• It’s like running a marathon without running a marathon.

    I would know this because I ran a marathon once, that going out with two little kids is just as much effort (and without the sideline crowds cheering you on).  I am so proud of Asha and Arjun though because somehow they always manage to make the effort worthwhile.  Today we walked to the Museum…

  • Winning

    Today was one of those magical days when Arjun slept forever. It gave me a chance to unpack the last few boxes, organize some closets, rearrange the pantry, do the laundry, clean the bathroom, make dinner, hang pictures, and even wash my hair.  After every chore I would peek in his room to make sure…

  • Monday Funday

    I love Mondays, said no one ever.  But lately I am digging the start of a new week. On weekends we seem to run around having fun with the littles leaving no time for projects in my head.  Mondays though, miraculous everyone gets back in the rhythm of the routine and I get to refocus on…

    I never realized this until two weeks ago that our Chicago home does not have a doorbell. If you’ve visited, you already know that what we have instead is a complicated system of locked gates and a buzzer that only works once you are half way up. It was/is a pain and has made itself…

  • The First Raksha-bandhan

    There isn’t anything sweeter in my life than these two right here. Asha has “taught” Arjun to hold her hand in a handshake and repeat nice to meet you to which Arjun heartly growls .  The two also have a roaring match and tickle time.  And often I will see Asha grab one of her books…
