There’s a sweet spot in early motherhood, right around six weeks postpartum. The sleepless nights start to ease up (a little), your body feels somewhat healed, and you and your baby begin to settle into a rhythm. It’s a beautiful moment of peace. But if you’ve been through this before, you know it won’t last forever. Soon enough, your once-sleepy newborn will transform into an alert, wiggly, and curious little human who is eager to engage with the world. And when that happens, you might find yourself wondering: What am I supposed to do with this child?
The good news? There are simple, brain-b ..read more

For about 2 years now, I've been in a limbo as to how to go about blogging. My account has been growing and that made me so anxious. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the growth but growth comes with exposure. I don't mind a little more people greeting me but you see my kids.... They didn't sign up for it you know? When people started calling them "Cuddles" in real life is when I knew it was real.
Like, how much is too much for me to share for strangers to not feel like they know my kids?
I wish I could wave a magic wand for people to know how to draw the line and not a ..read more

We are in a time in our history when mainstream media is interested in Homeschooling as a concept and it is something that will be welcome at the same time I don't think we are ready to be open-minded to learn and not be stuck in our ways.
BBC interviewed me last month on Homeschooling and I was so excited to talk about one of my favourite topics.
As expected there were a lot of comments both negative and positive one interesting thing was how divided it ..read more

There will come a time in your homeschool journey when you have to tackle learning how to read. The internet is full of various materials and various methods to go about this. I don't think there is one best way, I think there is the best way for you and your child.
Find a program and stick with it except you find it is not working then find another one.
I found the book "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" through a friend and he was generous enough to let me use it.
With more than one million copies sold, Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons is a remarka ..read more

Employers can now procure services of labour, regardless of thousands of miles separating the parties. This is known as remote work.
This has brought ease to the industry, as this h ..read more

SAHMs spend a great deal of time mentally, physically and emotionally running the household. This leaves very little time for personal affairs. A repetitive cycle of household chores with no personal breaks may inadvertently lead to mental exhaustion or depression. Most SAHMs complain that they are almost always neck deep in home management, that they can't seem to find time for anything else. The solution lies in artfully balancing everything on your plate. How to find this balance is often where the problem lies.
Most people struggle with time management. It is a different kind of ..read more
