Last couple of weeks

Last Updated on April 29, 2013 by Babita

Since last couple of weeks I have been on the ‘Mom & Homemaker’ mode completely. I have been overly and exhaustively busy. Here are some of the activities I have been busy with:

•  Since the start of spring my soccer mom duties have officially started. Soccer practices, games, swimming and hindi classes have pretty much taken over my life. Waiting for summer break to do the happy dance.

• The weather for most part has been wonderful. I am having a great time gardening. The only downside to the gardening is all the bugs & earthworms that I encounter. I am not a very worm, insect or bug friendly person…yuck. 

• My front lawn is adorned with beautiful flowers. All the annuals I planted last year came back. It  is a mystery I cannot understand. They have inspired me to reconnect with my camera after a long time. I am glad that some pushing from my DH towards that direction has also helped. 

• I was also busy with the some renovation work being done in our kitchen. I wanted to have back splash installed in the kitchen. Shopping for the tiles was time consuming as I had to make couple of trips to home improvement and tile specialty stores. Eventually I found these beautiful olive glass tiles in Home Depot… had to go to 4 of them because they did not have enough tiles in stock. Found the other accent glass tiles from a tile specialty store in Edison. Below are the pictures. For all of you who jumped the gun to think that I installed these…wait…I would like to correct you….. I just designed it. Installation was done by a professional. Good or bad..let me know what you think.

In conclusion:

As a result of being so busy I have not had the time to even glance at the Sheesh Mahal project….

I am not making any excuses. Infact I am going down to my basement right now.
