And for how to make home made ghee-clarified butter from scratch click here )  --2-- These beautiful and colorful bowls.  We have our breakfast in it, dessert in it, serve in it, it adds so much of color on the dining table and kitchen. --3-- My water source at home.

I can fit in so much of food in it and it also had a glass which is s...

My dear sparkle is on move now, and is tasting everything on his way. Poor thing already had two falls while trying to sit. He is more careful now, when on bed he shows a confidence that nothings going to hurt him, however as soon as I put him down, he becomes very careful.

Clarified butter or as we call it in India-"Ghee", has been a part of my home ever since Maple was born. When we started with solid food for her, my mother used to put in a drop of ghee made by her. The story of making ghee at home goes way back when I was studying engineering. I happen to visit my roommates home at Mangalore. Jacy's mom is such a warm person, she cooked yummy food for me, and when I left she handed me a bottle of home made ghee (they had cows at home, so milk was bountiful there) With the arrival of that bottle at my house, my mom saw to it that the bottle was never empty. Every week she would collect the cream from the ilk we used and store it to make clarified butter to add onto the bottle. However, once we introduced Maple to ghee, she became a huge fan of the flavor it imparts to food. Then she wanted in on her rice, rotis, bread etc etc.. With depleting resource from mom, i was forced to make mine at home. Here's how I do it from the scr...

However, she does come and tell me in my ears: "Mama you better teach Sparkle, how to share things with me " This bean bag was bought on request from Maple as her old one had torn apart and now we find Sparkle always on it {Real}  Covering Maple's schools books, she started with her academic year this June after a long summer vacation As monsoon gets into action, I need to give special attention into my Sunshine...

No I am not complaining! I had a very nice weekend. Many of my to do list things done. Above all, Sparkle is all fine and happy. Talking about weekend, I bought in my monthly supplies within my budget Made the brownies I mentioned in my last post (Maple loved it) Revived an old shoe rack. Deep Cleaned my Bathroom using idea from here   and greatest feeling of fulfillment was going to church was so refreshing. There were 5 (Sparkle included) babies just few months old last Sunday at the church. Every time I see a baby, I feel its a proof that God loves human being so much. I know I should have clicked some pics of all the cuties, :( I don't carry my phone to church).

My First  7 Quick Takes Friday -Vol1 from www.conversiondiary.com ----1---- Why do things just pop up without warning? I had things planned out and everything went out of schedule, or did I not pay close attention around ? Anyways! I had to enjoy what I was doing. Though sparkle was not keeping that very well ( a stomach infection), I had to attend a workshop. It was not like someone had pointed a gun on my head to attend it; however it was way to stay away from feeding sparkle as doc suggested that I feed him a little less till his stomach calms down and also a chance to meet all my old colleagues. I did return home early, and found sparkle to be more active than the previous day. (we both hardly slept that night due to his stomach-poor baby) As I see Sparkle achieving his milestone on his way to become a naughty toddler, I am kind of  keep checking Maple's pics as a toddler ---2--- Plans for weekend is a little unsure due to sparkle's health, however will s...
