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

Holi is the festival of colours. It makes us feel refreshed and we welcome Spring. Holi is celebrated all over India within each society. Holi is a social gathering for joy. People enjoy bonfire, music, food ( puranpoli and mawa gujiya) and colours.  Holi is one of my favourite festivals. Though we didn't follow any rituals but had a delicious meal at home. Preparing puranpoli  and playing with colour is our joy of Holi. This year my twins witnessed Holi for the first time.  We  dressed them very well and took them down to our society to see what Holi is? They didn't understand anything but both were very happy and ran all around the ground. Both of them wanted to touch that bonfire. Mr. hubby and I were running behind them to drag them from that bonfire ( Poor us)! And this way we enjoyed our Holi . As per the rituals I made the puranpoli . we had simple thali with Puranpoli katachi Amati and Rice.  Anyway, back to the post, Holi is known as SHIMGA for us who belongs to KONKAN

9 to 12 Months Baby Food Chart

By Neeta

Having a baby in 9 to 12 Months is exciting. The way he holds tiny things in his hand and puts them in his mouth melts mom's  heart. Then our food journey starts. We wanted to give variety of foods. After scrolling reels on baby food I am also tempted to make the same food and feed my babies. But you all know what works for others does not necessarily work with us. Especially our Indian baby takes a long time to eat the food compared to the screen baby 😉 Right? I have an older daughter who is 10 years old. I have gone through the solid phase, picky eating phase and all. I have gone through the mommy- guilt too. So this time I am not getting any stress.  Sometimes we flow with the social media unknowingly and sometimes withdraw, did this happen with you? I took some ideas but not implemented yet 😂 rather than sticking with mom instinct and our traditional food. Yes! I didn't start any liquid food rather than Ragi Malt. Apart from that I stick with the mushy structure of food

Hello, How are you? Happy May!😊. Keeping my toddler busy and content is the toughest job ever currently. With the help of our didi, we do enjoyed a lot.

But in India Babysitters, maid or cook in short these helping staff have the more attitude. We ladies have to be very soft conversation w
