What makes a Restaurant Kid-Friendly?

March 15, 2010 by amreen

We went out for lunch yesterday with our three kids and it was actually fun. Sometimes it's not fun.  In fact, there are occasions when dining out with them is an absolute nightmare. However, when it's fun, it's great. It means exploring new foods together, sharing an experience, … [Read more...]

Saturday night

March 14, 2010 by amreen

What a rainy start to March break.  A peaceful day nevertheless. All the kids' activities are on hold due to the holiday week, and it is so liberating.  What a boon to have a day to do nothing but relax, cuddle and loll around with my babies.  Makes me think that it would be nice … [Read more...]

Monday Night Randoms

March 9, 2010 by amreen

  The Baby has had a fever for four days. I have never seen her this miserable, and it's breaking my heart.  The Boy lost two teeth today.  They've been loose for days, but were finally set free by a Werther's caramel given to him by his teacher. My husband took me to a dingy club … [Read more...]

Do you tweet?

March 5, 2010 by amreen

Twitter, twatter, what's the fuss? I had no idea. I mean, really no idea just how out of the loop I really am. Last night, I attended an information session hosted by Jen Maier (friend, Urbanmoms founder, marketing guru, mom extraordinaire - these are just a few of her incarnations!).  During … [Read more...]

Five Reasons Why I loved growing up in St. Stephen, New Brunswick

March 1, 2010 by amreen

  My twenty year high school reunion is coming up. As I reconnect with old friends, and plan our get-together, I find myself increasingly nostalgic about the eighteen wonderful years I spent in St. Stephen, New Brunswick.  The photo above depicts the NB landscape at its best - a … [Read more...]

The Mens’ Room? I don’t think so.

February 26, 2010 by amreen

The Boy will soon turn seven.  This is unfathomable to me.  He is still my baby, and how seven years have passed I don't know.  That, however, is a story for another post.  This post is full of questions. Questions that I thought were still years away.  Just a few … [Read more...]

After a while, the eyes crave new things.  New colours, designs, ideas - it's stimulating to the senses and invigorating to the soul.

Eating in India: Culinary Ecstasy

February 10, 2010 by amreen

To say that my taste buds have been dormant would be an understatement.  Eating in India is like nothing else. Don't get me wrong, I've had lovely meals here, at people's homes and elsewhere. But there's something about food in India that ignites the taste buds with an explosive … [Read more...]

Incredible India!

February 8, 2010 by amreen

We're back from our wild and wonderful vacation! The trip was amazing - food, shopping, family bonding, a multi-event family wedding and lots of sun.  I wanted to blog more frequently from Chennai, where I was based, but it proved to be more difficult that I hoped with a clingy toddler … [Read more...]
