Right in the middle of the Bellevue city,Washington just 30 minutes drive from our home lies one of the easiest,fun,scenic kid friendly trail called the Bellefields Loop Trail. We did this trail the evening before we went on the RattleSnake Trail. The Bellefields trails lies in the 320-acre Mercer Slough Nature Park and it loops through upland forest and scrub-shrub wetland,a scenic gift for those tired eyes. The Mercer Slough is Lake Washington’s largest remaining wetland and home to to…
The first two parts of our trip is covered in The Beginning and The Campsite,this here is the final part of our road trip. Back To Campsite Soon the temperatures dropped and it was time to head back to campsite.We retreated into our RV’s to change into fresh clothes and in came the sand with the girls, eventually ending on the bed! As the skies turned a shade darker,the men headed to get logs for the campfire and while the…
Hello, did you just land on this post?

On a warm wet spring afternoon of Mother’s day we completed the second hike of 2021-Coal Creek Falls!An easy and shorter hike than Wallace falls,I for one enjoyed the hike more than the water falls on this one trail.Narrow muddy trail in the midst of the evergreen trees and delightful bird songs as we hiked towards the waterfalls was really the highlight of Mother’s Day.
Washington is known for its greenery and trails.On any warm day you’ll find trails thronged with hiker, young, old and even kids.With a bucket list of hikes to complete there are those who hike throughout the year,even in peak winters! No,I am not one of those hikers,I am though part of a facebook hiking group.Most days I am just admiring their grit as they share their conquests in the group !😛 We started hiking just last year when our summer…
After a week long break,the girls went back to school today! Can you tell that I am smiling ear to ear as I write this post ?😁.While the break was good,I am happy to get some time to write without the girls hovering around me. Having and caring for children is like being on an adventure.You better jump in with all your wit and energy or they’ll devour you at the first chance they get 😂.Do you agree or agree?…
Hi there,my girls are home this entire week for spring break.Sadly both the girls came down with a cold just as their break started and now we are basically home abound trying to make the best of the remaining few days.We did the egg hunt few days ago. Just as I was exposed to many different Indian festivals while growing up, my girls too are getting introduced to many new festivals and traditions from around the world.As they grow in…
I had one of the best April Fools day one that we are going to remember for years to come! Are you into April Fools day?There was a time when I would invest my time plotting on my inner circle and go all out trying to fool them,not anymore. If not for V‘s excitement for this day I wouldn’t even bother with April 1st. Now with N getting the hang of the day,we are entertained with “Mama,there is a elephant…
🎉Ms.Curious is a senior Red Belt.She’s exactly one belt away from becoming a Black Belt.🎉 It has taken a lot of practice,patience and hard work for her to reach where she’s today!We are so proud of her.

You read all about about Curious’s love affair with snow and how we were missing it this year in Sledding Day 2021 . For her sake, I really wanted it to snow. Well my prayers were finally answered and how! To give you an idea, as per official records, this was highest snow recorded in Seattle in last 52 years. Unlike the heavy windy snow we witnessed last year, we were treated to lighter, calmer snowfall this year. Dreamy fluffy…
Who doesn’t love tacos? I love love tacos and my current favorite is the Tacos Camarones . I could go on and on about tacos but I am here to talk about the book so we will save Tacos for some other time. Dragons Love Tacos is a hilarious ,delicious read aloud picture book for children between the ages of 3-5. It would make a fun read aloud book for early elementary kids too. This book was published in 2012….
