Know Your Milk

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! Breastfeeding has always been tagged as being the “BEST” for babies. Breastmilk is specially designed for your baby. The bond that you formed from pregnancy to birth continues on to breastfeeding. Your milk is the most complete and nutritious food for your newborn. Although breastfeeding comes so naturally to moms, not everyone is as lucky. The best weapon is information. Educate yourself on the many aspects of breastfeeding.

Let us first tackle what happens right after you give birth. Do you have milk right away? Can you use your breast pump immediately? Why doesn’t any milk come out?

The Boy After My Own Heart

I always make it a point to write a love letter to each of my children every time they celebrate their birthdays. This way, I will be able to record what each year has done on them growing up and how emotions were at this present moment. I’m writing this to this one ridiculously adorable ball of sunshine, guaranteed to put a smile on my face no matter what time he decides to rise and shine — the boy after my own heart.

Songs That Mean More to Me Since I Became a Mom

Songs That Mean More to Me Since I Became a Mom

It’s true what they say that when you become a mom, you become more emotional. Maybe it’s the hormones, but a lot of it may be contributed to the completely new life that being a mom brings. For one, you see moms in a different light that you are one, too. You learn to appreciate all the hard work, sacrifices, and triumphs that make up motherhood and parenting. For me, some songs began to have meaning in my life since becoming a mom.

Mothers have always been appreciated in many ways over from the beginning of time. Music is another aspect of art that does not hold back in showing mothers how much they are loved and appreciated.

You can definitely relate more to these songs now that you are a mom too. Don’t worry, we won’t judge if you shed a tear or two (or more sob!).  Click NEXT for those songs!

What Does It Mean to be a Father A Tribute to Our Dearest Fathers

Father’s Day is commemorated every month of June and at this time, we show respect and honor to our dearly beloved Fathers. Biological or not, the fathers whom we have known since we were kids have been part of our being. We grow as they grow. And as they get older, they become more remarkable, no matter their ways.

Each of us is raised differently from one another by a Father; someone, whom regardless of kinship or gender, stood courageously to fulfill the responsibilities of one.

Let me start this entry with these questions:

What is a Father? Who is he? What does he do?

Does he really love you? 15 Definite Signs That He Truly Loves You

by
Does he really love you

” Love is such a beautiful thing.”

I got that line from Bee Gees song, Too Much Heaven. And truly, nothing can be more heavenly than feeling how true love feels, the way it awakens your senses, the way it just makes your heart jump with joy and excitement and yearning.

But ironically, love can also be scary. It can be compared to an abyss that is filled with mystery. We won’t know unless we’re at it.

I am writing this now because lately, my heart had been clouded with emotions. When you activate your mind, sometimes, the heart is just too strong and forceful you can’t shun it. It’s easy for elder people to say we have to guard our hearts and take care of it. But in a different scenario, how can we really guard our heart especially if the current key to it is the same person that could shatter it? Is there a way out?
