5 years back when we were blessed with a sweet daughter, I have decided “I will not resume my job until she will be 5.” Many people advised This is not the right decision; It will become a big gap; you will not get the good job later and many more. Even I too rethink once or twice when she turned 2 but when I reviewed the situation and emotional flow of a mother, I preferred to follow my heart only.

As I had only one thing to do “spend time with my Doll”, I read a lot about kids and parenting, almost each and every book and magazine I got and of course online blogs. I have started making notes on that in my own way (with practical implementation). I have started sharing my knowledge with my friends during parenting discussion and they really appreciated it. Many friends encouraged me to write and after a long thinking last year I came out with my first post. First time I published anything online and that really worked, worked a lot. My motive behind all these posts is just to encourage parents and help them to deal with their parenting issues. And I feel somehow (more or less) I succeed.

Here I would like to share my success with people who has been a part of my journey.

First of all I would like to thank my sweet little daughter because of whom I found my hidden talent and a dream avocation. I still love the way she asks “mama what did you write today?” and truly encourages me with “This is nice I like to talk about your office work!!! (with her own added tips).” She is a real inspiration of my life. Thank you baby.

Thank you Mukesh, A true friend who always supports me in each and every thing I do and shows me right path. Thank you for encouraging me to become a blogger.

Shivangi, my best friend who loves me enough to read and share each and every posts of mine (doesn’t matter how good or bad it is).

Suresh Ji, who gave me many useful tips on blogging as well gives me true feedback of my posts.

Sonal and Hemang (childhood friends), who shared their personal photos with forsterfeel.

Shweta Sharma, who encouraged me to write by admiring my point in parenting discussion.

Pooja and shwetha, who truly tries to implement all my tips. Thank you for having faith in me and my knowledge.

Priti A true fan, who always likes to read all the posts even though it’s on kids and parenting.

Epsita who indirectly inspires me to pursue my goal.

All my lovely readers who read my posts, send messages or post comments. Thank you all for your time and love.

Last but not least my husband who encourages me each and every day to write even though he is not a good reader (I don’t think he read any of these too).

Birthday is always special especially when it is kid’s birthday.  Parents always want to celebrate their kid’s birthday in a best memorable way to show their affection and thus here are birthday boosters to rock kids’ party in kids’ friendly way:

• Limit Your Guests List: Grand doesn’t always mean big. Kids are comfortable with friendly faces so invite limited known faces for the party. Invite your kid’s friends as many as you can and if your kid has big friends list limit it with her/his favorite ones. This will be beneficial in two ways 1. Your kid will freely enjoy the party 2. It will be more economic.  So restrict guests list to throw an economic and effortless party for you and your kid.

• Comfortable Birthday Dress: Birthday dress for kid is really a big thing to talk about. Normally as grown-ups we want to look them best but actually birthday is not for looking best it’s for looking happy and happiness cannot come without comfort. If your kid is younger than 3 years there is no need to make her/him fashion icon, just put on her/his favorite comfortable dress and s/he will be ready to enjoy the party. If your kid is above 3 years then try to get the dress of her/his choice. Try to make your kid’s dress as much light as you can so your kid can be comfortable in that and can enjoy with their full charm. Don’t ask your kid to wear matching accessories, yes if you think their choice is not comfortable then try to convince them by giving comfortable options. Remember your kid’s birthday party is for fun not a fashion show.
• Add Excitements: Kids loves balloons and bubbles. If you don’t want to invest much just do balloon decoration by your selves and if you think you can’t do that and it will look simple and so on then I will say for kids balloons are excitement not the way of arrangement so just blow the balloon and stick it the way you want or just put some balloons on the floor randomly and see how happily they will play with it and the biggest fun will be bursting the balloons. Bubbles are also very exciting just get the biggest bubble maker (automatic will be the best choice) and blow bubbles as a show stopper of your party.
• Kid’s Friendly Menu: Normally parents want lavish menu and because of that they ignore kid’s favorites. Yes of course you can make royal food but don’t forget to make that royal meal interesting and kid’s friendly too. After all from party we don’t want our kid to go back to home with empty stomach.

