15 Years, a Lifetime of Memories ❤️✨

Posted on June 25, 2026 | 1 comment

Yesterday we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary, and my heart feels so full reflecting on how far we’ve come.

I still remember starting this blog around the same time we got married and sharing our wedding journey. Back then, I never imagined how many people would connect with our story, show interest in Nepali and Newari culture and traditions, and follow along through different chapters of our life. It has been such a beautiful journey to share those moments and memories.

And now… here we are, 15 years later.

Fifteen years of growing together, learning together, supporting each other and creating a life that feels bigger and more beautiful than I ever imagined. Looking back, I truly feel so blessed that I found my person ,the one who makes ordinary days feel special and who stands beside me through every season of life.

To my husband : thank you for your love, patience, encouragement and for being my safe place. Thank you for all the laughs, the late-night chats, the adventures, the teamwork and for showing up every single day for our family. Through every challenge and every joyful moment, you have been my greatest blessing.

These 15 years have given us so much : a home filled with love, endless memories and most importantly, our two beautiful kids who make life louder, messier, funnier and infinitely more meaningful. From family trips, pool days, birthday celebrations, silly dances in the kitchen, school runs, cuddles, endless questions and all the little everyday moments , these are the memories I treasure most. Watching our kids grow while growing together as a couple has been the greatest adventure of all.

Marriage isn’t just about the big milestones ,it’s built in the small moments, choosing each other again and again, laughing through the chaos and finding joy in everyday life.

After 15 years, I can honestly say I still feel incredibly lucky to walk through life with you by my side. I love you more than words can ever express, and I cannot wait for many more years of happiness, adventures, traditions, family moments and memories still to come. ❤️

Here’s to 15 years down and forever to go 🥂✨

A Blessed Nepali Mother’s Day with Family & Tradition

Posted on April 20, 2026 | Leave a comment

This Nepali Mother’s Day feels extra special and close to my heart. Having my parents here with me is such a blessing, and being able to celebrate this beautiful day together after 3 years makes it even more meaningful. Moments like these remind me how precious family truly is.

Nepali Mother’s Day, also known as Aama ko Mukh Herne Din, is a day dedicated to honouring and showing love and gratitude to our mothers. It’s a tradition where we express appreciation through small gestures, blessings, and time spent together—something so simple yet deeply meaningful.

This year, we celebrated in traditional Newari style, which made it even more special. In Newari culture, celebrations are rich with rituals and symbolism. We prepared and shared Sagun—a ceremonial platter that usually includes items like boiled egg, meat, fish, ginger, garlic and aila (traditional drink). Each element in Sagun represents good luck, health, and prosperity. Along with that, we offered tika—a sacred mark placed on the forehead as a blessing for protection and well-being.

We also baked cakes at home, adding our own little modern twist to the tradition. Celebrating with my brother and cousins made the day even more joyful. There was laughter, love and that warm feeling of being surrounded by family again after so long.

It’s hard to put into words how special it feels to come together like this—to celebrate our culture, our traditions and most importantly, our mothers. A day filled with gratitude, love and togetherness that I will always cherish ❤️

Holi celebration in Sydney

Posted on March 13, 2026 | Leave a comment

We just wrapped up a gorgeous Holi celebration here in Sydney, and my heart’s still full. For anyone who’s not familiar, Holi is a festival of colour that marks the arrival of spring. Back in Nepal, it’s one of the happiest days of the year -everyone’s out on the streets with family, neighbours and friends, throwing colours, sharing food, laughing and just enjoying the moment together.

This year, we tried to bring a little slice of that spirit to Sydney. We headed down to the local park with our mates and neighbours, and before long everyone was covered head-to-toe in colour. Kids were running around, adults pretending not to be competitive with colour throwing… the whole vibe felt like home. It reminded me how simple joy can be when you share it.

And of course – the food. We made chatpate, which is such a classic Nepali street snack and honestly perfect for quick get-togethers. If you haven’t tried it, chatpate is a crunchy, tangy, spicy mix made with puffed rice. It’s got this punchy flavour that hits all the right notes, and the best part is how quick it is to make.

Here’s the fast version of how we made it:

Quick & Easy Chatpate

  • Puffed rice
  • Finely chopped onion, tomato and cucumber
  • Coriander
  • A squeeze of lemon
  • Chilli (as much or as little as you like)
  • A bit of mustard oil for that proper Nepali kick
  • Salt to taste

Mix it all together just before serving so it stays crunchy — and that’s it. Fresh, zesty and perfect for days like this.

Celebrating Holi away from Nepal can feel different, but sharing colours, food and laughs with the people around us makes it special in its own way. Still buzzing from all the fun and all the colour. 💛💜💚

Already looking forward to next year! 🌸✨

Happy birthday AS 🥳🎉🎂

Posted on January 13, 2026 | Leave a comment

December has always been special to me — not just because of Christmas or school holidays — but because it’s the month my favourite person was born. Yes, AS birthday falls in December, and that alone makes this month extra meaningful.

This man deserves to be celebrated every single day. He is an incredible husband, a loving and hands-on father, and truly my rock. He supports us, protects us and loves our little family with his whole heart. Watching him with our two kids fills me with so much pride — he’s patient, caring, fun, and always there for them. They are so lucky to have him, and honestly, so am I.

We kicked off his birthday with a morning surprise — bells ringing, decorations everywhere, a beautiful cake, and thoughtful gifts to make him feel as special as he truly is. The smiles said it all. Later, we went out for brunch at a lovely café and spent quality time together. He enjoyed a big breakfast, I had avocado, eggs and toast, and the kids happily devoured their pancakes. Simple moments, lots of laughs, and so much love.

It was such a beautiful day celebrating a man who gives so much to us every day. Happy Birthday to my favourite human — thank you for being you, for being ours, and for making December my favourite month of all 🤍

Halloween fun 🎃👻

Posted on November 1, 2025 | Leave a comment

It’s amazing how big Halloween has become here in Australia lately — and I’m absolutely loving it! This year was extra special because the kids had a Halloween disco at school, so they were dressed up from the morning. My daughter went as a cute little Minion, my son was a scary skeleton, and I joined in the fun with a red dress for my devil look 😈.

We’ve been having the best time walking around the neighbourhood, collecting chocolates, and soaking up all the spooky vibes.

It’s such a joy to see the kids’ excitement, the laughter, and all the creative costumes around. Honestly, I think I’m enjoying it as much as they are (maybe even more 😄).
