Things I am loving Gratitude List #2 March Edition

It 's been a year I am having my babymoon period. But strongly feeling to concentrate on more practical things. Slowly one by one because at the end I am the responsible person to have a happy family. ( Mr.Hubby contributing by his way) 

Keeping gratitude and maintaining gratitude list helps me to have happy and positive attitude towards life. I am sharing 5 things which I love for the month of March 2023. 

Gratitude list : March Edition 

1. Family goal : 

One of the family goal is to be healthy and happy family. The easiest way to keep your family happy is you should be happy with yourself and with your surrounding. 

It is quite tough but when you accept that time flew fast and concentrate on quality things you will be HAPPY !  Trust me.

I am greatful to God for keeping me healthy. And able to feed, give love and provide clean clothes on a daily basis to each member of my family. Plus each one is healthy and active. I love to be with my kids. Greatful that I can play, jump,  dance around and with them. My babies giggle and running through the whole house. Happy me😎 

Just opposite when they get cranky I am the one who loose patience quickly because I did not understand the reason. Does this happened to you ?

2. Family get together:

Almost after a year we had our family get together. In Dec 2022 we had last marriage in my family. So there will be no more marriage fun in coming years 😔 

To keep that faith we decided to have more family get together every year. At least once in a year 🤞🏻hoping for the best. 

We had this family dinner. And with my babies we had blast. Yes! With babies 🤣 I am running around babies with turn by turn and did not remember what me and Mr. Hubby ate.🤔

3. Twin mundane

It was most awaited things. We generally remove all hair in 6 months. No I am not following any rituals. It is on when baby get older and I am able to handle them. Pretty simple! 

This time we did mundan in March. Yes, according to me they understand what is going on and with hope at least one of them will be less cranky. 

Guess what? 

Exactly happened the same thing. We thought miss "I" will be cool but, she cried so much while miss "S" giggled around her. 

She watched carefully everything. When her turned came she did not cried at all. Voila! Success.😁

3. Twin outing

Yes! It is quite dangerous thing for me. Because both are continued to run and it is not easy to run behind them. Mr. Hubby excited to take them to Mall. I used to drop out his plan several time. 😐 

But this time we took a chance. We went out nearby mall for our "OUTING" 

Elder one also stuck with me inside the house. So dare to go out with my twins. 

They enjoyed most. First time my twins travelled with Railyway train. They enjoyed train. Running everywhere at mall through the open space. We manged to eat dinner 😇

Succeed! 😉

4. Study of elder one

It is most difficult part for me this year. Semester she did all by herself. For final too I encourage her for self study but she wanted me to be with her. She started to felt out alone. "As mummy is not with her, mummy do not love her and mummy even do not bother her😇"

Yes! I agree she can feel all these. My attention us totally turned towards babies. Also we took her granted. Motherhood is really difficult. You have to give your attention equally. I am really greatful to God for giving me such mature and supportive daughter. I always appreciate this. 

I prepared Time table and started to sit with her for study. Special focus on difficult subjects like Maths and EVS 

Succeed ! 

To complete study with lots of laugh and able to brought confidence to my daughter. 

5. Decluttering

My goal is to declutter every month. Baby outgrow quickly and if you do not declutter timely you will end up with huge mess.

With twins managing wardrobe is the most complicated things. Whenever I open my wardrobe I do not want to have irritating feeling. So time to time I declutter clothes. Everyone's! Yes, whether it is me, Mr. Hubby or my three daughters. Things got easy and trying to not have overflowing piles. 

Do you know our mental state is depend on these things? All negative energy piles up in such cluttered things. 

My goal was to declutter in every month, every small or big corner of our home. And with God grace I am able to do that. 

Greatful for this as I am able to remove negativity from my house. You try it once and see the result.

Do you maintain any gratitude list ?

Twin Baby 15 Months Update

They are 15  months old now. It has been the happiest feeling when we look both of them. 

They were so tiny when we bought them at home. We both cried a lot and for God sake they were born without any complications. Today we saw,  both are running in the whole house. Continue giggles and that word mum ma, Pappa,  melt my heart and bring tears in my eyes! 

