It brings me a ginormous amount of joy to finally be able to put this in writing. As many of you know, I fell off from the face of the Earth after my firstborn; Keith. While I dearly misse …
Disclosure :: I received a complimentary travel pack to test out the product range, prior to this giveaway. :) I love that tagline of Cetaphil's - Every Cetaphil Woman's a Winner. Especially when you're a newbie in the mommy department and often feel like you're behind enemy lines. Pregnancy completely disagreed with me. Other than the mental state of excitement that there … 
The reality is slow sinking in. Our home will only be completed in another 3-4 years. Meanwhile, we'll be putting up at my folks' place, as we have been for awhile now. With Keith growing, it has been difficult trying to give him all I had initially imagined to, in this tiny space shared by 6 people! Thankfully though, the musky study is unoccupied - for obvious reasons - … 
My love affair with damask began only a couple a years ago when I attended a fancy event ( can't quite recall where/what/why ) and spotted some lovely damask wallpaper on the interior walls. I called it the 'pretty tribal prints' for the longest time, until the great WWW revealed it's origins and correct term. What was once reserved for formal rooms, Damask patterns are now … 
The most of us do that often, don't we? We try not to judge people and opinions, but our purchasing decisions are easily swayed by its packaging. Pretty packagings make even the simplest products more special, and well, pretty. I personally love anything packaged beautifully and expressively. It displays the efforts and thoughts that someone (often the designer) put into … 
I've been keeping myself and my lovely printer busy the past week, designing and dishing out new pretties as and when the lil kiddo goes down for a nap. I made my second sale on Etsy, brin … 
I'm awfully excited to launch these!! Sadly the equally awful weather decided on doing me bad just as the little kiddo went down for his nap. and so for now, there remain as coming soon to beautiful revelry 
Hello lovelies! How has your week been? Mine was quite a mixbag of highs and lows. (a) Keith was generally settling into a routine which I supported { more sleep }. Although that meant he was oh-so-active when he was awake and alert. Thankfully, he's taken a liking for long bus-rides. (b) He also turned 6 months old this week. How blessed are we? To make it a perfect … 
Have you been given the chance to re-invent yourself? Early this morning, I stumbled upon this article which got me thinking and re-evaluating myself. It's been 10 years since I've let my … 
Step 1 :: Pretend to enjoy sitting in their arms, in a calm manner. DO NOT touch the electronic gadget. Step 2 :: Inch a little closer, and caress it gently. Step 3 :: Wait for their coos and aahs about your knowing how to navigate one. Get closer and hold the gadget. Step 4 :: Roll off their lap, hold onto the iPad and NEVER let go. 
I must admit, talking to an almost six (6!!) month old baby can be pretty boring, and frustrating. It totally blows that all day I wait for some/any level-headed adult to strike a conversation with; and when I finally do, Keith steps in and takes over that moment as well. I wouldn't mind it so much if he enjoyed play as much as I wish he did. Lately though ( thankfully? ) … 
Step #1 :: Pretend you're cool about it. Step #2 :: Look a little bored as they place their order. Step #3 :: Wait for them to be at ease, and express your displeasure. 
The past couple of weeks have been the most beautiful I've experienced since years now. We took a stab at being a stereotypical family, and while it brought upon ugly arguments, tears, and anguish; it also brought along memorable smiles, laughter, normalcy, and indescribable joy. We shared the best times bonding as a family, it's been crazy blissful. Today also marks the … 
Keith hates putting on his clothes after his showers, and despite months of fighting with him through his protesting screams, I've never been able to get him used to the routine. So over this morning's post-bath struggle, I made a quick decision. 'The truth shall prevail' - whoever said that was indeed a wise dude/ette. Keith : *constant screams & kickings* Me : Look, if … 
Are you a flower-fanatic? I used to be very much into receiving bouquets, and whathaveyous. Roses and sunflowers used to please me, until one day I woke up to a whole new me that wanted garden full a fresh, fragrant, and fun-derful flowers! If you're a peony lover, just as I am... You'll love this Glossary of Peonies I spotted off Martha Stewart's Living magazine! And …
1. Nursing every two hours? I'll never get used to it. 2. 5 hours of sleep, that which is interrupted every hour, for five months and counting ... Hello eyehobobags! 3. Screaming bundle of 6++kg who wants to be carried and walked with around, all day long = lower back cursing at you for the constant torture. 4. Snoring Dad = Murderous Mom 5. Smiling baby? Makes it all …
TRIP TO IKEA Couple of days ago, I mentioned to Vijay that I'd like for us to make 'Family Day' an essential weekly routine. I thought it'll be nice to spend some quality time, together as a family, away from the luring rays of gadgets, technology, and perhaps the undeniable need to sleep. I love how Keith easily embraces the 'great outdoors' - he's definitely a nature … 
One of the greatest messages I received this year, was to have faith and be positive-minded. It pulled me through the initial stages of motherhood and many other aspects in my life. Over lunch and an attention-seeking baby, Vijay unexpectedly sprung the news of an upcoming iPad in my life. So there you go. God wasn't kidding. I am now an owner of an iPad2, with 3G! We …
