Having two boys, with birthdays three weeks of eachother equals to one big birthday party for both. However, since the boys are four years apart, finding a theme that they would both enjoy can be a bit tricky. Last year, I organized a carnival theme for Vishnu and focused on a magic theme for Karthik. Fortunately both themes correlated and Read More …
The past summer Akshaya watched Peter Pan for the first time and she fell in love with the movie, particularly Tinkerbell. It was no surprise when she requested a Tinkerbell themed party in December for her 7th birthday. In seven years, this is probably the second time that Akshaya has asked for a licensed character themed party. I am not Read More …
In just five days, my youngest baby will be turning a year old and I’m still in awe over how quickly we have gotten to this special milestone in Vishnu’s life. It’s so surreal to think that Vishnu has been part of this family for a whole year when I feel like I just brought him home from the hospital. I feel so lucky to have Vishnu Read More …
Tomorrow will mark five whole years since my little Karthik came into this world, nevertheless I remember every single detail of my pregnancy and his birth like it was yesterday. I can’t really say that I enjoyed my pregnancy with Karthik, but having him here makes everything that I went through worthwhile. He is kind, funny, smart, always smiling, and loves Read More …
As soon as I posted The Modern Day Brown Mom, I knew the questions and comments would coming flooding in. I haven’t gotten back to everyone yet and I haven’t posted any of the recipes that have been requested but all these things take time and time is something that I am in desperate need of. No matter how fast Read More …

Secondly, I have to mention that I really appreciate the lovely emails I receive inquiring about my family’s well-being.

Ever since my little Udayan was a baby he was fascinated by the sky and especially the moon. Actually “moon” was one of his first words and for a good year or two he wouldn’t go to sleep at night without first having seen the moon. Over the years I have encouraged my son’s interest in outerspace by buying him books, puzzles and Read More …
The birth of my son and the last two months leading up to his birth were stressful so we were really surprised and relieved when Achyuthan was born without any complications after an intense labour. However a day after his birth while still at the hospital, I started to notice that he was twitching a lot. To me it didn’t seem like the Read More …
I am happy to announce that my husband and I welcomed our son Achyuthan Vishnu Danancheyan, to this world on the night of June 6th, 2016. He arrived weighing 5lbs and 11 oz. a little over three weeks early. Those of you who read my previous post, know that at 35 weeks pregnant I was hospitalized with severe inflammation and joint pain thought to be brought Read More …
I am just two days shy of 37 weeks pregnant which is really wonderful as my OBGYN initially expected to deliver my son at around 32 weeks if my lupus symptoms continued to get worse. I experienced an episode of slight inflammation and joint pain around 28 weeks but thankfully it subsided within a week before reappearing a solid six weeks later. Starting at Read More …
