Play is one of the major ways in which children could learn,
develop & grow. Play helps to nurture their imagination and give them sense
of adventure & belonging. Through this, they can understand fundamental
& essential skills such as problem solving, team work, collaboration,
sharing and much more. In return, these toys help them increase their
concentration and retention power.

“Investing diligently in
early childhood nutrition, is for sure, a foolproof strategy. The returns are
incredibly high”
This is extremely important and
more than often overlooked. Nutritive feed & healthy eating habits in the
formative years of everyone’s life is important due to its role in lowering
morbidity and mortality, reducing the risks of chronic disease throughout their
entire life span, and encouraging regular mental and physical development.
During childhood, insufficient nutrition causes children to have less energy
and less interest in learning, which negatively influences and adversely affect
their cognitive development and academic performances.
Malnutrition will also affect
physical growth and maturation, thus affecting growth rate, body weight and
ultimately, height.
As they say, “The best thing to
do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use if we keep only to
oneself.”
So, today I would like to
introduce to an “Exclusive Range of Branlacs & Raab premixes” from Little
Fingers.
An initiative of the mother, by
mother and for the mothers. Nira Shah, founder of little fingers for sure has
created these magical products using age old “Dadi ma ke nuskhe” with healthy
twists and are approved and recommended by pediatricians and gynecologists.”
A must try for all new moms, an

Little Fingers are all
children’s favorite. Their unique range of nutritious and delicious on the go,
ready to eat cookies, crackers, and pan cakes which I bet are very hard to
resist!
While I purchase for my
children, it’s hard for me also to stay away from these super delicious healthy
bites. I am so happy seeing my children munching on these healthy snacks, rich
is fibers, vitamins, and minerals. It keeps their tummy full and let their
mummy work. This is one thing I don’t feel guilty even if they eat in excess,
more so because of its rich ingredients such as oats/flax seeds which was
otherwise impossible for me to make them eat.
Strongly recommend to all health enthusiastic, doting
mothers, friends and colleagues to at least try it once, power pack of healthy
nutritious crackers and cookies with long shelf life from Little Fingers where
they strongly believe in albert Einstein philosophy - “Strive not to be a

