This weekend, the husband was looking at his vision board and pointed to a picture of the Eiffel Tower. Husband (with much conviction): I am going here! TL#1: Oh, you're going to Paris, France.

TL#1: Huh, I thought you went to Paris. Why are you here?!? Harharhar! Speaking of vision board, I would want to make my own, too. It has been a while since I set goals for myself. Through our example, we hope that our son will learn to practice the value of goal-setting at an early age.

Ah, the security of being with your parents! Then I became a teenager (with a boyfriend) and didn't care much anymore. That's why I want to squeeze as much memories and bonding moments with my kids at this stage in their life. Moms with older kids say that this stage is fleeting. There'll come a time that your children won't look for you anymore unless they want something. I believe in spending qual...
