How to save your sanity with a weekly meal planner

I first read the word “winger” personality in Tracy Hogg’s book, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer. She was a genius in baby care, and I have imbibed a lot from her book over my parenting span of six years. However, it also put me into perspective about the type of personality I am. And tragically…

Omved Care – Tender Loving Hair Care {Product Review}

That was one long hiatus from blogging, one not necessarily desired. The rains are here and with rains come the common maladies like flu, runny noses, coughs, and fevers.

Homemade Aromatherapy Headache Balm

You know that feeling when it feels like your head is about to explode? I get that all the time, and so does my husband. His spells are worse, way worse than mine and I sometimes felt useless, not being able to help him at all. I also hated to watch him pop painkillers like…

Quilled finger puppets – A Review

Forgive me Lord, for it has been ten days since I last posted. The A to Z weariness is now finally waning and I am once again back to my usual, partly-energetic caffeine-propped self. My sister-in-law Shivani Rege is here, a wonderful and talented young woman. She and her younger son Shashwat are quite literally…

My Chocolate Chiffon Cake Recipe

I have been in search of the perfect chocolate sponge cake. Chocolatey and yet velvety soft. Suffice it to say, some of the recipes I tried from famous books were probably not meant for this weather. Or maybe I was just doing something wrong. But this recipe, I have been so satisfied with it, it…
