We have finished (can say finished as essential are there except for a wardrobe & curtains) with our house renovation. God was so kind, we were able to complete it within a years period. And all really liked how its turned out to be especially the kitchen. There is some more news, but this is for now. My life's about to change I can feel in in my bones :)!

A selfie after a reception... what a cool thing this selfie stuff is, no timer, no posing... and all fun

Ok the cake was not a part of Onam, but look at my kids, are they not angels. They were fully into celebrating it, from dressing up to eating the traditional Onam Sadya. And on my cake it was a version of red velvet cake without any red in it. ha ha! Do i have to tell, or can you guess? yes it is was over the same day i baked it.

My birthday was loaded with flowers and cards... and lot of brownies and cakes. Lord is Good and have blessed me abundantly with good people around me always. Sparkle is enjoying school and also imitating his elder sister. He pretends to read, pray and eat  just like her. Oh they are so cute!

    Rains and Goa are such a beautiful combination (except when it thunders, light, and when there is a power failure :)) It make earth look clean and fresh. Mornings are so lazy... I hardly have the heart to wake my little kittens to start with their morning routines. And they are always craving for warm bakes. Hence, in the kitchen, I have been baking brownies almost every alternate week, and we are enjoying them warm...

This little guy has started with his schooling... he was very happy to get dressed and get out with us... All he did at his 1st day of school was "play".. so far so good...Praying that he will also turn out as interested when he starts with real learning. Congratulation and best of luck, Sparkle!

My daughter is using her quilling skills in making gifts, she made this beautiful card... She is so caring and sensitive to others feeling. We are blessed to have you in our life! we Love you angel. muaaaah....

Oh my warm and sweaty days are over...yes i am complaining... "I don't like anything wet and cold"... :) School's reopening, my sparkle will start his nursery... wow, i am so excited. Maple is promoted to Class 2. She is also looking forward to new class and new teachers. Unfortunately their summer vacation went off too fast for any relaxing holidays away from home. Busy parents were away most of time at office or at the construction site. Our new home is coming put well, we are so happy that thing are nearing completion. God is great... he has always cared for us. Thank you Jesus

House work in full swing, kids at home idle. Mama and dada working at office and home and at the our old house construction site, oh this is very much our life now. So it was like a cool breeze in this hot summer when our library decided to  host a summer camp for a week. They teach our kids, origami, quilling, paper flowers, movie show etc... Kids enjoying to the fullest, while mama can keep a watch over them at the work. I am so waiting for the weekend to bake or make something for my little ones and unwind myself. There are lot of mangoes in the fridge waiting to be eating or to be drunk or to be licked...yummy

These days there is too much in mind... hence am not able to orderly put them down in words. There is house construction: wood selection, designs finalization, color selection, tiles selection oh the list is endless, kids playing at home all day without proper direction, many small project getting down slowly...very slowly, many recipes in mind to be tried out, an important workshop coming up at work place. Is it too much? I don't know, thing are getting done though, but very slowly. And it irritates as nothing is getting completed and every where you look thing half done. or still in planning phase.

Being at home feels so calming and peaceful. I took a leave from my work on Friday and had a long weekend to do some cleaning before Easter. It feels so good

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!
