I don’t categorize myself as a voracious reader. I try to limit my reading dosage as I had proved early on that I have an addiction to reading which could take over my life forever and ever. But reading is definitely a part of my daily routine. Currently, I am reading ‘The Forty Rules of […]

Reading with Kids
Reading with Kids I love to read with my kids. I love reading to my kids to be exact. Now, to instill the habit of reading in kids is not an easy task. Some kids develop that fondness for books rather quickly, some develop a delayed taste. With my elder one, reading became a part […]
What’s my favorite? #MondayMusings #mg
Kanna was always full of questions. What? Why? How? Where? I have heard them over and over in different forms and textures in these past eight years. I’m sure you will agree with me if you have spent some time with kids, that their incessant questions are thought-provoking, brain stimulating and more often than not answer stumbling. […]
Parenting is not easy, neither is catching a breath if you are a parent! #MondayMusings
You know what they say about working from home. That it is not easy. Well, add a 16-month-old to the mix and there you have it – a cocktail of the most unproductive working hours with tiredness, restlessness, and impatience growing at an exponential rate as the byproduct. Time management is crucial and […]
The effect of a good book #writebravely #writetribeproblogger
“When I grow up and get married and have children, I would read this book to my kids,” said Kanna as we were reading the book ‘Wonder’. Wonder is their current read at school. Whenever they start reading a new book in his class, Kanna asks me to get that book and read it to him. Last year, […]
Nothing but a motherhood rant #writebravely #writetribeproblogger
It was Kanna’s fall break last week. That was one whole week of two kids at home. I love having Kanna at home. He doesn’t trouble me. In fact, he helps me when he is up for it. Usually, we spend holidays by visiting the library, watching TV, talking about everything that he can think […]
Runaway Grapes!
“Amma, you gave me runaway grapes for snack today.” “What do you mean?” “One of them ran away while I was having them, so it must have been runaway grapes!” And so it has begun – the jokes! Do you think he will give it a rest now? I don’t. Linking with #MondayMusings and #MicroblogMondays
A week to remember! #FridayReflections
Last week was Kanna’s half term break. Last week we were busy with Kanna’s daily swim lessons, the visit to the library and the continuous rain. It was cold throughout. And of course, this week came and put the last one on the warmer side. 🙂 The swim class is around 25 minutes walk from […]
#MicroblogMondays – Funny bits from Kanna
Amma, I want cookies. You can give me as many as you would like, but don’t give me low numbers okay? Why is the sky never ending? Why is Mr.Bean called Mr.Bean, why not BT or George? You might have guessed the people involved in the conversation above. Yes, these are from my kid whose […]
And off he goes..
Yesterday Kanna started his first day of Year one at his new school. Unlike last year, he was a little nervous this time. He talked less, answered only when he was asked, made less eye contact, but he didn’t say that he was nervous or anything of that sort. Yes, he is growing up and […]
