Our chhora has been learning to read lately and loves reading everything he sees! The other day while grocery shopping, he spotted a pack of long-life milk and proudly shouted, āMum, look! Itās FREE! It says here!ā š„¹š¤£
Of course, it was lactose free, but ālactoseā was a bit too tricky for him ā so he just focused on the best part: FREE! š
Kids really do make the simplest things so joyful. My heart (and my shopping cart) was full that day. š
Just got back from the most amazing girlsā trip to Cairns, and wowāI didnāt realise how much I needed that break until I was in it.
We booked a lovely hotel right near the water, the kind where you wake up to palm trees and sunshine pouring through the curtains. We planned a few excursionsā just enough to feel like we were doing something special. Think reef tours, beach strolls, cocktails by the pool… the good stuff.
Coming from soggy, cold Sydney, stepping into Cairnsā warm tropical weather felt like heaven. No jumpers, no rain, just that beautiful Far North Queensland sunshine that instantly lifts your mood. We were living in our swimmers and sundresses, and honestly, I didnāt miss the layers one bit.
But the best part? The company. Thereās something so special about being with your girlsāno pressure, no roles to play, just open chats and loads of laughs. We talked about everything and nothing, stayed up too late, danced like no one was watching, and just enjoyed being ourselves. It’s amazing how much lighter you feel when you’re surrounded by people who really get you.
And thatās why Iāll never stop saying how important these little escapes are. Life is busy, and as mums, partners, workersāweāre always doing something for someone else. But thereās real magic in stepping away for a bit and just being you.
If you’ve been thinking about planning a girlsā tripādo it. Donāt overthink it. You donāt need a massive budget or a long itinerary. Just pick a place, gather your favourite people, and go. The laughs, the chats, the memoriesāitās all so worth it.
To my beautiful girls, thank you for being exactly what I needed. My heart feels full, my spirit feels light, and I already canāt wait for the next one. šš“š¹
If you havenāt followed me on TikTok yet, youāre seriously missing out ā and I mean that in the nicest way possible. My TikTok account is where I share a little bit of everything, and by everything, I mean the good, the hilarious, and the slightly chaotic.
Are you into fitness? Great! Youāll find my workout routines, from sweaty sessions thatāll make you feel the burn to the occasional “Oops, I tripped over my yoga mat” moments. I keep it real.
Craving some fun day-in-the-life content? Well, welcome to the ride! Whether itās me juggling a million things before breakfast or just trying to find my phone while itās in my hand, itās all there ā unfiltered and relatable.
But wait, thereās more! If you love dancing or just want to see me trying to keep up with the latest trending dances (sometimes nailing them, sometimesā¦ not so much), youāll get plenty of that too. And yes, I do love a good dance challenge ā even if it means my kids hide in the next room pretending not to know me.
Oh, and did I mention the recipes? I love sharing my favourite recipes ā from mouthwatering traditional Nepali dishes that bring a taste of home to healthy, guilt-free options that make eating well so much easier. Whether youāre a foodie or just looking for dinner ideas, Iāve got you covered.
And finally, I sprinkle in some good old-fashioned fun ā jokes, light-hearted skits, and all those random thoughts that just canāt be left unshared.
So, what are you waiting for? Follow me on TikTok for a mix of laughs, life, and a bit of āwhat did she just do?!ā moments. You wonāt regret it ā but even if you do, I promise to keep you entertained while you question your choices. š
But the surprises didnāt end there. My little ones eagerly handed me the gifts they had made and chosen with so much love. Gorgeous handwritten cards, a beautifully designed pen and notepad ā treasures from school that I would forever cherish. And from my husband, a pair of soft, cosy UGGs and a stylish wallet ā practical and thoughtful, just like him.
As I sipped my warm coffee and enjoyed the lovingly prepared breakfast in bed, I felt a deep sense of gratitude. Motherās Day is more than the gifts or the perfect breakfast ā itās about those precious moments when love is served with a smile, and memories are made in the simplest of ways.
This Motherās Day was a reminder that sometimes, the best gifts are the ones that touch the heart, wrapped in the laughter of loved ones and sealed with a hug.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Motherās Day too. I feel so blessed and incredibly lucky to be the mum of these two beautiful kids.
