HEALTHY DINNER FOR WEEK : MARCH 2024

Image
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

Favourite Toys

Hello there…!!! Husshh….I am feeling so satisfying that my kitchen project is completed. We have a very small kitchen and organization of such small space is really challenged for me. By doing some research via pintrest I am able to organize that one which we like it, but still there are many more things which I need to update as per my wish…hopes to complete soon. Saee’s favorites toys which she did not like it at first and now these are become her favorites. Every birthday she got many toys, out of which toy she did not like that go to cupboard directly. Then slowly I try to introduce her… say after 4 to 6 months gap. Many of the toys were not as per her age group, that toys I need to store properly and will give her once she reaches that age to understand and play with them. This is my formula for her, because in this way she always gets the new toy whenever she asked to mumma and papa when she got bored with the old toy, and we did not buy anything new for her. Nope this

From last three years Nitin and I was waiting for this opportunity to visit the Anandwan ….., and yes its in 2017 finally we got the booking.  Glad to know that there are millions of people like us who wanted to visit the place are in queue. It seems good that majority of people showing interest to social work. However, many of the people still does not know what is Anandwan? Who are Prakash Amate and Vikas Amte? I do not believe in God….but whenever I saw this couple…no no...the whole Amte family, I feel yes, there is God who is present on the earth through this human beings. Dr. Prakash Amate and Dr.. Mandakini Prakash Amate……interantional renowned personality with simple nature. Highly qualified but do not have an ego, prestige and jealousy. They worked for the Adivasi (the people who live in forest) community. Dr. Vikas Amte….the great human being, who work for leprosy people..…do not able to express his work in words. It took a lot of courage to sacrifice a comfo

I tried to capture pic and hope you will able

Designer saree blouses

Happy February, This will be my first fashion post of 2017 especially for girls. We Indian girls love saree a lottt. Whether you are homemaker, executives, grandmother or college going girl…..everyone love to wear a saree. Wedding season is begins, so I thought to make a post on saree blouses that must have in everyone’s wardrobe. Whenever we buy a new saree it comes with the blouse which most probably we do not like. Either it is simple or not has any finishing as per the saree design or it is not matching with the saree as per our choice. I do not like the blouses, which come with the sarees. We need to design it again as per the saree design.  When you go for stitching the blouse especially for the wedding season the tailor will give you the blouse design catalog, which have numerous design that make you more confused. Here is the solution for this. I would like to recommend you to have the following three blouses in your wardrobe that is mostly go with the tradition
