Valentines Day 2017

Image
We are a happily married couple since 2002 and are proud parents of 4 boys. We are constantly busy with our work, household chores, looking after the needs of our kids and bringing them up well, that we don't focus much on celebrating Valentines day. But ofcourse, we do wish and kiss each other the morning of Valentines day. But last year, Valentines day turned out to be extra special. My husband along with our 4 boys really surprised me by baking some yummy heart shaped cookies while I was still in bed. I thought i was having a dream when I saw them all sitting near my bed with a tray of cookies in hand and together they all shouted "Happy Valentine's day...we love you very much". How they managed to make such delicious cookies is still a mystery to me but yes they did bake them because I found my precious kitchen in a real mess...ha ha. That Valentines day was definitely the best day for me because I got to be the Valentine of not just my husband but of m...

Christmas in our family

Image
  To me Christmas means Celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. It brings a message of peace, love and hope. Christmas is a time for moments filled with the season of wonder and joy. The decorating of the tree, writing letters to Santa, baking Christmas cookies and pies. It is also a time for families to gather and create new memories to hold dear to their hearts.   I specially love Christmas because I really enjoy following the traditions of our ancestors. Preparing goan sweets like neurios, kulkuls, fruit cake, ete. We also love attending midnight mass and then staying back in church to sing Christmas Carols with church friends. We then return home and enjoy a hot cup of Cocoa and Fruit Cake. The next morning is spent opening Christmas gifts and then preparing a feast for family and friends to enjoy. There is always lot to do during Christmas as a family but we never forget to visit the old age home and spend our time with the...

Simply Mom Me (Simplymomie)

Simply Mom Me. I am a stay at home mom of 4 boys aged 9, 6, 4 and a baby of  12 months. The little baby is on breastfeed and also takes solids. I will continue to breastfeed him till he is 2years. (As a matter of fact I have breastfed my other 3 boys till they were 2 years as well.) I love to cook for my big family everyday and try out new dishes that my hubby and kids would love to eat. I take that as a challenge and I over come it. The praises I get after that will be too long to pen down. I bake cakes, cookies, pizza's and bread etc. almost every two days and that's also my hobby and a favorite past time. Since, I cannot afford a maid with just my husbands salary I have to do all the household chores by myself from cleaning and sweeping to washing and drying. Then I volunteer to help at my kids school for 3 hours and I also volunteer at the church on weekends. I help my kids with their homework and studies as well as make time to take them to the pl...

My Lovely Family

I am Aruna Mascarenhas aged 35 years and married to Terry Mascarenhas for the past 12 years. We have 4 lovely boys aged 9,6,3 and 6months old baby. Their names are Amish, Tanish, Nimish and Yohaan. I love my family a lot and they mean the world to me. I love to cook and bake their favorite dishes and the compliments I receive from them are just too many to pen down. To me Family is a very special word since I am blessed with a very lovely family. It is one of the many gifts I have received from God! I as a Wife to my hubby and a Mother to my kids make it point to see that my family eats together, prays together, c are about each other and stays together no matter what. We do all sorts of things together like going on picnics, family outings and most of all we share our joys and our sorrows with each other.  We as parents give our 4 children the most important thing and that sense of being loved and treat them respectfully. We avoid comparing our children to others...
