My God, what a long break was it? Getting little time for myself was becoming is such a task. Muffin must be renamed, it kind of doesn't suit my boy, so me gonna call him sparkle! He is such a sparkle to my life. With him around life is so full, and den we had his 1st Christmas, christening, which was followed by a wedding in the family. oh, it was so very busy... Sparkle will complete four months this 9th, wow time flies.Maple is just waiting to carry him around, now that he is getting control of his head, i guess Maple's wish gonna fulfilled soon. Christmas was amazing, though I didn't get into extensive decoration, it was Maple who was in-charge of the Christmas tree and decor. Then christening was in such a rush, we hardly had time for preparing. It was however such a jolly time, we had Maple's bday and Sparkle's christening on the same day, what fun it was! Though sparkle didn't enjoy his christening as much Maple did. But all adults did, our extended fa...

Our anniversaries, 6th one... too cool na. I just cann't get thing straight into my mind that I am married and mother of two. It such a blessed feeling.

I know it a little too late to put down here that,we have been blessed with a baby boy whom I intend to call "muffin". Oh, but it was so much of rush...I am getting back with reality slowly. Talking about muffin, he was a tiny little fellow when born, though now is gaining weight steadily. Its gonna be a month today for him. Thanking god endlessly for the blessing and for getting him safely to us. Maple has not boundaries to her joy. She is all gleaming. Will shortly get back with the nursing and caring experience after a good long 5 years soon!

Hoping & Praying... Yea, I am hoping for a relaxed month with a lot of nesting experience, it gives me so much joy to do cleaning and making new stuff.  I am praying for my safe delivery and a healthy child. God give me the strength to get the baby safely to this world you have prepared for it. Before I go on I have decided to name my sweet kids with blog names: so my daughter is gonna be called Maple & expecting baby would be called baby as for now. Last week was a roller coaster ride for me. As mentioned in my previous post, I have cleaned the entire ground floor off cobweb and dust. Washed all my bed sheets. Maple's visit to Dentist. Organized a sudden dinner for ma sister's family. It was nice to have kids and oldies at home together. Yesterday I organized  Maple's & my wardrobes. And also enjoyed a cool movie & lunch with family. Thing to do before the our tiny baby comes: Pack bags for baby & Mama Tag things in kitche...

My God! Have you shorten the days, or are seconds tricking more quickly! All I know is that it becomes morning, then a rushy day, and cling it bedtime! September is blowing off like a storm; in another 5 days, its gone. Am I feeling it cause I am due next month? or was it really that fast. Last week was a long vacation, rested thoroughly, went through an active nesting mania- I pulled out all the curtain in my house and washed them till they were spotless. Let me share a recipe of washing here, especially for curtains that have been neglected for more then 2-3 months: 1. Hot water 2. washing powder 3. vinegar 4. washing soda (optional) 5. Vanish liquid/powder Method: After making sure that the color on your curtain won't leave them easily, fill a bucket of hot water and add all the above ingredient. Soak in your curtains and leave over nite. In the morning a quick brush in the dirtiest section and little scrub all over the clothing. Finally rinse the cu...

Woke up at 7.00AM (don't judge me, i am a pregger with very lil sleep:( ), made some fresh rotis from the dough made by my hubby. He really helps me a lot! Packed my and makku's tiffin. Off we left by 9.15 to our respective destination, hubby & me for work & makku to school. Work at office was dull, majorly because of my back ache, it has been hurting me for some time now. Finally was at home by 6.00 P.M. Had an unplanned trip to the town, to purchase a baptism gift for a new born, One more member entering into the orthodox faith tomorrow. Came back all tired, but was happy to have a friend visiting our home. Spoke to her for a while and den started preparing dinner, As promised to myself that I shall have a feminine touch to all my days, I prepared some fried chicken with butter and coriander . After a refreshing bath , we ate a tasty dinner by 9.30 and headed to a good nite sleep! Hoping to sleep like my baby..:)

Monday started with a bang! I woke with a plan for the day. As most of the cooking was already done the previous nite, all this gonna be beautiful mom :)  did was reheating and preparing a side dish. I made a quick dish out dill leaves (my baby loves it). We had been confirmed by the coordinator, about our Mar Alvares Youth Fellowship Meet at 7.30 P.M. , so I was looking forward for the later part of my day. However office couldn't be avoided, had some important task to be completed. Once at office, I straight away attacked all my priority work and by noon I was done. I could say that I work rather engrossed cause, i had a bad back ache by the time I had finished. Back was so bad that I couldn't sit for a minute. Hence, arrange to rush home and have a quick rest before the fellowship meet. My sweety was waiting for me to arrive at home, we had a small cat nap and then woke up fresh. Hubby returned early too, so without wasting much of time we ran to get our mont...
