Yayyy!! Can't contain my excitement over the completion (is it? hmm) of the design for my blog!  Yes, my blog has just had a total makeover!  True to the title of my blog and of course to my neurotic nature, the design is fittingly psychedelic.  A bit dizzying, I suppose, but I LOVE it!!!!

Sorry, I don't mean to brag here.  Just being an overexcited mommy blogger, that's all!  Please, please, pleeeease visit me at my blog and tell me what you think, k?  I'd be supremely…

At the beginning of the school year, I was among the privileged few, allowed to walk into the classroom.

In the mornings, when I walked my son to school, we'd see parents dropping off their kids from their cars. But my son wasn't interested in that. He wanted me to park, to walk with him into the school, into the classroom. We held hands. He waved a sleepy goodbye.

By the beginning of the second semester, things had changed a bit. I still parked, but I had been relegated to the…

 Looks like we have really made up for our previous failures at Meatless Monday.  We have been enjoying Indian food recipes and have been having meatless suppers almost everyday of the week so far.  Here is the recipes for the Palak paneer, Chana masala …Read More

The (not so) Special Mother

That's a good question.

Some days, I don't even recognize myself. I had a lot of big ideas when I was a younger person.  I was opinionated, very uncompromising, and I basically just thought I had everything figured out. These days, I can't even relate to that person. When you are a wife and a mom, compromise becomes your middle name. The sad part is, a lot of times…

On the way home from work tonight, Z and I were listening to the radio. I wasn't really paying attention to the commercials when suddenly I hear a little voice from the back seat

I find it a little funny that "topic-wise" I don't come across too much in the way of Daddy & Hubby.  Today I thought I would throw in a little something to discuss just that.   After all I would not have become a mommy without hubby!  I am really happy that our son has such a good man in his life.  Maybe through his daddy's good deeds he will learn to be…

If you were to ask anyone that knows me personally, they would tell you that I was an “old soul.” One of those people who are wise beyond their years and whatnot. Despite the fact that I’ve not even hit the mid-twenties mark of life, I’ve always been a little more…mature, than a lot of people my age. Maybe it was upbringing and the circumstances that surrounded my life and my childhood. Maybe it’s because I just never…

Fat is not a bad word...

Sometimes I get mad.  It usually happens when I am over-whelmed, over-stretched, over-needed and over-spent.  The perfect storm of mothering overload!  When all those things happen at once, my little brain says, "All done" and I find myself with my jaw clenched, my eyes closed and my mouth fighting all the garbly-gook that wants to come pouring out.  Sound familiar?  Well, this happened recently ...
