Meet Alfa Sengupta

Hi there! My name is Alfa Sengupta and yes, that really is my name. Born in India, but moved to the United States when I was about 7 back in 1992. You doing the math right now to figure out how old I am? =)

Nonetheless, we’ve lived all over the country including Pennsylvania, California, South Carolina, and Texas. But because I lived in Houston for most of my life (14 years!), Texas is home to me. And I’ve been calling myself an Austinite since 2009 when I moved here to be with the guy I now call my hubby! And can I just say, I fell in love with this city within days of being here.

I write my own personal blog which you can find over at www.alfasengupta.com. I started it as a way to document my first pregnancy for my family all over the world, but soon after I started writing, I realized I loved journaling my life and so I just kept going! I now write about motherhood, food, DIY and home decor, life and everything in between! I also own a small business (www.olivedesignco.com) where I sell my original artwork! Painting is one of my biggest passions, and brings me to my happy place always. I can get lost with a paintbrush and a canvas for hours!

I have a little family of four that give me my daily dose of happiness. My husband and I just celebrated our five year anniversary in February but we’ve been together for 8 years! He’s my rock. My supporter. My cheerleader. My best friend. Not sure how I’d get through life without him by my side. Together, we created two little miracles! I’m a mama bear to a daughter (Aria) who is 2, and son (Rishi) who is 10 months old. They are eighteen months apart and a handful on the day to day! Those two little nuggets definitely keep me on my toes from dawn until dusk!

I’m a lover of food, wine, martinis (a dirty one is my fave!), and really good chocolate. Always been a muffin gal instead of cupcakes, especially blueberry. Definitely dogs over cats. Coffee is my oxygen and love language. I talk way too much and I’m pretty sure I can have an opinion on anything, which can sometimes result in “foot in mouth” syndrome. I always stay up way too late because my mind runs a mile a minute, and there are days I have no idea how to shut it off!  I have an obsession with rain, thunderstorms, and fresh flowers. I have an ongoing infatuation with travel, books, and mismatched coffee mugs. My biggest addiction however is Gilmore Girls. I think I have every episode memorized. I don’t even need to look at the TV to know what is happening. #nojudgies

I’m constantly thinking of the next DIY project because I love home decor, but love a good bargain so I always have a never ending list of Pinterest projects! Rummaging through thrift stores is one of my favorite ways to spend Saturday afternoons when the babies are napping! I love books, but can barely find the time to read anymore which is unfortunate! #momlife

I’m living life to its fullest and am trying to soak in every chaotic second, because I know life is just too short! Which is why I was humbled to be a part of Austin Moms Blog! I’m excited  to be here and can’t wait to share more!!
