Back To School: Smiling Through A Round of Worries Each Morning

So, school has finally begun for my 05-year-old again, and even though I was thinking it would be easier this time, I must admit it's quite a challenge - especially with her progress into primary school from montessori and having to become all grown-up in the amount of time she spends for school - 08 hours each day for school at 05 years of age is, I feel, a crime to let kids go through!

But simply can't help it as that's how it is!

So even though the last 3 years of Montessori passed on quite smoothly, of course there were the initial tears in the first couple of weeks the first year, my daughter was happy about school - but this time round, I can't say the same.


I am a born night-bird, and much as I can see it now, so is my daughter, and this fact is not helping either me or my little one. While I have my own issues to fight each day to wake up in the morning, it's a different game plan altogether to make her wake up in time for the school bus.

Meeting The Tiger Mom Amy Chua 'Battle Hymn of The Tiger Mom'

I recently attended a talk by Amy Chua, the author of the book, “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.’ A year ago, a provocative review of her book by Wall Street Journal propelled her into the list of mosttalked-about and most-vilified people, as parents (mainly in the West) collectively gasped in horror at her authoritative and harsh parenting methods.

For us in the East, such kind of parenting was something many of us have seen, heard about or even
experienced, although we might not subscribe to those methods any more.

Baby Shower Theme Ideas

So someone's having a baby shower? Congrats! 

Here are a few party theme ideas that can come handy.....

Planning That Baby Shower Party: Some Things You May Like To Know

The stork has visited and it's time for a new member to pop up ...... ready for a party?

If you haven't heard of a baby shower party yet, don't worry. Many mums, especially Indian mums, still don't go for a celebratory baby shower party, as it is considered inappropriate in many Indian customs to celebrate baby's arrival pre-birth.

While the custom originally is that someone else should throw the baby shower party for you, it's absolutely fine if you plan your own and organise it. You don't need to wait those 9 months for someone to do it for you, it's entirely okay if you do it for yourself :-)

It's almost here, Fathers' Day that is.....This year, Father's Day is on the 16th of June 2013.

While there are sooo many gifts out there at the stores to gift dads, there's nothing like a home-made gift, a personalised DIY thingy, especially special if done with the help of your baby/child. So even while you may have browsed through your options online or at the stores, here are some of the really amazing DIY Father's Day gift ideas I liked while surfing the web.

Do You Know How To Read Nutrition Labels?

From my experience, even among the educated, ‘Nutrition Literacy’ is far from where it should be and learning to read nutrition labels can be a good starting point.

Most of us walk into a grocery store and add items to our basket, blissfully unaware of what nutrition it actually delivers. In fact, many of us hardly ever stop to read the label and even if we do get around to looking at it, we may not be sure what the numbers imply.

So here are some pointers which will help you decide if the product falls in the “healthy or not so healthy category” and how often you or your child should consume it.

“No Label Don’t Buy": check for nutrition label on the food pack you buy. Today, all food manufacturers
in the country have to declare the following on a label -
