Whether you're enjoying breakfast in bed or going out for a special meal in a restaurant, remember to eat healthy. One rule you absolutely must follow is to never finish up the food your child has left. Eating the food left over on your child’s plate can  lead togaining unnecessary weight.

Enjoy physical activity….enjoy outdoors.

   

Gardening, enjoying the sun, and walking can be great ways to enjoy the outdoors, get physical activity, All you multi-tasking moms will like this!)  So if you’ve taken your child for a karate class, don’t just wait in the lobby. Use this half an hour to take a power walk in the street or in a park close by.

Give stress a break

Stress is inevitable, but there are ways you can minimise it.
Keep expectations reasonable.
Never compare your kids with others.
Quit the guilt. It’s OK to make mistakes. Just do the best you can.

Give yourself a priority. 
It’s important to give time for yourself. After all, only when you’re physically and mentally healthy, so will the family be.Ok don’t place yourself first…but atleast you can place yourself inbetween rather then always placing yourself last especially when eating is concerned.

Ditch the supermom myth and enjoy motherhood. 

The trick is not to expect an A+ in every aspect of your life. You are not taking an exam, and you frankly can't score cent per cent.. It’s a great time full of challenges and triumphs and the most important thing is to enjoy it. It will go away fast and when you look back at this time, you should remember all the laugher and fun you had.

Breathe, chill, relax. Tell yourself you are beautiful, do your best.

Always stock, any one green chutney ( mint or coriander), onion chutney, tamarind chutney & tomato chutney in the fridge. This will be handy as a side dish for tiffins and doubles up as a sandwich spread also. Do not add coconut if you stock like this. For fresh sandwiches, use green chutney with cucumber or tomato slices. For toasted sandwich, use this as a filling with a cheese slice.

Any soft dosai, spread with any one of these these chutneys & folded with a sprinkling of water, makes a lunch box tiffin.
