Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnnah

25th December is the birthday of our natioan's greatest leader ever, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. I wanted to write an article expressing my gratitude to him, for what he has done for us, the Pakistani nation, for Pakistan, but I find myself lacking words.

Quiad-E-Azam

How do you tell a person, whose been dead for almost 68 years, that you absolutly love him for what he did, for what he belived in and accomplished!
He belived in a nation that was at its lowest era, a nation that was lost, there was no one to guide it. The Muslims of the sub-continent were lost and a leader in the form of Quaid-e-Azam was sent to help them and bring about Pakistan. Though it was not his idea, it was his friends, but Jinnah was the one who turned an idea into reality.

The net is overloaded with info about everyone and everything, so I wont be writting a bio about him, I just want to use this platform to tell the world that I am humbled and filled with gratitude for giving me/us Pakistan, for me being a Pakistani, so dear Jinnah thanks a million!

Easy Cupcake Frosting!

Hi there, today I'm going to share a very quick and easy way to frost cupcakes.

My kids would eat anything with chocolate on it and I bet yours would too, as a matter of fact we all would! Eshal loves to bake with me and cup cakes are her fav, the other day we tried a new recipe.
Turned out pretty good, see

I ran out of cup cake liners, so I just oiled the cups and poured batter into them directly and I loved the way they turned out, the bottoms were just the right brown colour, see

Now here is what I do, I spread this chocolate spread on to the cupcakes

Sprinkle on the colorful or chocolate sprinklers, whichever you have or prefer and tada!

I find this easy and quick, and the kids dig these like crazy!

Making cakes and frosting them does not have to mean a whole day spent in the kitchen with tons of dish washing at the end, all those fancy frostings make me shiver!
I need something thats time saving, easy and which would make my kids go wow our mom's the best!

Nap Time VS No-Nap Time

No I have not had a nice day! Incase you are wondering that since this happens to be my third or fourth post this day! :)

Actually I had a pretty rough day, with me wanting a bit more alone time, because I am a little upset since yesterday due to certain events, on the other hand my kids decided that today was the day to get specially difficult to manage and to top all that I decided to try out a routine I had been thinking of which involved having no-nap time.

I am a firm believer of nap time, because although I am past the age to have a proper nap time, I still want one, and I feel refreshed after I have had a rest of 20 to 30 mins after lunch, I tend to nod off when I am putting the kids down to their nap, but recently I have been thinking that instead of that why not just put them to bed early, since I have one school going kid and 2 non schoolers. If I put my eldest to sleep early the twins want to play in the bedroom on the bed with their sister, no matter that she's sound asleep, no matter that she has to get up early to go to school. And they dont understand that when I'm telling them to be extra quiet it does not mean that I'm signalling them to be extra loud!

So today I thought hummph... why not make them all have no nap and then put them all to bed early, say about 8:00. but no mommy how could you! as a result they got hyper, and I mean hyper, not active, there were more shouting and tanturms and frenzied activity than I could put up with and then they absolutly refused to even lie down when I put them to bed at around 9:30 (yes it took longer to get them to finish their milk bottles and then changed)

So I have had my lesson, nap time for me and the kids is definitly a yes in my house! :)
And whats your verdict on Nap time VS No-Nap time?
