My Diary

All of us working tribe have those wonderful lil secrets (read skills) up our sleeve that helps us multitask so very well. We all are masters at it and keep getting better each year. I for one will enlist gradually all that comes to my mind that has helped me ace at work and give my best to my family also. I don’t want to sound preachy, but what I write in this post has been learnt over the past few years I have been working and this has come through my own trials and errors. Following these tips is easier than finding yourself loaded with emergencies, anxiety and stress. 1 . Wake up early maybe even 30 minutes before you usually do.

From the very beginning I have been giving her fruits and veggies, it started with soups and stews, then purees, then bite size small pieces which can be eaten easily and don’t choke.
