I am continuing my apple themed series of blog posts. Last Sunday my family and I we went apple picking. I ended with 20 lbs of apples. Fortunately, I have a collection of amazing apple themed posts from members of the Social Fabric community which I am sharing below. I know I don’t have to …
Since we still have a couple of days before school officially starts here in the Northeast, I asked TEE to recommend seven books for teens. TEE (who is going to be 15 soon) is a voracious reader and there have been times when I have told her to stopped reading and asked her to something …
Once upon a time, in a distant land, when children became sick, the mother warmed up a cup of milk, added a pinch of turmeric and gave it to them. The kids did not like this concoction and tried their best to avoid it. However, the saying “mother knows best” prevailed. The kids had no …

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to give my blog a makeover. It was long overdue. After researching on Google and soliciting advice from blogger friends, I decided to re-design the blog myself. I am glad I did it. It was not as difficult as I thought it would be. …

My favorite brand of hot sugar wax is not available anymore. I searched them in all the stores and even checked online. I don’t know why the manufacturer stopped making them. When I checked on Amazon, the container of sugar wax which sells for around $10 was being sold for almost triple that price. So …
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Best Buy My DH has wanted to replace our family room TV for a long time now. There is nothing wrong with out current TV (we got it from Best Buy), but he wanted to upgrade to a bigger size. He usually waits until the …
Since we moved to our house five years back, my DH wanted me to start a vegetable garden. I was not very thrilled about the idea. I don’t deal very well with bugs, insects, pests or any other kinds of creepy crawlies. I don’t mind planting flowers, but dealing with a vegetable patch is a …
Last week I went to our local Asian store and was shopping around in the produce section. All of a sudden I heard TEE screaming, and was incoherently asking me to buy something. I told her to calm down, and asked her what it was that she wanted. Trying to contain her enthusiasm she pointed …
Sometimes I find myself looking at both TEE and ‘S’ and wondering what they will be when they grow up. I know as a mom or a parent I am not alone. I am sure we have all done this with our kids. We look at them and we think — I bet she/he will …
Yesterday I had this brilliant idea to make mozzarella cheese pakoras/bhajis. The weather outside was horrible with freezing rain, the kids had day off from school and I needed content for my blog. So you see it was a perfect day to show love to some deep-fried goodness. The fact that I had all the …
I was having a conversation with my friend recently and as usual we started talking about our kids. I was telling her how difficult it is to get my younger one “S” to do anything she doesn’t like (for eg, her homework, reading, keeping her toys back in place etc.). Many of my other friends …
Some of you who are new to my blog may not know that I sell on ETSY . Occasionally and really once in a while, I use my blog to plug my shop BabsBoutiquee. I figured, if I can work with other brands to create awareness and market their products, why not do the same …
