Spin a tale around the sleeping baby - 24

Image
Kids like fantasy --- yes, my little Samyu loves them too... And so I decided to tell her one little tale by choosing a hyperbolic figure of speech, that explains impossibility. And it is “ When Pigs Fly” . The story is simply structured to develop positive thinking when someone throws a totally impossible challenge before you. In our little tale, my sleeping baby “Saanvi”, displays enough zeal to make the most unlikely thing work in her way. As a part of my sleeping baby series, I generally imagine and make one picture, but for this I imagined every single bit of the story, resulting in something like this👇. "When Pigs Can Fly!!!" Now I started spinning a tale around my sleeping Saanvi for my little Samyu, which went like this... Title of the story :  When pigs 🐷 fly!!! Characters: Baby girl👶, Daddy👱‍♂️, piggies 🐷, Captain Ted 🐻 Story:               Once upon a time, there lived a little baby girl👧. She is all bubbly and had so many friends. She lo

URBY's Product Review Coupled With A Tale Around The Sleeping Baby

I recently received a beautiful black box, within which I found a jute pouch. I was eager and so I quickly pulled the strings to open it and found out a very finely made passport holder with my very name engraved on it.  I felt a sense of fineness and could feel the quality of leather as I was holding this reddish brown premium beauty in my hands. It was sent to me from a friend from Urby .  The name might seem new but believe me, the product is just too good and can go it par with any huge brands.  This passport holder has--- Enough place to put up about 4 cards, in an easily accessible manner.  It is, of course, an exact fit for a 36-  page passport. However, an increase by another inch or two can make it wonderful even for a 60-page passport. Apart from the internal slots, there is also an external back slot to put up currency for instant access.  The idea of making it personalized by engraving a name pretty beautifully makes it a wonderful gifting optio

"A dream doesn't have an expiration date."                          I believe in this quote as dreaming can give wings to ones deep buried imaginative thi nking, and at times give birth to the goals.  A dream can become a goal, a goal broken into steps can become a plan and a plan coupled with action makes your dream come true. And here is my imagination as my little baby doll finds her dreams...       After having a small break, I started working again on my sleeping baby series. And as  I dress up my baby doll Saanvi (Yes now she got a name!!!), I suddenly remembered a small story my grandma told me when I was a child. So like always I started sharing it with my Samyu and here it is. Read along and enjoy our small story around my Sleeping baby, Saanvitha. Title of the Story: The daydreaming baby Milkmaid...

  Since the past few days, I was talking about things like patience, perseverance, kindness and more such important traits that I wish to inculcate in my little ones through my little moral stories, which I spun around my sleeping baby. Today is no different. So, I thought I will help my little Samyu learn the most mesmerizing magic word - “ THANK YOU .” For this, I choose the week after Thanksgiving day, as she told me about thanking her teachers and support staff back at her school by giving some flowers and cards. So, I quickly prepared the background for my sleeping baby, who eventually got up during our photo shoot to enjoy a sumptuous Thanksgiving meal, with her good friend the Minnie Mouse.           After clicking a few adorable sleeping baby pictures I along with my little Samyu started spinning a small story, which ended up like this. Title of the story: Being Thankful Characters:  The little baby, Minnie Mouse, little girl, mother. Story
