Activities that can be done at home with kids
It has been about a month that we began sheltering in place because of Covid-19. Since then a lot has changed. A lot of adjustments had to be made to our daily routines, since offices and schools are now closed. It was difficult for all of us, but mostly for the kids, who don’t fully fathom what exactly is happening. Here is a list of activities that we are doing to keep ourselves entertained and busy! Baking : Recently Double Tree Hotel released their Chocolate Chip Cookie R

If you can’t Recycle, Up-cycle it!
Today after school , me & my son went to check our mailbox & then proceeded towards the recyclable bins to drop our recycling stash. And it was full to the brim! He exclaimed wow it is super full, now what do we do? I said let’s wait till tomorrow and come back? We headed back home & I enquired what he learnt in school? He replied, they didn’t do much today… so I suggested how about we dig through our recycles & see if we can make a project. His face lighted up, you mean we d

Pinewood Derby
My son is fascinated with cars. We travel a lot and he sits in his car seat & looks at the cars passing by. Most of our conversations are about what make, model & color of car is next to him. I have always loved looking at fast cars too, so I kinda know where he gets it from. Although I stopped updating myself with the makes and models, because life got busy; I have started keeping up again for him. Because while driving I have to answer to the little quizzes he throws at me.

Food, science & love
I have always loved to eat, but I never cooked. The cooking part started after I got married. I remember my mom always loved to cook & feed me. We rarely ate food from outside. I always wondered why was it so important to her to feed everyone? I understood that part after I had a household of my own. Food is how we represent our love. It is a cultural thing for us. We socialize over food, we cook for those who we love! In college I had a group of friends. Looking back, I some

Seasons & Colors
Yesterday was a busy day for me. Had a bunch of things to finish. Even when my son came back from school I wasn’t done. My husband was not back from work, my son’s dinner was not ready, oh what a mess! I asked my son, would you like to watch some TV while I finish making your dinner? And he said no, can we do some activity instead? What? did I hear that right? Yes, I did. Okay, even today morning I am feeling super happy about that statement! I could not think of what activit

Rainbow Toothpaste Volcano
Today’s post is a continuation of the “No” topics of my son. The first thing in the morning he says no to is brushing his teeth. Yes, I know how yucky! It is a struggle every morning to get him to brush his teeth. We tried a number of work arounds, different toothpastes, favorite character toothbrushes, lollipops( yes you read that right!), nothing works :(. So tonight before sleeping, I decided to skip the book reading and do some fun stuff with him ( by fun stuff I mean sci

Super Hero Wand Magnets
With halloween slowly approaching closer, I was thinking about what character to dress up as this time. I have always loved celebrating Halloween & now it is even more special as my son’s birthday is on Halloween! He knows he wants to dress up as “Cat Boy” from PJ masks, however I am still unsure. So today’s hands on activity is a bit about halloween and a bit about magnets. I have a huge collection of Fridge magnets. Whichever city I visit, I make sure to bring back a Magnet

Learning about halves & whole
Yesterday I was at a loss about what to make for dinner. Also I wanted it to be something that my little one would not be able to say no to. Remember we already had a “NO” day yesterday. Can’t do it two days in a row! So Pizza came to my rescue. No, don’t make that face, I didn’t order it from outside. You know I am all about making things from scratch. Thankfully we had all the ingredients in our pantry. I mixed the flour, sugar, salt & yeast and waited for the dough to rise
