A little escape while still staying close to home, we had a wonderful time last weekend at @lapitahoteldubai with the family ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป 

Our first resort stay with our little baby who is now 2 months old ๐Ÿฅฐ Even when I needed to be up all night rocking him to sleep, at least it was with a beautiful view! ๐Ÿคญ๐ŸŒด

The breakfast was also exciting, everything youโ€™d find in a good hotel breakfast + the presentation was beautifully done ๐Ÿฅž๐Ÿณ

โ€œNew year, new meโ€ got a bit too real this year ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿผ

Itโ€™s been two weeks since I became a mommy and my brain chemistry is forever altered ๐Ÿ’—

Our hearts are overflowing with love and joy for this tiny little miracle we have been blessed with Alhamdulillah ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป 

A little blue in my strawberry pink ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿป 

I pray that every person that yearns for their little angel, be blessed with one soon ๐Ÿ’—

Being a mother has undoubtedly been the most challenging thing Iโ€™ve felt mentally, emotionally and physically. It takes real strength to be one and all I can say is that my respect for mothers everywhere has multiplied after experiencing motherhood myself ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

It has also been the most beautiful, rewarding experience and I canโ€™t wait to learn and grow with this little man iA ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฅฐ

โ€œMay Allah bless you in His gift to you, may you give thanks to the giver of this gift, may the child reach the maturity of years, and may you be granted its righteousness.โ€ Ameen

Loved my time at the serene ambiance of @champacabooks library, bookstore and cafeโ€ฆ a hidden paradise for book lovers in Bangalore ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ 

I am currently travelling around Karnataka-India and this was a great much needed pause to relax and enjoy some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of the city ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป 

They also have a small dedicated childrenโ€™s library ๐Ÿ“š 

Surrounded by greenery and wooden aesthetics, this spot has a great vibe and you can easily spend a good couple hours here! ๐Ÿ’—
