If you look at it from the perspective of an employer, many of us young parents can be a liability. We have fixed timings for kiddo pick ups and drop offs during which we are unavailable for meetings or additional work. Sometimes our kids fall sick, or their caregiver does, prompting us to shorten hours… Continue reading Becoming a kickass working parent
Admittedly, the last few months have been so busy that I haven’t had much time to sit, think or write. I may get flack for saying this, but life as a parent leaves you with very little focus time. You have to make a genuine effort to pull yourself away from plenty of fun things… Continue reading Aashvi Smiles and other life updates
Since the beginning of this year, I find myself in the mood to study. Last year, because of the baby’s erratic schedules, my focus was to just get enough sleep at night.

‘Back when all my little goals seemed so important. Every pot of gold fill and full of distortion Heaven was a place still in space not in motion But soon I got you I got everything I got you I don’t need nothing more than you I got everything I got you’ This is an… Continue reading Goal setting postpartum
I’m almost at the 40 day postpartum mark as I write this. That means 6 weeks! Its unbelievable how quickly time has flown. Everyone told me to savor the newborn days precisely because of that reason. In the initial few days I didn’t think time would go by fast enough because of how sleep deprived… Continue reading 40 days postpartum
There was a book I’d seen called the fourth trimester in my list of recommendations from new moms. But I never had the time to read it. Now I wish I had because I’d have known what to expect the first few months with a newborn! This is going to be a post on the… Continue reading The fourth trimester
The start of the year has been busy, as it has been for many of you. January is usually for goal setting and vision boarding.
