True love is 'Band-Aid and a Chocolate Smoothie'!

So with the baby finally asleep, I was taken up by my sweet-toothy desire when I realised I had some leftover 'mawa' from the Gajar-ka-halwa I made a few days ago. And bubbling with enthusiasm, I rushed the mawa onto the grating board and ouch!! The mawa broke into two and my thumb got grated instead! (OUCH!!!!)

I ran to the tap trying to wash away the blood, but the flow just wouldn't stop!!! And then entered my hero (As Zachy would probably say when he grows up: My Daddy's StrongEST!) :D He quickly helped me tie it up and then decided he would go get band-aid for me (even though it was 11:30 at night!)

When he got back, I found two choco-smoothies in his pocket :)
Hubby darling decided to quench my sweet-craving while he took care of my wound. What would I do without you Aby? You're my hero :D Love you! Zachy's gonna have a wonderful role model in you as he grows up :) Thanks for that!

Save your marriage

Here I am again, eager to share something new my husband and I started this past December. First of all, a very happy new year to all of you out there! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog posts :)

So here goes. You see, I recently heard about this custom the Catholics have called the "Advent Calendar". So a month or so before Christmas, they give small gifts to each person in the family every single day. I was so taken up by this custom, that I decided we should do something similar. We decided we would write a small note with a compliment to each other every day till 1st of Jan. Odd dates would be his turn (Odd stands for Adam) and even dates for me (Even stands for Eve)

I'm so glad my husband was faithful in doing this with me through the past month. It has been intensely uplifting and encouraging. We realized there's great value in saying something positive to each other and making each other feel special. It's particularly wonderful to write something positive to the other after a fight! Lol.

Its important to preserve love in your marriage, especially after you have a kid. Many parents forget to continue to bond with each other and end up living their lives around their children, and when their kids fly the nest, they are left staring at each others, feeling like strangers. Let that not be our story. Let's resolve this new year, that along with being wonderful parents, we will be even better partners to our spouse.
