We have come a long way, haven’t we? While I am pleased that things are opening up and we are gradually settling into the new normal, I still remind myself to stay safe – not just for me, but for my loved ones as well. Needless to say, masks and sanitisers are still my best friends! I think after the ordeal we have been through, taking necessary steps to prevent the virus has become second nature to most of us.
A silver lining from all this is that we are now prioritising health like never before. As parents, our child’s health and well-being are always on top of our minds – especially when we have infants in our care. The recent emergence of MIS-C in kids due to COVID-19 is terrifying, and with schools reopening, we must stay extra vigilant. Thus, we now have the responsibility to educate our kids on what this pandemic is all about and help them practise better safety measures when they are out of the house.
Last but not least, a Happy, Merry, Wonderful Mother’s Day to all mamas and mummies-to-be out there. All of you are truly queens in your own right and simply the best in these trying times. Sure, we might have to miss that Mother’s Day dinner at her favourite restaurant, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a memorable celebration at home. As they say, home is wherever mom is!
