Book Cover Excerpts from the heart of a mom

Excerpts From the Heart of a Mom by Jennifer Laurent is a down to earth book by an mom who has learned a lot through becoming a parent. In her book Jennifer shares with her readers excerpts of what was on her mind in the different situations which she faced.

She starts of the book explaining the reason behind writing the book. She doesn’t consider herself the perfect mother and has her fair share of ups and downs as a mother. The excerpts in the book covers various area from practical knowledge to one of a more spiritual nature.

Some of the excerpts include her thoughts on thinking positive and be educated, being open, embracing the power or the mind-body connection and it’s okay not to know everything. You are not expected to be a know all and a perfect parent just be a parent who is truly present for our kids.

My thoughts

I enjoyed reading this book and can relate to many of the excerpts that Jennifer shared. Many a time as a parent we try to be perfect and flawless and in the process set ourselves up for failure. I agree that being there for your child and teaching them that we parents too are human and we do have our flaws. We do not know everything and do make mistakes like our children do.

We need to constantly center our focus and be there for our kids, learning alongside them. It is a delicate balance but it is something that we learn from trial and balance as both we and our child grow and mature.

I strongly recommend this book for all mothers who are looking for some direction in their lives and wish to build up a closer relationship with their child.

Weekend Reflections: What Makes the Apple

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Weekend Reflections Holistic learning, weekend reflections

There are many different things which I am passionate about. As you can see here on this blog there are many different and diverse topics which I cover from parenting, education, lifestyle to my spiritual journey with my kids.

As you can see summed up in the apple above the commonly used terms on the blog. It’s really neat with sites like that can create by fishing out all the main focal words that are being used. Looking at the word filled apple there is really a lot that items that can fill up an apple.

Looking at our kids as our prized apples there is a lot that we can do to make sure that they turn out to be well polished apples and not one that just looks shiny outside but is rotten inside. Our job as parents is to do our best in filling up our GOD given apples with goodness and lots of flavour.

The impressions that we imprint on their minds will last them throughout their lives. It is really important that we give them a solid core and constantly aid them in building upon it.

From the month of February I will be embarking on a new year long journey with the kids in my bid to give them a more rounded education. I will be sharing the activities that I do with the kids to strengthen their cognitive thinking skills, spiritual awareness and academic prowess. Tasks will be specifically tailored for each kid so that they are stretched to their maximum potential.
