When I saw this dress at @revolverraleigh months ago, I literally gasped because it so perfectly oozed #MollyRingwald charm. I mean come on!! I had to have it even though at the time I strongly believed that I would never wear it. (I briefly imagined chaperoning Asha's prom in this dress if the theme was right, but that's about it 😂). And then @docundev secured a very coveted dinner reservation at @jolierestaurant last night and I realized if there ever was a place in Raleigh where I would feel happy wearing this dress, it would be at the French themed bistro Jolie! I felt decades younger in all that flouncy pink polyester!! It was just the best. 🥰 Thanks to the world's best neighbor @sondrajohnstone for making this amazing evening possible. ♥️ A few pictures from our date with friends at Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Durham. Have you guys been lately? . . . #discoverdurham #durhamnc #sarahpdukegardens #durhamregion #bullvoyage #thisisnc Circa 1997, when I was 16 and road-tripping in the Swiss Alps! 🇨🇭⛰️🏔️🏞️ Fast forward 2019, we are headed their again in a few weeks with the kids. Yeah, it's been a while! 😉 I would love your recommendations/tips for Zurich, Luzern, Interlaken, Montreux, Geneva, Gruyeres, and anywhere inbetween. ♥️ Before we immigrated to North Carolina from India in the summer of 1997, my parents decided to make a month long pitstop in Brussels. We stayed with my mom's best friends Dina Masi and Piyush Masa, and basically had the time of our life visiting as many cities around Europe as possible (this was also when I would visit Paris for the first time). Some thought it crazy ("why do it when you are already headed to America and why waste all that money?"). But my parents must have known how our lives would forever change, never ever giving us the opportunity to travel so happily and freely - the four of us together - for a whole month! Truly the best decision of their life I think! I had only seen snow once before I got to the Alps. I also remember gaining a few pounds because I couldn't stop eating the cheese. 🧀 And now I get to do it again with @docundev and 👧👦👶! Do you guys know about Henna? It is most commonly associated with Indian brides and special occasions, but for me it is also part of everyday play! And it's definitely not just for girls!! Head on to Hello-Namaste.com for more fun pictures and how-to tips for anyone who finds henna fascinating but is too intimidated to try! ✋👌😁🇮🇳 Never too young to help in the kitchen.👶 Here is my personal bell pepper washer who did a very thorough job, and helped me whip up these (hopefully tasty) couscous and ricotta cheese stuffed peppers. Full disclosure: He later spilled that whole tub of water on the floor. And as every parent's reaction would be after a long full day, I took a big sigh and yelled "yay, look our floor is now cleaner." Not. 😌 Say "Bell Peppers"! 🥰 Good thing I have so many children because the bell-pepper harvest in our yard this morning was bounty full. In case you missed last week's INDY magazine - @indyweek - yours truly had a few things to say about parenting advice seekers. The column is still up on the website so make sure to check it out (https://indyweek.com/topics/chika-gujarathi/). Oh and thanks @thejadewilson for this awesome headshot! #Repost @indyweek ・・・ "Parents: Stop trying so hard. You’ll be fine," writes #parenting expert Chika Gujarathi in this week's #Voices column. If you’re a new parent, she says, the pressure to be perfect starts as soon as it’s time to put together your baby registry. But the truth is, no amount of gadgets will stop a baby from crying, pooping, being gassy, and making you want to cry from time to time, too. In Gujarathi's experience, babies love free things: kisses, hugs, walks, and snuggles. The rest exists to make parents feel better about themselves. Once the baby is here and growing, however, it doesn’t take long to realize that perfection isn’t the real goal. The real goal is getting through the day with your sanity intact.
