Tip of the Day

“To learn painting like Rafael I had to study painting like a child half of my life!”

Pablo Picasso

My hubby and I are among the happy parents who did not have to invent where to hide and how to hang up the things in our room for our little child who had just started walking not to reach and break them. Regarding this, Soniya is a very conscious child. The instruments for art (felt-tip pens, pencils, plasticine, etc.) are kept in the places where she can easily take them from. So, it was quite logical that one day when Soniya was 16 mo she tried drawing on our white door. We explained to her that it was not the best thing to do. She got the idea. But for us it was a signal that the little one needs some new space for art :)

But a clear-cut plan scares me and a rhythmical lifestyle makes me desire to break it. As if I were imprisoned by myself.

Of course, not everything is so sad...

Of course, not everything is so bad… :)

And what? Does it mean I always have lack of time to do everything? And what about huge plans? What about the renovation of our apartment? What about our project “Parents’ Ideas”? Quite surprising but already for a year (since the birth of our son) I have been successfully combining all that. How?

Desire – That is What Matters Most

As we all know, one wants what he/she does not have. As soon as the baby comes to this world, he starts absorbing all his mummy’s time. It seems she does not have time for anything else. But her desires are still there! To entertain oneself a bit, to read favourite blogs and to do something, creative, with that old granny’s chandelier… There are tons of ideas but minimum time. And the less time you have the more things you want to do. And the surprising thing is that you really manage to do it – just have a desire…

Listen to Yourself

To feel good and manage to do many things one should not forget to listen to himself. Everybody has periods of high capacity for work. The secret is Read the rest of this entry »
