Random Rambling - July 2014

It's just busy, busy and busy over at my end, and I hope it's same for others too with Summer around. I feel like summer vacation was just started couple of days back, and it seems July is almost over. few updates from my end. 

* Last weekend, Dear Daddy did take care of both daughters when grandma was away for 3 days. As I was working, It was him to do everything for them from brushing, bathing and grooming and eating breakfast and Lunch too. must say, he manage pretty well. I will say they had awesome time together. 1st Day when I was working in evening, they had dinner which I made for them and went out at Ba-skin Robins for Ice cream treat and girls were supper happy. Next day they did watch movie and eat some snake with daddy. When I ask him, did they trouble, he was like taking pride, My daughter never trouble me, they are mine, They behaved very well. I was happy to listen that.

* Aaryana is getting very naughty day by day. She loves to play outside and she always want to go for park and always want to bye bye in car. She is the one who is keeping very busy all of us at home. She loves her mini slide. It's hours of fun for her. She learned to do slide other way around from her big sister and now she loves to do that. I took some pics of her doing those silly mistakes. She learns hiding things at home. Most of the time it's her grand ma'a eye glasses. We all will be finding and then we see her playing with it quietly. 2 days back, she was wearing them and pretend as grand maa. She looks very cute and innocent. I really wish time to freeze, as I don't want my baby to grow out. She is our cutest and sweetest princess. I have grown lots of flowers in our back yard garden, and I use to worship god while puja. she see me doing this everyday and now, before I pluck them, she get some for me and for her too. She is always behind her Big sister, she won't let her go to play outside with her friends, specially when she is awake. 

* Ananyaa is supper excited about her dance class. so far she attained 3 classes only, but she is doing pretty well. I was surprise to see her dancing in full flow. Before her vacation ends, I have to take her to beach place and water kingdom. Hope weather stay warm enough to take her those places. They both loves splash, took them few time to play over there. She is learning Maths at home from me and daddy, I feel sorry when she say's it's me who always keep studying in vacation also, you make me to do so. I know, I am little harsh to do so with her, but I guess it's good to make them learn in vacation for hour, I guess that will help her in grade 2 and also it will be manageable once school is started. 

* I love to spend my extra time in our garden, watering plants and taking care of them. Most of the time Ananyaa see me doing so. One day she came to me as she want to have freeze and her grandma was not finding one in freezer. I told her, let me finish what I am doing and then I will give you, which took me little long, she came back again and got upset with me. 

She told me, " Do you love your plants, more than your kids (me) tell me...do you ?" 

And I was like, don't you know, it has life too. They need love and care to grow and give us flowers and fruits and vegetables. 

She replied, I know all that. but tell me you want me to die hungry, I was keep asking you for freeze and you didn't gave me one. 

Me - so you are hungry and that's why being fussy with me, So why don't we have food first and then you can enjoy your freeze as a desert.

She - Ok Mumma, that's a good Idea...but I am really hungry, give me one freeze first. :)  :)

basically, I guess she was not getting that she really need to have food. I have seen, when kids have empty stomach, than they do this silly stuff, and that's what she did that day. She was not getting my point to eat food first. she was all into freeze only. Finally I lost the battle and gave freeze to her. She was at peace and so am I.

 Few Pics to remember this Joly July !

Playing Together :)

Happy Day 7 - Play Date with Friends and March Messup...

Happiness is – to see kids having fun on their Play date meet. It was bad weather yesterday, with lots of Snow. Kids play date was at friends home, and I get to drive them. When I started with them, I can feel that it’s very slippery road, at one point I thought, let’s cancel this trip, but no I didn’t and Drove slowly. It was fun for them to bake Muffin and have some pretty fun time playing together. I know it was short visit, but worth it. It’s always fun with friends for us and for them too…isn’t it!!!! #KidsPlayDate

Happiness to me is to see Friends after such a long time. It was Kids Play Date and I guess Friends (Moomies) Date too. Got to see 2 friends after such a long time, along with their kids. It was short visit but we talk about almost everything, Kids, life, work, new recipes, new songs, and new dresses etc, etc….It was one friends B’day 2 days back and got to see her today so wished her Belated Happy B’day as well. #HappinessIsWhereFriendsMeet

Happiness is to get -8 temp. today after having horrible day with full of Snow yesterday, and then -24 temp in night. Yes Its -8 temp. with Bright and Sunny Day, which makes me happy as I love Sun. Winter is kind of back in Canada  and yesterday was March Mashup. 

Happiness is – to think that it was really bad and messy day yesterday as we got so much of Snow again in mid of march, driving was bad and way too messy with Heavy snow, powerful winds and icy road. Still I reached at work safely and glad to know that everyone around me also reached their destination safely. I was always creeping for horrible weather this year in Canada, but after seeing yesterday’s weather, I was feeling sorry for those people, who were homeless and workless too. Where to go for them, at least we have some where to go at the end of day. Still they are fighting with Life and trying to get shelter somewhere. That thought makes me happy that I have Home to go and Family to wait for me. #Weather

Happiness is - to see myself Optimistic towards weather. No more creeping. After yesterday snow storm, I am still hopeful to have spring soon. It says spring is just one week away, but weather continues to hold winter in Canda. #HopefullMe

It's sweet sister-in-laws Shree's B'day...so wishing her A Very Happy B'day :) 

Leaving you with our Fav Song these days...Enjoy !!!

