Forever Summer

Think about something or someplace that makes you happy. For me it's the sensations of summer. 

Bright, colorful, warm, energetic and lively. 

This is just what I felt upon entering the Butterfly Room at the National Museum of Natural History with my toddler. Here, it's Forever Summer. At mirasa we are all about color, texture, warmth, imagination and sensory stimulation. 

We create so you can experience.

A New Balance

It will be five years for mirasa on January 1st 2015 and sixteen months for #myakiraboy. This journey has been full of surprises, twists and turns. Exploring a new balance between work and my akira boy almost every week as this toddler realizes his new abilities and explores his new found world.

Yes, a single change can topple the week; And a single hug from this little fellow can bring an overload of emotion. This is the month of reflection and gratitude. So a huge thanks to all of you for coming to mirasa for a special something for the little ones in your life.

The Holidays bring us together. It's the time of giving and loving. Wishing you all a wonderful season !

mother's day

Cloud Gazing: On our way back from LA.
Monday May 12th 2014

Growing up in India we never dedicated a day to thank our mothers. It was my first mother's day as a mother and daughter as my mother was with us this year. It was in a way like any other day with one exception.  Akira had just started saying "ma, ma, maaamme" early Saturday morning. I'm not sure if he has the ability to associate these words or if they are just his first sounds. Does it matter?

Being a mom is like being on an adventure everyday. I can admit without hesitation that I missed my old life. Who wouldn't? All that sleep and time! I remember feeling caught between my two lives. Motherhood for me has been a metamorphosis connecting me to a new self. 

Akira is my light.
