There is a certain joy in sharing your baked treats with your loved ones... the smile it brings on their face... the comfort it brings them even if life is tough.... the warmth it brings while they think of family who they can't be with... and the sparkle it can bring in their lives... all of these emotions can't be explained until you see it with your own eyes... and I know all my fellow bakers will agree with me.... I am happy and Blessed that I can carry out this tradition every year and I hope to continue....

How do you choose what to promote on your feed and what not to?

"I use social media to promote my posts. And I stay away from promoting products and brands that do not add value to what my blog is all about."

 

 

One instance/experience that made it all worthwhile?

"The first time when I was asked by a lifestyle magazine to contribute an article on décor and gardening."

 

 

What does a regular day look like?

"I juggle with a lot of things on a daily basis… Other than my family commitments, I work on my blog posts on one side and I also have my artwork going on at the other side. And there some future plans that will unfold soon, so I am busy working on that as well."

(Long post alert but from my heart❤) . With a lot of gratitude in my heart it's almost time to leave God's own country and back to my "other" home... so much memories created during this holiday... my tummy and heart is full.... so much bonding that can't be explained in words or through pictures, especially with my 9 year old daughter and her grandparents and my family... nothing is more beautiful than their true love... and the fact that our presence, love and our constant calls is all that our parents need and that in turn is our blessing and blessings to our next generation... So its time to say goodbye to a good holiday where there was no time table, no chores, lazed around, lots of social media time, ate lots of home cooked food, lots of laughter, rains and pampering... soaked in all the good vibes, love and energy.... my heart is now heavy saying goodbye to my folks and it's time to get back into the grind... that's reality... but all good things "need not" come to an end as I am looking forward for more quality time... I will be back with my regular posts soon! Stay tuned!!!❤ P.S. my daughter was my official photographer during my time off as she took tons of pictures of mine (and vice versa) and she is learning tricks of photography just like her mama and I love this pic where she caught me at my content happy self... #frommyheart . #homedecor #stylingideas #decorbloggers #decoraccents #decorinspiration #decorinfluencer #decorideas #decortips #lifestyleblogger #muscatbloggers #omanbloggers #indianblogger #bloggerslife #uaebloggers #interiormagazine #photography #instadecor #interiors #interiorinspiration #uaebloggers #interiormagazine #artist #muscatartist #foodblogger #decor #wanderlust #traveldiaries #blog #lifestyleblog #keraladiaries
