MondayMommyMoments is my way of journaling about motherhood.It’s a great way to keep track of milestones ,tips, and tricks.
The best memory keeper is my brain.But for backup, I have a variety of options.I never thought being a mommy would be so much fun.Imagine till 5 years of age you could be I was infallible in a little person eyes. Then she will have occasional doubts.
I am dreading the time when moms are never believed.
But even with all ups and downs, this is an experience which changes you and makes you better like nothing else.It is also the best way to build up your patience, perseverance.
While every moment is special storing those memories can be a challenge.
Luckily we have several options online and offline.

My favorites ways to store memories of Motherhood are:
You can buy one or convert your laptop or PC into one
LED TV Photo slide.Just plug in your hard disc with your photos and watch one after another, memories flitting through the screen.
Old digital phones.If they are working don’t through them away .decrease e-waste and reuse them as your extra digital storage
Laptop: Never forget to update these and increase your memory.Always a great option for backup of the digital memories.
Hard disks, Pen drives Memory cards.
My favorite hard disc
Cloud storage:
Plenty of options to choose from.Most of these are free for a considerable amount of digital data.You will have to occasionally clean up.
Google Drive
Dropbox
Picasa
Social media with settings adjusted:
This is a great option with unlimited storage.But always adjust your privacy settings to allow only yourself or family/close friends to view.
The password should be strong.I try affirmative password which helps me every time I sign in!
If these platforms suddenly wind up or change their policies (which they can. remember Orkut ?).you may lose your precious pictures if you have no backup.
Facebook with adjusted privacy settings.
YouTube: You can make it private unlisted or public depending on what you want to share.With unlisted settings, you can share the link.
How do you keep your memories of Motherhood stored?

What is the difference between a dad and mom when it comes to parenting?
People are different and so are men and women .We are the best parents to our little girl.When it comes to different ways of parenting I have observed a few things, but it definitely is not a general observation.
The view from the sky about Parenting style:
Daddy always plays however tired he is.
Mummy always insist on 1 healthy food fruit or vegetables.It doesn’t matter whether cook absent or not. This is not negotiable.
Daddy helps revise before exams.Mommy believes in 20 minutes of study time, for 3 hours of play time. This works great.Since Rai is only five, it’s more work for me if I have to make her sit longer.
Daddy loves running around and playing catch.
Mommy likes drawing and coloring with me.
Mommy wants Rai to understand when she is meditating also known as snoozing in the afternoon. Dad never naps.
Ground Zero view of Parenting at my home:
Mommy and Daddy both try their best.But it’s sometimes 60/40 and 40/60 at others.
Parenting is a Tango, best done as a couple!
It’s fulfilling fun and the biggest learning opportunity as an adult.Unfortunately, we don’t get a certificate. Only a well-balanced, healthy, kind human, who is the product of our love, life, insecurities and challenges.Blessing and life’s work all rolled in one.
As my hubby said
If both parents want to work and take care of their children the traditional roles need to overlap and merge.We both need to be mommy and daddy .The best from both !

My daughter’s summer vacation started almost when the monsoon was upon us. We were planning to visit Darjeeling.
Train tickets ,cars and hotel booked.Advance payment in hotel done. We had thought about visiting Cedar Inn this time.
Unfortunately the violent political unrest in Darjeeling, has made it impossible to travel to The Hills.We were not only very worried about the destination next, but also the booking amount already deposited.
The hotel representative who interacted with us over the telephone, was extremely courteous and informed us that the entire amount would be reimbursed.
We just need to send the email requesting cancellation. In spite oft he disappointment of not visiting Darjeeling and missing Glenary’s, it helps us feel better.
This ethical behaviour of the resort administration ,has made us feel blessed.The Goodwill this small act has generated,has made us decide that we will definitely visit Cedar Inn, once Darjeeling returns to normal
Definition of ethical behaviour (dictionary)
Acting in ways consistent with what society and individuals typically think are good values.
Ethical behavior tends to be good for business and involves demonstrating respect for key moral principles that include honesty, fairness, equality, dignity, diversity and individual rights.
Why is Ethical behaviour important?
Why do we need moral standards ?
Why is democracy not to be abused?
How do you teach ethical behaviour to children ?
I am searching for answers .
On a lighter note my #MondayMommy Moments partne Deepa’s blog just turned One. Kreativemommy is an inspiring platform for all creative mothers who want to feature their creativity .
Deepa is hosting a giveaway where The Child City Edutainment who publishes illustrated storybook series ‘Curious Club’is hosting a giveaway.
Join Curious Club – Meg, Ali, Yogi, and Choco, in their expeditions and discover the joy of exploration, creation and new learnings .
It’s through books that morals and ethics can be best taught to children
Deepa is a dear friend and we have hosted MondayMommyMoments since January this year.
