15 Years, a Lifetime of Memories ❤️✨

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

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 ❤️
