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 10

By Neeta


It is 10 years ! Double digit ! Mr. Hubby and I still can't believe our tiny first baby grew up as a girl. She came into our life on this day and made us parents. Incredible 😊

I remember the day when I requested the Doctor to wait for 15 August. But the due date is already over and it was the 9th day,  so the doctor didn't want to take any risk and  she came ...with natural delivery 😊 It was the most beautiful and emotional experience for us. 

1 year old 

2 year old

3 year old

4 years old

5 years old

6 year old

7 years old

8 years old


9 years old


10 year old 

These memories bring tears to our eyes. Specially Mr. Hubby is attached more to her.  He wrote a letter on her 10 th birthday keeping the tradition to maintain Dad's corner on MemoryFlies.

She was very excited as usual but this time she didn't count her birthday month from January. Hmmm... I guess this is a sign of a growing girl. 

So the birthday girl demands a birthday party only with her friends and does not want to do anything like a small baby birthday kind. Means she doesn't want that birthday cap, birthday banner, candles and doesn't want to wear frill frocks. 


And we nodded 😊


She wanted to be simple and to mingle with friends. So the birthday party was small at home. 

Pappa took off from the office. She didn't sleep till 11:15 on 13 August but I insisted on sleeping so she could have a good sleep because she wanted to go to school. In the morning we hugged the birthday girl and wished by singing a song. My twins were looking at us and then their sister.

I made her all her favourite meals. Breakfast was Paratha, juice, tiffin box was potato cheese sandwich and dinner was paneer burji gravy with Paratha. Everything was YUM! According to her 😉 Happy Me!


Then she gets ready for school. The first time she distributed chocolates in her school. She loved it when the whole class wished her. Every time there is a long list of guests and so I was unable to send her school. This year there were no grown up so she actually enjoyed her birthday with her friends. Kids love to be with their age group. 

I guess birthday parties should be for only kids. What do you think?


The menu was simple. Butterscotch flavour cake, as she wants to try something else apart from chocolate cake. Lots of chips, her favourite small kachori and cold drink MAZA with chocolate along with cornflakes chivda. It is fulfilling and followed by dinner. I cooked her favourite dish at home - paneer burji gravy with butter paratha.

The birthday party ended with a game. They played by themselves and we didn't interfere with kids. My twins enjoyed it too with so much loud voice. 


So the favourite part of the post. Celebration was at a low level but this is the first birthday where I saw her so so happy. The way she wanted to be.


Emotional : 

She is getting more emotional nowadays. If something happened tears automatically flowing from her eyes. 


Physical  : 

Get tired very fast. She is more into outdoor games. She had lots of walks and running.


Favourite food : 

Still her favourite is Paneer,  homemade chicken and mutton, butter chicken, chicken kabab, parathas, etc She loves to have all seasonal fruits. Yep, she is a foodie and so the list will be long.


Siblings Love: 

she is very sensitive about siblings. Handle them very well. Morning starts with hugs and plays.


Favourite activity : 

Greeting card making, love to do painting by watching youtube. 


Favourite show : 

Aau piyu show, wonderland family sometimes, love to watch art channels. Barbie , miss Rachel, cocomelon are still her favourite.


Favourite movie : Still not into it. 


Favourite books :  Geronimo Stilton series. 


She is not a morning person and loves to sleep. She loves to organise her books, study table and her wardrobes. According to her she managed it well but I have to do some sort of checking in between... You know mommy- things 

She loves to study history and EVS.  Her favourite subject was studying Shivaji Maharaj. She still didn't like Maths. 

Recently we changed her board from STATE to CBSE . So there is a huge change in school, studies, friends circle and everything. Yes, I know she is going away slowly because of her school, play time and studies. 

Dad's corner : 

A letter from dad on her 9 th birthday. 

A letter from dad on her 7 th birthday

And we as parents are still adjusting to these tiny things. 



My favourite time : We talked for at least 10 minutes at bed time. Where she shares everything about her whole day. I love to keep this tradition. Let's see. 

Saee turns 9 

Saee turns 8 

Saee turns 3

I am grateful to God for giving such a sweet daughter. We as parents do not have any expectations. Rather we are accepting the way she developed as a human being. Our attempt to make her a good human being. 

Happy Birthday my little doll. Stay blessed and stay happy always my love 💕.

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

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
