Why Handy Mommy?

Handy Mommy could be any other woman like me! It is a given that motherhood is a 24/7 job! No day offs, no vacations, no even leaves and all. To add, life calls for so much demands on a mom - as a wife, a mother to her kids, managing the household, a career/professional life, are just some of important areas that moms have to balance. Being on my 4th year journey to motherhood, I came to many realizations and 'eureka' moments about the joys and challenges of being a mom, a hands-on-mom in particular. The books, hand me down infos, and degree in graduate school are all just supplements in handling the challenges it brings.

Thus, I'm giving life to Handy Mommy. Handy Mommy hopes to help moms and moms-to-be, even dads as well, to gain practical, affordable help in making herself well - in mind, body and spirit. Her sense of fulfillment must come internally and not on other people and things around. If mom is a happy and fulfilled person, then the kids and the family is well too.

As Oscar Wilde said "The best way to make children good is make them happy." I believe that for children to be happy, moms should be happy, recharged and find a balance between enriching herself, the kids, her hubby/partner, the home and other things important for her.

It may be easier said than done. But who said motherhood is easy? That's why Handy Mommy is here...
