"notjustmommying" Memes and Quotes

I would read endlessly before I got married. Watching movies was never my thing, but reading and writing was something that took me to a world of my own; but then life happened!! I got married, reading never happened, I kept amassing all the good books I could put my hands on and writing was like a dream. forget creative writing, I had to think hard to comment on people's facebook post!

It was when I conceived and took a break from work, I began reading, writing (letters to the baby to come) and follow my passion for craft and hand-building pottery. My baby became my inspiration for all things creative.

Motherhood is maddening and from that madness I derived my passion; since there is no escape from this insanity, you start feeling funny about the new changes that life brings to you. the sleeplessness, the exhaustion, the spit-ups, the poop explosions and what not! The humour in this parenting journey can only be understood by parents.

Here I bring to you some of the memes and quotes( the quotes could be mine or taken from place else, with due credits to the original writers).

Stay at home mothers Vs Working mothers- Bloggers' marathon entry

Stay at home Vs Working Moms First of all, let me tweak the topic a bit; let me make it Stay at home moms and Working moms; let’s talk about the lives they lead, the challenges they face, the sacrifices they make and the rewards they take; for once let us NOT compare them. Versus often written as vs. is a Latin word meaning 'against' or it may mean to have a comparison or a competition between two teams/parties. Mothers do what they feel is best for their off-springs; whether they stay at home or work outside their homes, I would never wish to question their choices. When I was younger, studying and working, I couldn’t ever imagine myself not working or staying at home, changing diapers, feeding the baby and worrying about the piles of laundry and what to cook next. I could not visualize it because I have been brought up in a family where everyone worked and earned. My father has always insisted that women be financially independent. He has helped distant relative...

Musical Bonding - A Playful and Innovative Music Class for Parent & Child

If you have followed my blog-series on music, you would already know what I am talking about. Musical bonding holds a very special place for us and we have found our emotional connect to it; so, my series wouldn't be complete without a dedicated post on it. To get a better understanding of this parent -child programme for all my readers, I spoke to Aditi Shah, founder of Musical Bonding and here is what she has to say about one of her babies- "MB"!! How did you come up with a programme that is so unique to Indian market? Musical Bonding did not happen as a planned programme for the Indian market. The music provided by The Music Class allowed us (my husband and me) to have lots of fun with our two kids, singing, dancing and learning. Musical Bonding started as a simple attempt to make some friends in a new country and for the benefit of my own kids. Why Music, what does music mean to you? I have background in Indian classical music and k...

How to help your baby with speech?

"Nov you" "Owe you" Yes, I am waiting for my little man to say that, since he hasn't yet said "love you" to me, I am only guessing the sound of it (knowing he doesn't say "La" still) Like everything that happened on its own time, this too shall. In my previous post ( Click here) I shared some bits from my baby's vocabulary and speech journey, each day I have something new to listen to and it only makes my smile wider. A child has her/his own time to meet the milestones, there is no magic wand to have them up n running and dancing and singing. Out of all the milestones speech has the widest range from 8-9 months to 24 months for their first words. The two types of communication that a child uses are Receptive and Expressive. The Receptive communication means that he/she knows a particular word and Expressive communication is that they are able to speak or express it. For example, a baby may know what water is, but ...
