Travelling with Kids

Once full time Professional- Now full time mom.

Hey Guys, I am writing after a long gap. Nothing much but struggling between household chores, children and responsibilities. Often we get so lost between these, that we forget what our real identity is. There comes a time in our life when we have to choose between work and personal responsibilities (child). I choose my CHILD. No decision is wrong and right. It's everyone's personal choice. But sometimes, we feel empty and loose our real ME. That's when the sad story starts.  Never regret your decision. In short term, you might feel you took the wrong decision but in the long run, you will see the brighter side of this decision. When you will see your kids growing, the values you taught him, you will surely be the happiest mom. What a mom can teach, no one else can.  To fill the emptiness, try few tips: See if you can get some work from home projects. Join some hobby classes of your interest like yoga, dance, craft etc. Make new friends of similar interest

Being a mom is not easy. My little preschooler gets bored very easily. Its Sunday evening and my kid is tired but not ready to sleep. He played with his ball , did cycling, went to the park but still his thirst for more fun activities is still on.

Quick and healthy Paneer Parantha for kids

Image
Hello Everyone, One of the most common problem with a toddler is to make him/her sit and finish the meal . Today I am going to share my experience. My toddler spits out the food every time he gets any hard food like any vegetables , or paneer . He is 4 buy still like the food to be mashed properly (baby food). Due to this habit he was not getting enough nutrition. I got so stressed and didn't how to make him eat healthy food. He doesn't like to drink milk either. His pediatric says - "No problem if he doesn't like milk, Give him paneer if he doesn't take milk." But the question is that how to make him eat paneer. I am sure most of you would have beeen in the similar situation. Since he has been in a habit of eating roti or parantha from the age of 7 months, he loves parantha or roti but not stuffed. So I had an idea and that idea gave birth to my Special Paneer Parantha recipe. Ingredients: Paneer(Better if made at home) Wheat Flour Salt Ajwain

Job Profile- Full time Mom!

I hear this question often. Do I work somewhere? My answer is a BIG YES!! That too fulltime 24/7 non stop. What my salary is like? Tangibly nothing. But actually the my salary amount is so huge that I cannot measure is. Unconditional Love by my baby is my SALARY . I am in absolute love with my job. I believe raising a child is the toughest  but the highest paid job on Earth. I am going to share some of my experience and advice: Baby Care - Initial 1 year is very crucial for the baby. Take utmost care of baby during his/her first winter and summer. In winters, try to keep feet and hands covered. You can get these readymade mittens from market to cover hands. If baby catches cold, just take few drops of mustard oil(sarso ka tel) and rub on your palms and gently massage on baby's chest. Cover the chest. This works wonder in summer. Avoid medications as much as possible. In summers, keep baby in comfortable loose fitting cotton cloths. You can buy bodysuits while you go out.

Anyone can do that. Correct? If you search on google, the search engine gives you search results in fraction of seconds. But are all the search results relevant? The answer is NO. Here I come in picture. I can very quickly shortlist and arrange the relevant information in word doc format. The search results I can provide are more efficient. Of course the tool I use is GOOGLE, but there are certain tricks to filter out the relevant information. Searching and reading over the internet is my passion . Kindly leave your feedback.
