The kids are working on their reflections of 2019 by reading through last year’s gratitude journal. We also worked on personal and family goals for 2020. As a family our goals are to: 1) Go on a hike/nature walk once a week. I tend to stay home in the winter because I have a strong aversion to cold so this Read More …
For the past three years, Udayan and Achyuthan have been celebrating their birthdays together and so far they love it! Even choosing a theme that my boys, four years apart, both like has not been as difficult as I had previously thought. This year Jurassic Park-obsessed Udayan chose a dinosaur theme and Achyuthan couldn’t be happier since his latest craze Read More …
Yesterday, we decided to visit the Pickering Museum Village. The children really enjoy visiting the ROM and they enjoyed our trip to the Canadian Automotive Museum so I thought another museum visit would be a great idea, particularly because there is so much potential to learn in these kinds of environment.

As far as I can remember I have always been a spiritual person, trying to unravel the mystery of our existence, learning about and making connections between religions, and whole-heartedly believing that when you do good, good things follow.

The Allan Gardens Conservatory consists of six greenhouses which house tropical plants, plants from Australia and the Mediterranean, palms and seasonal plants, and cacti. The conservatory is a great escape from the city, cleverly located in the heart of the city. There is Read More …
My pen scribbles across paper under moonlight, careful not to wake the babe sleeping beside me. It’s one of those nights where emotions gradually consume me. I write when I’m feeling raw, angry, and unapologetic, and in need of an outlet. Writing is healing. Writing is cleansing. And really my only option to address the wounds plaguing my mind. I Read More …
Star Wars utilizes the fictional concept of the “Force”, which Obi-Wan Kenobi describes as an energy field created by all living things, which surrounds and penetrates us as it binds the galaxy together. Although the Force flows through every living being, the power of the force could only be harnessed by “force-sensitives”. The Force, which can be used for good Read More …
One of the goals I made for this year was to take the kids out to explore our city, every so often. There are so many hidden gems within our city which serve as great opportunities to learn some history or culture. During the March Break we a made a trip to the St. Lawrence Market, where we spent time Read More …
Akshaya turned eight this past December, but this time I decided to hold off our annual celebration until January of this year. Every December, I get overwhelmed with all that goes on during that month and having to organize and host a birthday party has always added to that stress. I was extremely happy with this decision and I couldn’t Read More …
