As parents, we all want our children to be happy and fulfilled. It’s natural for us to want to make special days and festivals memorable for our children. But in today’s world, it’s easy to get caught up in the world of consumption, especially when we’re bombarded with messages telling us that we need more, […]
As a parent, I have always tried to instill the value of experiences over material things in my children. In a world that often emphasizes the importance of owning the latest gadgets or clothes, it can be a challenge to teach children the value of creating memories and experiences. Here are some strategies that I […]
It feels quite odd at times that we- kids of 80s & 90s – who have seen the high of fashion wave of those times- are now all grown up. Not only that, we’re having children of our own and bringing new ideas and trends into the creative world of parenting. When it comes to […]
I often wonder what my kids think about me. Honestly, by now they know, and understand a lot about my traits, attitude, characteristics, shortcomings and strengths.

How long should you wait after asking a question to your child? Honestly, I never gave much heed to this “wait time” but of late I have realized, or I should say, my kids have made me realize that I need to work on my patience levels. They simply say “Mumma, I am still thinking!” […]
I don’t know about you but my thoughts have definitely turned to unlocking and getting back to school. It feels surreal that we’ll get to see our kids, once again, heading back to ‘real’ classrooms, spending time with their friends, getting to meet their teachers and getting to enjoy their childhood in the real sense!!! […]

Me (on the day of our first scan): We are having a baby! Yay (dancing, jumping, and almost in tears me) Me (on the day of our 2nd-month scan): What the….!!! (read: showing the doctor a long list of troubles I was going through thanks to the beautiful gift called Pregnancy!!!) Well, pregnancy & motherhood […]