• Engage With Activity: For younger kids bubbles balloons and music are enough. You can add some more spice with jumping net. For kids above 4 years kids games are fun. Magician, puppet show, tattoo, mehandi and many more can be good attraction.  If you don’t want to do all these then just play the music and let them rock the dance floor.
• Personalized Return Gift: Return gift is not must but if you want to spend on that give it a personal touch to make it memorable. Hand maid return gifts are also very popular. In fact if your kid is elder than 3 years s/he too will enjoy birthday bash by helping you in return gifts.

We wish our party ideas will add flavors to your birthday bash.

Friends are like flowers, they come to our life to add fragrance and flavors. We laugh with friends, we cry with friends, we argue with them and we agree with them. Sometimes we fight too but all the wars are just a game of mind as our hearts are always connected. My life is full of friends who encourage me, inspire me,pamper me,tease me, support me a lot in my bad time and treasure me the way I am and so I am writing this article for all those lovely friends who became a part of my life.

I would like to dedicate this article to all my female friends as now I understand how much important they are for me.

I was a kind of girl who was more comfortable talking to boys than girls and even I am but I learned few things from my life and my lovely doctor which changed my view of friendship. There was an incident when I was sick because of stressful life and my doctor asked me “do you talk to your friends?” and when I replied “yes sometimes.” she said “See this is important. When we are teenager we need friends to hang out and have fun but once we grow up we need friends to share, to get support and to get strength. May I know names of your friends?” and when I listed them she said “It seems you have more Mars than Venus in your life but I am happy that still you have couple of female friends.” she added “you might feel odd but the truth is female friends are more supportive than mars. you may feel your wavelength doesn’t match with females, you may not appreciate the TV shows, you may not like those gossips but you still have couple of females in your life that means there are females who too are like you. so don’t think much and talk to your female friends as often as you can.”

She explained me really well with logic and here is the reasoning she gave me for “Why shall we have female friends in our life?”

Good listener: Yes unbelievable but this is truth. Women are better listener than men. They listen as well as they remember it too and they have tender heart like you so if you will find a good female friend, she will really raise you up in your cloudy days.

Understanding: As we say “if you want to know me live my life” and women shares similar life so they can understand your things in better way as well as can give you hope from their experience especially when you have kids or family topics to talk and discuss.

Stress reliever: When you feel “you are not alone” its easy to accept and cope up with the things which once you felt really hard. Just discuss your problem with your female friend and she will reduce all your stress in just one talk as at the end what do you need other than a person who can listen to you, understand you and accept you the way you are.

Life long friend: Mars have different goals and different life style than Venus and so there may be time when they can’t available for you even if they want  But Venus will be always there for you.

After this conversion when I really implemented her thoughts, I felt my stress level really reduces when I talk to my female friends as I can share any thing and every thing with them as well as its easy to get answer of my problems from their experience. Now I truly feel this is true, doesn’t matter how much good mars are  but the Venus can console you a way more.

 Thank you all the sweets of my life.

Happy Friendship Day….Love you lovely ladies

Well after my last blog celebration-of-love-valentine-special one of my reader said “its good but seems really simple what if I want some extraordinary date?”  And my answer is yes of course that  is simple but sober way quite old one but that always enough to touch some ones heart but if you want an elegant evening here are some tips to impress your love ones  :

1. 1. Search for very good sophisticated restaurant which serves candle light dinner in your city.

   3. On valentine day send a heart shape bouquet made of roses and orchid to your love one with a small note of venue and time.
   4.  Go to the restaurant before 10 min.

Valentine day is a day of love, a day to spread love by little gesture and show your love ones how important they are. Yes of course we can do this any time and any day but in our so called busy life we always count on money prestige power position growth and always forget to count on the people whom we love or many times we just don’t know how to express our feelings in effective way. If you are one of them who forget to express your love or just confuse about the way to express your affection here we are to foster your feelings and make your life lively:

1. Spend Quality Time :

The most important thing in any relationship is Time. Time always build strength in relationship. Plan a day for you and your partner without any disturbance. Switch off your phones no internet no laptops no news channels. It’s much more important that how you spend time with your partner than how much time you spend with her/him.

