"The hands that rock the cradle is the hand the rules the world." This, for me doesn't just mean all the mothers in the world, but all the adults who raise children, nannies, grandparents, aunts and uncles, teachers.

So blessed to be a mother

After having dinner and spending time with him (we played Angry Birds and Turbo Fly), I took a bath and sat down to work, keeping in mind that I have to spend a couple of hours before bed time for another part time job.
