My Ozzy.

Posted by: Vanessa on: September 10, 2008

Joshua and I were sitting in front of the piano one lazy morning. I was trying to encourage him to play since my side of the family and his father’s side has talented piano players.
But he wasn’t up for it. He wanted to lie down on the chair and pose for me instead.

Nobody told me…

Posted by: Vanessa on: July 3, 2008

…that I’d be changed forever.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

I was sorting out old photos of myself when I was still single and although I look more or less [...]

Scolding&More.

Posted by: Vanessa on: June 13, 2008

Being a mom is not almost always fun. I have mentioned in my blogs numerous times reasons why I love being a mom; but honestly to be blunt about it there are some things I really dislike (hate is such a strong word) about it.
I don’t like…..

……….the fact that I don’t get to sleep for [...]

Wise Guy

Posted by: Vanessa on: May 15, 2008

This made me laugh last night. Ozzy & I were lying in bed, lights were turned off. He just finished his bottle of milk & he wanted more.
He wanted to nurse (like he always does) I am minimizing his nursing, not totally banning it just yet.
Me : Joshua, are you a big boy or girl?
Ozzy [...]

Mommy-ness

Posted by: Vanessa on: May 14, 2008

Mother’s day came and went & I was pleasantly surprised on how many people even cared to greet me. (More greetings came than my birthday which was a few days ago!) Anywhoo.. That’s fine. Being a mother 2 years out of the 25 years that I am alive has been one great roller coaster ride.
How [...]

Mommastuff Question: Week 2

Posted by: Vanessa on: May 5, 2008

Q: Do you have routines for your kids? Care to share? Does it really help?
Routines for eating, sleeping and getting ready is vital for the development of any child. They will learn to anticipate what is going to happen next thus would not fuss as much. I’ve read that when a child understands what is [...]

Happy Kid

Posted by: Vanessa on: April 4, 2008

I may always whine about having no nanny (nightmare of a working mom) for my 20-month old son for 2 weeks now but I realized; the boy seemed happier these days.

Busy Busy, Busy Bee!

Posted by: Vanessa on: March 17, 2008

I am so sorry blog, I’ve been super busy updating my other blog that I’ve stopped updating you. I’ve mentioned before that this will be my more personal, ME blog. All me.
I will indulge in my being a bit vain here…
Anyway…I’m having a tough week. There’s a bit of bickering between me & hubby. Were patching [...]

Good or Bad?

Posted by: Vanessa on: February 29, 2008

I got this funny email from my dad. Initially, I laughed. But it got me thinking. If this ever happens to me, what will I do?
Will I scold my child?
Click Click,it’s just a .21sec clip,I guarantee it’s worth it!

Prolly not.

Then & Now

Here’s the drill started by Mitch of When Silence Speaks:
If you still keep your baby’s first 3 days photos, We would love to see them. Label them as 1st, 2nd or 3rd day (as shown below). After that, please post the most recent one, one photo will do. You can post as much as you [...]
