I have to be realistic about this world and ever after, rise and fall of life journey. Should have FAITH in Allah Almighty. 2. No more trying to be sensitive, emotional becoming over ambitious or obsessed but to remain CALM. Be thankful for what positive things I have in my life. Not to remain confused about my personality or decisions. Instead I have to be FIRM. 3. Handle Stress on daily basis by taking out 30 mins each day for my hobby. 4.

I  bought Phitkari Powder (Alum in English?  ) from some herbalist shop in my locality. It can be in hard as well as powdered form. I bought the powdered one. It has no smell itself but it also helps in diminishing underarm smells. Tried and tested. This time I spray Arq e Gulab (Rose Water) over it and it smells so good. Thought I should share it with all my blog followers. It is not a diy from scratch but some home remedy kinda sharing. Hope it is helpful idea for someone looking for natural sunstitute for  branded sprays and all.

Finally I got the time to reorganize my kitchen cabinets. I first of all got rid of all unnecessary items and tried my best to adopt minimalism (you will now on read this word a lot on my blog these days). The picture is taken from Internet but mine are not that attractive ,maybe will either put sticker or buy new ones some day if it's written in my fate... (who knows!!!) Anyways I have organised in following categories: 1. 2 shelves for spices 2.1 shelf for baking items and legumes 3.1 shelf for tea items 4. 2 shelves for main dishes. 5. 1 shelf for guest serving crockery 6. 1 shelf for thermos and trays 7. 1 shelf for food containers and family lunch boxes. 8. 1 shelf for disposable plates,spoons and glasses etc (if there is shortage of water in building or I am too busy (or in no mood) to wash dishes. 9. 2 shelves for machinery 10. 2 shelves for pots 11. 1 shelf for pans and plastic bowls/strainers etc 12. 1 shelf for oils and sprays etc Now in drawers: a. 1 drawe

Assalam Alaikum It has been long long time when I last posted here. Things have changed a lot. My love for blogging was not diminished but life was taking its toll. I am now a mother of another child and now I have 2 kids.Alhmadulillah. Children demand so much of our time and it is of course their right to seek our attention. We ourselves love and enjoy everyday seeing them grow.I do am really sleep deprived and was too much out of shape but trying my best to reduce baby weight slowly. There is lot to talk about but my elder child is calling me. See you after short break with lot of topics coming their way from my mind.

1. Children need a minimum of eight touches during a day to feel connected to a parent. If they’re going through a particularly challenging time, it’s a minimum of 12 a day. This doesn’t have to be a big deal; it could be the straightening of a collar, a pat on the shoulder or a simple hug. 2. Each day, children need one meaningful eye-to-eye conversation with a parent. It is especially important for babies to have that eye contact, but children of all ages need us to slow down and look them in the eyes. 3. There are nine minutes during the day that have the greatest impact on a child: the first three minutes right after they wake up the three minutes after they come home from school the last three minutes of the day before they go to bed We need to make those moments special and help our children feel loved. These are simple, right? Nothing really earth-shattering here. But try it for a month.

Don't waste your precious time standing for hours in the kitchen. 🍒Tips for time utilization in relation to food: 🍒1- Search fun,simple and quick recipes now and save them for Ramadan. It took me a long time to find quick,simple and good recipes but it was time well spent. 🍒2- Try and do meals that depend on putting something in the oven or slow cooker that doesn't necessarily need you standing there. 🍒3- Limit frying as much as possible. It wastes time and is not healthy anyway. 🍒4- Kids breakfast,lunch and snacks during the day should be healthy but choose no cooking options. Plenty of raw fruit and veggies, healthy smoothies,sandwiches....etc. 🍒5- Limit extra sweets, so yo
