I have just re-discovered my love for toe-rings and so I have to torture you with these images..:) Feel free to skip this post, if you like 😀
I was gifted some beautiful pairs the last time I went to India.As the weather is getting warmer,its the perfect time to sport these silver beauties!
Hellooo lovely people,
Anybody still here?? You know, reading/stalking/reading?? I had vowed to keep posting regularly and then the new job happened. Yes, I have a second job now, but this one is on-call, filling in for regulars, so the last few weeks have been super-busy.Today is my first official day off in a long time, because I am sick and in bed, perfect time to write this post, I say!
And amidst this hubbub, my secondborn turned 4! Its been almost a month since Ms.An turned 4- I have her birthday post in the drafts, hopefully, I’ll finish it soon. There’s so much I have to say about her,so many little things that make her uniquely ‘her’ and so many little things that make me smile and thank the lord for making her mine.
As for other things, the weight-loss is going well.. I say well, because even though its slow, its steady. Others can see changes and more importantly, I can see changes. I will share a comparison pic soon.
The house is getting set, slowly, one corner at a time. I’ve managed to tackle the big beast, otherwise known as the kitchen Pantry! I love walking into the pantry now and finding what I want, without having to look through a hundred plastic bags or 50 assorted boxes. A friend is revamping her backyard for her new puppy and was getting rid of these and now they have a new home in my backyard 🙂
And while I am sharing pics, now is a good chance to share some of Ms.An’s birthday too 🙂
It’s taken me a whole day to write this post.. but, hey! its progress..I am going to hit publish before I get distracted now 🙂
Cheers
Trish
We spent a quiet day at home today.. the girls and I. A quiet day in our house calls for staying in our pajamas, eating when we get hungry,even if it means eating at three different times and lots of arts, crafts and games. Oh and some reading too.
We worked on a My Little Pony puzzle together and between all the no-reason giggles, Ms.An commented,” This is the BEST day, ever” and MsA looked at her, tousled her hair fondly and said,”Yes, it is “.
Puzzle completed, and we decided to settle down for some reading. MsA in her room, me in mine and MsAn next to me on my bed. A little while later, MsAn was nowhere to be seen. Feeling too lazy, I yelled out, ” Nanya, are you with Didi?” and she yelled back..” No, I am with myshelf and my toys and we are having so much fun”
She makes me smile with her chatter and her witty responses..I can’t believe she is almost four!
Last night at bed-time, I was trying to finish a chapter for my new unit. MsAn was next to me, watching a video on her iPad . SP told her ,” That’s enough, its time for bed ” and she threw her hands up in the air and said, ” I knoww , daddy!! Justtt look at mumma…she is still using her laptop! Mumma, its time for bed, you have to switch it off..Band Karo( parroting hubby’s words-‘switch it off’ in Hindi)
I love quiet, lazy days like today, just what we need every now and again. The last week has been very busy. I got a taste of what life would be when I start working 5 days a week, which will be soon, fingers crossed. I will share more once, I have more details.
For now, I am going to enjoy the last few days of the school holidays. I love having MsA at home. She’s been a sport and hasn’t complained about having to wake up every day and going to work with me. And after finishing work, I over-indulge her , to overcome my guilt- lunch of her choice, window shopping, sometimes real shopping, a thing or two, movies at home, late nights, and the works. But, isn’t that the joy of school holidays?
More later,
Love,
Trish
I am slowly doing up the house.When I say slowly, I mean really S-L-O-W-L-Y 😃
Anyway, I saw this set at the InLaws home and I had to have it, so I nagged them to get one for me and they did , when they came over after we moved into the new house.
I racked my brain, about how to display it, since we don’t have a showcase or sideboard yet. I didn’t want it on the floor, because they wouldn’t survive MsAn’s love and affection. And then, I found this
A cup of ginger tea, some red paint and ta da…we have a new home for my beloved set .. I can’t stop looking at it 😊
I love the streaked effect- I have to confess, when I first started , the streaks upset the OCD crafter in me, but after the paint dried, I thought it added character to it, so I resisted the urge to do another coat to even it out .
Now, I am looking for something to display this little set, any ideas? 😊
Love,
Trish!
