Happy 2nd Birthday Chloe

Dearest Chloe, I know you don’t understand languages by now but someday you will read this and smile. YOU MAKE THIS WORLD AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU ARE! It’s the second year of your life and we’re celebrating your existence as usual. It gave me a kind of amusing floating feeling as I wrote to you how I mapped the upshot of your 2 nd birthday; how only a red hi-cut shoes goes well with your black little dress, how black backdrop will enhance the details of your party decorations, how seafood will bring new taste to lunch, that cake should arrive at 11 am sharp and that Daddy and me will only wear the shades of red." And we will stick to it" I told Daddy.  But truth be told, I wasn’t part of the uphill struggle at all.  I did little to nothing.

And astonishingly, we’re grateful to wrap-up these places we’ve been for the past 2 years that even our grandparents never dreamed possible.

Temple visit: My little Miss Universe and me wearing Zalora dress Old habits die hard, so they say. I made random #newyearresolutions last week after an unplanned trip to our  Kumare’s  house; we will never run out of snack or groceries inside our fridge. From now on, we’ll have healthy options, limit our spontaneous trips, infrequent coffee houses and stop taking cabs as the only means of transportation to everywhere. Until the morning of January 1 st , we embarked on our first ever “unplanned trip”. One resolution failed already. This was the first thing I wrote and burned during our New Year Countdown celebration but broke the same thing 6 hours right after. Unplanned trips are always the best but they can be the most expensive at times. Tell me I’m not alone, lol! Anyway, I’m not giving up completely. Our fridge is crammed with healthy food and snacks and I’ve been eating fish on a daily basis since the start of 2016. Yay.  We’re off to a good start with my ba
