Christmas treats
Today was candy making class for my special boy. He loves cooking and he loves candies. Should be easy right? But there are some complications. He is surrounded in a place with candies and cookies and he has to be patient until he can eat one. My husband on the other hand didn’t want him […]

A Fall Day!
After two busy weeks, I went for a walk. My husband decided to walk with my son and I took my time to take stroll on the trail. The trail is a constant for my boy, so there is not much anxiety. But for me, I noticed the leaves changing color and felt the crisp […]

Positivity

Living in the present

Slip
Ragtag Community Prompt: Slip These pictures were taken February 2011 in Boston. That was the last winter we spent in that city before moving to Pittsburgh. If you love snow you would love Boston. Nothing can beat the Nor’easters over there. Then again comes the risk of icy conditions that can make you slip and […]

Cleaning up
The past few weeks I have been trying to clean up my house. To start the process of clearing things out I found out I needed to have a strong mind. Even a tiny bit of attachment to a piece of cloth or a mug is going to collect dust again. Two weeks back I […]
