Please stop growing…not really…yes, really…no..

by Suchitraupdated on January 22, 2017July 19, 2016Leave a Comment on Please stop growing…not really…yes, really…no..

TJ will be 2.5 years next month. Yes, my little boy whom I can still remember holding as a newborn, is going to be two-and-a-half years old!!! My other little one, my munchmuffin will turn 4 months this week…the kids are growing up and every day, I feel just a little bit nostalgic for what …

5 Challenges of being a Firstborn

by Suchitraon July 15, 2016July 15, 20166 Comments on 5 Challenges of being a Firstborn

Most people, myself included, will be forgiven for thinking that firstborns have all the advantages over their younger siblings. After all, they got their parents’ undivided attention for a while before the next one came along. They were fussed over, hovered over, and attended to perhaps far more than any of their siblings. Parents could …

My Top 10 Favorite Times of the Day

by Suchitraupdated on January 21, 2017June 13, 2016Leave a Comment on My Top 10 Favorite Times of the Day

Before I had kids I never really had favorite times of the day. Don’t get me wrong. I did enjoy my peaceful alone times by Lake Michigan, the times I would go jogging by myself without having to push a BOB, the days I completed all those 5k races

Baby nap and sleep schedules

by Suchitraupdated on January 21, 2017June 10, 20162 Comments on Baby nap and sleep schedules

There are days and then there are days. The days when most things go right and I take pleasure at a job well done, praising myself even for having kept my cool, nurtured my children into a great future by reading and singing to them, teaching them new things, appreciating their contributions to our family

I cried. Wasn’t the first time. Won’t be the last.

by Suchitraupdated on May 22, 2017June 7, 20164 Comments on I cried. Wasn’t the first time. Won’t be the last.

In my ongoing identity transition or should I more appropriately say, my frustrations with having to morph myself into a reluctant SAHM identity, I have many struggles. Daily. I am just not the stay at home kinds as I have previously written. I am just not made of that grain. I don’t know if I …

Just one of those days

by Suchitraupdated on January 21, 2017May 27, 20162 Comments on Just one of those days

I am supremely exhausted today. I just put Baby E down for the night at 7:45 p.m. That baby has barely slept 2 hours all day today. How do people with multiple kids manage their little ones’ naps when they also have to manage a rambunctious and noisy toddler or older sibling? Beloved J and …

J attends his first birthday party

by Suchitraupdated on March 2, 2017May 16, 2015Leave a Comment on J attends his first birthday party

Little J attended his first birthday party today. My colleague’s son, Aarav, turns 2 next week and we attended a celebration of that day. The party was between 1 – 4 p.m. which was a great time frame for us. We believe J is going through some kind of a growth spurt which is why …

Changing Sleep Schedules

by Suchitraupdated on January 22, 2017February 15, 2015Leave a Comment on Changing Sleep Schedules

Baby J is almost one now. I can’t believe I started this blog while pregnant, updated it a little over the pregnancy, wrote most of the posts in the early post-partum days and will soon be writing posts about my toddler. How time flies!! J used to be a three naps a day kid. He …
