If Rana ever posed her a question about her favorite time of the day, Laila would have her answer ready! “Dawn ! Dawn is my favorite time of the day” ! Rana, her 6 year old every other day amused Laila with her endless “What is your favorite…?” questions. More often than not Laila would find herself struggling, thinking for minutes at end before she would come up with an response. But no, not for this one question. Dawn Dawn,…
What is your favorite memory of you reading a book? asked Rana, grabbing a Nancy Drew from the shelf. Laila was taken aback by this innocent yet thought provoking question from her 10 year old daughter. Rana was going through this phase where every other sentence coming from her began with “What is your favorite….”. “hmm.. that’s an interesting question. Let me think for a minute…” said Laila. Most days Laila would say something silly in response and Rana would…
Good morning readers! Today we are going to talk about fundraisers. To be precise, I am going to be talking about the Fundraiser 40 Mile Dog Walk in January , that I signed up for on a whim, earlier this month. As I was waiting to be served Sunday special breakfast by dear husband – a hearty weekend tradition that started in early pandemic days and has continued there after, I logged on to the social media platform Facebook to…
Isn’t it a beautiful day today? I am thankful for today and loving the vibes January 11th is offering to me . You can say I am excited for today because yesterday wasn’t as bright and beautiful for me. I wasn’t feeling up to it. Everything seemed rather dull and gray. There was a heaviness in my heart that I couldn’t explain away. I found myself lost in my thoughts, trying to play catch up with should have been just…
Good morning folks. Hope you are having a fine start to the new year. Our year started on a slow note as as we caught up on much needed sleep and rested those tired feet. My first post of this year is about our last vacation of 2022- a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. A magical vacation to Walt Disney World Now that we have experienced the magic for ourselves, there is no saying we won’t go…
This month we became naturalized citizens of the United States. The final process of naturalization involves giving an interview to the officer at USIC and taking an oath. If you pass the interview you are asked to take the oath of allegiance. The oath is the last step in you becoming a citizen of United States of America. It was a bitter sweet experience for me, as I raised my right hand and repeated after the officer “I hereby declare,…

Hello hello! How are you doing today? I had a productive day, striking off most of my tasks for the day. Today I am here to talk about all the festivities 🎉. The temperatures dropped to 0ºC this morning. Oh yes, it has started to get cold in here! Cold enough for me to be wearing those hand and toe warmers underneath all those layers!

Good morning, hello hello ! Let’s chat, shall we? Let’s talk about being consistent! Been more than a minute since we last spoke! Hmm.. more like three weeks🤐 .

But I am not going let her do that, because if I could make the time I would have done that already ! Right now I am doing…

Good afternoon folks. I am here to rant, I am here to talk anything but children and family. Its been a while since I have come here and jotted down this funny conversation I had with a friend or S which kept me in splits for the entire day. Or spoke about that interesting piece of news that caught my eye or that Instagram post/reel that perfectly resonated with how I feel about certain situations. I just want to come…
