Watching: Thor Ragnarok. I am so in love with this movie. I love the humor!
Eating: Watermelon and fresh strawberries. We plucked the strawberries from a farm nearby. They are so sweet and juicy!!
Making: a list of projects for my #100craftadventures on instagram (I will update this in our blog soon)
Wishing for: a lovely sunny weekend so we can do more hiking, swimming and spending time together.
Learning: to experiment different food recipes for us and Neel (I don’t want Neel to be as picky as I am when it comes to food) and different methods to keep Neel busy while I work at home.
Thinking: about starting a Moms group or a Reading group here. Hope it works.
Listening: to Tamil songs like Aluma Doluma & Donu Donu.. Thanks to Manasa, now I cannot get these songs out of my head. Even Neel starts to dance when we play them on the radio.
Loving: my “Today I am happy about” journal where I list out at least 5 things that made me happy every day. It is just to remind me that no matter how bad a day goes, I need to see the bright side.
Here’s what I had to say:
Reading: “Writer Mama” by Christina Katz. I’ve had this book since forever, but I’m reading it now. Guess I never considered myself a writer. Can I call myself a writer now? I always write, don’t I? I still wonder…
Watching: “The Hollars” on Amazon Prime. I’m only now beginning to enjoy the perks of watching what I want on the Prime app on my phone.
Eating: Mangoes. Lots and lots of Mangoes. ‘Tis the season, y’all….
Making: Masks, Animal masks, for Medha’s Inter-house Competition at school.
Wishing for: more time to do some creative projects plus more time to relax. Is that too much to ask?
Learning: how to do make-up that looks natural. My skin isn’t the same I had in my 20s. Sigh!
Thinking: about how mamas are being so so protective these days. Is that healthy?
Listening: to Marie Forleo’s Interviews on Youtube. She brings such inspiring people to her channel.
I'm Manasa, a mother of 2, a teacher, a reader and a writer, living in a big family in India. With this blog my sister and I wish to share our stories of motherhood and travels. When I'm not cooking elaborate meals while listening to podcasts , I'm watching booktubers and chick-flicks on Netflix.

You may want to read this book: https://www.amazon.com/How-Raise-Adult-Overparenting-Prepare-ebook/dp/B00OO2LJS2
I am actually reading that book even though I am yet to have a kid. There are some really good points in there! Madhurya may like it too since both of you have kids 🙂
