 Hello Beauties! While cleaning my cabinets today, I figured all the essential items for infants and toddlers which I always have handy for my little ones. So I thought of listing them down to remind myself and also help out the poor moms who panic in emergency situations when their kiddo completely loses it in discomfort or pain. These products are saviors, I tell you! 1) Panadol Infant Drops These drops are a necessity. It works as a pain reliever and controls fever for a baby suffering from low grade temperature. There are times when during the day or night you suddenly feel your baby is warm and dull, these drops can be instantly given to control the temperature. Of course, a doctor needs to be consulted if the symptoms are severe but for an immediate first dose, they are the best. Secondly, they are extremely useful when you have just got your baby vaccinated, as it controls mild fever and relieves the pain. The number of dosage is clearly mentioned on the bottle...

My husband and I can't thank BabyTv enough for their amazing programs. I think we love the channel more than our kids since it keeps them busy for a few good hours during the whole day and in the meanwhile I get done with my routine household chores. Simultaneously, they are learning so much. Our daughter is 2.5 years old and boys are 1. The elder one has learned all the nursery rhymes and counting from this channel. She can identify and name animals and colors now. It's funny how she holds our finger and takes us to the TV so we can turn on the channel for her and this is the reason why her vocabulary is great at this age. The boys are quite young but the music and interactive cartoons have captured their attention too, they swing and hum while listening to the rhythms and lullabies. The most unique feature of this channel is the birthday series which will star your child on his/her birthday in their cartoon. Your toddler will be delighted to see himself/herself on live T...

Pakistan's children garment industry is gradually reclaiming it's share in the market. The industry is booming with the increased awareness not only among mothers but also children who want to follow the latest fashion trends. The demand for imported children clothing has rapidly declined after the introduction of some of these brands. Of course, why would we spend thousands on international brands when we have them available in our local market, offering competitive quality and designs. Moreover, spending so much on kids clothing is pointless as children grow at a fast rate. Therefore, now I don't have to ask family an friends abroad to get me baby stuff from abroad. Yayy! I can do the shopping myself or simply order these brands online and get them delivered at my doorstep. So here goes my list of brands which I prefer for my kids for their affordable prices, designs and good customer service. So far they haven't disappointed me: 1. OUTFITTERS  Outfitters has is...

Few years back, when I was single, still remember, how career focused I used to be, with a lot of ambitions and plans to learn and excel in my field. Never thinking of what the future would really hold for me. Before completing my degree, I luckily secured  a job in the Human Resource Department at a leading hospital of the country. I absolutely loved my job and workplace because I was handling a lot of projects and recruitment activities independently. The feeling of being empowered and appreciated was great. I got married 6 months later and gave birth to my daughter a year and half later. I continued working but didn't go for the day care option (that's another debate). Instead I had the options to leave her with my mom or mother-in-law. So we went for the second option with mutual consensus. After my maternal leave of 3 month, I worked as a part timer in the same role for about a month before getting back to the normal routine. She was almost 4 months when I resumed workin...

My twin boys have recently turned one. This one year has been a great roller coaster ride. There are times when I’m extremely exhausted or burnt out, as they call it, dealing with the intensified demands of two babies at the same time. Simultaneously, the feeling of having two bundles of unbelievable joy is out of the world. Despite of a lot of challenges, you still feel great, learn about your strengths and fears, energy to constant juggle between the two and see two lovable faces all day long.   Though it’s not been that long but I have expressed   my short journey in this blog.   Being pregnant with twins is not the same as with a singleton. From the pregnancy risks to difficulty in carrying them, low energy levels to extra fatigue and morning sickness. It’s a different experience than just having a bigger belly (which I assumed initially). You are constrained to travel and the number of prenatal visits is more than a usual pregnancy.   If yo...
