I have been trying to figure out what to write a blog post about first since I’ve been missing for awhile, but I just can’t decide so I’ll just do a catch up post with a few photos! First of all the most exciting thing around here is that Svara is going to be a [...]

Trip to the Rabbit Park

A couple of months ago on a Sunday morning I told Naren that I needed to get OUT of the house and do something! Between the heat and the rain we hadn’t been out to do much lately. Of course because of the heat we didn’t want to go anywhere in the city, so we [...]

Svara’s favorite treat! The fact that she is allergic to dairy, and has to have only minimal sugar luckily do not keep Svara away from icecream! Here is our super easy icecream recipe that Svara has been eating since she was less than a year old: Banana Icecream *3-6 very ripe bananas, frozen *200ml [...]

Art projects are still one of Svara’s favorite activities, here is one we did recently after reading The Hungry Caterpillar: Take a piece of paper, fold it in half, and paint on it. I usually use homemade flour based paint, but it doesn’t age well and I wanted to keep these, so I added food [...]

Last month I sold my paper quilling crafts (mostly jewelry) in my first craft market! It was a busy two weeks preparing stock for the sale. Naren and Svara were there for a couple hours helping me get set up, etc. Then they left and picked me up when the day was over. No way [...]

Oh my goodness, has it really been 2 months since I’ve written a post?? I have been so busy with my quilling in the past two months that I have lost focus on some other things, trying to find that balance. Here are a few photos from when we visited the park last month: [...]
Time to Get Messy

Svara loves doing art projects. She also loves playing with her small toy dinosaurs and other animals, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to recycle some materials around the house, do a fun art project, and make a playset for her plastic dinosaurs. I started by using some toilet paper tubes to create a [...]

Wow, it’s been almost three months since I’ve updated this blog! It seems as though the longer I go without updating, the easier it is to postpone. I’ll put a real update soon. But in the meantime, here’s a recent photo of Svara having fun doing an art project with her cousin, Iyshanie. Svara adores [...]

Svara, AKA “Baby’s Mama” loves her baby dolls. If we leave the house she HAS to bring one of them along. When she’s in the house there is always one nearby, if not in her arms. Here she is cuddling “small baby” in her little Moby Wrap: “Baby’s Mama” is also keeping busy cooking food [...]
Parental Evolution
Posted in family, parenting, Svara on April 20, 2010 | 2 Comments »
One of the hardest things about parenting is that when you are a parent you constantly have to change your parenting to suit your child’s growing needs. And it’s not always apparent that the needs have changed until things start getting out of hand! When an infant cries it’s because they have a need. They [...]
