Mama Earth Baby Products "A Trustworthy Brand by a parent, For a Parent"

Being a parent is feeling that is unimaginable precious. It is like loving somebody else wholeheartedly and unconditionally for eternity. It is also believed that a real parent is someone who always put his child above than their own needs and desires. Of course, we all love to celebrate the divine spirit of parenthood every day, but on  the practical side, parenting is the most challenging and daunting too.

For me, it had been the most hilarious journey so far. I have two kids; one is almost 8 and is almost 5. During these 8 years of the beautiful journey, I had learnt a lot not only as a parent but as an individual too. Being conscious (and googled mom, yes I love to research a lot regarding any parenting issue) I had always tried to provide the best care for my two cute dolls. I always try to be extra vigilant regarding their health, safety, education, habit formations…and their overall well-being and development. 

Even whenever I buy any product for them, I always want to make sure that it is completely safe for them.  While in spite of having this self-aware attitude for my kids, I still had a confession to share with you?  Even though, being tagged as an “over conscious mom”, I had never checked the ingredients in baby products except for looking on a tag “safe for babies” and “not- comedogenic”? And I also believed that most of the parents are doing the same thing unconsciously.

But did you know that most baby products be it lotions or shampoos contained toxins that have been proven to be harmful to children? And this shocking truth had been realised by the Ghazal and Varun when they become the first-time parent.

How this  Was happened?

This journey had begun, when Ghazal and Varun were expecting their first child. Like all other parents, they want everything for their little one had to be safe, kosher and googled. It was the genuine desire to provide the best for their cute bambino. During this journey, they had done all possible research and they were shocked to see that most of the baby products be it the lotion or shampoo contained toxins which have proven to be harmful to the little one. And they get an instant anxiety not only for their little one but also for all the little ones that they knew in their friend circle.
Then they had decided to do something about it and create the product which was completely safe and certified toxin free.  They want to create a brand that is truly by a parent, for the parent. A brand which develops products from world class research and attempts to solve every little problem that we as a parent face. With the aim of making products which are mum-baby friendly, toxin-free, meet stringent international standards and basically ultra-awesome….and by intriguing all these awesome qualities a great brand for baby products “Mama earth” has born.

Is not it inspiring? I feel great to know that now; we have a brand which is every parent’s friend. A brand that understand our issues and tries hard to resolve them. It is a brand that every parent like you and me can trust, a brand which intends to make lives of mums and expectant mums better and beautiful. A brand which welcomes all our babies to a healthy and a safe world.
Apart from these, the one thing that I had realised that make these products instantly trustworthy and acceptable, is a unique feature of “only Madesafe certified brand in Asia”

Made safe certified brand in Asia

I know you would love to know what it means? It means that they make sure; their products go through all the required tests and meet the safety standards that we as a parent expect. They have a stringent set of super safe standards and literally made products with safe ingredients that are not known or suspected to cause human health or environmental harm. It is the first nontoxic certification to apply to products we use every day. So that for the first time, we can find things that are safe to use on our body, with our families and in our homes.

 As they explained in detail “Certified products are made without known behavioural toxins, carcinogens, developmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, fire retardants, GMOs, heavy toxins, neurotoxins, toxic solvents, or harmful VOCs. And then goes above and beyond ingredients have been further examined by a chemist for bioaccumulation, persistence and general and aquatic toxicity, making it the leading standard in the country “ . In short, we can finally trust that products are made without toxic chemicals known to harm our earth.

I am sure you are getting an immense sense of satisfaction and relaxation after knowing these facts. And it should be, because “our kids are our first priority, and of course, we want everything best for them”.

Range of products

Fortunately, right now mama earth has wide range of safe products that includes:
  • ·         Mineral based sunscreen for babies
  • ·         Soothing massage oil for babies
  • ·         Natural insect repellent
  • ·         Diaper rash creams
  • ·         Moisturisers

Why I am a relaxed mommy....now?

Parenthood is an adventurous journey and being a parent comes with a multitude of responsibilities and duties. Of course, we all want to grow our children as a strong, healthy and happy individual. From the moment our child is born, it is our duty to take care of his every need.

Usually, the journey of motherhood is filled with different emotions and when I had started my parenting journey as a first-time mom (seven years ago); I was in a continuous cycle of learning. I want to learn each aspect of motherhood with perfection. I want to enjoy each moment of this most beautiful phase of any woman's life. And during these 7 years of the journey and being a mom of two I had observed that it is a challenging journey. From routine care to good habit formations each step requires so much of patience and effort.

Creative development is the most integral part of childhood phase. Creativity in children can be developed by engaging them in activities that enable them to share their thoughts and feelings. Creativity also fosters mental and emotional growth in children.



