Where do I even begin with this one? It’s been a tumultuous period of time. I was going to say for us, and I do still mean us, but when I say us, I mean the 4 of us. Not just me and Amar. We’ve all been getting asked questions, some assumptions. Shreya’s been on the frontline of some questions too about when her brother will be starting school, and of course those questions are then fired back at us. I started thinking about this blog post a few weeks ago and it probably would have …

A phase that makes me feel a little queasy at times. It’s something that crops up daily at the moment, sometimes fading away into the background but always there. I’ve talked a bit in recent posts about her ‘first’ real experience of going out to "Trick or Treat" a couple of weeks ago, her ‘first’ real experience of Diwali last …
About Me
Hello! Welcome to my new blog called Keeping You In Mind, a small space in the gigantic world of social media where I’ll mainly be talking about motherhood and sharing stories up-close about our family life in Warwickshire. I love writing and photography! So, when I joined Instagram back in October 2016 (latecomer), I instantly felt drawn to the mums, women, parents who share every-day life as it unfolds. It’s been right up my street connecting with such fantastic people where some days I feel …
