For all those who know me- “hello again ” and for those who don’t know me-“ Hi, I am Saumya Shiohare, a thirty something wife, mom, blogger and an ex-property manager!” I have been married for 13 years now, been a mom for almost 9 years and been a blogger for 5 years. I work 7 days a week, 26 hours a day ( if that is considered legit ). My days are crazy, I am always hustling to get things in order, but I love how my days are, after all ” We don’t grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges“……right?
Well, I am not here to talk about the everyday struggles I face as a mom/blogger, I am here to share ten random things about me that you all did not know.
1) I was the head girl of my school in 10th grade and I took my responsibilities pretty serious. I still have some authoritativeness left in me from that position and my sisters would call me ‘Hitler.’
2) I was an academically bright student and wanted to add the IIT’an feather to my cap. I even dropped a year after high school to retake the IIT-JEE. But I guess, physics never liked me…

3) I am a cleanliness-freak, I like my house spic and span and that pretty much accounts for the extra 2 hours in my day ( 24+2=26).
4) I am scared of all reptiles, lizards being my biggest nightmare. I refuse to enter a room if I spy a lizard by any chance ( mostly in India ).
5) I hate the cold weather and too much heat stresses both me and my tresses out. Fall is my favorite weather, merely cuz I love my jackets.
6) Indo-chinese used to be my favorite cuisine back in India, but after a few major unappetizing culinary experiences here in US, I was forced to change my palate.
7) Post-pregnancy, my carpel-tunnel became worse and now I can’t sleep or cook without my wrist-support band. My right hand gets numb and my middle and ring finger become rock-hard to the extent that I feel like chopping them off- no kidding! But, thanks to yoga things are getting back on track with the numbness.
8) I have an affinity for blue and anyone who walks into my house will guess that right away. There is a blue couch, blue cushions, blue vases, blue linen, blue dinnerware, blue mats, blue everything. My husband is happy cuz at least it’s not PINK…..
9) I don’t drink coffee, disregard all the coffee photos I post, it is either hubby’s or just borrowed from a friend. Coffee makes me dizzy and sometimes even gives me a headache. Now that explains why I am always running low on energy.
10) Call it a pet-peeve but I have a habit of postponing things. I will keep postponing things, until there is an urgency and I have no option than to get it done. Don’t believe it ??? Cue my walk-in closet designer hunt that I started two years ago, it still continues cuz I didn’t reach out to many custom-closet-design companies. I am still living out of boxes and it has been three years we moved into this house.

Lovely to know more about the woman behind a blog!
So fun to learn more about you! You part about having everything blue in your house made me laugh because I have nothing blue in my house! Not that I don’t like the color blue, I just opt for other colors in home decor. Your dress and boots are so cute, by the way!

A beautiful dress and love the boots! It's so nice to learn more about people behind blogs. I definitely have the "postponing things" in common with you!
Thanks for sharing!

I'm a terrible procrastinator too – I blame it on trying to do too many things at once instead of concentrating on one at a time. I love your dress and boots, fab colour combination!

What a fun post! It's always so cool to learn about folks you admire. 🙂 I am sorry to hear about your carpal tunnel. I hope it gets better and sounds like yoga is helping a bit. I, too, am a procrastinator though I am in denial!