2. Give a Spark of Emotions :

Spending money and getting something from mall or shop is the last thing you should do rather you should give it your personal touch. Make your own card and write some poem or song in that. If you think this is just out of your creativity then just take a paper n couple of color pens, write what do u feel for him/her in your words or something that reminds your first date or what do u like in your partner and if you are thinking of getting married you can propose him/her by reminding how first time you fall for him/her. Remember winners don’t do different but differently.

3. Nothing can be sweeter than  sweets :

Sweets always show right emotions in a right way. Make some heart shape cookies , sweets or chocolates and decorate it by your own  serve it on a table of love with light smell of perfume and romantic music with a flower, bouquet are good but I would say go for a single rose it will express more emotions than the bunch of flowers .

4. Add flavor in your life :

Going out is okay but better you Cook something together and trust me that’s the best time you can spend together. If cooking is not your cup of tea you can order it from outside as restaurants will be really crowded on this day.  Dress up in your favorites decorate your balcony/terrace and set the table with candles if possible.  Find good romantic movie so you can enjoy it after meal.

5. Create your own romantic way :

If you are single then also you can enjoy the day by your own.  Get some good romantic novel or movie  cook something special for you do the things you want to do since long time but couldn’t because clash royale gems generator of routine life listen your favorite music or celebrate with your friends. After all who else can loves you more than you?

Women can express their feelings better than men so this valentine don’t wait for your boyfriend or hubby to do something instead lift your evening and amaze them with celebration of love.

Celebration means enjoying the moment and memorizing the things. If we are ready to celebrate our first anniversary or valentine day or new year eve then why not a first year of parenting. It’s all about memorizing good things done in the whole year. Here are some reasons why you should celebrate the first birthday of the baby:

1. Relax n Reward yourself:

Celebration is for you not for your Baby.  Celebrate the day for you as you have successfully completed a year of a parenting and you know how tough it is. You must had changed your routine for  your little one you must have cut off your work load which you enjoyed a lot even you had cut off your social relationship up to certain level  So this is the right time for you to take a little break and think about yourself.  Get relax and be proud how gracefully you have handled all the changes.

2.      Achieved milestone:

One year!!!!!! You must have feeling like “it’s been one year!”  Or “I can’t believe it!” Or “sometimes time just flies” and yes with kids time really flies.  But did you notice how much you have learned in this one year? How much your kid learned in this one year? Your kid taught you how to have patience, how to enjoy small things, love is more than enough and many more. your kid learned to cry eat sit crawl stand and may be ready to walk or already started walking, he/she is able to understand your small instruction and started feeling you and your love and many more things……..don’t you think this is the perfect thing to celebrate and say “what a good achievement” to you and your kid.

3. Create memories:

If you think your baby won’t remember anything then yes you are perfectly right and that’s why it’s good to click some pictures and shoot videos to create memories. You can show that to your little one when he/she will be toddler and trust me they will really enjoy it a lot and feel very special.

4. Having a field trip:

May be your kid will forget everything but trust me he/she will definitely learn one thing and that is birthday means cake candles balloons and fun  And what can be the better way to teach the things other than the actual field trip.

5.  Time to introduce your baby to the world:

If your baby is premature or gone through medical surgery when born you might needed to take care of him/her a little more for the first year and in this case  you might not got a chance to introduce your baby to the world in proper way. One year is enough time to settle down so if you twodigits game haven’t introduce your baby till the day this is the perfect time to introduce your baby to the world.

It’s okay if you don’t want to have a big party or so many people for celebration but at least you can enjoy the day the way you want.  Infect it’s good to invite known people (family members and some friends) in your party rather than having a grand celebration.  In this way kid will able to know that the family doesn’t end with 3 or 4 people. This really helps him to get idea about social life especially if yours is a nuclear family.