Incredible feeling!😍😍

It is twin update post. 
March - one of my favourite month where air is not too cold and not too hot. It's start of spring here and I love that atmosphere. In the morning around 6 to 7 you can actually feel the breezy air. I would like to go for morning walk instead I am sitting in my balcony for 10 minutes and feel the breeze. Currently getting these 10 minutes is my luck 😀😀 Ha ha ha ! You can imagine a Mom Life ! 💜

It is first Holi of my twin, officially first because in last Holi they are 3 months old😀

Mr. Hubby brought Holi t-shirt, some holi colour and pichakari for Didi. She was very happy and played with her friends. 

Trying to take pics of twins and so make them busy in screen. 

Let's start 

Weight : 

Both were weigh approximately 10 kg. Sometimes feel heavy and sometimes not. We didn't do any check-ups currently. But both are healthy.

Height : 

Both have equal height. Around 2 ft. 

Sleep : 

Sleep pattern has changed little bit. Wake up window is about 4 hrs. And sleep nearby 2 to 3 hrs. In a day my twin took two sleep. First one is accurate after  4 to 5 hour nearby 11:30 to 12 pm and slept for 2.5 hour. Sometimes 3 hr if there is no disturbance from neighbours. 😐 Second nap around 6 pm but hardly sleep for 45 minutes only. I am struggling for this second nap. 

Eat : 

Almost eating everything which we eat. Both girls have breakfast, Lunch and dinner with 2 snacks. 

Most interested in eating Mango, Banana, Chikoo, watermelon, boiled egg, puri, paratha, dosa, chilla, paneer, noodles and pasta too.

Do not like to eat anything sweet and Sour. The facial expression was too sweet while trying this sweet and Sour kind foods. 

They dont like curd, Apple, plain rice, vermacili and bottle milk.😇

Feed : 

Still breastfeed both of them. Trying weaning but I am not sure how long I Will take.😁

Mom guilt! 

Screen Time: 

Yes! I gave screen time for sure. To make my work easier, to keep my mind calm and to make things easy. With that I am looking for new ways to engage them. 

Mornings when time is very less and work load is more I offer screen time. So that I am able to finish  90% of my work.

Talk : 

S started to talk more. She called mumma, pappa, didi clearly. It gives earlier butterfly in my tummy. She learned so fast which surprise us.

Just opposite" I " is not yet talking. I Tried everything but she is only saying daaaa, maaaa, that it! Poor girl going to take long time to talk, I guess! 

Active : 

Too much active. S love to Play with puppy. She is so interested to touch it. Calling puppy by saying bhoo bhoo. Running everywhere when I took her down.

"I " also run with her. She love to hug her twin sister often. Both played very well without hurting each other.

Both love to read books. All my girls are books addict. They jump on books if you offer screen and book. They love to flip, open and saw the colourful pictures. 

S is more interested in reading. She insist me to read her at least 1000 times. And I adore how quickly she learn everything. Mimicking me and tell me the same story. Love, Love this phase.

"I" not show that much interaction. See twins but totally different from each other. She love books too. Both having a fight on a book always.😐

Scribbling :

Yes, we are in scribbling phase. Specially S cring a lot when she saw Didi is studying and so she want to study too. Yeo! Everywhere scribbling, on bed, on closet. on wall too. Though i gave her notebooks, register even made an activity she scibble everywhere.

Things I am Loving ( Gratitude List) #February Ediition #1

Happy Monday!

How many of you saw Venus on this Friday ? I didn't know it was Venus but after discussing with friends get to know. Voila, such a beautifil sight. And then I checked it on a Google. 

After reading many of yours morning routines, mindful living and many tips finally I wanted to have a structure routine which helps me in my personal growth. But with small baby I am unable to set routine. Every day is new to me and new challenge always there. I decided to take a small step, change the mindset and accept this temporary life moment.

When we as a woman wearing so many hats of being daughter, wife, mother, sister it is difficult to keep that balance of happiness and stress. Everyone is surrounded by stress, the struggle is how you cope up. There are many ways to handle stress but it gives fruits only when you adopting it.

I love to take small steps one by one. Out of which  first one is "GRATITUDE "I am greatful to the universe for everything. I can cook, feed, read, write and play with my babies.

I am sharing 5 things I am loving lately for the entire February month. Because my goal is to do mindfully. And so trying for the full month. 😊 

Writing :

Yes ! To keep my soul at right place. It helps me to have emotional balance. Thanks to the #blogchatter in which I participate #writeAPageDay.  I wrote every day and I can't believe I had many post in draft which I am going to publish. I write most of the post when I breastfeed them. 

They sent me this beautiful diary for completing the challenge. 

