Welcome to my blog! This is where I write my thoughts on various issues such as homeschooling, meditation, books I have enjoyed, being a home-maker and so on. If you are interested in a particular topic, then check the section under categories. I hope you will find something here that might interest you. So, sit back and read along.
Last year, my mother-in-law started taking lessons from Denise Backstrom, a master quilter. Here are the photos of her work. We can’t wait to see her work this year when she comes back in August and starts quilting again. It was a sheer joy to see her passion and talent for quilting.

This post was long overdue. This week, we almost lost all our photos and that was my wake-up call. I better frame few precious memories in my blog. I can see myself and Amit, sitting as old parents, browsing this blog and basking in the warm memories when our boys will be grown-ups. So, now I am trying to update my blog as much as possible.
Last year, one of my friends joined us with her little angelic daughter for art and craft. This made the sessions all the more interesting and fun.

Our little Lego Club met yesterday. Our quest was to work in teams (collaboration) to create a cityscape (real city or imaginary). We had 6 kids (including my 3 year old). So, we divided them in 2 teams. One team created New York City and the the other team created Michigan. I was very impressed with both teams’ creations and was overjoyed to see them discussing and working it out together. Then, each team did show-and-tell. We celebrated with lamingtons and watermelons.

Michigan. Created by: Jackson, Megha and Vikram

This week, Kabir bought grocery for dinner for 6 people as his grandparents are here too. He spent $24.29. So, this time he had to tap into his previous savings. We started this once-a-month project in December. So, each month, he had spent less than $20 and so he had managed to save $9.71 over 5 months. Now, he has only $5.42 left. He served the following for dinner: baked potato (he is not a big fan of baked potatoes but since he made it he devoured it), asparagus, shrimps with cocktail sauce and grapes. He worked with his grandmother to prepare the meal. All of us really enjoyed the meal except Arjun as he doesn’t like baked potato at all. I’ll wait for the day when Arjun makes baked potato. I bet he will love it that day.
$20 Grocery – May
