Mommy blog on lifestyle, beauty, style, travel and anything in between.

Thank God it’s the weekend! We’ve been following a list of what we want to do, swimming’s been ticked off. Next is paper artwork!

Headed to the yard to water the plants 😂. . . . . Throwback to those days when we were excited to get ready, and we had the chance to see the outside world. For now, let me sound like a broken record, stay home.

We talked about how it seems to be more exhausting to be working from home during this pandemic. Some valid points were brought up during daily huddle at work: 1. There’s always an easy access for work-related matters. We tend to open our laptop first thing in the morning and we spend more hours because we don’t have to travel back home. 2. There are no pauses in between. Unlike in a work environment, there can be some pauses by walking around, talking to people, or getting a “work vibe”. 3. There’s no travel time to work. Imagine the many things we do during travel time to work. Either we drive, or take public transportation, we can play music, see a different scenery, or dine out for a nice meal; these things give the mind a break. 4. Without this current crisis, you have the option to go somewhere else even if you work from home full time; working in a cafe is one of them. This time, there is no other way, and you are not even allowed to go to the park. Whether you are a stay-at-home mom, or working from home, are you feeling more tired too because there’s only a limited outlet? How are you coping?

We play during bath time too. Bonding time does not have to be restricted, it can be anywhere, anytime. Antonia once asked me why I pray in the shower. I told her, “why not, I pray for you to be protected and be away from any sickness”. Just like prayer, making quality time with the kids can be anywhere :)

One of my learnings from this book: The child’s brain is constantly being wired and re-wired and the experiences we provided will go a long way toward determining the structure of the brain. Genes play a large role in how people turn out especially in terms of temperament, but findings from various areas in developmental psychology suggest that everything that happens to us profoundly affects the way our brain develops. Parents can directly shape the unfolding growth of their child’s brain according to what experiences they offer. Everything that happens to us affects the way the brain develops.

Family is forever. We are probably one of those who don’t mind staying at home because the kids are not difficult to please with activities. Shower at the garden, indoor picnic, preparing home cooked meals, art projects to name a few make them busy and entertained. Like the kids always say, “we’re happy together”. Quarantine has this bright side too.
