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

My diaper experience

By Neeta

Many times I have been told do not use diapers it is not good, Meanwhile me, yes ! I know it. 


But with twins there is no other way. Everything you have to do double. You have one potty but I have two at a single time. And in a day it might be 12 times😁 so what do you think ? 



Diapers specially disposable makes mommy's life little bit easier. Can have some kind of mental peace and for me physical too😇 where you do not want to clean the panties or clothes multiple times. And the floor mess is another headache. So I always prefer a rule : 

"Eikave janache karave manache " - (means ) - Listen everyone, but prefer to do what your heart say! 


There are some mommies who also ask me several questions on diaper. I am using diapers for my babies from 9 months. Fact I did not use diapers for my first daughters😊. So, here I am sharing my diaper experience. You may get the answer for your queries. So let's start the post.


Q. Disposable diapers are good for baby ?

Ans: No. Disposable diapers are not good for babies. They contain chemical which is harmful to baby's delicate skin. 

But, if you use it cautiously it will not going to harm.


Q. Can we use diapers for new born?

Ans : Yes, Doctors advise to use diapers. ( in hospital stay only). 


Q. How to choose disposable diaper?

A: Disposable diapers came with every size on the basis of baby weight. Choose the diaper according to your baby weight. It will fit exactly. Always remember diaper should not be too tight nor be too loose.


Q. Is there different type of diaper for girls and boys?

A : Nowdays we get unisex diaper. Choose these so that anyone boy baby or girl baby can wear it.


I am using the above one. These are best diapers for my babies. 

Q. How to wear diaper to baby?

A : On every diapers there are written instructions with pictures. You can check the front side and back side - written on the diaper. Use that  pictorial information and wear it. 


Put your baby on dry sheet so that potty or urine will not make bedsheets dirty. Pick the leg slightly up and insert diaper as you wear a panty.


Q. What kind of precautions should we take while using a diapers?

A : Put the diaper on clean and dry area.

Put coconut oil or Vaseline before every new diaper. Keep your baby diaper free almost for the hour. That area should also get air and sunlight.


Q. How much time we should keep the baby in diapers?

A : As much as possible keep your baby diaper free. Use diapers which can absorb 12 hours. Put that kind of diaper at night time only. In a day time try to change it frequently. There is one line on diaper which indicate the sign of diaper change. Always check that.

Q. How to avoid rashes?

A : Diaper rash is the common problems. But if you take following precautions your baby will not have any diaper rashes.

1. Make a habit to quick change the diaper after every potty. Do not dry the potty inside the diaper. 

2. Always wash the potty area with clean water and soft clothes or cotton. If baby is newborn use cotton. 

3. Wash the potty area after every urine passage too. Means if baby's diaper is heavy due to only urine. Try to wash the area with plain lukewarm water.

4. Make sure to air dry the area. Then apply coconut oil or Vaseline or diaper rash cream.

Then put the diaper.


This gyan is from my diaper experience😀. My twinnies are 9 months old and I am using diaper since one day when they were born. We still not have any kind of issue. 

Hope this post is useful to you, moms. If not then please share with the needy one.

    what I believe is using any product for not just kids even for adults, especially senior citizens in a sensible manner will keep us on bay from many problems. Diaper is not bad but minimum use is always ok

    Every product has its advantages and disadvantages. With twin babies, it is only fair that you use diapers. The idea is to use them correctly.

    Diapers are veryyyy convenient unlike cloth napkins. I think u made the right decision Neeta to use them from day 1. With twins I can imagine how difficult it gets for you... more power to you💪

    Diapers are a huge relief for mothers but must be used cautiously. Right size and of course safety must be given importance. This seems like a good brand.

    That is quite an honest view and it is unfair to judge someone without being in their shoes. The tips you shared would be very useful for new parents.

    Diapers are a huge relief for mothers but must be used cautiously. Extra Virgin coconut oil is best for diaper rash or whenever changing diapers. Bless your kids.

    My number one rule of thumb I learned since becoming a mom and will always advise other moms too is to always go for whatever is available and convenient for you to do/use. While there's much of other's opinion, it's always you and your baby's/in your case, twins, that needs the most attention. Glad you've find your ways to make your motherhood experience a joyous one!

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

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
