The links listed here, will be of products or services I have used in the month gone by, and ofcourse the ones which I would like to tell or talk about.
I could have called this series " These are a few of my favourite things " a song from Sound of Music, but I would rather call it #startmomsfavourites.

It is an honest account of the things I actually utilized together with my toddler or solo. The products would be or are either purchased by me or gifted or won in a Giveaway or contest.

My first blog post, about MARCH favourites 2018, covers every everything I absolutely loved in the month of MARCH this year , whether it was a wellness product or an activity box for toddlers, or even an instagram account or blog, which I loved following or reading.
.
So here are my MARCH monthly favourites
1) Fave Wellness Product for March :
MAMAEARTH Natural Insect Repellent
We love this product...actually swear by it. Where we live, mosquitoes are swarming all year round. This product made our nights easier. I spray this on the curtains and little by the bedside. It works miraculously,where all other mosquito repellants failed. So YAY ! to this great product.
.
Its deet free and safe for babies, but do read more about this product here https://mamaearth.in/product/natural-insect-repellent/
2) Fave Activity Book for March :
Navneet Fun With Craft Book Series 2
These books are pure fun. They introduce Origami and paper folding in such a simple easy manner, even my toddler can do it. Ofcourse with assistance, but once you have created what you have, its sheer delight for both mommy and baby. We have a lot of these books and they are wonderfully priced too, just about less than Rs 50.
3) Fave Outfit and Clothing Brand for March :
LittlePixie Clothing and the Gorgeous Buttercream Dress
So this March was a Big Fat Indian wedding, festivity filled month, and I had to dress my daughter according to a colour decided by the Family. So all of us were wearing Gold, cream or off white.
The first brand that came to my mind for a tailor made outfit for Ovi, was LittlePixie Clothing
I gave them the brief about the kind of dress I was looking for and boy ! They made a rockstar dress
Added bonus, they sent this beautifully designed custom dress, with matchy matchy hair bows and the package was beautifully packed as well.
And so, they are my favourite go to brand now for custom made dresses.
4) Fave Instamom & Blogger for March :
Akshaya Nandakumar, blogs @andhowdoyoudo
My co-host for Wearerealmoms contest in December 2017, a brilliant wordster, mom to Gulabo, she is an Awesome mom I had the privilege of being acquainted with last year.
What I love about her feed and blogs, EVERYTHING. She writes fluidly and touches a chord right where it has to. I follow her stories rigorously. They comprise of school snackbox and tiffin ideas, great food, great tips on pretty much everything .
RECOMMENDED READ : Head over to her blog post linked below, quite an eye opener.
4) Fave MOM hack for March :
So this is not from March, but I want to share this again. As a new mom, I had subscribed to a leading childrens mag, Child India. I have a lot of these magazine issues lying around the house. I wanted to collate the Recipe pages together and also the kids activity pages from a long time. And so I did. Now I have 2 sets of folder, one for Recipes and one for Activity. I keep adding pages from the magazines once Ive gone through them. These folders serve as a Recipe Book and the activity pages folder serves as a good distraction for my toddler whenever needed. Best from Waste I'd say ! What do you think ?
These are my MARCH favourites, do check them out for yourself too and follow
