The Krafty Mommy

Hey, y'all!  Back to the blog after a while!  What gets me here almost every time is the need to share, or just record my feelings, my experiences and my thought process. Obviously, I could do that in a diary.  So why here?  Well, because in life we're not alone. We all have our separate journeys per se. But we cross paths with each other as we go. So the intention of writing a journal blog is to write, for clarity, of though ts, of life. And while at it, putting it out there for whoever may be interested. Maybe just to feel that they are not alone. For inspiration. For collaboration. Because there may be others in the same boat as me. Those who may be struggling worse than me, and those that may have found the strategies (or the oars) to paddle through this journey better.   And also because I am from that generation where typing comes easier than writing with pen on paper due to our day jobs.  😉 More often than not, these will be ramblings, thoughts...

 HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY AMAN! Our YES day! I am so very blessed to be married to this fabulous man. The best partner and father I could have wished for! It shows how much I love you if I agreed to come to GC with you and be on crazy rollercoasters with you (even though I don't enjoy them as much as you, lol)!  Here's Day 2, probably the most happening day on our trip. Read through to get to the vLog. We woke up and realised the views were even more breath-taking than we believed at night. We all woke up early and just sat there soaking in the views. Then we did a little celebration for breakfast for Aman. And this was our first day to avail our 3-day pass to Dreamworld/Whitewater World, and since the waterpark is only open Thursday to Sunday, our only day to be at the waterpark. SO we went to Whitewater World and enjoyed only about an hour of actually using the attractions when the weather turned for the worse and thunderstorms and lightening struck. So the rides and slides were ...

For the past year and a quarter we've been restricted and actually locked-down in our countries, states and homes, courtesy Covid-19. So this March, for my dear husband Aman's FORTIETH, we finally managed to get away. To Gold Coast, probably his favourite destination, for the thrill of the amusement parks!  The most exciting bit for me was getting on the airplane and flying high! Am obviously still eagerly awaiting being on an airplane home to mum and dad in India. But this was liberating and such an exciting experience nonetheless.  We left from Melbourne on the evening of Saturday, 20th March 2021 and returned on the night of Wednesday, 24th March 2021. I've tried to log all the 5 days of the trip to share our experience with family and friends. So watch out for all the individual Day Vlogs and let us know if you liked them. The first in the series is of course DAY 1 - the day we flew from Melbourne to Gold Coast Airport (Coolangatta), checked into our accommodation and s...
