How Co-Sleeping became pivotal in my Motherhood Journey
My 3.5-year-old daughter and I co-sleep every day. Mostly during the nights, but also on the weekends, when we take our afternoon naps together too…
The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read #BookReview
I am not sure what pushed me to pick ‘the book with the orange cover’ that had been sitting on my shelf for 3 years. I hadn’t given it much thought until a year ago when finally, thanks to its …
Working Parents & Their Sanity – Building a Support System
Let me at the outset clarify that when I mention ‘work’ here, it includes ANY work. So, it could be the work at home done by a home-maker-parent or it could be work in a professional/entrepreneurial environment. Either way, every parent struggles to find that fine balance between ‘work’ and ‘parenting’, especially with younger kids […]
When a Mother’s Heart Sings #Poetry
Happiness runs around my house On tiny feet and little toes With a skip, jump and a hop, The sweetest voice humming random notes.

Little by little, I allowed my book- thirsty self to re-emerge. Soon, I had seamlessly transitioned from a traditionalist to a modern reader, and I was grateful for the existence of this new medium! (This post is part of my Mommy Moments series.) If you have been a parent to a newborn or a toddler, […]
Re(de)fining Traditions for our Children. #MommyMoments
We can either carry on with the traditions of our past, associating histories and memories with them, or, ask ourselves if they can be tweaked to make way for a better tomorrow. (This post is part of my Mommy Moments series.) India is a land of traditions. We, as a society, revere and revel […]
A Little Lesson in Love. #MommyMoments
There I was, a 30 year old, unable to love the way my 16 month old daughter did. It made me realise how much of our innocence we lose as we grow up. (This post is part of my Mommy Moments series.) My toddler hates her hair being washed. HATES it. There’s simply no […]
