Aroha is my biggest inspiration for starting this blog. When you become a mom, you realize more than ever how fast time flies and you want to document each and every moment of your child’s life. That’s why I started my Instagram page to begin with but on that platform I met and got to know a lot of fellow moms, each struggling with one aspect of the motherhood or the other, and each with a unique perspective and solution which helped me in my own journey. That’s how the idea of this blog came to be.
Aroha is my inspiration, my muse and my companion in everything I do these days. This little girl has a big personality - blueberries are her favorite fruit, loves bollywood songs, dances to the tunes and even tries to hum along. Her favorite toy keeps changing and she enjoys her car rides a lot. Daddy is her most favorite person in the world, and I think mama is a close second.

I knew Sushant since high school, we even went to the same college but didn’t actually start dating until our first job after college. We were in the same company, same city and it’s been 10 years since. I have always appreciated for who he is and what he does but none of it compares to how well he has taken up the role of a father.
Aroha is a pandemic baby, we had a positive test just 2 weeks before there was a worldwide lockdown. And I developed a condition during my pregnancy where I was on bed rest for 6 out 9 months trying to keep the baby healthy. During this time, Sushant was working a full-time job, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, taking me to my doctors’s appointments and taking care of me full time. We couldn’t get any of our families or friends for help but Sushant didn’t let me feel any of that.

And it’s just the same since Aroha arrived. He is full hands-on dad, a true partner in every sense. And what makes it even better - he’s my BEST FRIEND!
