Why our little handprints?

As you can see, this blog is titled "Our little handprints"...
You might be wondering why this blog is titled as such.

Well, I guess it can be narrowed down to 2 very simple reasons.

1. All I wanted was a blog that documents my journey as a stay-at-home mum and my precious moments with my children. I did not really think about the title of my blog UNTIL google 'forced' me to come up with a title....and every possible title I could think of was UNAVAILABLE. Sigh!
2. I finally decided on "our little handprints", and to my relief, it was deemed acceptable to Google. Yippee! I could finally get on with life!  "Our little handprints" was taken from a poem that could commonly be found on those photo frames which immortalise many a newborn's foot prints.

Sometimes you get discouraged

Because I am so small

I always leave my handprints

On the furniture and walls

But everyday I'm growing big

And soon I'll be very tall

Then all my little handprints

Will be so hard to recall

So here's a special gift

Just so that you can say

This is how my hands looked

When I placed them here today

 

I find the poem really meaningful. Children grow up really fast, and before we know it, they are all grown up! I hope that through this blog, memories are made and the children will have lovely memories of their childhood!
