Totally .. especially if it's a friday evening !

It is a beautiful and clear Sunday morning as the three of us chit chat in the living room. It was time to jump into action to do what I love the most - doing creative projects. Archu had to decorate a shoe box and make a card for valentine's day as a craft activity. We used gift wrapping paper, scissors, glue, crayons and markers. Within minutes our craft idea was ready.. A couple of pictures for you. What surprised me.. Archu looked a me and said 'thank you amma' with a beautiful smile, and then gave me the happy hug !

Mission accomplished, finally. It's been my long time dream to organize all greeting cards that I have received from my school days onward till present time. And I am so proud that I have done it ! I have categorized them into 3 areas: Mine before marriage, Mine and Hubby's after marriage, and my baby's (I know, she is only 4). I'm still improvising on the boxes and labeling. Flashback in time - tears came in my eyes in looking at what my friends had written for me 15 years back. I hold them still close to my heart. All of them are on facebook, the only thing that has changed is that we never get to be together, or chit-chat. But nevertheless, facebooking is the medium now.

Now that I have completely made the switch from apple to android OS, I am happy with the user interface, and most importantly Google's android can sync all related items like gmail, maps, YouTube, Google drive, etc. I'm now officially on the go!

I have two words to sum up our trip to Disneyworld, Orlando - 'Fabulous' and 'Exciting'. It was an absolutely worth fun trip to take; and the most satisfying part for me was the fact that I got to do a trip with my parents in the US. Disney world has everything well planned to make the entire 9 yard experience so gratifying. The Magic kingdom never lets us down, I become a kid myself when I see these rides. I should compliment Archu on being very well behaved; afterall she had her grandparents coaxing and cajoling her throughout their trip. I couldn't ask for more :-) While the magic kingdom would have been a kids dream come true, the EPCOT served both kids and adults equally. I am always in awe when I think about the planning, design and technology that would have been invested to build these parks. Hats off to them ! Once again, getting back to Houston from a great trip can prove to be a bit challenging to begin with, but as always, routine takes over. We a
