Bittersweet

If somebody asked you -  "wanna two shoe" - what would you think they were asking for? Well this is what my daughter asked me from the back seat of the car today. I checked her feet, both shoes were on, so I was perplexed. It wasn't until I noticed her holding her nose that I realized she was asking for a tissue! I want to remember this moment forever, because she is just at the cusp of starting to speak in proper sentences. When that happens I know the last vestiges of her baby-ness will be gone!

To commemorate this bitter-sweet moment, here are my babies, both at two years and two months doing their "cheese" smiles for the camera. I hope I can always remember them like this - young, sweet and cheesy!

Don't call in Stacy and Clinton

This morning I decided to take my newly rediscovered waist out for a spin and put together this little outfit.  The outfit consists of the following: A sheer white dressy top from HM over a white t-shirt. (Sheer is not encouraged at my workplace hence the white shirt underneath), Black gap pants, and the piece de resistance - a black wide belt from Suzy Shier. I know big waist belts are so five years ago, but five years ago, I didn't have a waist. Although I have already been wearing this outfit for several hours in public, I am still debating whether the white neck bow and the big black belt clash or not. I really hope I don't end up on what not to wear.

Things I love about today

1. My son's "dance" face

2. My husband's tacos - yummmmm

3. The fact that my daughter is very close to being potty trained (pic is of her putting her doll on the potty)

I have a waist

Ok, so you can only really see it if you view me from the back, but you know what? It's a step in the right direction. It means that finally all the working out and eating right is paying off. Recently I made a huge change. I've started substituting rice with cauliflower at dinner time. When mixed with curry and daal, it makes a hearty meal. It was a huge sacrifice for me to make. I was born Bengali . We love our rice!

Top three funny things my son said today

3. My teacher says I'm learning life skills in play kitchen at school
2. Are there any guys in Bangladesh?
1. Daddy you have nice fur

Ok so he only really said one funny thing today but if I made that the focus of today's post then someone ( not mentioning any names) may get offended. Just to be clear my husband doesn't own any article of clothing that has any fur on it. Funny right?

Got yogurt?

I'm sure you all heard of the got milk campaign. Well my daughter's started her own campaign. I promise I didn't draw a nose and whiskers on her with yogurt, this is just how she like to eat her yogurt. She dives in, nose first!

Super hubby!

For those of you who personally know me, you might be aware of the fact that since My husband has been in my life, I've been struggling with my weight. It's not for the usual reasons:
I found my man and hooked him so I don't care anymore
or
Happiness make me fat!

It's way more basic than that! The man can cook.

For example - chicken curry with a side of mixed veggies, yummmmm!
