Barbie Doll Chocolate cake - Sugarcraft ( Wow Moment)

This was my Wow moment of my life.....

It was the Big day for my little one... 3rd Birthday...her list of cake designs were full on... every moment the design changes from my little boss.. Mickey mouse, Kitty Kat, Minnie mouse, Pooh and the list goes on... and finally she caught up with her Barbie doll...

She was very excited watching her Doll ready with the surprises instore.For me, I never expected an excellent review on my first attempt on 3 tier cake. But it turned out to be the best gift for my kid.
Everyone were suprised that I could do this. Guess what.. got an order on the same day. Will post that pics soon..

Review on The Lil Flea Market at Bandra, Mumbai

The Lil Flea Market, one of the amazing market which I found lately. Special attraction for youth.

You get to see - Handmade stuffs, Colourful home decors, Music lovers - Jam sessions, Accessories, Designers clothes, Pottery/Painting/Flower workshops, Games, Food and many more.

 

  

Personally for me, being a Amateur Photographer - got to get some cool shots. It was new and refreshing experience. Love to be there for the next market.

My Little Friends

When you live in a place like Mumbai, finds it difficult to have close-bonding with the nature.
So, I have created a little garden which my little one gets to connect with the nature by watching green chillies, curry leaves and some flowers growing in our garden.

 

When I read books for her, question arises how will she be connected with the pictures given in the book as it is hard to find those in reality.

In our childhood times, we actually learnt things through reality than in books. So, whenever I go out with her, I ensure to explain things which is around us. I believe, a little effort of introducing to nature can bring in a positive change in their creative thinking.

Here are few pics when we got a chance to visit a village near Alibagh. She was very enthusiast and got a chance to watch all of her friends.. :)

Busy talking to her friend - little chick ( she wanted to bring him home)

Watching Ox - Ambaa(in her language)

Chasing Rooster.. :)

Surprising look at Banana tree... yummy bananas too... (she was relating to her book..followed by firing of questions)

Rare view for us in reality... Banana tree with Bananas

Was very happy to touch papaya... chutti tree

Experiencing the touch of the flower

Chickoos..... Special ones, her favorite fruit!!

 

Lastly, posing with the white onions...

All thanks to my neighbour, who invited us to visit their place to explore the nature and get reconnected.

We being parents, from our busy schedule, if we can give the precious moments of time in educating them about nature and help them build their childhood , they will cherish it for the lifetime as we cherish our childhood times.

Renewing Relationships

When I watched the video from British Airways, I too felt the same. As years have passed the two of us are now three, we have a beautiful daughter. Living in a city like Mumbai its only work and no time for one's self or family.

 

As my husband works 6 days a week. When he leaves for work our 2 and half year old daughter is sleeping and by the time, he reaches home my daughter is again fast asleep. We only get one sunday together but its filled with household work. Every Sunday one of the hottest topic at our home is on family time. I dont want my daughter to grow having a weak bond with her parents.

When I got married, since we are not a nuclear family, we rarely got any private time between ourselves. The emptiness in the relationship grew over a period of time and soon as they say in mumbai, you get used to it and accept it as a part of life. Now with my daughter, I wanted my hubby to have a special bond where he would get to enjoy his fatherhood apart his office work and tensions.

I actually planned a quick and short vacation which was just 2 nights and 3 days to Lonavala. That was the turning point in our lives and I could actually see the difference in him. There was a spark in our relationship, as well the bonding with my daughter was vibrant. After this trip, there was no turning back, he now himself plans short vacations so that he can spend more time with us. Madikeri and Goa were other two memorable trips that came later. These trips actually made us realise the importance we play in each other's life.

My daughter loves adventures. Trekking, beaches, visiting wild sanctuaries have become part of our itinerary. She has been an inspiration for us to enjoy nature and nourish our relationship as parents.
