I am not one for parties, and social events, they bore me...so what I do is i take some out for the kids each weekend for a few hours, and then, a few hours for myself and kartik.

N more than me. I would like to meet people at least once a month or so but N is quite happy without even that! These days, we try to fit in a kid related activity every other weekend.

As I too work the weekends are for he kids. I plan for one outing, time for homework for the kids and cook special dishes for the entire family. I reserve the Sunday afternoon for my baking experiments as the kids will be having a nap. Usually bake for thir snacks boxes for the entire week. This kasoori gobi is gorgeous and the idea of roasting them in the oven is really nice.

The truth is, the weekends are so precious. With the kids growing up, there is also their growing load of homeworks, which does take up quite a chunk of the weekend, after which the mind needs a serious break. I am not the hostess with the mostest, but we used to host get togethers quite often , but that has come down considerably.Blogging is a nice respite and like Asha, I too love to go back to my quiet corner, any day,and don't mind being alone.sunitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176577177334401747noreply@blogger.com
