Happy Valentine’s Day to all! Before beginning this post, I had an honest confession. Though feeling little hesitant to say, it is true that §  I have smartphone addiction. §  I took the help of smartphone, whenever I feel depressed and sad (by keeping engaging my selves on various social media accounts and writing assignments …I know it is not right. But sometimes I have done this) §  Especially since last 3 year, I had developed the tendency to check frequently my emails, messages unnecessarily. (It is not an excuse…but sometimes living in extremely bad weather conditions makes you do these silly things). Ok…feeling relieved…now move on the main topic…

“All the trees are losing leaves and none of them is worried”- Donald Miller very well said. Yes! it is true that winter is a season of recovery and preparation and during winter nature undergoes lots of changes, and trees and plants stop growing in the winter, they lose their leaves,..despite these changes they never complain, they taught us an important life lesson. “We all often complain. we complain about the things which we do not have in our lives and forget to treasure the things, we already have. these trees inspire us to accept the change, stop complaining, and stay happy and positive in each and every circumstance” sharing few photos of…

Aww…Valentine’s Day is coming. As soon as February rolls around, Valentine’s Day creeps up on us like a high-grade fever. Love is in the air. The whole world is geared up to celebrate the season of love and romance with wine, chocolate, food and song. Couples are busy in planning the perfect date with pretty gifts, spa days and romantic meal offers. Oh! Isn’t it so exciting? Sorry to say, but I had a different opinion on celebrating this festival of love. Of course, I love this festival of love with good mood and enthusiasm. but there are few things that I did not like about it. Here I am…

It was around 3 years ago when we moved from India to the USA and we had a nostalgic and thrilling experience during this time. And our life has turned into a powerful mix of emotions. New habits, new challenges, distinct culture….and of course visiting the new places is one of the most incredible experiences that we had here. This week, when Zainab has given a prompt “what you loved today, this week or this month” as a part of #WhatIlovewithZ series, I got so excited because I love the New York City a lot and this month we had  our “First New York visit tour“. It was like the…

“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.”- Lucille Ball   So true, self-love is one of the most important elements of our happiness and overall well-being. Though traditionally self –love is often considered as an act of selfishness. It has been taught to us that if we are not working hard for our duties and taking care of others, we are being selfish, we are being narcissist. But it is not the complete truth; actually self-love is the act of “love of self” or “regard of one’s own happiness or advantage” that helps in releasing…

Happy republic day to all. It is really a matter of pride that we are celebrating our 69th republic day. Republic day honours the date on which the constitution of India came into effect on 26 January replacing the Government of India act as the governing document of India. It was the day when India became a Republic country. It is one of the most important landmarks in Indian history.   Being a proud Indian, I wish my kids would get a chance to celebrate this National festival with same spirit and enthusiasm as I had celebrated in my childhood. Unfortunately living on a foreign land is not as easy…

Being a parent life is not easy. We always had tons of duties and responsibilities. And these constant responsibilities sometimes put a negative pressure on our relationship. Parental conflicts or parental fight is one of the most common consequences of the frantic pressure that we as a parent faced in our day to day life. Yes! It is true that conflicts are part of a human relationship and as a parent and as a couple, it is not uncommon to have disagreements and conflicts on various issue. This week in “Monday mommy moments”, we are discussing the same important issue as “Is it ok to fight in front of kids?”…

Being a mom is a gift that is unimaginably precious. It is a love that never ends; it is a relationship that never dies. Nothing else can produce the true joy and satisfaction that motherhood allows. It is a journey that made us happy every day. Being a mom and enjoying the sweet tiny moments of motherhood is a dream of every woman. Of course, it is a life-altering experience. It is more than having given birth to a child.  It is a connection that is unmatched and insurmountable in any form or other relationship.  It is true that, “When you are a mother you are never really alone in…

We love crafting as a family. Crafting is the easiest way to explore creativity and imagination power in kids and the good news is that “kids loved it”. Creating something on their own endows them with a self-confidence and positivity. Crafting has various benefits for kids, such as:   It helps in the development of higher thinking ability and creativity  Great boredom buster     For pre-schooler, it helps in the development of fine motor skills    Also, promote language development and constructive response to learning. I always prefer a pre-planning and selection of craft theme during the weekend, for the upcoming week (especially during vacation). It is best to gather all craft supplies…
