“That awkward moment when your mood swings more “That awkward moment when your mood swings more than a kid at recess.” Photo by @marybissonette 💕✨

When it feels like Thursday, but it’s only Tuesday. Feeling all the moods today. Breathing through it.

How was your day? 

I found some joy on the new swing my hubby put together...it’s like my own little time out spot, until someone finds me lol. 

Started reading The BFG by Roald Dahl to the twins. Has anyone read this one? Kinda scary for the twins (almost 8 yrs)...not sure we will be able to continue. Would love to know if it’s worth continuing, or if I should stop before I traumatize them further.😱

Have a lovely evening folks.✨ #momlife #southasian #southasianmom #southasianblogger #eastwestfashion #eastmeetswest #socalmoms #socalmom #fiftyplusstyle #beautyinchaos #beautyover50 #thisis52 #over50influencer #desiinfluencer #over50style #wellbeing #selfcare #nourishyourmind #mindfulliving #serenityseeker #innerpeace #mindshift #justbe #reboot #meditated #spiritualfitness #breathe
Today the oatmeal I prepared for breakfast was sub Today the oatmeal I prepared for breakfast was subpar according to the twins.
I used quick oats instead of the usual steel cut (I was out). The verdict was “too mushy”!
They did say the blueberry sauce was excellent, so there is that.🤷🏻‍♀️
I on the other hand seriously enjoyed the guilty pleasure of soft mushy oats. I simmered them in oat milk with just a splash of vanilla & a dash of cardamom - creamy af. 
Do prefer steel cut or quick oats?

Have a fantastic week ahead! #veganbreakfast #veganbreakfastideas #vegan #plantbased #healthybreakfast #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #healthyeating #consciouseating #eatrealfood #oatmeal #oatmealbowl #highvibrationalfoods #ditchdietculture #psoriasisdiet #plantbasedbreakfast #southasianmom #foodblogger #femalechef #sahmlife #lifewithkids #momlife #spiritualpracticeofmotherhood #mindfuleating #goodforyou #feelgoodfood #eatingwell

Making Shlissel (meaning “key” in Yiddish) Challah is a fun tradition for the first Shabbat after Pesach. Eating Shlissel Challah is said to bring blessings & good fortune - we could all use some of that after 2020🙏

To make this challah I followed along with @challahprince & @jakecohen - I may have subbed some of the 4 strand braids for 3 - shhhhh don’t tell them!

Served this lovely challah with our Shabbat dinner & then feasted on some ridiculous chocolate cupcakes in celebration of my Mom’s birthday today.🎉

Have a beautiful weekend ahead!
Shabbat Shalom💙

Sunshine, good vibes, & fresh produce - love our l Sunshine, good vibes, & fresh produce - love our local farmer’s market.

The twins had fun picking out their lettuce @underwoodfamilyfarms stand. 
Tom got green leaf & Kai the red. 
I love having the opportunity to include them in the decision making when shopping for our food stuff - I feel like they eat better when they are part of the process from start to finish. In the event I can’t take them with me when I shop, I always ask them to help me with the list. 
Today Kai was in charge of keeping us on budget. She did an excellent job, we went over by $4 - totally my bad & I had to convince her it was ok, ‘cause I really wanted the kettle corn! Whenever we shop the farmer’s market we don’t go in with a set list, we like to pick whichever veggies or fruits catch our eye & then find creative ways to prepare them at home.

Do you make a specific list before hitting the farmer’s market, or randomly shop like we do? #farmersmarket #shoppingwithkids #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #healthyeating #mostlyplants #plantbased #lifewithkids #twins #twinsofinstagram #twinmom #twinmomlife #mindfuleating #mindfulparenting #consciousliving #consciouseating #eatwell #womeninfood #femalechef #chefmom #momlife #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodjourney #momlifestyle #vegetarian #homeschoollife #homeschoolmom #homeschooling #homeschoolfamily #secularhomeschooling

Rolled out of bed, meditated, & promptly worked out today. It’s never easy on a Monday - but got that $hit done, yay me!👏

For lunch I feasted on a creamy vegan mushroom & potato korma I made for @meatlessmonday - good stuff!

Off to make hot chocolate & call it a night.
Have a great week ahead!💕 #meatlessmonday #meatfreemonday #meatfreemeals #meatfree #meatfreemondays #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedmeals #plantbasedchef #vegetarian #indianfood #indianfoodbloggers #southasianblogger #southasianmom #desifood #veganindianfood #veganindian #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #womeninfood #femalechef #femalechefs #mostlyplants #consciousliving #consciouseating #mindfuleating #highvibrationalfoods #healingfoods #yogalifestyle #yogafood

Ralph Waldo Emerson

For lunch a surprisingly simple dish I put together with what I had on hand - Haricots Verts & oven-roasted potatoes in a creamy coconut curry. The flavor of the coriander, cinnamon & the curry leaves combined with the coconut milk made this dish. Had lots of gravy which was wonderful on top of the basmati rice I served it with.

Staring a new book today “Total Meditation” by @deepakchopra 
Has anyone read it yet? I’m off to dive into it, have a great sleep or a brilliant day!✨

Chag Pesach Sameach!🎉 Happy Passover!💙✨ 
First photo is of the gluten free vegan cake the twins & I made. 
They came up with the design, which I thought was super cute. 
Swipe to check out the delicious matzo ball soup - part of an amazing Seder with our beautiful friends @ynotgrafix 💙

Today is National Puppy Day!!!🎉🐾❤️

Here is our puppy Ghost, he is a 6 month old Great Pyrenees. He turns to mush when I give him “the claw” massage on his chest - see photo.

He loves...to play with his best friend Sage (our Siamese), eating & eating & eating, playing tug of war & fetch, long walks, splashing in the garden pond, sniffing butts, cuddling on the sofa, & most of all giving & receiving hugs & kisses. 
But wait, I forgot something - he is just a phenomenal landscaper, our garden has certainly been transformed under his care!😜 
We love our boy!💙🐾
