It’s all about how you spend your leisure time with your son. What do you guys do? What is it that recharges your energy for the rest of the day? After being a mother, a woman’s life is centered on her son. She has to think about her kid all the time. But mothers are superhuman. They also found their leisure with their son. It can be singing together, dancing together, painting together, playing together anything. Anything that makes them energy.

9.Embracing Mom’s Profession

Choosing a career and sticking with that is a personal choice and preference. But when you become a mother your first priority becomes your child. You let yourself stay in the place where your child would feel safe and have mother’s love and care. But that might not stop you from being a supermom. Balancing work and personal life together. So why not speak it up proudly? Why not showcase this beauty? You can take pictures of yourself in your working environment or something that resembles your profession and have your child in the frame. Let your kid know, mummy is doing important work. Mommy needs to work and you should acknowledge that.

Sometimes I wonder, what would I look like as a mother? What would be my picture of a working mom?

Profession

I guess it would be something similar to this. Well, let me keep wondering but don’t have to. Grab your uniform and grab your son. And take pictures with pride.

10.Dress Like Your Favorite Character

Children have a very strong imaginative power compared to adults. They love to create an imaginary world of their own. They love to travel in that imagination. Mostly they create this imaginative world based on what they are watching and thinking on a daily basis. But those imaginations fade away as soon as they grow up. You can capture those cute moments. It’s also fun to recreate them.
