Did you know that strawberries are actually an excellent source of Vitamin C, potassium and manganese? I have been loading up my fruit basket with strawberries and using it in different dishes. Make the most of the seasonal produce is my mantra!

This year has been extremely challenging for me both in terms of work and being a parent. I found myself more out of balance than in control. I was always busy managing and prioritising so many parts of me that I found a sense of doing justice to none. Yes, it happens to the best of us. That’s when it dawned on me I just need to prioritize my life. I am possibly giving into things that are far less important than I think a lot more time.
Parenting is the world’s toughest job. It’s tough not because the kids are difficult but because we have no experience and never enough time. The people running the show are so unpredictable and dynamic that it’s hard and actually not correct to templatize their lives or situations. Yes, I am guilty of doing that.
I have been sharing my lessons all through these years because it helps me reflect on what I want for next year and work towards it. This year is all about the new things we look to work on as a family.
You may also like: Parenting trends to look forward to 2018
1. Life on social media is not what it appears always and don’t think yours is any less special:
Please do not wake up to social media and feel less accomplished for not having that perfect lifestyle or that perfect moment. It’s all very different and you have no idea how many shots it took to create that one perfect moment. We have no clue how many moms lost their cool while their kids did not want to shoot that moment or they couldn’t get it right! Use social media to learn, grow and adapt and not feel inadequate or inferior.
2. Gadget-free time with kids is a must:
I know it may sound really hard but the two or three hours that we, as working parents spend with them need to be sans the phone. Imagine while you are talking to your spouse and he/she is busy checking something on his phone. How would you react? Unfortunately, our kids feel the same but have quietly given up on us. Let’s do it for ourselves. Let’s give them that undivided attention that they definitely need. Remember, work can wait.
3. Be honest with them: There were moments in 2017 where I thought I didn’t have answers to their questions and some answers would hurt them but I do believe that letting them learn the truth sometimes is easier than the cover being blown off.
4. Invest in teaching your kids:
While free play and unstructured play time are great, I do feel that time spent in teaching the kids and working with them will really help shape the fundamentals or concepts much better. Providing the right stimuli for them to learn through exploration is what I most definitely would want to work in 2018. And these are things only a parent can do. It cannot be outsourced.
5. Me time is not being selfish:
Whenever I spend time with myself I return to the parenting world as a happier mom and the same time, not neglecting my duties as a parent. I am not going to neglect me but I will prioritize on things that could take a back seat to carve out time for myself and people who matter. I also realize that I need to be a healthier and a fitter mom to be able to attend to the needs of my children and family.
6. Lead by example:
I have stopped talking about sizes and weight and started talking more about health, gratitude and the importance of discipline. I want my kids to not look at food as carbs, proteins, fats, minerals but just as essential food groups that aide important functions of the body and not something that results into weight gain or loss of muscle. They need to be thankful for the meal that they eat and that’s what matters.
7. The drive to win but the emphasis to try:
Inspired by our interview with Gopichand, I don’t want my kids to believe that there is only 1 in a billion who can make it to world sports or academics but the process of reaching it is equally important and the lessons learnt along the way is what will shape them.
8. It’s always a perfect day:
I am an eternal optimist and believe that every day is beautiful. I want my kids to always be optimistic and never wait for that perfect day or moment but create those or live each day to make it perfect.
9. Teach your kids to have confidence in themselves:
In a world where everyone is hoping for a near-perfect life and photoshopped images, I want my kids to believe in themselves. There will always be moments when people will make them feel inadequate but the key is believing in not to lose faith in themselves and weave their own magic in the stories they share.
10. If she doesn’t make it to the top she isn’t a loser and you are not a bad parent:
I think this was the toughest lesson for me to learn. As parents, we burden ourselves with expectations. There could be multiple reasons for you to believe that something would be better for your kids and they must achieve that. At first, when the daughter didn’t achieve what I thought was right for her, I was miserable and I made her feel miserable. And I realised, I was so wrong! Children learn to move on but I couldn’t. Ditch this guilt, parents.
11. My child doesn’t know what she is good at and neither do I:
As parents, we are constantly in a battleground trying to figure out what our kids are good at. What will she do when she grows up, I keep wondering, But the fact is that I have changed 4 careers in my 36 years of life and at this point, what I am doing now, seems the best and what I really want. I really don’t know about tomorrow and how it will change (will it?!) If I can’t predict things at this age, how can I burden my child to figure out what she wants at the tender age of 8/9?
12. Photos are memories and not meant to be perfect because our kids are not models:
My kids love taking pictures of moments, memories, magic and madness. They just hate it when I ask them to stand or pose and I’ve realized I’m not going to be a bitter mom trying to perfect that and lose their spontaneity. So next time you ask your child to smile because he is on camera think whether he actually likes it or not!
13. What do I want for my child?:
Answer this one question and you will get to know more about yourself as a parent.
14. I’ve learned to laugh:
I have probably stopped losing my head over spilt milk, dirty clothes, scribbled walls, incomplete snack boxes or witty back answers. And I mean this. I drove myself crazy over thinking how do they just drop milk but the point is they do! How does the bottle of poster colours just open and turn itself upside down, but it does! I have learnt to laugh at myself and that’s why it’s easy.
15. La Familia:
I think families will play a much bigger role in the years to come than it is today. Simply because the amount of virtual interaction where acquaintances really define your spirit can be very lonely. What my girls and I definitely learnt after watching the movie Coco was ensuring we spend every Sunday at Nani’s house. Families will be our driving force. They will be the ones that will help us stay rooted and drive our value systems.
16. Not to use love as a carrot to discipline kids:
This is one of the most important lessons and I realized that every juncture of parenting I did this. Meal times, classes, getting ready. Love was no longer unconditional and it felt like barter each time. This had to change. I wanted to stop making my kids believe that my love was conditional and they had to please me each time and overrule their feelings. Read how here.
17. Never Say Never:
This is a thumb rule to parenting. Never say never to anything that your kids can do. Kids are an unpredictable species and if you feel that your kids would never do it you are wrong.
18. You are doing the best job you know:
This is one of my favourite lines from the song affirmation by Savage Garden which says “Your parents did the best job they knew how to do”. In any relationship, it’s never enough and we are all trying to give in and nurture it but some days are cloudy and there isn’t enough sunshine and that is also okay.
19. Don’t try to do it alone:
The biggest lesson is to ask for help and share. Ask help from your friends and family. It’s a tough job and the best person to stand by you is your spouse.

