He is so happy to be able to walk around like his  sister. I know I will have to be on my toes. The moment our front door is open, Sparkle is out to explore.

He started his fabulous day in a jeep. My day got him seated on the driver's seat (this Sparkle has always wanting to to do, he would be reaching for the gears whenever he's in a vehicle). So he was super happy , then mam made him this tested and yummiest cake ever baked by her! So my baba had his best start for the day, More picture coming up..

{Pretty Happy Funny Real} ~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~ Life is been pretty busy here at our Sunshine home, we had a nice break from our office and other routine for a week. And now are in a process of getting back to our work {Pretty} We were so happy to start our week, celebrating the festival of Onam . And super excited as it was Sparkle's 1st Onam. We dressed him in Kerala's traditional dhoti and served food in plantain leaf. My baby is looking so cute {Happy} A nice way to start back with our daily chores was to do a little cleaning & organizing.   I wiped off all the dust of a week from my dressing table and cleaned and reorganized the basket on my side table. It contains all my daily usage things. Before all these stuff always found on the dressing table lying around and than gradually lost in our everyday hurry. Thanks to Auntie Leila's ideas of De-cluttering and organizing  This is my work table, wh...

We celebrate Onam at my mom's place every year, and since it was Sparkle's 1st onam, it was even more special.

Ever since Sparkle was born I got into this phase of waking up late. Yes it was unavoidable during the 1st few months but lately its only a trick my mind kept playing with me. When the clock strikes 5 in the morning I am awake, however my lazy little mind tells me facts like "see you woke up so many times to feed baby, hence couldn't get your full sleep", "If you don't sleep well you will doze off at work"", "your back is paining, you need to sleep a little etc on your back rather then sides" etc..., oh there are many such facts that my mind tells me. And due to these so called important facts, I decide to sleep for another hour and thus concluding to all the rush hour at my home. One fine day, while folding the washed laundry of my kids(washed by my maid), I realized that all the clothes need a wash, that only their mother could give. No I am not complaining about the helping aid that I have at home, oh she is a blessing for us, since we...

we asked her to act! Is she crying for real? what an actor she is! This little hero wanted to climb up the coconut tree.

How is it? Maple loved it!   Finally! a dress was stitched for Maple and two more are in process. I am learning stitch the neck patterns (Problem area!), otherwise things are moving pretty well on that front. Apart from that, I washed the curtains of our living room and they look so fresh and clean. Other things done this weekend were: making cinnamon roll which was really good organized my cupboard and had an unexpected dinner with my parents and sister Hope all of you had a nice weekend too...

 15th August has always been an exciting day for us. Flag hoisting, mass and lot of great food & fun. We celebrated our 66th Independence day on 15 August! A salute to all our soldiers who guard our boarders and keep us safe. Jai Hind! Also celebrated the feast in our neighboring parish at Vasco. What a day we had!

We had a long weekend and had a visit to a fort turned into a museum near our house. The fort is so lovely and paintings amazing! Above all was the way Maple cared for Sparkle. She doesn't miss a chance to carry him. And he is all happy with her. more pics of the fort later!
