Dress from Dillard's, Outfits from Beginning Boutique, and other outfits
Hi all, I really liked this dress from dillards.com..
These are from Beginning Boutique.
This is from walmart. These pants can go well with a hoodie for a casual outing.
once while studying for MA I participated in a fashion show. This outfit reminded me of the outfit I wore for that. Not sure where this outfit is from and I did not wear so much jewelry.
I found these dresses in etsy.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Parenting Advice
Parenting Advice: Check your kid's school work
Every day your child goes to school lugging a backpack.
They have folders, papers, artwork etc in their backpack.
They come back and bring stuff they have done in school.
If we don't look through the back pack and look at the papers the art work they do we will not know what is going on in their lives.
My parents did a great thing for me because they looked at my note books.
My parents moved from a state in India called Maharashtra to a state called Kerala where my parents are originally from.
My parents were both born in Kerala while I was not.
After I finished second grade in a school in Rasayani we moved to Kerala and joined St. Teresa's as a third grader.
Malayalam is the language of the state of Kerala and Marathi is the language of Maharashtra.
When we reached Kerala I knew very little malayalam.
In the school I studied I joined English medium and could learn all subjects in English but had Malayalam as my first language.
The syllabus followed by St. Teresa's had very high standard for malayalam.
In third grade the teacher wrote entire questions and answers on the black board.
We were to copy it into our notebooks.
I did not know to write malayalam.
I struggled to form the alphabets into my notebook.
I did not know to tell the teacher.
The kids around me were happily and furiously writing along.
Their pages were full of neatly written malayalam sentences questions and answers.
My parents may have checked my book and saw I had only written a few alphabets in the top of the page and nothing else.
The next thing I know is my parents talking to the principal, the class teacher and finally I had to go to 1st grade during malayalam period.
I a third grader sat with first graders and learned malayalam alphabets.
I learned fast and next year had no problem in studying fourth grade malayalam.
I did not have to work through second or third grade again.
This tells us the importance of parents looking through kids school work.
Kids are not always able to articulate the problems they face.
If parents look through the kids school books and stay involved it is helpful.

Two Kinder Joys
Hi all, Today I bought two kinder joys. I am planning to collect the toys inside them. I can give it to some relatives. Do you like kinder joy?
Hairbands
Here are some hairband hairstyles. Hairbands were common in my childhood amongst children.
Do you like wearing hairbands? If you wear a hairband in the same color as your outfit it is so cute.

Plain Tees
Do you like the song if you are happy and you know it clap your hands? I have been listening to this song and watching a few kids dance to this song in a video. The kids in the video are wearing mostly T shirts in pastel colors and no pictures or patterns in them. I thought that looked nice. So I searched for such Tees and found them from Walmart, Old Navy, Kohls, etc. Hope you have a great day!
