IT'S THE SMALL THINGS It has been five months of motherhood. It has been a blissful and blessed journey thus far, but not without its major bumps and hiccups. Having said that though, if I were to log a lesson I picked up from every month, here are the five: Miracles happen everyday, and...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS They say your child ends up becoming your greatest teacher. I never quite knew what this meant until now. Almost five months only into motherhood and I now marvel at things I probably would have only glanced past before. Indeed, having a child does not only teach you to pause...
IT’S THE SMALL THINGS And just like that, it is the first day of the second half of the year on Monday. Before we know it, Christmas bells will be ringing and carols will be playing on the radio. Suffice to say, the first half just passed us by. Given the crazy start of the year I had, and...