Happy Day 1

I love reading and do read many good blogger over on web....most of the time I relay myself to then, like they are in my shoe or I am in their shoe, either way around and that's how I am connected to them. I must say, they are very good in writing compare to me. Anyway I am writing for myself, to note down on my memory lane. I follow many blogs publicly and anonymously as well and today I got inspired to write about everyday Happiness from one of Blog, which I read almost every time. Its really good way to note down your  feeling, towards yourself, life, family, friends, etc. So I am goona try and see how it works with me. Happiness for me is to make my soul happy, celebrating small things in Life.

Happiness is to see my girls waking up with smiley face, tells me that they had good night sleep and so now it will be Good Day a head  :) LifeIsMoreBeautiful

Happiness is when I told Ananyaa that I have no cash money to submit for Pizza treat at School for next Month, She say's it's ok Mumma, we will bake one at Home together. Love you for that. #SheIsMyBestBaccha

Happiness is you manage some how to message you friend something IMP, when you are running out of time to reach at work and same time also to pick someone on the way to work which I did today. #IWasAtMyBest.

Happiness is, Today when Mom was making garam garam Banana's Bhajias and I enjoyed right away, I miss eating like that way in India, thanks for doing that, Love you always, Humesha #MyMomIsBestCook. 

So that was my Happy Day today, I guess its great try ! Isn't it.....hope I keep writing more...

Elbow Fracture

New Year didn't started in good way to our Family. Ananyaa got fall down and broke her elbow and now she is in cast as she got Elbow fracture. As per Doc. it's minor so no surgery needed, it should be healing naturally, but she has to have cast(plaster) on her hand for 4 weeks.


Last Monday on 16, Jan, she fall down and she was in pain that we cannot see her crying, and today she is feeling better and running around and it's big deal at home to take care of her. Yesterday morning I find her sleeping on her broken elbow with plaster and I was so worried. later I find from someone, that it's completely OK if she is feels comfortable. We didn't send her School for this week, though she was insisting to go for it. she might join school back from coming Monday. Her Teacher assure me that she will take care of her.


It's Friday Today and she had Specialist Pediatric Orthopedic appointment Today.  She went hospital with Daddy and she got new cast. they just changed her plaster. Just spoke to Daddy and with her and they are back to Home.


It's so much Painful for us to see her like that. My heart was broken that day & I was crying lot, She was so happy that day as we planed to go for her fav movie, "Beauty and the Beast" with his friend and unfortunately we end up taking her to hospital in emergency.They made us wait for Doc. She was getting more fuzzy and Daddy was trying to cheer her, making her laugh, and telling her story about him, how he fall down in his childhood. She was crying and smiling at same time, that makes me more cry. I can see Rit's pain, I was knowing very well, what he is going through, but as it say's My Dad is Strongest, he proved that. He didn't lose his emotions in front of her, though he was all broke down afterwards.


We all are more cautious for her now at home. I know new year didn't started in good way but I am still hoping to have Good Days a Head with lots of fun and Happiness with Baby on her Way.
Happy New Year to Everyone.


Love,


Anu Shah

Happy Canada Day !!!

Happy 144th B'day to Canada....Home Away From Home......

I must write, with each day, I Love this Country More and More...as per Rit's it's Karma Bhumi for us and for many others & I do love INDIA as it's our Janama Bhumi...(Motherland) our roots are still there...Everyone know's that to get something, to achieve something in Life, we have to do some compromise, and for leaving away from home land is one of that big compromise to do so, as we leave Family & Friends behind to miss them forever......and I guess I have made this country, my HOME, away from HOME.

Do I have Clean Mind ?

Ok now this thought is bothering me after I wrote my previous post for Spring Clean....I have cleaned Everything at Home...But…Do I have Clean Mind ???? so here I go…let me share you what I have read fews days back, from book named, “ THE SECRET” by Christian D. Larson – 1912. Book is all about to think Positive in Life. This is a great book to get motivated, when you are trapped in your life and can't figure out what to do, this book have great stories to help you see the light at the end of the tunnel. One can certainly take some good lessons away from the book. So here I go…mine is over here….I read over it somewhere n I would like to share same…. I Promise myself too 

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind. 

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet. 

To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them. Friends are the best creatures in your life, respect them.

To look at the sunny side of everything, and make my optimism come true. 

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best. 

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. 

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet. 

To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others. 

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. 

To think well of myself and for world around too in a great deeds.

To learn,there are always ups and downs. Respect ups and learn from downs.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

To give so much of my time to Family and specially to my Daughter.

Love what you do, if you can’t love what you do and you don’t have any strong reasons, there is no point in dragging it – it would only hurt.

I hope you enjoy your Spring cleaning as much as I did mine ! If anyone is reading this, please try to put in practice as well….It really worked out….

Love

Wish there was a time machine where we could stop time or just turn back time to moments of perfection.....hmmm....

I know I go into these moods rarely and I also know that I come out stronger ..so I guess its just a matter of time...and the smile will return for nothing can really upset the queen of optimism!! right??well...well...I m all Good...but bit upset with something....happen in last 1 week....and I hope u all are having Good Time....
