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

How to teach more than 30 words in a 15 minute

When you start to read aloud with your child it improves their listening skills. Listening helps to increase  vocabulary . Practice and repetition make a habit that will enhance your child’s vocabulary. If you still haven’t started reading to your child just start it. Image Source: Pintrest It is very important to build up the habit of reading at an early age and it can be started from our lap only. Do you know why children don’t like to read because they are not able to identify the word. I am sharing how you can teach more than 30 words to your child within 15 minutes. This is especially for the age group of 4 to 7 years. Listening will be the basic part when there is the question, how to teach words to small kids? Most of the time parents tend to rote learning because we have been through this. Ratta, and ratta and ratta, but seriously it will not work at all. If your child misses a single letter of the particular word he will not able to memorize the full spelling. Yes, there are

An accidental visit to the Apple Farm

Image
I am belonging to the west coast and love to roam freely with mango orchards especially in the summer holiday. It was an awesome feeling to have Alphonso mango tree around you at reachable heights from where you can pluck mango easily 😀. We have mango once in the year and yes that “AMARAI” looks awesome. (PS: Amazon) Since my childhood, I always wonder how the apple is cultivated. The same question is now asked by my daughter too. She is an apple lover and I am not. Glad that my child loves to eat apple more than a banana. As I grew up I came to know the details procedure and wished to have a visit to the Apple Orchards once in a lifetime and yes, my dreams come true. (PS: India Mart) It was on Kashmir's visit when we were on our way to Pahalgam . A visit to Apple Orchard was not on our tour list. Still, wherever we went we saw only and only rose and apple tree. Each house had these trees in front of their door. This is the way nature is cultivated and preserved by this society.

Lockdown kids fun activity # 2

Hey all, As I promised to share new activity on alternate days, so here I  am with new exciting activity. I hope you all like our previous one with smilies and have a fun time with your little ones. those who do not know please check the link : http://memoryflies.blogspot.com/2020/04/kids-activity-during-quarantine.html I am giving one by one so that our child does not get bored. This one is pretty simple. Take out a paper, sketch pen and wax or crayon or whatever you have handy. This is a simple drawing. There is no rule that you have to draw this only. You can draw anything like a kite, Bunny, Elephant as per your kid's choice. Just ask the child to take the colour pencil or sketch pen. I will suggest having a sketch pen. Ask them to draw a pattern on each line with a different colour. After that ask them to fill the gaps with contrast colour. The final product is like this. Lovely? Some Do's: # Take the same pattern and sit with your child. #

Kids Activity During Quarantine

Image
Hi, all, I hope you all are safe inside your home and doing well during this quarantine. Our kids are precious ones because they listen to us without complaining, right.  I am telling my daughter that Corona is sitting at the entrance of our lift and hence we can not go out. she simply considers this and never demands to go out, the poor girl as she trusts her mumma. But we don't have an option. I wonder we can do this to the elder one who is still not sitting inside the house and roaming here and there without a mask. 😖 Anyway, that is not the topic of my post. There are lots of games and activities which are flooded everywhere. Are you done with that? I am doing this activity when my child gets bored with everything and finally, she wanted to do something new. I introduce this one at a time so that she can not get bored. You know Mumma, today's generation kids get bored very quickly and they want new things fast. Without realizing what is it, they tend to get b

Carrot Cheese Sandwich

As a mommy blogger, I supposed to post some kid's recipe too. Yep, that is what I always wanted to share with my mommy friend and wanted to learn from them too. Trying the recipe which prepares quickly and the most important approved by my little one.😑   After all, we mom always wanted to feed them “Ghar Ka Khana” as much as possible but in a rare case that our every food is appreciated by them. We all know kids are always a picky eater. The name suggests a simple sandwich recipe, and yes it is pretty simple having only 2 major ingredients and that is carrot and cheese. My daughter loves carrot and so I added that.   You can add as many vegetables along with the carrot. I don’t have at that time so I prepared it from scratch. These are two spices and salt I use for flavor. Pizza masala gives a taste of pizza which makes a sandwich finished in a jiffy.   Grate Amul cheese and carrot, add the above spices and mix well. I used brown bread but you can use an
