by Gilian, in category Family, Thoughts

by Gilian, in category Family, Reflections

Motherhood

by Gilian, in category Family, Women

Motherhood in one photo. From time to time people would ask me how to balance things, how to keep your sanity as a mom, how to be a mother, how to discipline kids, how to be a good wife. The truth is I also don’t have all the answers and each family is different. So,… Read More

While we were playing, I was reminded of how kids learn better when playing because they are more relaxed and not under pressure.

by Gilian, in category Family, Reflections

“Why don’t you just buy vegetables? It is cheaper and it won’t take too much of your time.” I do buy veggies, but this why we plant:😅 “It has been four days and my seed has not grown yet!” My second son said in frustration and hopelessness. “Well, when you sow something, it will grow,… Read More
