Off to bed

Its REALLY cold here...I am talking about 3 degrees Celsius accompanied by REALLY chilly wind. And let me remind you that we don't have central heating here in India, like they do in the west. So its the good old convector which with a to-be-soon 2 year old is not a thing that you can switch on and forget. She will NOT stay in one room and wants to study how the convector works by touching it when its on! 

The good thing about this weather however has been that all schools are going to be shut till the 16th which means I have some more time to prepare myself before she joins playschool (yes, you read it right prepare myself not her). Or may be I can join playschool too and be with her till college? Ya, I think I will do that :) 

Now if you will please excuse me I will go back to my PILLOW for its cold & I need to sob because my little girl needs to go to playschool. 

How do you like your pillows arranged? I came across this here and well it seems how you toss your pillows says a lot about you. Pick yours please...

"1. If Your Pillows Are Asymmetrical

Are your pillows tossed about in any which way? Do you arrange your pillows without a particular order? Your unfussy style says that you are a relaxed, bohemian type who's easygoing and open to new experiences.

2.If Your Pillows Are Balanced, but Have a Single Accent

Do you prop pillows the classical way, but throw the symmetry off with one extra bolster? Do you prefer when something doesn't look too perfect? If so, your style is traditional with a twist. You're never too prim and proper — but you aren't given to the latest trends either

3.If Your Pillows Are Precisely Stacked

Are your pillows tiered, trim, and level? Does clutter on the nightstands (or anywhere) drive you crazy? This systematic, monastic tower of pillows indicates you have a modernist style. If someone saw your bed, they would probably guess that you're artistic, creative, and intellectua

4.If Your Pillows Are Delicate and Decorative

Are your pillows an exuberant array of Euro-square, cases, shams, boudoirs, and neck rolls? Do designs without embellishment feel cold and unwelcoming to you? If you're drawn to a dreamy, whimsical look, then you're a romantic. You prefer frilly and feminine to streamlined and rigid and are a firm believer that more is more.

5.If Your Pillows Are Perfectly Symmetrical

Do you consider yourself organized? Keeping all your ducks in a row — and your pillows too — means you have a tailored, classic style. This look is best for someone who is detail-orientated, organized, and orderly."

Off to bed all of you.

NO!

A Big thanks to everyone for all those heartfelt wishes. Mom is much better now and though it will take a while before she is fit & fine I think the worst is over. Your prayers & wishes were so-so special and meant so much to me. You have no idea! Thanks!

And Since we started the week with a post on my Mom, I thought I will share this picture I've had with me for a long time and we can all remember those lovely old days when the answer was mostly NO &  laugh! Must show this to my mom, smiles guaranteed :)

And now we are a happy family!

No,there isn't any issue with your eyes. Yes,that teacup is holding ice-cream instead of tea. Come on,what can you expect from someone who is getting roasted at 44 degrees everyday. And no sign of rain.

Yes,you guessed it right. We are completely dependent on ice-cream. But what good is that ice-cream which is not served pretty.

Aww...drool drool. Love the ceramic cup and that sweet touch of a strawberry & a cookie to go with.

What wouldn't I do to lay my hands on this potent chocolate & strawberry ice-cream dessert. The rafia makes its so special. And don't miss that divine peachy pistachio scoops & ahh..cubes. The lovely blue cups, the wooden spoons all tied up look so cute with the white & pale green of the icecream. Art!

Show me a child who doesn't love ice cream. My one year old can finish off this pink-licious ice-cream sandwich in minutes.  "Poon-poon" she tells me when we take out a tub of ice-cream (yes we don't talk below tubs in our home). Not to be left out she gets her own "poon" to dig in. I love topping it up with chocolate chips & silver balls and she licks it all clean!

Do I need to add that all this ice-cream makes us a very very happy family!

Mommy !!! I want this for lunch

I want to know if this isn't art then what is?

These super super super cute sandwiches have been created by the team of FunkyLunch.

“Funky Lunch was born out of the desire to turn an ordinary lunchtime sandwich into something a bit different to encourage children to try and eat a varied and healthy lunch.” And they are also going to be coming out with a book carrying tons and tons of creative ideas to show us how to create these little treasures.

I am not sure if I would be able to eat this piece of art, I would want to open my lunchbox again and again to take a peek !! Imagine a tea party with these, who said these are only for kids, huh!!

I am Blue!!

Came across this numerology key to your color personality on housebeautiful. Some numerologists believe that there is a relationship between numbers, color, and the alphabet on the theories of Pythagoras, no less. Here's how it works: Take each letter in your name and find its corresponding number in the guide at right. Add all the numbers, then reduce the total to a single digit. Try it out for fun.

NUMEROLOGY KEY TO YOUR COLOR PERSONALITY

1. Red: The most dominant personality. A visionary and risk-taker: energetic, passionate, tenacious, flamboyant, and courageous.

2. Orange: Balanced both mentally and physically. Happy, loyal, takes each day as it comes.

3. Yellow: Cheerful, charming, magnetic, intelligent, confident, and creative. Somewhat psychic, and enigmatic. A good leader and negotiator.

4. Green: The perfect balance between the physical and mental. Grounded, logical, not easily influenced, rarely judgmental. An intensely loyal friend — and has lots of them.

5. Blue: Optimistic, empathetic, flexible, idealistic, tranquil, patient, devoted. A natural mother.

6. Indigo: A brilliant old soul who is intuitive, sensitive, impulsive, curious, and ambitious, with a great lust for life.

7. Violet: Also an old soul. Intense, cerebral, wise, loving, generous, sentimental, and artistic.

8. Rose: Main qualities are strength, love, and leadership. Turns visions into realities.

9. Gold: Radiates love, joy, compassion, and understanding.
