On the 4th day of 2016 my kid went back to schoooool...and a partridge in a pear tree! Not! I couldn't help myself...am still in holiday mode and the 12 days of Christmas is one of my favorite holiday songs along with the Carol of the Bells. But this version of the latter is one...

Me Being Me…
I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't indulge in gripes about my pet peeves. So what if it's at the start of the year? This way am getting some rants and grumbles out of my system so there's less to spew and gnash my teeth about! I have made a couple of decisions.... Continue Reading →

2015 is about to come to a close and yet there were times it seemed to drag itself out unendingly! Biggest news from our side is that the brat is now in a big kids' school. He's only in first grade but he seems to be changing perceptibly in front of our eyes. He's learning... Continue Reading →

Mommyhood: Some Truths
Any mother will eventually admit to this- they love their kids the most when the children are either asleep or doing something that doesn't require them (the moms) to be an active participant all the time. See the thing with kids is this- you are doing things with them, for them, watching them do things... Continue Reading →
The Therapy Behind The Retail
I can squeeze every last drop of therapy from retail therapy. Especially the online kind. Here's why it's fairly harmless and here are its benefits (and this is a prime example of Freud's rationalization) : If we really wanted to buy things, we'd go physically instead of cozying up with the laptop or some annoying...
