Little Thoughts.

Introduction: As parents, we often find ourselves immersed in the daily routines of life, tending to the needs of our children and ensuring their well-being. Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle, it's the simple, unexpected moments that touch our hearts and remind us of the profound bond shared with our little ones. Such was the case when my 5-year-old son uttered words of love that left me overwhelmed with emotion. The Tender Moment: It was a quiet evening, and I was tucking my children into bed, preparing them for a peaceful night's sleep. As I leaned in to give my son a goodnight kiss, he looked up at me with eyes filled with sincerity and said, "Mommy, I miss you a lot in school." The weight of his words hung heavy in the air, catching me off guard with his raw honesty and vulnerability. In that moment, I felt a lump form in my throat as tears welled up in my eyes. His simple confession touched a chord deep within me, stirring a mixture of love, gratitude, and longin

Disclaimer : This is just my own view on this . Celebrating birthdays at orphanages is often seen as a noble and heartwarming gesture, a way to spread joy and kindness to those less fortunate. However, amidst the joyous atmosphere, it's essential to consider the deeper emotions and experiences of the children involved. While for some, a birthday celebration at an orphanage might indeed be a wonderful experience, for others, it can evoke complex feelings of being underprivileged or overlooked. These children may grapple with feelings of loneliness, longing for the sense of belonging and love that comes with celebrating within a family unit. As we reflect on the idea of celebrating birthdays at orphanages, it's crucial to approach it with sensitivity and empathy. Rather than simply projecting our own desires onto these children, it's essential to engage with them on a deeper level, understanding their individual needs and experiences. Perhaps, instead of solely focusing on la

Life is a beautiful tapestry woven with countless threads of experiences, relationships, and choices. As a parent, one of the most significant decisions we face is how we allocate our time and energy between our family and other aspects of our lives. Recently, I found myself confronted with this dilemma when my 5-month-old daughter fell ill, prompting me to reconsider plans to go out with friends. In that moment, as I watched over my daughter, tending to her needs and offering comfort, I realized that my priorities had shifted. While social outings and gatherings with friends are undoubtedly enjoyable and important for maintaining connections, my daughter's well-being took precedence above all else. It's easy to succumb to the pressure of societal expectations or the fear of missing out on opportunities for socializing. However, as I sat by my daughter's side, I felt a deep sense of contentment and fulfillment in knowing that I was exactly where I needed to be – with her. P

Parenting often surprises us with moments of unexpected help and kindness, reminding us of the incredible bond shared within our families. During our recent trip to Ranthambore, I experienced one such heartwarming incident involving my 5-year-old son, who stepped up to lend a hand when I needed it most. As we explored the resort grounds with our 5-month-old daughter in her stroller, my husband received an urgent call and had to rush back to our room. Suddenly, I found myself faced with the challenge of navigating the resort's stairs and pathways alone, with a baby in the stroller. In moments like these, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to proceed. However, my son surprised me by stepping forward with a determined look in his eyes. "Mommy, I can help you," he said, echoing the actions he had observed from his father. I couldn't help but smile at his eagerness to assist, even though he was only 5 years old. With his father's actions as a guide, he

Introduction: Mornings are often a flurry of activity in our household, but instead of rushing through our morning routine, my 5-year-old son and I embarked on a delightful culinary adventure together.Most of the days we do this together and what's left is a heartwarming experience of bonding, learning, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Getting Started: As the sun peeked through the kitchen window, my son's eyes sparkled with excitement at the prospect of cooking with me and believe me this is a regular thing that we keep doing . We gathered our ingredients – eggs, bread, cheese, and his favorite vegetables – and laid them out on the counter. With a step stool to help him reach the counter, he eagerly rolled up his sleeves, ready to dive in. Learning Through Play: Cooking with a 5-year-old is not just about making food; it's a lesson in patience, creativity, and exploration. As we cracked eggs into a bowl, my son marvelled at the gooey texture and carefully w

The alarm blares, jolting me awake from the comfort of slumber. As I groggily open my eyes, the reality of another busy morning rushes in like a tidal wave. It's the familiar routine of office days for my husband, and the responsibility falls on my shoulders to ensure everything runs smoothly before he heads out the door. But in the midst of the chaos, I find myself grappling with an overwhelming sense of pressure, juggling multiple roles and responsibilities that seem to pull me in every direction. The morning madness begins in earnest as I stumble out of bed and into the whirlwind of activity. There are lunches to pack, breakfasts to prepare, and kids to get ready for school. Each task demands my attention, leaving little room for error or delay. And yet, as I move through the motions, I can't shake the feeling of being stretched too thin, of teetering on the edge of exhaustion as I try to keep up with the demands of the day. Perhaps it's the weight of additional responsi
