Given the title, I’m sure some of you are expecting a rant on how I’d like to lock the Little Monkey in a corner for a bit… quite the contrary actually. I’m often asked “Does it feel different?” and “What’s the biggest difference?” and until now, I’ve always said that there are small changes (like not being […]
So you know how there’s a few recipes that you always get requests for? Well I’ve been lazy at actually writing down the recipes so here they are, finally! These are super easy to whip up using random things you usually have on hand (well we tend to have most of these ingredients on hand) […]
So we are one of those annoying parents who actually LIKE ( I know WHAT!?!?) taking our Little Monkey everywhere we go. She’s an easy child (for now) so why not? We are hoping to save all the free babysitting services for when she’s a bit older, more annoying and when we’d actually want a […]
This seriously was not a question for us. Given my Sri Lankan background, where babies get their ears pierced at a very young age (couple of months at most), I eagerly awaited the day we could pierce the Little Monkey’s ears. After many delays (must wait for her first set of shots! oh she has […]
Am I crazy for saying this? As a new mom, I actually have time on my hands. To be honest, that’s one of the reasons I started this blog. Yes I really do have a three month old! And yes…I’m lucky that she’s inherited the sleep gene from her parents. This might soon change, I’m […]
Paris the city of love, good food and great wine. We decided to spend two days exploring this lovely city on our way back home. The last time I was there I was about 8 years old so this time around I planned to make the most of it. Yes we hit the famous tourist […]
Travelling with the the Little Monkey has been a fairly easy journey so far thanks to my favourite items and tricks when travelling with a baby. She has been on 8 flights to date, visiting London, Bahrain (stop overs), Mumbai, Jaipur, Delhi and Pairs. Including various road trips to Agra to see the gorgeous Taj Mahal and […]
Yes I already have 10 must haves for travel with a newborn baby! We’ve been travelling for nearly a month and have been quite adventurous with our travel itineraries. England was a walkable city for the most part, India chaotic with lots of road trips (but never any space for a car seat!) and next up we’re […]
Having lived in many South Asian countries, I’ve always noticed the “Horn OK Please” tagline on trucks and buses. Yet no one I know was aware of the reasoning behind the saying (if any). Having snooped around I found various theories behind this cultural phenomena – on a five minute drive you will be confronted […]
When I told people we were going to travel to London and India with our nearly 2 month old, I got two reactions 1) That’s fantastic, they are so easy to travel with at that age and what better time ! 2) Oh geez. You sure? That’s going to be hard. I thought I was […]
