You know your in your thirties when...

After being bombarded with  countless articles on age and such on the net & newspapers alike.\, out of sheer lack-of-interesting-topics , I decided to try writing one too! I did some serious thinking & came up with the you know your in  your thirties when... *Creative eh?*   Be my guest, I am ready for all bricks and bats *duck*

1. You blatantly refuse to acknowledge your age! how original

2 .You  relate to the agony of those who are 40 plus,  more now  than ever,  actually feeling sorry that you once referred to  them as the oldies .!! Empathize with them, knowing your destined to same sooner or later. Duh

3.When you across articles such as How to fight 7 signs of ageing, rather than turning the page over, you sit up and read, making mental notes of what to try back at home! Sharing little home secrets on how to fight those soon-to-be-visible wrinkles with your friends and family alike. Grow up

4.  Officially , from now until eternity you are struck with the tag of  Aunt or Uncle for every kid in your family, your neighborhood and otherwise. The sooner you accept it, the easier it will be to deal with it! My sympathies

5. Your morning ritual now includes applying a handful of anti-ageing creams,sun screens! Come Again?

6. Your prefer home parties to one in a restaurant  on most of the days,  Chilling with friends at home over beer sounds more tempting than dancing  away the  night in discs.  Stingy


Oh, I can't do it anymore!! . And, here I thought it was going to be easy peasy.

How blissfully ignorant my parents have been, not knowing,  all that they missed starting from their 30's, 40's , 50's....If not for 5  awesome places you should visit before 35, 10 things you didn't  know about 40's, what no one told you about 30's  ..I would be blissfully ignorant too, growing wiser and smarter each year *wink* .Alas, I am given no choice.

If that isn't enough,with festivities just around the corner I am inundated with articles in the newspaper too, 10 ways to dress that make you look slimmer, 5 make up ideas to hide those wrinkles Grrrrr. 

Of course, I have a choice to ignore these. But then again, Only the curious have something to find. *unapologetic

Please accept my sincere apologies, it takes a lot more hard work sans creativity to write one. I bow down in utter humility.

How will I grow?

 The cutest thing happened a few days ago and it went like this  "But then , how will I grow ?"  Before I tell you all about it, let's rewind a bit,  It all started with Potty Training I know mommies, I have your attention now ! I started potty training Little when she was about 6 months old.  Now when you have the second one, most of you may agree with me,   you just want to replicate your successes you had with your first one.  You see  , Curious trained pretty quickly, I started with her when she about 2.3 years old.  By her 3rd birthday she was night time trained , like 0 diapers  except on long drives!    I got a wee bit ambitious with Little . As soon as she started sitting up, I decided to start her training. First step of course was buying the right potty seat, thankfully this time I knew exactly what I wanted, I had only two criteria should be soft on her butt and damn easy to clean. I scoured the internet , chec...

You are just done!

"Losing respect for someone, is always a weird thing ,you don't hate the person, you just don't feel the need to ever speak to them , again or even think about them in the same way.  You are just done" How apt is this? Please raise your hands or rather give me a  thumbs upšŸ‘ (courtesy zoom meetings!). How many of you have felt this way ? One too many times perhaps? These lines are not written by me, but it resonates with me, as to how I have been feeling off late. It  summarizes the hell out of one those peculiar situations you find yourself in.  Lets put things into perspective.  I have a story to tell, rather a long arduous one with all the drama , one which I would love for you to read about one day. Not today , not in this post.  Here is the gist though, I met someone, got tad too friendly  ( no one to blame here, that's me ) , got tad too excited ( things just panned out pretty well between us  or so it seemed at that time ), got too carried...

Sledding Day 2021

 We finally checked off "sledding" from our bucket list of winter-things-to-do-every-year! Constant reminders followed by accusations of-being-unfair or no fair  topped with  extra drama from a certain 8 year old for over a month now, finally forced us into making that trip to   Leavenworth .  The drive was breath taking,  It's like one of those stunning winter wonderland kind of drive that you always watch in movie   and what made it perfect was that we had a visit from Mr. Sun himself.  It was gorgeous day to be out. Fun have she did. Just as Yoda would say it. Its a different thing, that  the way back home wasn't as much fun, having being stuck in a traffic jam for over 3 hours! Was it all worth it ? You bet , 2 hours of pure unaltered  fun for the girls and dad alike!  This would be the first year since we moved to the States in early January of 2016   that we have hadn't had a proper snow fall well   definit...
