Sometimes all you need is just a little sunshine,some fresh air and family time, to get through the cold months 🙂
And if you are a puppy, feasting on some Kangaroo Poo ( Ewww) in the park is just the cherry on top!
In case anyone is still reading this blog, this is my feeble attempt at trying to revive the blog .

On 2nd April, 2017, our world just grew by 4 furry paws, as brought our fur-baby Mowgli home.
This soft fluff-ball is all of 9 weeks now and has us all wrapped around his little paw.
Now that a week has passed, he is getting braver and is starting to explore the yard freely. But his favorite spot is still next to me..
Please excuse the Pjs and chipped nail-polish, I am a new mum all over again 😛
It was a no-plans Saturday – all we were going to do that day was – coffee at the local cafe, quick trip to the mall, trip to the Indian store and back home.
Well, we ran into some friends at the mall and almost in an unsaid agreement,spent the afternoon with them. The kids love each other, the men enjoy each other’s company & my friend R & I were only too glad to hang out together. MsA & MsAn told my friend R, that Li’l S is like a sibling to them – and watching them today confirmed that – they tease each other, fight and then cuddle only to start again.
So we were all having a good time. MsAn & Li’l S wanted to go on the merry-go-round – you know those $2 rides in the malls. So I put a coin in but nothing happened. So SP went to check with customer service,R& I were talking,while we waited.
I felt a little hand tap my back, I turned around to MsAn. I automatically gave her a Thumbs Up, coz she always calls me to show whatever she is doing. But her face was pale. “what’s wrong?”I asked her. “Mummy,I am stuck!” OMG! She was really stuck..her knees locked in under the dashboard of the little car.
We tried to get her out, one way or the other- called security. By now it was nearly 30 mins that she was stuck in there. She was so calm though, talking to us, singing.I could hug her little body from the back.I was ready to cry.A passerby stopped and suggested a slight maneuver – R’s hubby asked MsAn to try it, so we could go watch a movie.The idea of the movie motivated her to try and she came free. It took 4 adults & a passing teen to finally free my little girl!
Gosh! I swear, this is the child that will give me my greys!!!
We watched the movie Moana, last week. I am happy to see this new set of current day movies , that depict Princess/ heroine as a strong character and not a damsel in distress . Both MsA & MsAn loved the movie and can’t stop talking about Moana – Brave, smart, determined Moana.
I love the fact that both MsA & MsAn are quite unaffected by what the rest of the world is doing. For example – MsAn prefers animals and superheroes over dolls & fairies and will go blue in the face defending her choices even if someone she absolutely loves tries to convince her that boys like those things.
When unicorns were still a rage in her friend circle, MsA announced one day that she ‘preferred the PowerPuff Girls, because they fight crime.’ She wasn’t worried that the other girls didn’t share the same interests. She loved them and didn’t give in to peer pressure.
I hope this trend continues…I know this might change as she gets older, but as long as she/ they know that its ok to be different, as long as you believe in yourself, that’s all I can wish for.
