little home sunshine goa

I don't even know if I can type, or think about writing something. January is almost over, but my routine hasn't changed a bit-- office home, office home, then on Sunday- church. We have a house being renovated majorly also! And in all this if I manage some time, its for baking a cake or cooking. And above all admiring my little cuties. However busy January may be, we enjoy it to the core, with our wedding anniversary, maple's birthday, my parents wedding anniversary and then my office folk event. I am still in all my colors of sanity. naughty fairies hairstyle folk festival 2015 at Goa India Organized by Dept of Art & Culture

This is the most busiest time in all houses and my house is no exception. Only difference is that, I neglected my blog! :( An event that I wanted to record in my blog was the 1st accident on the new year... My mixer splashed my coconut gravy base all round my kitchen walls, counter, fridge etc etc.. my 1st day in New year started with deep cleaning my kitchen  Nevertheless.... Keeping the new year spirit on, we are having a family get together tonight. Fun!!! This beuitful image is from http://www.freeprettythingsforyou.com, I have so many of the printable from this site for Christmas decor. The images are so cute!

Muaaah...!!!

A wedding gift given by our neighbor. It copper and so beautiful. My utility basket traveled into my new temporary house And sparkle's toys This is my favorite place, oh how I miss my sunshine window...! Our house is being renovated. We have been staying at my mom's house. They have a portion of their house which was not being used. So now its fully occupied by us and is extensively used by my little ones.  I am so blessed that my parents stay so close to me and now we are in the same house (we are on the 1st floor and they on ground). And our kids just have to simply run down the stairs to be with their omma and papa.(grandma and Grandpa).

When I was little girl,  2+2 was always equal to 4.. But now with life's meaning being viewed  differently by people of different ages, different era, and speacilly by people who want to be ever greens- belong to all times; the sum is not 4... it is like it could be 1+1+2 or why don't u try 2+1+1, or even better 0+4... I am just fed up. When is school, we study , the harder we study , the better the marks. You ask for something from ur parents, you either get it or not. There weren't many options. That's how we learn to take decision. but when you have options open, there is always compromising. In today's world, all of us are only here to compromise. But i want to see my kids in a place where they work to get want they really want and not compromise on anything for want theye are working for. I see only way to achieve this is by setting examples as parents, take decision, show them or highlight that, since we are human, the decision we take, may not be corr...

I have fractured my elbow. I don't want to see my pic with a fractured left side. So i won't just allow anyone to click it. My sweet Little daughter still managed to get a click... though a little blur, its good for a digital memory.  I pray for patience now. My hubby dear is so very caring and is in full control. I am so lucky to have him.

Sev (thin noodle) upma, with a dash of lime.. yum.. The lime and coriander gives it such freshness and peanuts, the crunchy texture. The best part is, its so quick. Red plate is my hubby's, he likes it like that, and mine is more crunchier  with all that chevda over it. And yes, it was all eagerly eaten my babies too!

                                             We got this for our weekend... Yummm simply yum!

One day I shall have a beautiful garden with lots of Hydrangeas for sure...

The number is wrong! ;) Isn't the cake just yummmmmm... We were all sad that it was over so soon. See the chocolate that ran down the plate was already licked by my babies. I became a year older on 19th.. And had the most lazing around birthday, literally doing nothing!

They humbled themselves to your plans for them. They knew that you do the best for them. They trusted  you completely, walk through your ways. Then why this pain, this loneliness, this unbearable grief. You did not  give them what you gave all the happy and blessed couple! you left them fruitless, They survived, they took care of hundreds of other precious gifts and yield fruits. They cared for the poor and the sick. They why god? He is left alone with no one to care for him no one to be called as family. I just don't get it God. Why did you call his beloved away from him? He required her, to fight with this world. He required her for his life I know you do everything for a purpose, Please let him see the purpose and let him have peace. Please don't leave him like that. Please console him Jesus.

 The bonding between brother and sister is a scene which fills every mother with joy and pride. My little Maple is so responsible and lovely dear sister, that her brother simple can't stay away from her.

Yes right, the dawn just falls and den all I know about is dragging my tired body onto the bed. I am round the clock busy. No I am not complaining about the work, but yes, i am not spending all the time that my heart needs for my little babies. And they are growing so big and so fast, I know I will regret all this time away from them.

May is very hot and fun. Kids full time at home for their summer vacation, loads of dishes in the kitchen, mud, leaves flowers in and around the house, mangoes yum... lot of work, a trip to the backwater, a day in a houseboat and also a visit to meet grandparents. Three weeks full of energy and love

This grains had grown on our roof. Could have been planted by some bird there. God can grow thing wherever he wishes!  When our house help left us, I was wondering about how we would accomplish thing on time; Make Breakfast and lunch, pack lunch to work, dress Maple, tie her hair into braids (school instructions), drop her to school, feed Sparkle his breakfast, wash clothes, dishes...etc etc the list goes on and on. But our routine now after the maid had left is still going smoothly. We are all doing quite well and with lot of satisfaction and joy. Kids have become so responsible and independent. I learnt one thing for sure, we tend to depend on people when they are there to help, else we all know how to get our work done.

Feasting after a fast is full of joy. Joy of cooking Joy of decoration Joy of clean house. Our home is filled with joy, color, and yummy smell all over.. Thank you Jesus for blessing us and our friends. This ones is an old pic, I forgot to click one this time I washed all my curtain. They are smelling so clean and fresh Washed all bed sheets. All sofa cover and cushion were hand washed and dried out in hot sun. Water used of washing was used in the garden. This one I have been planning to do since long time (thanks to my dear friend for providing me the dried flowers), planted Marigold  at my backyard (praying that that it starts growing soon and produce some nice bunch of flowers). Removed weed in one corner of my garden. Download Easter egg pictures and used them for decorating home. Used old gift wrapper to make Fan shaped banner.  Baked an orange cake Since I am working at office full time, this was lot of work accomplished; thanks to two publ...