 Reading, writing, and crafting are some easiest way to explore creativity and imagination power in kids.and we love reading,


We love crafting,


We love cooking,


We love to surf latest technologies,


We all moms love our duties. And as a conscious mom, I also had some fixed routine for kids. These are:
  • A regular visit to the library for picking good and age appropriate books for kids. Although I love to do that but it requires time and proper selection process, because one of the daughters is 7 and one are 4 years old. Both have different interest too.
  • Searching a craft theme to raise their creative quotient and also as a boredom buster crafting helps me a lot to keep them engage in a creative way. But again it requires lots of time, to search a theme and then gather or shop all crafting materials.
  • Sometimes, we all love cooking with our kids. It is the best way to teach them simple recipes and spend some quality together. But kids are fussy eaters; it is always challenging to search kid friendly recipes that they really love.
  • We lived in a high- tech world. And it is very important to keep updated with the latest technologies. Nowadays, verities of kids app are available, but to search out a perfect one that is best for us is a definitely a tough task.

And as a mom on duty, I am always busy with completing my all duties and responsibilities .Theoretically, everything seems pretty and simple, but practical life is little different and difficult. Apart from kids care, we also had tons of another household task, other social, and personal and profession responsibilities and maintain a healthy balance between them is not an easy thing.

From the last few days, I was feeling pressurizing with the overload of responsibilities. I was feeling tired and frustrated. And this hectic schedule was also affecting my mother responsibilities too. I was not able to make the regular visit to the library. Crafting and other creative activities are also on a dropping side. I was feeling a little sad and disappointed. But like "Every problem has a solution". I also got a perfect solution for my all problem. It is a treasure box "Indianmomsconnect treasure box". The box is really a treasure in the true sense. It has two options,

  • Under the Imli (for age 2-4 year)
  •  Under the Banyan (for age 4-7 year)

The box has 4 items:

  • A handpicked Indian children's book (very good and age appropriate)
  • A specific designed related activity and its required item
  • An age appropriate App suggestion
  • A kid-friendly recipe suggestion

There are several benefits of IMC treasure box:

  • It is a perfect combination of all creative activities which we love to do with our kids.
  • It is a time consuming too. Most of the moms (like me) find it difficult to manage all things together. IMC treasure box will help you in that aspect.
  • Exceptional quality, it will make a reader out of a child and give the fight to his or her imagination. The stuff which is filled in it is personally recommended by moms and crafts are created by moms.
  • It can be received every month.
  •  It is available at an affordable price.  It's shipping available in both India and USA.

I think it is a wonderful way to teach your child to read craft and have fun while doing all this.  and it is the reason why I am a relaxed mommy, now. So just get ready to open that treasure box and get the best treasure of all. Here is the link by using that you can subscribe to IMC treasure box.

Holi is coming. festival of color.....festival of happiness.it is celebrated on the day of full moon in the hindu month of phalguna. it is the time when nature shakes off the cold winter and welcome the beauty of spring.
It is primarily celebrated in India, Nepal and other regions of world with significant Hindu population. Also known as symbol of victory of good over evil. this is a great time when all family and friends meet with each other and enjoy the festival with fun and masti. it is a great stress buster for kids too (because exam session is on during these days...)
So these are some pretty good reasons that why we wait for this festival whole year and want to enjoy festivities of this vibrant and colorful festival. this year why not give a new twist to this festival...A holy twist to make it more memorable. How...let's explore?

Do not forget to share mythological story with kids- Although Holi is renowned for its spirit for fun and enjoy, but at the same time it has a great mythological importance too. we all know about "Bhakat prahlad and Holika. A demon king Hiranykashyap demands that every one should worship only him and when his own son Prahlad (who was a true devotee of lard Vishnu) was disagree, he tried to kill him by various method and f has called his devil sister Holika (she was blessing that she could not burnt in fire) who tried to burn Prahlad by taking him in her lap. but god has saved him from fire and Holika burnt in fire and turn in to ashes. And in the memory of this great mythological event we celebrate Holi eachyear. so just make your kids to introduce our ancient mythology. festivals are great time when we can do that and teach them moral values of our ancestors.

Activity- planning a Holi party. why not encourage your kids to perform a drama on mythological history of Holi. apart from amusement and entertainment they will learn a lot and this Holi will be their most memorable one.

Second history- is based on love of lord Radha- Krishna. it is believed that Krishna was jealous of fair comlexion of Radha, so applied color on her face making her one  like himself.

