- A crying baby tires you quicker then a day at the office overloaded with problems.
- Playing with your baby whenever awake even if he's quiet is essential for his development.
- Going out for a walk calms baby and mother.
- Never make lists of what you intend doing everyday; it only makes you frustrated when for the hundreth time your little one wakes up and you can't do what was on your mind.
- Time alone is essential for your sanity and the wellbeing of your family & time alone with your partner is also essential-but don't talk only on the baby it defeats its purpose!
- If you are tired and so frustrated your baby will feel the frustration ending himself more frustrated so before handling your crying baby make an effort to relax and sound soothing.
- Dancing with your baby will give you energy, makes you feel happy and will calm your little one
- Asking help from family & friends when in need is not a crime, nor a sin. You are still a good parent but everyone needs help once in a while.
- Accept all advice given to you but go with your instinct. Everyone's idea is good if it works for them!
- Enjoy every moment with your baby....they grow quickly and they change everyday of their lives!!
You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. Acts 2:28

Defining me is like defining the sky. Lots of mysterious and unphatomable levels. But striving to be simpler everyday with the help of God and my family.
