The afternoons of train tracks, legos, baby on a bean bag, play doh food in the pretend kitchen…they are chaotic but fun all at the same time. So often we try to document the perfect moments for social media…and these pictures depicting real life get omitted and forgotten. Rest assured, on my blog…you will always…

Mr. Fun Dad
I approached the door and can hear laughter and talking and all of the sounds that revolves around the word “fun”. My husband keeps our kids, amidst his busy schedule a few nights a week, on his own. He has free reign and to be honest, I almost cringe returning home because every snack they…
Afternoons with my girl…
Trying out purple hair chalk and painting hello kitty pictures with my girl. She calls me mama and its tender yet demanding and to me, epitomizes the beauty of motherhood. I hope to never forget the way her big dark brown eyes stare into mine and her sometimes loud but always beautiful voice expresses all…
Can you kiss the what??
The sun finally peaked out, illuminating the once gloomy backyard and as soon as my kids got a glimpse of its radiance, they wanted to go outside. I was adamant as they had already gotten ready for the day and the previous days rain had left behind dirt and puddles and the things that can…
Inside Edition: |Camping Essentials|
My children, like most, love the outdoors and have asked us on numerous occasions to go camping. Over the years something always seemed to prevent us from doing so, but we have always been generous in allowing camping in the living room, toy room and most recently they asked to pitch a tent in one…
And though she be but little she is fierce….
William Shakespeare says it quite eloquently in a quote that fits the 5 pound 6 ounce baby girl I gave birth to back in 2010. In utero, she defied the odds and proved doctors and modern medicine wrong. Initially diagnosed as having intra uterine growth restriction when pregnant with her, doctors told me they…
Bonding over Oatmeal
The morning dew glistens in the sunlight as the rays begin to outstretch their arms into the sky, embracing and welcoming a brand new day. Shutters begin to open and in almost rhythmic fashion, little footsteps can be heard climbing off the bed and trotting downstairs. He stands in the doorway, rubbing his eyes, which…
The burden we place on spouses
This year would be 9 years since I’ve gotten married and there’s much I have learnt and much left to be learnt but the most important lesson thus far is that we are, each of us responsible for the course of our own happiness. Fairy tales make us believe that our knight in shining…

Favorite Baby Products!
As a mom of 4, I’m well aware of the bazillion products available but while I like to peruse baby stores, the items I actually deem necessary and ultimately purchase are few. 1) Fisher price Rainforest baby swing is my absolute favorite. This was gifted to us almost 8years ago and I have used it…
Encouraging Free Play and Cultivating Creativity in Children.
One of my fears of raising children in the society we live in is raising individuals who are constantly waiting to be entertained and waiting for something to do rather than creating it themselves. It is said that you shouldn’t complain about a problem unless you are willing to be a part of the…
Mommy needs quiet time.
The day to day chaos, the trying to stay on schedule, the uproar, the laughter, the whining, the umpteenth time I get asked to explain the meaning of a word, the incessant chattering, the constant stream of laundry and too fast accumulation of dirty dishes….becomes the norm. Several people have asked me if I don’t…
