Happy Gurpurab ✨🙏✨

Sharing with my boys the same values Guru Nanak Dev Ji shared with the world — to live with truth in their hearts, kindness in their words, and pride in their Sikhi.

Kirat Karo. Naam Japo. Vand Chhako.
Work honestly. Remember God. Share what you have.
The timeless path Guru Nanak Dev Ji showed us still lights the way. 🪯

Can’t believe my baby Jay is 17! From Thomas the Train tracks on the living room floor to basketball dreams that started before you could even dribble — every stage with you has been pure joy ❤️ From jumping on the beach to dancing to Bhangra beats, you’ve brought energy, laughter, and love wherever you go. You’ve grown into such a thoughtful, grounded, and driven young man. Keep your faith strong, your hustle steady, and your smile bright ✨ Happy Birthday 🎉.
Love you so much kid!
May Waheguru bless you with endless happiness and success always 🙏✨

21 years, 2 boys, and somehow he still hasn’t figured out that I’m always right.

From our Anand Karaj to raising 2 Singh’s —21 years of love, laughter, and Waheguru’s blessings 🙏✨

Back-to-school is officially here.
I’m starting my 9th year teaching at SHU—which basically makes me old enough to be mistaken for the furniture.

Jay’s in 11th grade, trying to find his way on the road with his permit… when he still can’t find his clothes in that messy room.









(the funny kind 😉)

And Shaan? He’s off to 4th grade, already running the house like he’s the principal.

So here we go again—lesson plans, carpools, and laundry piles that may or may not survive the year.

👉 Tell me—whose back-to-school chaos is bigger this year: the kids’ or yours?

✨ Re-introduction time ✨
Hi, I’m Sheena 👋 A mom of two boys (16 & 10) just trying to figure out life, hormones, and how not to gain 7 lbs every time I go on vacation 🍹🌮 (yes, Mexico…I’m looking at you).

I’m also a Regional Director in Hand Therapy and a Certified Hand Therapist (OT, CHT). For over 20 years, I’ve been helping people recover function and get stronger 💪—and now I’m applying that same knowledge of rehab, recovery, and science-backed strategies to my own journey.

My focus has shifted 👉 creating meals that actually work with my changing hormones instead of against them. Think: flavorful, realistic, and still family-friendly (because my boys eat like athletes 🏀💪).

If you’re also navigating hormones, tired of bland “diet food,” and want weekly meal plans that taste amazing but still support weight loss, you’re in the right place.

Here’s to hormone hacks, real food, and laughing our way through the midlife glow-up ✨

My sweet, cuddly (and stubborn 😅) Shaan is 10 today! 💙 Double digits already — how did that happen so fast? You keep me on my toes every single day with your endless questions, debates, and strong opinions (future lawyer maybe? 🤷🏽‍♀️). But behind that determined spirit is a kind, curious, and thoughtful heart.

Being your mom is the greatest challenge and the biggest joy — I wouldn’t trade it for anything. You are truly one of a kind, and I’m so proud of the boy you are becoming. Here’s to a year full of growth, laughter, and maybe just a little less arguing! 😂💫

Today we reflect on the spirit of courage, equality, and unity — the values Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave us with the creation of the Khalsa. Vaisakhi isn’t just a celebration — it’s a reminder to live with integrity, stand up for what’s right, and stay grounded in seva and simran.

Grateful for the path, the teachings, and the strength our faith gives us every day.

Wishing you peace, purpose, and love as we step into this new year together. 🙏✨

Another year around the ☀️, and this one has been all about growth, gratitude, and finding balance in the chaos. ✨ As a mom, a professional, and someone always trying to do it all, I’ve learned that life is a constant juggling act—kids, work, and everything in between. Some days I thrive; some days I survive—and that’s okay.

My kids remind me daily why I keep pushing forward, and they’ve taught me the true meaning of unconditional love and resilience. Here’s to celebrating progress over perfection, embracing the little joys, and continuing this beautiful, messy journey. If you’re navigating life with a full plate and an open heart, we’re in this together. 💖

Happy Birthday to ME 🎉

Celebrating my boys’ first Lohri will always hold a special place in my heart. 🪵🔥 It was a day filled with love, laughter, and the warmth of family, as we honored this beautiful tradition in our own way. From throwing popcorn into the fireplace, sharing gajak and dancing to Bhangra , we made sure their first Lohri was unforgettable.

Lohri is about togetherness, gratitude, and welcoming abundance—and it’s even more special as I see these values grow in my little ones. 💛 Here’s to dancing to dhol beats, savoring gajak, and building beautiful moments year after year.

It was more than just a celebration—it was about passing down our heritage and showing them the joy of keeping our culture alive, even far from home. 💛

Happy Lohri to all celebrating! May this festival bring your family endless blessings, happiness, and togetherness. 🪔✨
