What is a happy wife make a happy home mean? Included in this post are some helpful tips for moms to better deal with and feel good with daily life at home.
Most women stay at home not because they are too lazy to get into a job or to make money, but because they choose to take care and manage the household, they choose to do this because they want to do the task of raising their children and seeing every step their children would take, some mother would even sacrifice their dreams and aspirations just to make a happy home, that’s why making her happy also is an ideal thing that a husband and her children must do. Staying at home depends on the situation, meaning the decision must both be agreed upon by the wife and the husband.
I remember a short conversation with our neighbor before, she said, staying at home is very fulfilling but sometimes stressful. It brings happiness because you’ve got to take care of your children. You are the one preparing their meals and their uniforms when they go to school. You have a lot of bonding moments together with the whole family, but it’s not all the time that I feel good, she said. Sometimes stress would attack me also because there are many chores to do. Countless things need my attention. From managing the house, keeping the house clean, going to the grocery or market, storing up food, cooking, etc. Furthermore, if there are problems at home, you’ve got to absorb it all.
She is a cheerful person and every time I see her, she manages to always have a pretty smile on her face. I told her, even though you are experiencing all of those, it’s good to see that you are smiling as if you don’t feel stressed at all. She answered, yes because I would not allow myself to be defeated by stress and any problem, if I will turn out to be stressed and problematic the household will be lonely and will look miserable too”. I also want to experience an outside life, but I chose to stay at home because it’s fulfilling on my part to do all of this for my family, she added.
She is right because when the mother is lonely, the whole household will be affected also, and as a mother, you have to be happy for what you are doing because you are serving your family. There will be times wherein you will feel boredom, stress, and problems but make sure to never be taken away by all of these.
Here are some helpful tips to make you feel good every day, mommies!

Sit and eat something which will boost your energy and mood.
Have enough rest and sleep and avoid worrying.

Seek help if you are experiencing a problem.
Offer yourself a time to be alone, ten minutes of self-recharging could lift your mood.
Get dressed, do personal hygiene and be beautiful, it helps to bring a positive aura to your look.
How does it feel to be generous specially to those who really need it the most? This post will tackle about having a generous heart. What does generosity means? It’s a kind of personality that deals with the good aspect of life. It comes from pure intention, to give by not expecting anything in return. As a prerequisite we should be able to feel the love, happiness, compassion and kindness so that we can generously give our effort, time, money, stuffs or food to other people who are in need.
Christmas season is a month wherein we feel most of the love, appreciation, joy and generosity coming from our family, relatives, friends and other people. This season should serve also as a good reminder that it shouldn’t be just for this month alone but it should be all year round. We have 12 months in a year, why don’t we give it a try to make every month or everyday full of love and grace? This way we could lessen the burden of other people who are really in need, a lot of people out there are thinking of what to eat, what to drink and what to wear! Why don’t we share something if we are able or if we can? Why don’t we share a meal to a hungry stomach? Why don’t we give clothings to those who have nothing to use? Why can’t we share our precious time, why can’t we bring a smile to someone’s face? They don’t need expensive clothings, a super delicious food, lots of attention and time anyway. They need something that comes from our heart, it doesn’t matter how much or how simple it is, what we really offer them is “hope” to just go on in life.
It should be the theme of Christmas “To boost our generosity”, for sure God would be so happy seeing all of us helping hands together.

Consider these INFINITE love advices below:
It is important to give each other lots of mutual love, respect, and trust that is loaded with essential amount of compassionate heart and mind.
Note that you should choose to fall in love for the same person you exchanged vows with, remember that feeling when the two of you exchanged the promises of love? The excitement, the happiness, the sounds of your pumping heart saying that “lub-dub”, and the feeling of butterflies in your stomach? These are good memories to remember, isn’t it?
Feed your relationship with a supplemental dose of admiration and pour a never-ending love and care into your relationship. Be the best teammate or team buddy for your spouse that he/she will ever have!
Incorporate happiness, make countless memories of togetherness. Bonding is an essential part of any relationship. You get to know more about your partner, and when you grow old you can share beautiful memories with your children.
Never be tired of forgiving each other’s mistakes, forgive them when they let you down. This is just a normal scenario, sometimes what seems a mistake for you doesn’t seem a mistake on your partner’s perception. What’s important is to inform him/her and be clear about it.
Inculcate in your mind to keep a promise of never giving up on each other. You may disagree on numerous things, but be sure to keep agreeing of never leaving and never giving up on your relationship.
There are no perfect marriage, but there is a good marriage. Note that good marriage isn’t something you’ll just find a long the way, it is something beautifully made and created by two hearts and souls willing to build each other despite differences.
Eliminate your pride, step down to let them shine too, be a cheerleader he/she can lean on. Occasionally, a couple were not equal regarding personal matters, how they think, their financial status, and in terms of professional identity. But be reminded that when you entered a marriage, you are unified and blessed as “one body and soul”.
Is your child curious about almost everything? Well, it’s a good sign that your child is curious, it means that he/she is very eager to learn more things, and it’s also a good sign that he/she can achieve something in the future.
So, here are the ways on how you can help your child to learn more:
Listen to them- active listening by us “parents”, are important to boost our child’s self-confidence, when they know that we are listening they are more willing to share many ideas that come into their mind. Sometimes because we are too busy we ignore and tell them to just continue what they are doing and ask their questions later, this is not good. Just give them a little moment to ask, give them a brief answer and tell them to wait for a while to continue your conversation because you’ll just need to finish something. We have to listen to them and give time for their curiosities for them to know that we are supportive of their interests.
Encourage them to read- nowadays, there are many online videos for learning that are readily available on the internet. But it’s more significant and beneficial for your kids to indulge in active reading because you will be able to explore to them the physical words. We have to be aware that too much screen time can cause eye problems and other related diseases. So, we should limit them in using those gadgets.
Be your child’s teacher at home- we usually here some sayings about “parents are the first teachers of a child”. It’s because they first learned to us simple things like talking, reading, singing, dancing, social bonding and interaction, before they go to proper school. So, we have to consider giving the best way we can when teaching them. Parents with small kids can do visual cards (identify what’s in the picture), music (sing a song then let them fill on the missing lyrics), memory games (read a simple story to them, then ask them to repeat the story).
Praise each effort of your child- small or big achievements of your child should be praise for them to build their self-esteem and will encourage them to improve more. Be excited in actions and in words, but always be honest in your comments or suggestions because they will know and feel whether it’s genuine or not.
Support what they loved- we have to support them on what they want to explore (but, of course, only if it is right and will lead them to a good direction). It will give them rooms to grow, to do better and to develop. It will lead them to be successful in the future.
