About Me
Hi! My name is Myranda Thapa. I was born and raised in Ponchatoula (small town), Louisiana, where the sweet sweet strawberries grow, and home to the Strawberry Festival. I went to Ponchatoula High School. I attended Southeastern Louisiana University (SLU) and received my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. I then attended Louisiana State University (LSU) Health Sciences Center and received my Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Laboratory Sciences. I now work as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist. My Husband, Saroj Thapa was born in a small village in Pokhara, Nepal. He came to Louisiana to attend Southeastern Louisiana University (SLU) and received his Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. This is where we met and fell in love. Saroj is now attending Georgia Tech University to earn his Master’s degree in Data Analytics. He is currently working as an Application Developer.
We were Married in 2015. Since then we have been working, dreaming of owning a home, settling down, and having a baby. Our dreams started coming true in 2020 when we bought our home. After settling in, we decided in 2021 to start working on our dream of having a baby. We had our beautiful son on April 13th 2022. We named him Aryi.
Parenting is Hard! It is terrifying and exhausting. But, it is also rewarding, exciting, and fun. I am passionate about discovering magic in playing with my baby and nurturing his development. From the latest toys that engage a baby’s curiosity to age-appropriate learning activities, I will be sharing recommendations based on my experience to make each playtime a memorable and educational experience for both you and your little ones.
At the heart of my blog, I also seek to raise awareness about preeclampsia and the challenges of raising a premature baby and spending time in the NICU. I understand the rollercoaster of emotions, uncertainties, and triumphs that come with this journey. My experiences have taught me the strength and resilience required to care for a preemie and provided me with a deep understanding of the support and care these special babies need. Through personal anecdotes and advice, I aim to create a supportive community where parents can find solace, information, and inspiration in their own preemie parenting journey.
I believe that every baby and family is unique, and parenthood is a beautiful adventure filled with learning and growth. As a parent myself, I am excited to share our discoveries, challenges, and milestones with you. Together, we will navigate the beautiful chaos of parenthood and celebrate the joys that come with nurturing a growing family. Thank you for joining me on this incredible adventure, and we look forward to building a warm, inclusive, and informative community where we can all learn and grow together. Let’s embark on this incredible journey of parenthood, one magical moment at a time!
