Observe - Meditate - Follow Your Intuitions - Work Of A Parent - Quote By Rudolf Steiner - Waldorf

Rudolf Steiner’s advice to the first Waldorf kindergarten teacher in the early 1920s was these lines in this poster!

Observe the children.

Actively meditate.

Follow your intuitions.

Work so that all your actions are worthy of imitation.

This is a great reminder for me, that I would like to revisit every single day! Amidst all the daily routines, episodes of highs & lows, instances of handling tantrums of a toddler, if there is something superlative I can do for my toddler, it is to be mindful, and follow these beautiful lines, and then everything will fall into place in the long term.

It is okay if some day I am not able to do anything productive with my child, it is okay if some day me & my child just laze around in the bed together, it is okay if some day he is not learning anything new, it is okay be slow, kind & calm to yourself, so that you echo & reflect the same to your child. 

Because at the end of the day, we need happier & calmer individuals in the future, more than learned & intellectual ones. Learnings will automatically follow :)

Cloth Diaper Review - MARVY From Cloth Diaper Shop India (VLOG)

I exclusively cloth diaper my son, no disposables! I have been using cloth diapers since he was a newborn. He is 20 months now & I have not used more than may be 30 disposables till now, which includes travel times, and we have traveled a lot with him, believe me. I have happily cloth diapered him during my vacations as well. 

Recently, I used this awesome cloth diaper called MARVY from the Cloth Diaper Shop (CDS) for my son's night time diapering needs. And I must say my quest for an AWESOME NIGHT TIME DIAPERING SYSTEM ends here!

Before MARVY, I was using bamboo squares & bada hemp inserts from CDS again for night time diapering. Check them out, they are very good too! CDS has a huge collection of various other kind of cloth diapers that you can use during day times. And the person behind CDS, Poornima is super helpful to guide & help you select a cloth diaper according to your needs & budget.

5 Scary Realities Every SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) Should Know

[Guest Post at +Indian Moms Connect ]

I used to be a working woman till a few years back, pretty ambitious & a workaholic. I was used to hefty paychecks, regular outings, movies every weekend, a great social circle, shopping sprees and what not!

Then things changed when I was trying to conceive. It was a much longer than a normal process for us to finally cherish the arrival of our baby. A couple of years! I had to quit my job in this process. And that was when I went through a lot, read, learnt, internalized & changed a lot, a metamorphosis happened.

Now I’m a SAHM to my 18 months old son. It was a conscious decision to be there for my son & not go out for a day long job. The reality of a SAHM did not take long to hit me. There are many moms out there who echo these feelings. Needless to say, after these harsh realities, at the end of the day, the satisfaction of nurturing our tiny soul(s) is immense.
