Day 165 (Jun 26, 2013) Doorway

Back in old days, the doorway entrance used to be smeared with turmeric, due to it's antiseptic and medicinal benefits. Now, the practice has taken to more of an artistic trend and beautification with lovely designs and colors.

In India, every home has some decor at entrance for sure. A creative corner for women :)

Day 145 (Jun 6, 2013) Lake Moraine

Digging out an old picture from archives. This is one of my favorite pictures from Banff! Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, Canadian Rockies, Glacier tour....it was a great nature trip. The emerald colored lakes were so enchanting that my two eyes weren't enough to relish nature's beauty. The only regret is that I missed a chance to canoe in Lake Louise. Would love to go back just for that :)

Lil Hershey refused to get off the swing yesterday! We had to pull him out finally while he continued to throw tantrums :D

Day 143 (Jun 4, 2013) Dessert night

Hubby and I have developed a sweet tooth of late. Last weekend he was craving for yummy crepes and there we were at a famous dessert joint right away. It takes a lot of effort and time to finish a single dish at this place! We took a good hour and a half to finish up these desserts. I had to nullify my sweet tongue with strong coffee sips inbetween. It was soo worth it.

On my side it's a hot dark chocolate brownie cake with vanilla ice cream and on the other side it's tiramisu icecream with crepe. Yummm. Little guilty pleasures in life :D  

Day 142 (Jun 3, 2013) First Birthday Party!

First Birthdays are always special.We hosted a party to celebrate my son's first birthday last month. The theme was Safari and Jungle animals as Hershey is fond of animals. There was a huge bouncer in Safari theme. The cake had little miniature animals. A balloon twister and a caricature artist added to the fun quotient. Kids loved it. Little Hershey was super excited looking at all the balloons. He totally enjoyed the party!

Day 141 (Jun 2, 2013) Flowers on the wall...err desk

My manager has come up with an interesting idea at work. Team members bring flowers for everyone in the team every week in rotation.

I think that works! Love the sight of flowers on my desk...lightens the mood :) Besides, the team members have gotten closer too!

These were the flowers last week. Waiting for my flowers today...Something to pep up the mourning Monday!
