Sophisticated Cooking for Moms

Cooking, before, was a woman’s obligation. You see household with the woman of the house cooking like slave for the entire family. She seemed stuck in the kitchen sweating, filthy, and unhappy not until recently that cooking now is treated with class. Artists who work on their wall painting can make cooking an art, too.




It is not just a high class chef that cooks with pride now but moms at home do, likewise. Given with a beautiful kitchen, you see moms all dressed up looking good and classy cooking. Cooking moms now are a turn-on as opposed to looking like housemaids. They cook while looking hot, loving, and so sweet. They make cooking an art which mood needs to be created with the help of making the ambiance conducive for cooking with sophistication. Cooking is not anymore like creating a wall painting in a studio where left and right are just all mess, tainted floor and, stained stuff around. There are things that kitchen needs to have and these are not just pots and pans but maybe a vase of fresh flower on the side or a nice small curtain just above the kitchen sink. Simply put, a well interior-designed kitchen with a mom dressed up to look gorgeous and classy while preparing food is a sight to behold. Add a bar-like music in the background and she is now a total hot chef in a luxurious hotel. Women need this kind of self-pampering while on chores.  It is not easy to be a woman when you need to earn and do everything like she is a superwoman. More than anything, it is frustrating for a woman to see herself physically deteriorating. No one is to tap her on that matter because it seems that society has already been expecting that her beauty will diminish in due time when faced with many challenges over time. In this case, a woman needs to give her face a slap left and right just to wake up and realize how she has been giving herself to others, and yes to others who are expecting and who are just waiting that her beauty will soon be gone.

Cooking can be like affordable art too. It may not be luxurious but with quality of the ambiance and the act of cooking itself is treated as an art while the one who cooks feels so passionate about it, then it maybe not be grand as cooking in a luxury cruise, yet there will still be glamour in the air.

Babies’ Early Lesson

Babies need all their moms’ sacrifice at least in their infancy to being toddlers.  The care mothers give is too detailed more than as how fine artist creates his elaborative original oil painting. From skin care to health and well- being, as well as from clothes to learning, moms know best, as they say.


But as to how generation of children is raised right now, we see kids as early as 5 or 6 already loosening up from the tight care of their parents. As much as we want to keep them tucked to our blanket all the time, they just want us away so they can play free with other kids. Strange but true that they ask for independence as early as this age as compared to children before that kids tend to grow old in mom’s side with minimal intervention of the outside world. And because now is different, moms need to give their 100 per cent during the infancy of their babies. As early as 8 months, lessons begin and by 1 or 2, reading and basic Math is introduced and if possible by 3 art making is advanced from coloring to wall painting. These are all in preparation for their babies entering grade school where the least thing they want to do is to study with their moms at home. Forcing them to extend lessons at home is discouraging when children need playtime, too. With good foundation, mom is secured at least that her child can cope up with lessons in school or can easily catch up with just little review. She knows that despite missing classes if situations arise, her kid will still be at par with his classmates.

Children who are bombarded with lessons in earlier age than usual have a tendency to get sick and tired with schooling early, too. But then there is no guarantee as well that for children who aren’t given informal education at home will be excited to attend and learn in school. Then, might as well stuff them with the basics during infancy and moving forward, after all the minds of the children at this stage are sponges and like canvass too that just sips the colors as the brush works to create a magnificent original oil painting. They can just absorb anything than feeding their minds later on when they are more grown-up.

Kids and the Arts

Being obsessed with arts in any form is just like a kid who can’t get rid of the lollipop stuck in his mouth. Affordable arts are just around the corner most especially in places like malls or even in kiddie hangout places. Along with rides, cotton candies, toys are arts too of different kinds. And if moms love arts, then chances are children are exposed to them, too.



It is very unlikely that mom strolls around the malls without her little boy tagging along. Most often than not, he would roll on the floor without taking home a toy he saw in the toy shop. And if we come to think of it, all toys are beautiful works of arts--- from colors and different shapes blended together. This is why after aside from toys, children love to draw, color, or do something artistic. Toys produce sounds, as well. And when children play them, there is acting on the side. Kids role play with other kids while playing with these toys.—All these are art forms. Anything related to kids’ entertainment is an art. After all, arts are more appreciated in the eyes of a child. People who are more pre-occupied of how to get by in a daily basis or those who constantly overcome stress make art diversion when given the chance but for children arts are their constant companion.  Kids, without being exposed to dance, will automatically dance to the beat, they love to draw and color, too, which makes mommy cry if her home wall becomes her little one’s wide blackboard. And based from the previous premise, surely kids will love to have a mural painting on their wall. This can be themed like fairies, princesses, and angels for girls and maybe the universe or some robots and cars for boys or maybe a huge wall painting of moon and stars on the other side where they sleep and sun and clouds in their play area.

Arts are most appreciated by innocent mind and a pure heart.  Affordable arts or the ones that are precious are made out of creative minds. Creativity becomes at peak when spirit residing within begins to work and only a mind and a heart as that of a child can truly see this.  Kids and the arts go together because creativity is at its peak when one thinks like a child. And as to how a child thinks, then he or she is free from inhibition, free from worries brought by competition, confident, and most of all, he or she follows what the heart dictates. Simply put, as a child is divine, so is creativity which is the primary and ultimate source of arts.

Not all about Beauty

For designer, art like a wall painting is more of decoration. But then for artists, art is beyond aesthetics but a voice, a sound, and true sense of expression. The depth of expression is a direct representation of experience, background, and values of the artists. People may see each art differently, but for its creator, lies within is a meaning that only him or her knows.


Fine arts are not always beautiful. Graffiti, nowadays, are heralded to be a brilliant art despite the fact that for others it is still vandalism. Less is the chance that non-artists will find it decorative. For them, this kind is not neat enough to beautify a space. Yet artists will use such to send a message to the public. No matter how messy or ugly this may some for others looking for artworks for sale, for its creators, it is a sound and effective expression which can be personal but more often than not, it is societal. It concerns an issue that affects a portion of humanity, if not the entirety. It is just normal for people to look at wall paintings based on beauty. Our eyes in fact are meant to see beauty. We’d rather see things and situations this way than looking at things as ugly. But then, the continuous changes in fashion or in trend make people see beauty in different ways. This means that an art that was beautiful yesterday can be a piece that is no longer pleasing the eyes today. Yet the expression such art conveys remains the same. Despite that viewers may interpret work differently, for the creator, as aforementioned, such piece was based from a strong and passionate emotion that was felt while the art was being created.

Emotion—this is a crucial factor when creating an art meant to express. Artists need to take a stand to an issue based on what he feels over such. From this, hand will just follow what the heart dictates. And before he knew it, his feeling over such issue is then effectively represented via his artwork for sale. With this, we know that art is not at all beauty which may not be easy for most people to accept. This also becomes a justification why art is not for all. But the challenge then is how to make a non-artist love such piece that is meant to express rather than to decorate because for every artist is a person who does not understand where the art is coming from.
