little home sunshine goa

It has been long since I have been ignoring my beauty regime because of my drained energy everyday. So in order to relax myself, I had a nice head massage and a luxurious bath, followed by a generous dab of moisturizing lotion. I am smelling so Good... yummy.

I am so blurred today...no idea what to do?, no mission. I must chalk out a task list to keep me active!

Sunday service included a lot of prayer for my baby yet to come, and for our sweety gonna be big sister... Praying for a healthy baby and a peaceful delivery! Amen.

As per the task list, that I didn't expect would get completed so fast, we have accomplished quite a lot, shoe racks'  already home, cushion covers changed, glass jar for most of the spice put up(My kitchen is ahppy place for me now) Gardening taken up- plants 4 rose plant and some Basil plant...I am so happy coz, i am just on day 4 and lot thing already done :) Only things left is clothing for hubby & ma lil girl! That shall be done during one of the week days I guess.

Yesterday is a day all the sisters celebrate the presence of brothers their life. I was also lucky enough to have my Brother also visiting me. Though the sweets he bought was all eaten by my little sweety, I manged to click a pic of the fruits that came along! Yummy na...

Make something special for breakfast every day, except for Sunday of-course! Replace my plastic spice container with glass jars. They are easier to clean and look classic! Gardening! A long pending task to be taken up before the rains bid Au dieu. Buy a new Shoe rack. Some new shirts for hubby and an ethnic dress for my little girl Is it too much to do? nah... :)

" When Someone treats you like an option, help them narrow their choices by removing yourself from the equation ." We (that includes me too!) must always remember that, anyone who ask us help to perform a certain task that is routinely done by them; then that request of help is not because they are lazy or cannot handle the task. However its simply because they want to ease their burden & stress. In such a scenario, especially ones loved by them shouldn't make it a point to make them feel that by easying their burden we are doing a favor on them.

So many things happen for Good in our life and we don't realize it at all!

I came across this post and what a lovely insight was it to find this at this phase of my life: Here are some things yelling does teach our children: 1. It teaches them that I don't mean what I say until I yell. 2. It teaches them to yell when they want something accomplished. 3. Yelling teaches kids to ignore polite requests. 4. It teaches them that yelling is an appropriate way to relieve stress. 5. Sooner or later, the kids will ignore the yelling and when we really need their quick attention (emergency, danger, etc.) we won't be able to get it. 6. Yelling teaches kids that they don't deserve the respect of being talked to calmly. 7. It teaches our children to respond out of fear. pleas do read through the entire post here ! I'll surelly keep these pints in my mind wile dealing with my liltle one .

I have realized that there are certain on priority tasks to be taken up in my house before our new little member comes in and a family gathering for an important occasion due to happen. Though There is ample amount of time for both the events, I don't want to have final moment rush and a big financial bill, hence slowly and steady I shall accomplish the following: Updating on all the framed photographs in the house.  Selecting some new pics for the frames. Buying new bed spreads for all my beds. New faux flowers for my vases. New Sofa spreads & table spreads. New Floor mats. Repair of Certain Furniture. Re-arrangement of certain area to make more space. Some nice colored lite curtains. And finally my personal touch in all my rooms .

Now with my nesting instinct at its peak, I am full on with deep cleaning. And the after feeling of this cleaning is awesome! Yesterday while leaving home in hurry, I tried hard to find my cell and my door key, then at the door, I saw some dust peeping through my glass shelf. I hadn't realized that, i made a mental note about all this event; however, when I was back I unintentionally unpacked and organized my hand bag and my little pouches: 1st one carries my little makeup and face wash, 2nd one has my keys,sanitizer and wipes, while the 3rd has some cash and Id cards (I am taking tips from the author of "http://charmingthebirdsfromthetrees.blogspot.in/").  Later while my bath water warmed up, I had a nice cleaning session of my shelf and rearranged my shelf belongings. And wow, was I not beaming with joy!

Thank you to wonderful people, who took time to show that they remember me in their course of life!!!

From my childhood, i use to think that I was my papa's and mama's angel. No sooner did I get my sisters, I re-designated myself as their guardian,adviser, friend, partners in crime etc etc. Then came my college life and working life, wherein I became roommate and close friend to my friends. After marriage, my God! should I say I had a rapid change in my shades of life. From wife -->daughter-in-law-->sister-in-law-->aunty-->and most beautiful of all a MOTHER! In all the phases, we ladies have taken responsibilities and have ascertained that we accomplish them to our best. I am constantly asking almighty to bless all  with the grace, love and patience to carry forward all our duties and undertake new ones on my way of life!  Amen.

Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them.  Are you not worth much more than they?  And which of  you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life span? And why are you anxious about clothing?  Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all of his glory did not clothe himself like one of these. But if  God so arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith?  Do not be anxious then, saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "With what shall we clothe ourselves?" From the Holy Bible

A lady should always have a Midas touch to everything she does, that's how we become special in the hearts of our dear ones.... The blog I am following: http://charmingthebirdsfromthetrees.blogspot.in , inspired me to get this shade of mine to my life Feminine touch to my home includes: Wake up with a smile in my eyes (u need to sleep early and tat too after having a lovable chat).  Dress up to look presentable at my Kitchen. Plan my menu previous night and do relative preparation, in order to avoid hurry in the morning.(my hubby is sweet heart, he helps me even if i don't manage to do any prep) A vase of garden plucked/artificial flower---I try to get fresh flower, however wont pester myself too much to find sum. Enjoy my cooking. Garnish all the dishes that I set on the table Pack tiffin and off to work after a small prayer to almighty for a blessed day!

 I am a Malankara/Indian Orthodox Christian girl (should I say lady) This orthodoxy comes under the Oriental Orthodox churches, with deep faith in my community. I believe that what ever I am today is due to my immense faith in my God, which has been planted and nurtured with lot of love  by my Parents and my church. Here are few pictures where in we celebrated our church feast.

It makes you so lazy. I didn't want to get off my warm bed even after 7.30! However since I have a Job to do, i need to move. made hurry breakfast (more of reheating yesterdays stuff). A fast lunch and packing of all my tiffin for lunch and my baby snacks.

I fall in love everyday with a human who taught me the meaning of love! o god, Thank you for this blessed life. This song is dedicated to my Love.. from wonderful wonderful by Johnny Mathis: Some quiet evenings I sit by your side And we're lost in a world of our own I feel the glow of your unspoken love I'm aware of the treasures that I own And I say to myself, it's wonderful, wonderful Oh, so wonderful my love!

Everyone seem to have a clear idea of how other must lead their lives, but none about his/her own.. from ALCHEMIST by paulo coelho
