How are you ? April is started already and how life is going? Steady or with full speed? Mine is going with full speed. Mini vacation are over and school has started. Again we are busy with school, study little bit and toddlers play time. Healthy dinners are the most important part of our Indian houses. We Indian families have everyday dinner together because it is the time where we meet each other and we talk with each other.  This was the scene of our childhood lives. Many of you agreed with it.  But,  In my house dinner time is where we strictly off the screens whether it is big or small screens and talk over the meal.  Dinner is the special time where we all have meals with discussion and laughter so we did it mindfully.  A healthy dinner has always been my goal. Earlier there was a house help when my baby was small but now we don't have any help. So the goal is to cook food at home and have a meal with the family, which is sometimes very difficult. But with meal planning I ma

An Open Letter To My Daughter#BlogALeague

By Neeta

My sweet, sweet Saee,

Tuesday, December 2012, at 12:30 pm. my gynac confirming my report on telephone with his pathology. When she blew her thump my eyes teared up & I started to cry. This is how you decide to come into our lives and our new journey started. After enjoying each trimester I wanted to bring you to this world on Independence day. But at 9 days overdue, the doctor said it was the time to welcome you!

After a roller coaster from the night finally, you arrived on 14th August 2013 at sharp 7:30 a.m.Your dad was silent and crying. I remember my excitement to see you and when I look into your eyes, it was you, my doll 😀but not the way I imagine. You are now 6 years old and still your papa and I wonder how we are so blessed!


You are a loving and happy girl .  It is evident that when you got up from the sleep, you raise your little hands up and telling me to take in my arms. I still love to take you in my arms and spend some time by simply hugging you.


I remember how Divu and Arya (cousin brother) waiting for you and started to dance when they saw you.  It is evident that how your grandfather and uncle eagerly waiting for you and stood at the gate of the building to welcome you. Love the way when you hugged them all and give your love to each one. It is evident that you still hide behind the door to welcome your papa and giggling around him. I hope you will be the same loving and kind-hearted person in your life.


My favorite hobby is playing with you. Love when I hide and you search me all over the house. Love when you prepared food from your tiny kitchen and served me. Love when you want that I should bath your baby doll and make her ready like you. Love to play with small badminton and when you got angry with me by saying, "Mummy, tula khelata nahi yet."  (You don't know how to play).  Love to be your Google to answer your tiny questions. You are my chatterbox and love to have a verbal fight with you. Love to make you angry so that I can have more fight with you.



You are a tough but sensitive girl. You taught me a lot of things throughout my motherhood journey.  Especially I learned how to be strong, how to develop patience and how to fight all alone with our circumstances. You are so joyful that you taught me how to find joy in simple things. You taught me how to be grateful for everyday life. You are a very confident girl and stick to your choices and never regret back. I hope you always have that determination.


My sweet little lady, you always been a daddy's girl (https://memoryflies.blogspot.com/2016/02/daddys-girl) and will be forever. I remember the way he talked with you when you were in my womb and he talks with you till to date in the same way which makes my heart melt. No wonder that is why your bond with your father is so strong. Love when you still wanted to be in his arms and want to dance with him. Love that you missed him when he is away from home. Loves whenever you both tiny giants fill the whole house with noise and craziness. Love when both of you irritate me. Love your manipulations, that how you fulfill your every demand from your papa. I hope this bond with your dad will be more tighten along with the time and your daddy will be always your best friend.


If there is only one thing you remember from these 6 years of your life, I hope you remember feeling loved. Your papa and I love you more than a word can express.  You are the only reason which makes our bond so strong and deep. You filled our world with more joy. Love the way you love both of us.

Thank You beta,

Mummy.

Beauty of Kashmir

Hi, there Excited to be a part of #Speakeasy2.1 blog challenge hosted by Dipika and Ruchi. Travelling is one of our (me and Mr. hubby) favorite thing. We do travel a lot and love to collect the memories and hence my blog is “Memory Flies”   As soon as I read the theme “Most memorable travel” my mind starts  hopping and makes me realizes our all memorable travels. It is very difficult for me to pick out the one. My dream destination of India is the South pole " KANYAKUMARI " and the North pole “KASHMIR” . Thanks to Mr. Hubby fulfilled my both dreams.   Today I am sharing my KASHMIR tour which was in 2018 with small kiddos and family. Traveling in hilly areas with small kids is not that much difficult. KASHMIR the word itself gives the feeling of immense beauty and  warmth. Kashmir is the place that you can feel and rejuvenate yourself. The peaceful nature and beauty of Kashmir attract travelers from all over the world every year. Due to its geographical location, it i

Learning Activities for Preschoolers

By Neeta

Happy Weekend.... Disclaimer: I am not professional; I am inspired by Montessori Method. This is my experience which is worked for us and wants to share with you. Depend on your child’s interest, you can start with the various activities which keep your toddler active and build confidence within them. Saee is 2.5 years now; I think it is the right age to start with her the learning activities. She also loves to play with different kind of activities which mumma sets for her, and asking more and more. Montessori is an education method which is based on self-directed activity, hands on learning and collaborative play. These are the basic activities for the children at different ages and to the individual personalities of each child. The main function is to help and allow the child to develop independence in all areas according to his or her inner psychological directives. I am sharing with you five easy and DIY (do it yourself) learning activities. I set up this activit

Bhatukali in vacation

Bhatukali -How many of you know this game?  I guess kids in the 90s and before that must know BHATUKALI. Still, if you don't know, not to worry, stick to the whole post. End of an era of online school Gyan we learn from our kids :  Be calm, accept the situation and enjoy it to the fullest. Our kids enjoyed the school in the same way (like offline)Irritating the teacher by asking questions like which subject is today? Can we write? Which lesson mam? Are you sending this in what's app group? Etc.  For kids, it was more fun but the truth is they missed school, friends, and teachers. Due to online schooling, we are able to evaluate our kid's performance as well as " teachers" performance. We get to know the flaws and strengths of our kids. As a parent, we should utilize it. Now it is vacation time and still, we have to schedule our kid's day, is it really necessary? This means, nowadays schools have everything in their syllabus from guitar to painting. But still,

Happiness is selfmade

It was 1 st January 2020 when one of my subscribers asked me to write on “HAPPINESS” and I did not write at that time. Because it was a really challenging one. I did not want to spread any negativity from my post. I tried but it seems to be more negative. Then I looked back to my life and observe, what is really Happiness to me? Thank you, dear subscriber. As it leads to me in deeper thoughts.   Since my childhood happiness is not equal to me. Then I thought, “NO” there are more countable days when I was happy. Like I was happy when I had my degree, my first job, my marriage, my house, my vehicle, my kid, etc. I think these are the milestone in everyone’s life and everybody tends to achieve it. Yep, it is a different thing that we want something else and we get something. 😊 This is called DESTINY. You will get what you DESERVE! But, As human beings we tend to think about such things which we are not able to achieve. Might be for satisfaction or passion. It is perfectly natu
