Amma's note: Dear Mom, you are not a Failure!

By
Have you ever felt like a failure? Despite juggling between work, home and kid(s); some days just makes me feel like a loser.( I blame the hormones). It feels like no matter what you do its never enough (or done to my satisfaction). Some days I feel like I've won and conquered it all and then there are days I just can't pick myself up, I get home exhausted or get to work lethargic, uhh the struggle is real. But let me remind you and me, no matter how incompetent you feel, you are doing a tremendous job, each of your efforts count and you make a significant difference in the lives of your loved ones!
Its okay to feel low, take some time to deal with it and gently pick yourself up and be ready to roll. Remember, you matter, everything else(the dirty laundry,dishes and emails) can wait! Take a nap,a long shower, a hearty meal, just anything to your delight.
Tomorrow is another day and I hope we shine through!

And yes that's good news, its part of their growth and development! However, it definitely freaks us out when they reach out to potential hazardous items around the house and that's where sensory play comes to rescue. Include daily household items as materials for play, keep the little curious creatures engaged and have a fun playing session. Here, I've done some pom pom sensory play activity and again pom pom can be incorporated at playtime in multiple ways and today I'm sharing the Pom Pom Drop! All u need is a container (anything suitable from milk tins to tupperware)with a hole and some pom poms. P/s: Ensure the hole you make is smooth without any rough edges for safety purposes.
