Are you depressed? Are you lonely? I admit sometimes I feel like depressed and lonely. I am a mommy, wife, friend, child and ooh yeah, I am just human and of course I felt what those normal people do. Living abroad is not easy. Some of my friends are encountering depression. This is serious yet normal, but we must just know how to fight against it!
I found some solutions here:
1. Surf the Internet ---> People can’t live without surfing into net now, by surfing you can be updated of the happenings around. You can be entertained by people online. Chatting, calling and interacting others can ease you loneliness. One thing, Facebook helps.
2. Watch Movies ---> Try to watch movies that drives your interest. Make sure that it is your favorite movie. Call a friend around to watch on together or your husband or if you choose to be alone then do it!
3. Take a warm bath -> As far as I read, taking warm bath can help. The warmth from the bath will have a calming effect on the nerves and will soothe the body. The bath will leave you feeling fresh and positive.
4. Go to the beach ---> If you like beach, it is great to go there and feel the serenity of the sand and the crystal clear seawater (or you can also go to lake, river or pond perhaps)
Hope this can help! Mommies and everyone, live freely as possible. Free yourself even in a little while. Remember, life is a journey and not a destination!
I am a busy mom, when our little Sam is awake then I cannot do anything. I must have to focus on her. This is my journey with my one and only Sam. I want to dedicate most of my time to her! So accomplishing a simple task is most impossible to me now, ooh yeah when she is awake. I know mommies out there you know already what is the way to accomplish such online tasks. The only way is to wait until your kids fall asleep! I only have one Sam but feels like so busy as a bee! Yes, looks like I have a twin. :-) Well, just thankful that sometimes Sam loves to cooperates with her mom (alright, she has only one mom and that is me. *wink*). She is not lazy, sometimes she is beside me and while mommy is busy typing on keyboard! A multi-tasking mom is trying to accomplish simple task at the same time!
Anyway, as the days goes by my dear baby is now growing! She has now a lot of new things that makes us more happier than before! Her dad is so proud of her!
I don't know if you believe that but I believe so. It is not to brag but I see myself a happy person, a jolly one. I don't like giving the negative thoughts an idea for me to be wicked, to be a weak. That is not me. If I have some problems, I have to solve it calmly, not by talking it to everyone to have their sympathy and pity on me unless if it's time for me to give-up to which I cannot do it my own. I call that a happy, jolly one. If it's not what you think or reject my thought, then I don't know what you're thinking. I just hope it's positive since if it's the opposite, it won't give you a lift, raise you up and higher than me that way. Hep!
Alright, beware of the negative vibes, I believe so. "Break the chain connecting to the negative things, negative people and alike" because it won't give us a good life, but lead to destruction, I so believe. Hence, let's be optimistic and lively because our child/children/peers and even stranger will imitate that to us, don't you think so? You know we bond with them.
Have a great day/night mommy/ies and everyone!
Sometimes shopping for a new baby can be more difficult than shopping for an adult. A baby gift should not only be appropriate to the baby’s age and stage but should also aim to please the child’s parents. Luckily there are many baby gifts that are fun and educational for a baby as well as meaningful and thoughtful to the parents. Older style toys are coming back into gift giving fashion-especially toys made of wood. Between their natural texture, beautiful colors as well as great durability, you can give a child the same type of gift that you and your parents have plaid with as children. Wooden building blocks or jigsaw puzzles are sure to please. If you would like your gift to be something that a child takes with them from babyhood to adulthood consider gifts that a child can grow older with such as engraved mugs, memory or money boxes. Such gifts can be further made extra special through personalization with their name, and are the type of a gift that a child can use for many years to come. If this new addition comes into a household which already has one child, many families attempt to give a gift to the older sibling so that they feel included in their new expended family. A big brother or a big sister gift can make a child feel extra special. As a baby grows older and starts to develop its young mind, gift should aim to stimulate thinking and motor functions, some great ideas are a push mower, buggies and fun magnetic toys which will have a child moving and thinking in no time. With so many great baby gift ideas for any budget and age and stage of a child’s life, gift giving does not have to be a chore.
