little Piggy
These days I can be found jamming to nursery rhymes. The little one enjoys watching me jump and twirl while playing nursery rhymes. Those songs are addictive but thankfully there is a lot to learn from them. Apparently, “This little piggy” has controversial interpretations but let’s stick with the happier one. The interpretation everyone grew […]
Hey Diddle Diddle
Hey Diddle Diddle is one of my favorite Nursery Rhymes. Perhaps, I am drawn to it’s simple and illogical content. My favorite lines are “The cow jumped over the moon” and “The dish ran away with the spoon”. In my perspective, the lyrics of this nursery rhyme reveals the faith-filled and oh what possibilities mind […]

A Walking Testimony
From one step to five steps and finally countless steps, we have been cheering the little one along like the cloud of witnesses. DH and I have been waiting for these days. Honestly, I have been imagining the little one holding my legs while I workout and moving all over the house with HIS OWN […]
Reblog- I Dare to Write: How to be a Good Mother-in-law
Last month, I came across this amazing article by a fellow blogger, Tammy @ Grandma Mary Martha. My fundamental thought on daughter-in-law and mother-in-law relationship is this: Be the kind of mother–in-law you want your children to have. Be the kind of daughter-in-law you want to have. Enjoy and Be Blessed! I Dare to Write: […]
Two Lessons From Observing My Little Human Learn to Walk
My Daughter’s Walking Adventure I imagine that like myself, most parents cannot wait for the moment their baby learns or starts to walk independently. My daughter first used her playpen as a safe space to test the limits of gravity as well as practice her pulling up. The moment she could pull herself up at […]
Reblog:The Season of ‘No’
“We don’t swim in the toilet!” No. “Don’t feed your breakfast to the dog!” No. “Don’t eat MY breakfast!” No. “Don’t pee on the floor!” No. Whew! You guessed it: these are some commonly overheard phrases in my home. Life with a toddler- what a season! Some days I feel like all I do is…
From Blurry to Clearly: Infant Vision Development
Four days ago, DH brought my attention to the fact that our little one’s vision has changed over time. He reminded me of a time when the little one’s vision was blurred. DH also mentioned that the little one now has very good vision for seeing tiny things on the floor which he tries to […]
Reblog: Don’t Lie To Me!
If you spent two hours after dinner bouncing and shush-shush-shushing a fussy swaddled bundle because the books said it would calm him and please Lord you just need the noise to stop—somebody else shushed, too.
Training My 10-Month-Old Infant
Some may argue that my attempts are futile as she cannot understand what I am saying. However does that stop parents from talking to their babies? Isn’t it from our talk, describing the world around them and constantly telling them who daddy and mummy is that our baby’s first words come from those s/he hears the most. We are already training our babies in so many areas: eating, using a car seat, table manners, talking, walking, biting is bad and so on.
The Joy and Pain of Sleep Training
I don’t know what to call the sleep training method my husband and I have been using since the beginning of the year. The cry-it-out method??!! I am not sure. This is because we don’t leave the little one in the room to cry till he falls asleep. His father is always with him. I […]

The plan encourages us to model gratitude, be grateful for our children and express our gratitude for the opportunity to be parents. Emphasis on Psalm 127:3-5. With reference to yesterday’s blog, […]

I started this reading plan today and thought it would be better to challenge other parents to join me.

Black History Celebration: Beauty in Our Differences
I, without thinking grabbed a dark brown crayon and started coloring the girl’s skin. Without skipping a beat, the little boy asked me why I would use that ugly brown color because my real skin was so nice and white. I didn’t know if I wanted to cry or hug him more in that moment.
Here’s Why Little Children Stay in the Toilet With Their Moms and What I Learned From It
I think a lot of moms have been in my shoes. Let’s be honest. There was a time you had to or there will be a time you will have to take your child to the bathroom while you do number 2…except you are Hollywood type of rich or have a 24/7 nanny, family assistance, and husband services.