Activity- A good dance performance on any Radha-krishna song will be indelible. ( are ja re hat natkhat will be best song that can create frolic and antic touch to your party)

2- Try to play Dry Holi with natural and homemade colors- Although Holi is famous for wet colors and fun with water balloons, but this year try to save water and play dry Holi with homemade colors.
mixed corn starch or white flour with desirable food color can be a good option. other natural substance that can be used to make homemade natural color are-

Green color- heena powder
Red color- red sandalwood powder
Yellow color- mixed besan with turmeric powder
Brown color- coffee powder
These all may be an ideal substitute for artificial and chemical rich colors, that can cause potential hazard to our health.

3. Be creative and crafty- Enjoy the pleasure of festival with creativity. explore your imagination and try some colorful simple crafts to set the good mood. we had already started pre- holi crafts. here i am sharing two of them.kids love colors and my daughters too. so first craft we had selected is-

-Holi card-
Material needed- construction paper, scissor and paint colors.
Method- 1. cut the paper in desirable shape and design a nice border on it.
2- dip your child's hand in paint and make a hand print.


3- Write down "Happy Holi" message and decorate it with other decorative matreial.




Spring welcome flower art- another very simple activity to explain the kids about whether change. we can also explain them about spring and flower blossoming.

material needed- construction paper, tissue paper, yarn or thread, glue, colors,

Method- cut the tissue paper in small square shape. you may keep it white or color with any color. we used yellow color.

2. Draw a tree with branches in sheet.
3- Glue a yarn at the place of branches and stem or color it with brown color.
4- Scramble tissue paper and glue it like flower.

5- Write down the message of " Welcome spring". your simple spring welcome flower art is ready.

4- Indulge in healthy snacks and give a healthy twist to your favourite recipes.
1.Kids love idli. Try this festival season multicolour idli. Use routine idli batter and make it colourful by using different colour puree (for ex- use beetroot for pink, carrot for orange and spinach for green puree) mixed it with idli batter and steam it like routine idli. Your Holi especial healthy colourful snack is ready
2. Puri and namakpare- are routine dishes for Holi. Make a healthy twist by using different puree. My kids love beet root puri. A healthy and colourful version of simple dish.
3. Vegetable and fruit taster plater- usually kids do not like fruits and vegetables. Arrange a platter of different fruits and vegetables (try to make plater attractive and colourful) and asked them to taste it.
So these are my plans to celebrate Holi in Holy style this year. What is yours? Do not forget to share.

How to make kids independent

Being independent is a great feeling and as an adult we all enjoy it, but when it comes to teach this good habit to kids, it is somewhat difficult. It requires some practice and patience. There are two obstacles one from parent side, when they need to finish a task in particular time, they do not show confidence in kids and finish it by themselves. On practical aspect it is not too bad. Second when kids do not show any interest in doing any task independently because of laziness or they think that my dad or mom will do this.

Here are some simple methods for solving this problem.
Start from very simple task and then shift to complex- we need to start from very simple and basic task. Before assign them any task explain them importance of independent work in life and how this habit will help them in future? Then explain the detail and proper way and method of any task, even when task is very simple also. By this way they will get an interest in task and would be able to that independently. Proper explanation is the best way to make kids convinced for anything. I have tried this on my kids often with good result. Some good examples of simple tasks are-
·         Dress up by themselves and after changing put their clothes at proper place.
·         Put on shoes and socks by them and put them at shoe rack.
·         Prepare backpack at night before school and put all school stuffs are at proper place.
·         Comb hairs, brush teeth, get ready for school are some simple task that can be a good start for making kids independent.
Shift from simple to complex task- it will be second step. For more complex task like clean-up of room or setting a dinner table or cook a simple meal encourage them for start and then told that I will help you for complete it. Most of the kids do not show any interest to complete it, and then use your all magic words, explain them importance of clean up, teach all simple steps to complete a complex task. We can use an interesting fact or a story about that task, but help is a must part of any complex task. We need to repeat this process so many times until they get habitual to it.
Involvement activities- these activities are a great way for starting any task independently. For ex. To plant a tree in backyard, take help of your little one. To raise their interest explain them whole process. By this way they will get the knowledge of whole process and would be able to that kind of tasks independently with less effort. Some good examples of involvement activities are arrange a salad plate, rinse plates, arrange wardrobe.
Pretend activities – these are a good method for repeating steps of task. For ex. prepare a doll for school or for doctor visit. By doing this kids will learn all steps of this routine task and would be able to do that more independently in future.
Rewarding- rewarding and praise is must for all good behaviour and for completing any task. It will encourage them and build a good level of self confidence in them. We can make a behaviour and task chart for week to evaluate their performance.
Be rigid and take control- when they do not listen or do not show any interest for completing task independently, be rigid and take control and as a consequence we can take their privilege like playing video game for few days.

So just follow these simple steps and repeat it. Within few days you would be able to achieve your goal and your kids will be more independent and happier too.
