Reliving the Childhood Memories



Reliving Childhood Memories

The moment I wake up in the morning, the first glance I have is at “my beautiful princess face”. The moment makes me feel lazy to get up, so I want to keep cuddling and giving her more hugs. OMG! she behaves like me, who used to sleep only by the fragrance of the mother who’s just lying beside me. 

Do you miss your childhood days? The days full of innocence, kiddish act, stubbornness, and what not? We can't go back to our childhood days, but we can re-live those similar memories with our little ones. 

I can recall all those moments when my mother tried to wake me and my brother up. But our father was always by our side and asked her to let us sleep for some more time. The same is happening with my daughter now. Kids are so lucky in this case. Kids are carefree, stress free, no workload, etc. That was the best time of the childhood days. 

 

Once we grow up, we live with our daily routine, meeting deadlines, stress, overthinking, planning, etc. My 2 years toddler never fails to entertain us except the days when she is not feeling well. She keeps on doing such activities just to make us laugh and assures that we’re responding  her back. She makes everyone sit together, eat together, dance together and play together like ring-a-ring- roses where everyone is taking a circle and following all the rules. 

 

There comes a time when we try to match her latest pics with our childhood pics. I enjoy the moment  when my husband says she is like her. And, I interrupt in between to make sure that her habits are like mine. This moment brings us back to the old splendid memories. Along with that, my in-laws also shares their childhood experiences and we spend quality time all together.


I want to capture the moment and get it framed in my heart forever or just by getting a picture clicked. Not only me and my husband, but the grandparents are also reliving the moment again. Kids are the stress-buster and they're truly god’s blessings. “The way they approach us, the way they find the solace by making an eye contact, the way they make us realize that we’re everything to them.” 


Especially during the lockdown, we’ve used the best time spent with the family forever. And I would like to thank my daughter for entertaining, understanding, co-operating and just being with us. I want to say this to my princess, the best time in the entire day is the time spent with you. I feel disheartened when I ignore you sometimes because you know, Mumma has so much pending work. But Don’t stop making the moments to cherish forever. Here're a few recommendations on games that family members can play together like Chess, Carom Board, Cards, and others

A few other recommendations to play with a toddler along with the family members are like Bowling set, Basketball, coloring mat, and puzzles etc.

A Mother Is the Most Kindest Person

Any mother would agree with me that "The natural state of mother is unselfishness". She is the kindest person on this earth. As we all know about Mother Teresa, known for her kindness. We should learn to be calm and be kind to our kids at every stage of their life.

Don't forget to share " How do you show kindness to your kids"?

I love you Mom


 
I love you maa, not for who you're but for what you've made me. - Radhika

I love you Mom


 (Heartfelt gratitude from a daughter to her mother)


I miss you every single second MAA just after the moment I have become a mother. It’s been two years of my motherhood journey, and I realize I respect you more than ever before. You were always right “ Maa banne ke baad hi, Maa ki feelings samaj aati hain”. Now I listen to you more deeply, now I focus on your words more, now I want to talk to you endlessly. Now I understand and appreciate each effort you have put in upbringing me, brother. Not only this, you are a multitasker who manages the house and maintains relations with love and kindness. There’re so many things I want to imbibe from you. A few are like honesty, patience, selfless attitude, and what not?

 

Now I realize how difficult it is to become a mother. My roles and responsibilities towards life have been increased. I am sorry if I’m not able to talk to you when you need me. I’m sorry for not visiting you. I miss our chai gossip time. Hahaha !!! I know you don’t like chit-chatting over a cup of tea. I understand, it takes a lot of effort, discipline, and patience to raise a kid in all aspects of life. 

Today’s generation is so busy and a little selfish, we often forget that with our time and age, our parents are also growing. We should spend enough time with them to cherish the moments of life.

 

Itna sukoon aur kha milega , jab maa kehti hain “kab aaoge milne beta”

I sometimes wonder how you could manage everything so well. Now, seriously, I admire you. I respect you for being the CEO of our home. You made me realize earning is not everything in life but self-satisfaction is. You taught me, we’re nowhere if we don’t value our relations. 

 

Kabhi-2 dil bhatak jata hain Maa iss ajeeb si duniya mein,

 bhag padti hu sabko dekh kar unke piche,

unka jaisa banne? Unki tarah,

 jinko khud ka hi khayal nahi,

Mana ek pehchan banani hain mujhe,

aapne bhi naam kamana hain mujhe,

Lekin woh pehchan mere apno se toh upper nahi,

 tab tumhari sikhayi hui baatein yaad aati hain Maa”.

 

I wanted to pour out my feelings for you by this blog. I can list an unlimited number of things that I have learned from you. But I want to ensure that I'll put in my best efforts to walk on the path which you have shown me. The two most important are “ value relationships” and “never forget to love yourself”. Now I know what's best for me. 

 Thank You Maa!

