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

The Mom Uniforms

By Neeta

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.

    Completely agree that how you feel changes based on the clothes you wear. That is why our elders used to say we should not wear torn or worn or stained clothes. Ofcourse others perceive you also accordingly.

    If there's one thing I learned from being a SAHM and being a Self-Care advocate, that is not to forget that despite being a mom and rarely going out, we should still take care of ourselves the way we always do. During my first years as SAHM, I was too excited to be on my PJs all day-everyday. That didn't turned out great as I began to feel slouchy, drained, and out of life. That's when I decided to change up things and still wake-up to be the person I want myself to look like. Today, I wake-up, exercise, take a bath, dress up, put on my make-up and even a bit of perfume to start my day! You don't need others to see you to look beautiful.-MommyWithAGoal

    I don't have any help at home. Juggling two kids with work is no easy job. I am always in my sweats. So on SM when we see mums stylishly dressed up, it's natural to feel sad

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
