Things I Learned As a SAHM

Back in the country where I was borne and raised, I don't remember learning to do some arts and crafts at school. That is why I'm no good at it. I can draw, but that's about it! After high school, I started working a part time job....and been very busy...no time to discover or even develop any talents that God given me. I don't even know how to cook till I started to live on my own. Now, that I am married with a child and living in a foreign country, I don't have any choice but to live the way people live here. I became even more independent, crafty, cook, driver, painter, and accountant. I am grateful to live in this free land where I have the potential to become what God wanted me to be.

Bee Mine cards

One of the many things I learned living here in United States is arts and crafts. I can make afghan (crochet), decorate my house, and make cards for my son to bring to school every Valentines Day party. So, here are some of the few items I have made for him.

Things Worth Thinking

One time while I was reading my niece's blog, I came across this post. After reading it...I paused for a while and think.....What would you think if you were me? Share us you thoughts if you may; thank you :-)!

In a crowd, a man cracked a joke. The people laughed hard.

After a moment, he cracked the same joke again and a little less people laughed this time.

He cracked the same joke again and very few laughed this time.

When there was no laughter in the crowd, he smiled and said,

"When you can't laugh on the same joke again and again then why do you keep crying over the same thing over and over again?"

The question made me think harder and harder; my answer was...it is a matter of choice. You can choose to cry and make yourself miserable or laugh because you chose to be happy and not because whatever that is you were crying about "will pass" as well.

What Do You Think?

While I was looking for some images at Google, I came across the photo below. I thought I read it wrong so I re read it again; I read it right and it says " a clean house is a sign of a wasted life." I don't agree with it....maybe to those who live in a messy house it is a waste of life cleaning their abode. To me, I am sorry to say, but this statement means---laziness. The statement should be read like this: "a clean house is a sign of a happy homemaker/wife/mother."

Personally, I love a clean house; so I clean my house...and I am happy doing it. I feel organized, at peace and comfortable when my house is clean and in order. How about you? What do you think of this sign or statement. To some it means a great excuse not to clean...and to me...that is pathetic!