I wrote small poems too. Check out here and here .

Reading : 

Still I am struggling to read with offline books. I have started to read Harry Potter  from last 3 month, yet unable to have daily read. 

But yes, I do read aloud to my babies. Currently Haathi Bhai, I Love You, Little Why, Bubble Series are our favorite books which we read. They love books too. I was surprised when my 8 months old learn how to open a book.

I read online specially blogs. 

My favorite are : 

Madhu Mam's blog for  recipes : 

For different vide range of topic I like Harjeet Kaur blog  

Not tried Kindle yet. But yes it is on my list. 

Trying new recipe for my babies : 

Blessed to have access to doctor's nutritionist on social media and hence trying new baby recipes. My intentions to make them eat the same food which we are eating.  If you want to know how ? Then read my post on breakfast ideas. 

Intentional Play : 

Playing with my babies without taking any vidoes. Yes, I was addicted to take video. But now I am playing intentionally with them. Took videos only for special achievement of their milestone. And for my page where I shared #babyplayideas 

No phone till 12 pm: 

After 11 :30 pm I have to check my phone due to my daughter school bus time. But strictly I do not touch my phone since morning after I got up from sleep. It was my goal from January and I am able to maintain till date. Success!

And able to cook more to feed my family. 😉

These are on my list always. Reading and daily writing was my struggle. But to my surprised I wrote more post in my postpartum period. Whereas I decided to document twin pregnancy but unable to do that.

At the beginning I keep these goal in my mind. I wanted to see how long I will do it. To be honest I started this at the end of January with on and off. But with constant effort I made it possible. 😊

This is my gratitude list which give me the feeling of content and productive. 😊

I am just a mom with intentions to live life happily. So that I can able to transfer the life values to my kids. I believe kids learn through observing and I am trying to be the best version of myself with continuous practice.

Do you have any monthly goal? How do you track it?

Thank you for stopping by!

Twins Girls 12 months Update

My twins already completed 12 months. I always wanted to document the updates but somehow unable to do that. You can say it is a mommy protection. So it will be back dated. 

Both twins  girls having totally opposites personality from each other. And so there is difference in achieving the milestone. 

For us as a parents it is complete new experience. This time I was very cool and allow them to explore with the flow. I am so so greatful to the God to have such adorable twins.❤

Currently updates of my twins at 12 months. 

First one is "S" and the other one is "I"

WEIGHT :

Born weight was around 2 kg of both of them. Both had attain good amount of weight. S is 8.5 kg. And "I" was 7.9 kg. I was always concerned with that weight but yes I know both are twins and came in this world without any difficulty. Compared to their birth weight they are healthy. So people will talk, and let them talk. I am greatful that my babies are active and healthy.

EAT /FEED

S take less feed and eat only when she is terrible hungry.

"I" have strict schedule of feed and eat.

Both have 3 meals in a day. One Bteakfast lunch and dinner. 

In between they always ready to eat whatever we eats. 😉 I continue feed them our meals.

Sleep : 

Sometimes both sleep on same schedule. Have 2.5 hr day nap time with 3 hr awake time. 

Night sleep is around 10: 30 pm to 9 : 00 am with still night feeding.

Toy Basket

Play : 

Both are equally active and play lots. With pots and tins. These are their favorite basket and currently I have added animals to their toys. Ball is still favorite of both of them.Check out baby play idea on my Instagram page. 

Walk : 

Well, S started to walk at 11 months only.

And I just start to stand on herself. She generally walk with support. Actually both were walking at the same time with wall and couch support. 

But S quickly learn to walk and now days she constantly walking only😇.

Climb: 

Both are very good at climbing on anything. On couch, bed, chair, window frames, staircase almost on anything. 

"I " did specialisation at sitting some critical places like, under the chair, under the high stool, on hands of couch.😐

My goal is to always stick with their schedule. Giving them open space to explore. Playing with them and showing them how to play. Because play is very important part of babies development.

As a parents it is not easy to handle a baby.  Overwhelming information flooded on social media we tend to do many things. But in my opinion every baby is unique and intelligent. We don't need to teach them. Instead of that we have to trust them. We should provide support to them. It is very important to give them freedom to explore the world the way they want. 

I hope this is my personal baby update will helpful to you. And if you want to share anything please share in the comment section. That will be added knowledge to me.

Have you keep updates of your baby like this? 

Till then,

Happy Parenting.
