When I write a poem or a personal piece, my biggest concern is whether I am repeating myself. Will it become boring to the reader because I keep circling the same themes? This thought can be damaging because the answer I often come up with is yes; I am repeating myself, and the reader will […]

Days Of Our Lives #WeeklyGratitude #SoulfulSunday
This morning my eldest left for Florida with his teachers and friends from school. It’s an educational trip filled with lots of fun activities. He was very excited about this trip. Naturally, I was nervous. But his excitement helped me relax. I have given him instructions on what to do, what not to do, etc. […]
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 […]
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 […]
All about my ‘Me-time’ #writebravely #WriteTribeProBlogger
It would be an understatement to say that I miss my ‘me-time’. I have always, always enjoyed my ‘me-time’, even before I had a husband and two kids. It’s not that I think that I need me-time. I know that I need some time all to myself every day to reflect and refresh. It is […]
It wasn’t funny for me!
This happened last year, 2016 May. Though I wrote it, I couldn’t post this at that time because I was deeply affected. I was 5 months pregnant at that time. One year later, I still feel the same. I’m not a Mother’s day person. I don’t wait eagerly for the arrival of this particular […]
Of realizations and struggles – #WeekendCoffeeShare
If we were having coffee together, I would complain about the hot October that we just bid bye to. I would admit, reluctantly though, that this time of the year was best in the UK and that I miss it, a bit. The alluring fall colors, the leaf carpeted sidewalks, the chillness in the air, […]
When you care for a new baby
Motherhood is an exciting journey. So exciting that if we are not prepared well to tend to the newborn, it may wear us down. It doesn’t matter how tiny the new life is, having a small delicate baby and tending to him/her all time can be really exhausting. So, how do you cope with that? […]
The ME TIME dilemmas
When I had my baby 5 years back, me and my husband were alone in another part of the world away from the rest of our family. I had my husband as a support system, but I was the only one with the baby 24/7. I stole power naps whenever my new baby took nap. […]
