Trick or Treat...It's all about 'Candy'...:)

Yes, for our home, Halloween is a festival for kids...
 for our little monsters :)

Which means Treats and Treats and not Tricks!

Oh yes, there must be some healthier options 

for the Halloween Treats.

[Dried apricot, cashew, pistachio and almond
with choco crunch, brown bread and chocolate spread] 


So, when the Hell is empty
and all the cute, little devils are here...

The little wicked witch
can easily be bribed 
with  chocolate and cupcakes...:)

"When witches go riding
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers
'tis near Halloween"

Celebrating The Simple Joys of Life

                      [A serene meditation corner at home ]

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They make the best of everything they have." - unknown

So simple and so true..isn't it ? We have realised it many a times in our lives but there is no harm to say it again...

This is my first post after a good three months break from this blog. My hands are tied up with some other projects, so the long silence.
Thanks once again to all my beautiful readers and followers for their unconditional love and tremendous support. 

Have a lovely weekend folks :)
