The Door bell -#BlogChatterBlogHop

It was Saturday, I was sitting near my window reading a book and" lag ja gale "was playing on my Spotify.

                        The door bell

My favorite thing to sit quietly alone and staring at highway. A silent highway attracted me a lot because it was so much noisy in a whole day. At midnight it became silent but not sleepy. One or two small cars were till knocking him. Big trucks made loud  sound and tried to wake him up. I love that silence and old songs of kishore Kumar on my loop.

It was around 12:30 a.m. everyone was sleeping and I felt hungry. So I went to the kitchen to grab my favorite snack item Shankarpali. I was munching and humming a song. Suddenly I saw one lady walking on the road. She wore a white sari and had beautiful black and long hair. Within a blink she sat. That sight was little bit confusing because of the way she was sitting on the hedge of the road. The moving vehicles didn't bother her at all. And  I saw her hair started to roll down on the road. It look like she was sitting by posing her back towards the highway and her hair was lying all over the the highway!

It was scary. I scream loudly and my brother woke up from his phone. I showed him and he also shocked. 

He : Chal dekhake aate hain. Who is she? Why she is sitting like this?

I : 🙄 with the same expression. Are you going mad? Check what time is it? It is almost midnight.

And in the meanwhile she was disappeared! 

Yes, she disappeared.

It gave goosebumps!

"Ting tong ' the door bell rang.  We both were looking at each other and almost shattered.

The Mom Uniforms

A happy Mom means a Happy Home and a Happy Family.

Happiness of a mom is depend on lots of things. Let's do not discuss that because that is other subject. Every one have different aspect and so happiness too. But our happiness  is totally depends on us irrespective of the situations. Sometimes putting ourselves together makes most of us happy. Remember how much we are happy when we dressed up for any functions!

So a little bit change of the situations. Instead of a function you are at your home, sweet home and to make this home heaven you have to be happy. Do you agree?

Mom uniforms - Does it bring any picture in your mind? 

                               PS : istock

When we saw a well dressed mom on social media we feel, wow! Yaar, how can she stay so stylish? 

And then we see ourselves in mirror and pity on ourselves. 😶

Why is that so?

Though she had helper or may be she is doing for social media. Do we need to get influence by her? 

Yes, not for comparison but for well being of ourselves. Don't you think that? Shouldn't we ditch that pyjama or nighty? Don't you think we need to step out from our comfort zone? 

If your answers are  YES, to all above question then you are at right place.

A new mom or any mom when they are at home they used to be in nighty mostly. Are you one of them? If not then I am glad. Because I believe we homemaker also need to dress up nicely inside the home too. 

Why that is needed?

Well, this is my opinion, hope you can relate to it.

# When we are dressed up neatly we feel fresh, positive and energetic for the whole day. If I do not change my nighty I feel sick for whole day.

# When you wear comfortable clothes and well dressed our children see the happy mom and the happy positive vibes automatically pass on them. 

# I feel happy and so there is less chance of irritation 😐 and so no more temper out on children.

# When your child find you neat and happy they tend to be like you. They keep themselves well dressed. This is my experience because children imitate us.

#Well dressed means for me the clothes must be comfortable and fashionable which is according to your choice. Some like to wear frock, some like to wear skirt and top, some trousers, some leggin,  some shorts and some like to wear even sari too😍. 

So make sure you look good for yourself. Only dressing properly will change the whole personality. There is no need to have a full make up and hairstyle but yes surely be elegant and can be ready at any time to leave the home. 😊

Exception when you are a new mom or sick you have to be in nighty or which makes you comfortable.  First 1 and half month I was in loose nighty but afterwards I changed my wardrobe.  I picked up only 5 clothes to wear at home (minimalism 😇) and wear it by styling differently. So

Basically what do you need ? 

A set of loose cotton t shirt - ( for feeding )

A set of bottoms leggings, track pants, plazzo, patiala, jeans, straight pants ( anything as per your choice )

A pair of night suits

A set of tops 

Shorts /skirts

Kurti long /short

Frocks/ one piece

That's it! 

Choices are yours. Make sure your clothes should be comfy and makes you happy🙂.

Sharing some of my mom uniforms 😀yes, I called them Mom uniforms because they are rescue for everyday life. These are according to my comfort and budget too. Might be many of you have the same. 

Night suit but bottom can be used with tops or t-shirts.

Most of us think we have to cook, clean up and handling kids, then why the hell to wear a nice clothes when they are going to be dirty.  I am a mom of twin babies and one 9 year old. I am used to do lots of things single handly without any help. But dressing yourself really make a lot of change. It change your mental state and makes you happy. 

Every woman /mom likes to look stylish and classy right , 

1. So change your wardrobe according to the season of your life and actual season.

2. Be minimalist because you have to handle clothing of a whole family which might be overwhelmed😇😐.

3. Keep only those clothes which you really like to wear. 

4. Make sure to have elegant hair cut which you tie quickly. I mostly stay in bun because my kiddo keep on pulling my hair😑

5. Have a basic make up : Moisture must must and the bindi if you like to have. 

Thats it. You are rocking mom! 

Disclaimer : I am not stylish by profession. I am minimalism mom and a happy (mostly) mom. Sharing my experience which might helpful to many of you.

Feel free to share your go to mom uniforms.
