This is a family favorite recipe that is made & enjoyed week after week. We pick up fresh faro island salmon from the fish monger every week and it is air fried with the sweet chili marinade and served with different sides weekly. Normally we have it with rice, veggies, salad & when mango is in season…I always love making a simple salsa to kick it up a notch....

Happy Holidays from our family to yours ✨💫✨

Finally! A book & stuffy that my boy LOVES!
He can truly relate to this book about a Sikh boy that wears a patka, named Harman. Harman deals with adversity & gets made fun of for looking different. Friendship, support and unity helps resolve the bullying.
This little stuffy & book is the perfect “show and tell” item to take to school.
Shaan read it to his class (his teacher sent me the 1st pic in post) & he will soon be sharing it with his entire school.
Thank you, for writing this amazing book 🩷

My 2023 word is BALANCE

For some people, this is easy to achieve and there was a time that I thought I maintained a good balance with all the roles I have.
Toward the end of 2022, I was suffering from burnout. I did not have the emotional and mental capacity to give work or life the attention that it deserved.

I have always been an over-achiever and need to learn to say “NO” to the distractions and time wasters in my life.

How am I going to BALANCE 2023 as a working mom in a Management role?

☑️Setting Boundaries. Saying “NO” or finding alternatives

☑️Letting go of my Mom Guilt
I am NOT perfect

☑️STOP Multitasking
Begin Monotasking and being more present during whatever I’m doing

☑️Creating time for ME
Movement, Healthy Foods and Creating Content

☑️Prioritizing
Avoiding distractions and time-wasters

☑️Time Saving Hacks

Wishing You & Yours Peace, Love & Happiness this New Year! 🥂

“Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.” Oprah Winfrey

Happy Thanksgiving!
From our boys: “Happy Thanksgiving, we are grateful for all that you do”
(they may have been coached to say that. I’ll follow up next year to see if they remember) 🍁🦃🍁