“Children learn as they play. More importantly, in
play, children learn how to learn.” – O. Fred Donaldson
"What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language." —Miuccia Prada
We parents always want to give the best to our children.
Choose a perfect outfit for your little one can be a very time-consuming task. You as a parent will require extra patience and will have to pay extra attention while choosing kids’ dresses for your child. There are various factors that determine what we should be choosing for our kids.
Children will need to wear clothes which they are able to manage on their own. This will enable them to grow independently and assure that they can play unimpeded indoors and outside. Now, this becomes our responsibility as parents to buy kids wear which is comfortable, durable well as pocket friendly for us. However, the difficulty is how to choose the best one? Below are some of the key points which would help you determine the right choice for your beloved kid.
1)Choose “Comfortable & Skin Friendly Fabric”: Choose high-quality fabrics – you need to opt for soft and natural materials. Cotton is one of the best choices for newborn babies and remains the best option for toddlers and bigger kids too. Avoid fabrics that aren't breathable. Try to strike a balance between everyday clothing and clothes for special occasions. We should not be compromising on comfort for style. We should also ensure any fabric we are introducing to our kids does not react to their skin and cause any kind of allergy or irritation.
Believing in the same principle, committed to provide style with comfort and ease luxortrends has beautifully curated outfits for your child, amazingly designed, these skin-friendly, stylish kids wear and is surely a must-buy for the upcoming summer months!
2)Choose relevant “Style& Trend”:
"Fashions fade, style is eternal." —Yves Saint Laurent
We should experiment with our children’s wardrobe and provide them with different collection and combination of dynamic fashion, textures, fabric material, prints and patterns, and various color palettes suited for children. Obviously, it would differ based on the occasion we would want them to wear and predominantly, the season they would be wearing it.
Atluxortrendsyou name it and you would find casual yet stylish combinations with prints such as polka dots, stripes, a blend of unique color shades, and checks.Your kids would love to wear their classic shapes and patterns with fun details and shapes like polka dots, checks, geometrical shapes, etc.!
From cargo pants, tops, jackets, shirts, hoodies to retro theme wears, Culottes, they have it all.
And going an extra mile, to deliver you the best, Tad-a-Mamma-Sustainable-Kids-wear colorful and bright kidswear collection enhances the look and feel of your kid’s clothing when worn with some matching accessories such as perfect shoes, tie,bow, etc. for boys and matching hair pins, hair bands, clips, artificial jewelry, etc. for girls.
3)Choose “Practically”: You would be investing your hard earn money to buy good clothes for your kids. However, kids are after all kids and may not understand all the logistics behind it. Thus, to ensure our kids enjoy and wear clothes for at least some considerable time, we should have sustainable & durable quality clothes. Easy to wash (either by hand or washing machine) and used by children in all rough and tough ways, ensuring the clothes are not providing any hindrance or discomfort while they play, also do not wear and tear easily
4) Choose “A Good Fit, Sustainable“: Length, Weight& Size in Children's clothing is a very important feature; apparels should focus on are the changing shape of the growing kid and different proportions& ratios of the different parts of the body. Also, dresses should not be heavy for children to carry and move around.
5)Budget (Pocket) Friendly –Any apparel we choose, should fit into our budget. Introducing the best styles and comfort wear at extremely affordable prices & combos, Luxortrends aims at designing an elegant and comfortable range of kids' wear for your child. “Less is more”, is their design philosophy for the in-house brand Tad-a-Mamma. So, hurry up, visit their official Facebook page and keep yourself updated with the latest trends and styles.
A famous quote by Iris Apfel says, "Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There's no how-to road map to style. It's about self-expression and, above all, attitude."
“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what
we give.” ―Winston S. Churchill
Dear
readers – This write up is also very special to me and straight from heart. I
personally do not believe celebrating special days, rather I celebrate every
day of my life and try to make it special in my own ways. For me celebrating
occasions or gifting people is not any formality but an emotion. An emotion of
love, compassion, and care.
Why
should we gift?
“Since
you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of
thought into the happiness that you are able to give.” ―Eleanor Roosevelt
Any
gift I choose, has some thoughts behind it, you all must have read many
articles or blogs which would suggest what we can gift our friends, family, or
colleagues. However, I want to emphasize today on the rationale
behind gifting someone, something special. By giving people gifts,
you're not only making yourself out to be a generous person; but you're making
the recipient of your gift a grateful person. ... Even strangers are affected
when they receive generosity and warmth from others – it makes them feel happy,
loved, and valued. While the world is moving towards technology, we shall try
to choose gifts which are in our budget, economical and apart from mobiles, tablets,
and any expensive electronic gadgets.
What
to Choose?
"
It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving." — Mother
Teresa.
No
matter if the gift is small or big, A present given with happiness and with
your loving heart is always best. Of course, what you gift will be inspired by
the occasion and your relationship to whom you are gifting but the intention of
gifts is always to express love and to make someone feel special & rewarded.
Some
of the factors which would help you in choosing what to
gift are: -
Useful
and with a purpose: We need to understand difference between a need and
a desire, while we can always gift people according to their wish list, we
should always think how useful that gift could be or the purpose which they
would solve. For example, age appropriate gift boxes, books,
games, toys for children or good apparels, watches or cosmetics etc. for
grownups.
Environment
Friendly: Since, these days we all very particular about going for
local organic products, berrytree offers
variety of organic stylish apparels. Extremely skin-friendly, comfortable, and
appealing. Organic cotton is grown without harmful chemicals,
leaving the soil, air, and water free from contaminates that cause harm. So
obviously, organic cotton that uses a smaller amount of chemicals is better for
your skin and for your health. In fact, organic cotton is so safe, it's one of
the best materials for your skin.
Gifts
with personalized/customized messages:
A
thoughtful gift can have the same effect of a thousand beautifully crafted
words. It can show the person you’re giving a gift to that you treasure and
value the relationship that you both share – be it a romantic or platonic one.
In addition, customized
handmade craft gifts – such as wall hangings, photo books, framed
prints etc. are a great way to showcase the best moments in your relationship
and to foster a stronger emotional bond with your giftee. Recently, I gifted
these amazing wall hangings from Kaira
creations and my children were overjoyed looking at those and every
day feels happy to see their names beautifully carved.
Gift
of experience:
A
trip to the amusement or indoor trampoline park, an impromptu vacation or even
a simple picnic in a scenic meadow can make for an incredible gift. Not only
are you spending quality time with your loved ones, but you’re also helping
them to make memories that they will cherish for a lifetime. I recently
visited Let’s play indoor trampoline
park in Mumbai and was amazed with the focus on quality and safety.
Let’s Play provides a great combination of Fun and Fitness. For all ages, it
will be a rollicking day of thrills and adventure. Imagine having wings jumping
off the walls, flying and having fun with family and friends in a playground of
world-class trampolines! For sure you would feel as if you have some
superpowers and have become an Avenger yourself 😊
Last but not the least, leaving you all with some
thoughts to ponder upon, it’s not always about materialistic things, we can
always gift things in our capacity and do not wait for any occasions.
Give the Gift of Kindness, love, and compassion. Give the
gift of your full attention to others around you and allow them the importance
they deserve. Give the gift of your time, your compliments, your affection. Trust
me these are the most precious resources we possess and can share with
others.
Dear Readers, Thanks for your overwhelming love for my features and write ups. Today I present to you celebration of life, after one is gone physically. I believe in celebrating the fortune of having them in our lives and to learn from them in which ever way. This post is very special and close to my heart as this is my tribute to my beloved grandmother who left for heavnly abode a week ago.. giving learnings & blessings for a lifetime.
A famous poem by Sarah Harrison...
The years will always roll on by and time will always pass, but every memory I have of you will definitely always last.
I like to smile when I think of you. I try not to be sad. It's pretty easy to do with all the good times that we've had.
But sometimes I can't help it, and memories leak out of my eyes, and I quickly try to brush them away. I know you wouldn't want me to cry.
I don't know how it's possible, but I love you more now than I did then, and I really cannot wait until the day that I see you again.
Because, Dadi, I know I would take hold of you and never ever let you go. Every day that passes by I miss you more and more.
We also celebrated her life via virtual prayer meet and from her to peers to her great grand son from across the world paid her sincere tribute and contrubuted in the event.