For the first six months of baby’s life, the best thing to feed your baby is breastmilk. Paediatricians advise you to refrain from feeding regular milk to baby until they turn one, even if you do start baby on solids once they turn 6months old. Sounds strange, right? When we can introduce rice, fruits and vegetables, why not milk? This is a question every mom has asked at some point or the other.
What is Milk?
The composition of breast milk is about
87% water
3.8% fat
1.0% protein
and 7% lactose
Compare that to cows milk which comprises of fat which makes up approximately 3 – 4 % of the solid content of cow milk, protein about 3.5 % and lactose 5 %. The high levels of protein, sodium, and potassium in cow milk make it difficult for the infant’s delicate system to digest it.
Why no cow’s milk until age 1?
Babies under the age of one cannot digest the high nutrient content in cow’s milk. Also, cow’s milk does not have the right amounts of iron and vitamins essential for infants and can, therefore, lead to an iron deficiency. Also, the infant’s digestive system is not ready for such complex fats and digestion, therefore, becomes a huge matter of concern.
Dr Raghuram Mallaiah, Director Neonatology, Fortis La Femme,
“Cow’s milk can be safely introduced to infants after 1 year. Until 1 year all infants should remain on breast milk (preferable). Cow’s milk can be introduced after 1 year without any additions like sugar or milk supplements. Most infants will require about 500ml of milk per day and rest should be in the form of semi-solids.”
Different types of milk that can be introduced
Different ways to introduce cow’s milk to one-year-old baby
- Make sure you serve the milk warm
- Add milk as a part of cereal and milkshake
- Porridge
- Mix with breast milk
- Milk-based kheer
Always Remember
- Don’t introduce cow’s milk for the first time at night.
- Always keep a watch out for baby reacting to the milk. If there are frequent signs of uneasiness, stomach issues, skin irritation or vomiting, soon after having milk, consult your doctor immediately.
- Introduce full-fat milk and avoid skimmed milk. Organic milk can also be an option.
- Pediatricians advise against letting cow’s milk be the last thing your baby has at night because of the sugar content.
- There is no need to introduce milk to baby with sugar or flavour powders or malt drinks at this stage.

Desserts are the perfect ending to every good meal. Actually, they don’t have to be at the end. For people like me, I can make a meal out desserts. I know I have some people smiling and nodding!
So we thought we should bring some sweetness into everyone’s lives as we close the year. We got Chef Amrita Kaur to come and teach us some super easy recipes which are perfect for the holiday season. Godrej Nature’s Basket was the perfect host for this FB Live where Chef Amrita, whose a food stylist and food blogger taught a few young chefs to make two desserts using the goodness of strawberries and chocolate.
This was an extremely fun and interactive session where Amrita quizzed the kids on the recipe and other nutritional facts about the ingredients.
So the first recipe that she taught us was a No-Bake Strawberry Christmas Cheesecake Tart.
You can easily make with your budding chefs at home. You can watch the video below to know how she put it all together.
To make 4 small tarts
Ingredients
- 6 Marie/Digestive Biscuits
- 1 Tbsp melted Butter
- Pinch of Salt
- ½ Cup Cream Cheese
- 1 Cup Whipped Cream
- 2 Tbsp Fresh Strawberry Puree
- Juice of half a Lemon
- ¼ Cup Castor Sugar
- 4-5 Strawberries
- Sugar sprinkles for garnish
Method
- Combine crushed biscuits with melted butter and salt and mix well. Press it on bottom of tart shells. Set aside.
- Soften the cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add strawberry puree, lemon juice & caster sugar and mix it really well using a whisk or a spatula.
- Finally fold in the whipped cream. Pour this batter onto the crushed biscuits filled tart shells.
- Arrange strawberry slices in shape of Christmas tree and garnish with some sugar sprinkles.
- Refrigerate to set for an hour. It’ll be easy to take them out of tart shells once they have set well.
The second recipe that she did with the kids is a dessert in disguise – Chocolate Flower Pot Disguise. This decadent chocolate mousse looks absolutely amazing. When you see the end result you’re sure to go running to your kitchen to whip this up now! Watch the video to learn the steps as Chef Amrita Kaur walks you through the recipe.

Kids 2 Day Winter Camp On Money Skills
Financial literacy is the need of the hour. As adults each one must have experienced financial crisis at some point in our lives where we are forced to think a better understanding of dealing with our finances since childhood may have saved us from getting into such an unfortunate situation in the first place. Since schools don’t have financial literacy as a part of their curriculum the onus of making kids financially literate falls upon us, parents and guardians. During our program kids play the Money Game which is an interactive financial education game where the room is the board, the players are the pieces and the lessons last a lifetime.
