For all those who know me- "I feel blessed" and for those who don't know me-" Hi, I am Saumya Shiohare, a thirty something wife, mom, blogger and a property manager!" I have been married for 12 years, been a mom for 8 years, been a blogger for 5 years and this year marks my 3rd year as a property manager. 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 grown when we face challenges"......right?
Well, I am not here to talk about the everyday struggles I face as a mom/blogger, you could read about those HERE, 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.
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)
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 me and my tresses out. Fall is my favorite weather.
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 likes.
7) Post-pregnancy, my carpel-tunnel became worse and now I can't sleep or cook without my 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!
8) I have an affinity for the color blue and anyone who walks into my house will tell right away. There is 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. 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 last summer, still continues coz I didn't reach out to many, and I am still living out of boxes, been two years we moved into this house.
These are just some of the random things about me, check out the full list HERE.
