Breaking news! Finally earned the title of “Cool Mom” from my little one… Earning the title of “Cool Mom” is an achievement, but let’s be real, it’s not always a walk in the park. Who knew that allowing our kids to have unconventional food choices or embracing lazy summer days would earn us this label? While […]
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. You know I’m not good at the big things. I’m not good at planning big birthday parties, taking these two on a zillion outings (unless they involve a bookstore […]

Okay, so this family craft was something I knew we had to do and there was no better day than today. Because exactly 6 months back on March 21st 2020, it was the beginning of our life together without any dependency on anyone else- no cooks, no house helps, no nanny, no laundry guy- just […]
This is not a usual or routine event that we are all witnessing. Corona Virus- an epidemic, or rather a #pandemic is probably (and hopefully) a once in a lifetime kind-of experience that most of us are experiencing. Amidst the fears and anxiousness of safety and well being of humanity, there’s another daunting (yet essential) […]
The other day I had one of the most awesome experiences of volunteering at my kids’ school for a fireless cooking session. Yes! Cooking & that too me! Well, the idea behind this fireless cooking workshop was to help children understand different senses and their role in cooking. I wanted to come up with something easy […]
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and gift ideas have been just hitting your screen as well as shop shelves! This certainly is the time of that mad sprint to get moms the best gift we can think of. But let’s be real here for a second. Do we really need or want a […]
