Summer 2022

It’s been such a fun few weeks. We got back from our trip to the bay on Monday and Neeru flew in with the kids to LA on wed! Nikki joined a day later. This trip was a big WIN for our family. Aanika, Naya and Naveen coexisted so beautifully. They played all day saturday, took a dip in the pool, played marbles, ate dinner together and watched a movie together. It was like magic. Neera and I got to have quality sister time, sunning and doing usual LA girl poolside silliness while everyone enjoyed themselves! YES! #happyheartsallaround read more