5 Things You Need to Stop to Be a Happy Mom

 

Image Source: Google.com


Being a mother is not a one-stop destination. but it's a journey. We learn to explore many things with our experiences. There are a few things that you must ignore for becoming a happier mom. Here I'm with a few suggestions which can help you in being happy.

5 Things You Need to Stop to Be a Happy Mom

1. Stop doubting yourself

We all understand that you’re new to your motherhood journey. But trust the journey of motherhood. Have faith in god. God has already given you the power to be a supermom and raise a super kid. You just need to wear the crown and walk like a queen. A mother puts in all the effort while raising her kids, and that's appreciated. 

2. Stop comparison

Each child is unique and has a set of qualities. So, isn’t the mother? A mother also has her style of raising her kids. We’ll be talking about different styles of parenting in the upcoming chapters. No one knows better than a mother how to deal with her kids, what do they want, etc.

3. Let it go

People will always make a statement whether you’re doing your best. They always have something to say. A few people don't want to see you and your kid growing, they feel jealous. But let this not affect your inner voice of a mother. It all depends on you how you respond to it. You can always take suggestions from others, but your heart knows the best for your child. Do you agree? You can practice meditation to learn the art of letting it go. It’ll make you feel calm and more confident. Let your child also know their mother is the strongest.

 

4.   Stop feeling lonely

A mother becomes over-possessive when it is about her kids. But don’t let this make you feel arrogant or misunderstood by others. Don’t be restricted to the home, kids, and household responsibilities. Starting socializing with other mothers is a great way to learn from each other’s experiences.

5.   Stop worrying and start living

One understands that it’s your life. It might be a long time that you might miss your ‘old self’, the dress up, the happy you, and the confidence you, etc, but now stop pleasing others. You need to set “me-time” and do what you love the most. You need to set your priorities, but the first priority is you. Make a list of the things you always wanted to do. Set up your day well to keep things organized.

 

So, Mumma!

 

What’re you waiting for?

 

Don’t Stop loving yourself.


Do what makes you “to be a Happy Mom”.

5 Lesson Learned in Two Years of the Motherhood Journey

5 lesson learned in two years of the motherhood journey


Although, there is an unlimited number of lessons that I have learned in these 2 years of the motherhood journey. I’m sure there’re many more to explore. But here are a few which I would like to highlight and share with other “moms-to-be” and “already a mother”. 

 

“A mother can only understand the feeling and emotions of another mother”. – Radhika

 1.   Be a responsible mother

OMG! Responsibilities. Such a heavy word. Isn’t it? You already had so many responsibilities as a woman, daughter-in-law, and wife, etc. but now as a mother too. A mother’s responsibility speaks a thousand words which are not everyone’s cup of tea. Being a mother is not a part-time job, but the entire life you’re on this planet. 

 

The first responsibility of a new mother is to take care of her child in every aspect of life. kids demand attention in everything like physical, mental, social and spiritual, etc. which we’re going to talk about in the upcoming chapters. The first 1000 days play a crucial role in the child’s development. The father and other family members also play an equal role in the child's upbringing. But a mother is the first and the last one who has to be responsible for the same. We’ll be talking about both topics in the upcoming chapters.



2.          Patience

This is one of the most important traits which one must follow. Any parent would love to see and do their kids the best possible way. It fills their heart with infinite happiness when they see their kids achieving new milestones every single day. But they often forget that a “slow and steady one wins the race”. A child can achieve depending on his/her capabilities. We can't force them to achieve beyond it. 

Such questions keep on arising. Now, what’s next? When a kid is going to speak? When a kid is going to recognize things? But this doesn’t happen. Every kid takes their own time, which we must appreciate as parents. We need to keep patience and should go with the flow. It also achieved every milestone in its time and depending on the kid’s capabilities.



3.          Spending quality time 

Kids demand nothing from their parents, but what they expect is “quality time”. It depicts the time you allot to your kids. It might be listening to them, or playing with them. Mostly, it happens in the case, when a father or a mother comes back home in the evening from work. A hug is enough to express how much they missed each other during the day.

 

 

4.          Multitasker

You never know how strong you’re until you’re in the situation. Once you enter motherhood, managing multiple tasks is all you need to be active at. Like feeding the baby till managing the household chores and taking care of yourself.

The priority of a mother is “to take care of her kid” over anything. It comes naturally when you see your baby crying and you realize they need more attention than anything else.

 


5.          Trust your Maternal Instincts

God has inherited this trait once a woman becomes a mother. A mother’s instinct is damn strong and can never go wrong. A child is always in a mother’s thoughts. She knows what's best for him/her before anyone could figure it out. A mother needs to feel proud of herself. I feel blessed when being a mother, my gut instinct matches with the situation. It makes me feel more confident. It becomes stronger with time and experiences.

 

So, Mumma!

 

What’re you waiting for?

 

Don’t feel less. 


You’re blessed with everything you need.
