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

Saee turns 8

By Neeta

As soon as New Year starts we used to count months 😀. We mean Saee used to eagerly wait for her birthday month and we as parents love to see her eagerness and excitement. Birthday is one of the special things in kid’s life and hence celebration should be memorable. It is not necessary to throw a big birthday party but try to make it fill with lots of love.  We love to do all such things on her birthday which she likes, apparently, we are blessed to have such a mature girl who is not that demanding. Her tiny demands are so special. 

 


Saee turned 8 in this month which is half teen 😊 and it sounds crazy for us. She first time demand a surprise birthday party and me and Mr. Hubby struggling what kind of surprise we should give her and the most important thing she should like. When we asked she said, mumma, I want surprise and why you are asking me? 😝so stupid I am !



Her birthday was on 14th August 2021 and so she already clear about her birthday gift. Ha, ha, ha, yes, she is blessed to have her KAKA (uncle) who fulfilled her gift demand. She is not stubborn but it is a ritual for the last 7 years. They used to ask her what she wants and she gives out the list. 


For the last two to three years, she is getting a designer dress 😊by her favorite mai (Aunt). Saee used to ask her in the month of May only. Browse different types of dresses and demand her masi to make the same one. We are blessed to have Masi like her, who loves her very much.

This time we decorate the house with letters balloons. Due to social media kids used to know the birthday decoration. Neither she demand nor she cried for that but yes once she said to her papa, we should decorate like this, that's it… her papa then on air. You all know how much he loves Saee.

 


So this is the decoration. As I told, her birthday party is a family get-together. So this is our big family. Grandparents and Uncle.





Tiny little friends who enjoyed it a lot. 



We had a coloring activity and then a small game. 



Fold the eye and drew the tail of the elephant (On her demand only). Not only kids but we adults also enjoy this game.



So time for the SPECIAL SURPRISE of the birthday. 

This doll cake - on her demand, I made it for the first time.



I bought 8 gifts for her and hide them in the house. On her birthday we asked her to find the gifts. Trust me this was her favorite surprise she liked it so much.  We check her patience and then finally her papa gave her a little bit clue. She was so much happy to see this tiny girly gift.  It is the end of August month and still, she asked me how do you manage to hide from me and how do you think about this gift?

 


The third surprise was the decoration and her grandparents. 




She was sad as her favorite mama and mami not able to join her. That was another surprise we planned for her but due to some reason, it didn’t happen. Never mind.



Finally Mission Successful!😎😎

 


And now lovely facts about my 8-year doll. 



She is a quiet child but sometimes her frustration goes on a high peak. Generally, she is not an angry person but yes she is kind-hearted and her confidence goes on high when attempting a new task. 



Love the way she guides her papa by telling how things work 😁. Conversation between her and her dad is always melting my heart. Both of them used to talk for an hour and I still wonder what they are talking about?

Her love language is physical touch, snuggling, kisses, and hugs. 

She is a determined and decision-maker. She loves to choose the things for her and very firm on her choice.



Currently, her favorite activity is playing with playdough, puzzles, and of course dance. (Thanks to her School )

She always had lots of questions in her mind. Like how the clock works? How our army works? Why earthquake is there and then what will happen? And many more…husshhh…!

She loves to indulge in a new vocabulary as she is always curious to know new words. Sometimes I used Google.

Being a girl she doesn’t like to wear any make-up 😇 This is something that surprises me. Her love is only to polish the nails and that’s it. She doesn’t like to wear lipstick, eyeliner, or anything. Seriously sometimes I insist to have especially for function but she said a big NO and I respect her choice.

She loves to help me in the kitchen. Always ready to bake a cake and cookies with me. She knows each measuring cup and ingredient too. My little chef is adorable. Always eager to learn cooking. The first time she made an omelet all by herself under my supervision for her dad. She wants to give a lunch box to her dad. 😍

She loves to read and also loves to read aloud with me most of the time. She gets eager to know what happens next in the story and gets so hyper and insists to tell me what is in the story?

I adore it when she used to read in the quiet time in the afternoon. Yes, she has a small amount of sleep like me.


Height has been increasing up to my shoulder (this is something memorable instead of writing in numbers). Want to wear all my clothes. Surprised to see her maturity level and wondering how can she achieve all this?

Her favorite food is Sabudana Wada, omelet, chicken and Paneer. Do I mention she loves chicken biryani too?


Mumma and Pappa love you our babrie doll.  We love watching you grow!

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

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
