Whenever I
reminisce my good old days as a new mom, I sit in a corner of my room with the
old photo album of my son’s childhood. I don’t need sweet tea or cookies to
feel warm and sweet in that moment. The happy flashback of “mom-baby” stories
in our past come to my mind, putting a great big smile on my face and filling
my heart with love. I believe that all moms would feel this way about their
biggest gift of life, their BABIES. Speaking of babies, why don’t we brush up
