Our Family
Posted on June 30, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | Leave a Comment
I took some photos of us as a family the other day to send up to my grandparents. They are celebrating their 50th anniversary today and my extended family is all there, including my mom and two of my sisters to celebrate.
I´m really quite sad that I couldn´t go, but Dante wasn´t born in time [...]
A Rather Non-Typical Productive Day
Posted on June 30, 2007 - Filed Under Fun, Kids, Personal | Leave a Comment
You could say that today was not productive.
I had 8 articles to do, two blogs to get running again, a website to set up and new posts to write for three blogs. Irving left at 7 am for a music gig and won´t be back till the wee hours, so it was just the [...]
Thank Goodness for Bouncy Seats!

Dante has been entertaining himself for the past 20 minutes in his new, pink bouncy seat. I´m impressed. He can usually survive about 5 minutes on the bed, 7 if his big brother is singing to him, but not much longer.
I knew I wanted a bouncy seat for him, but since that wonderful woman in [...]
Sorry

In the process of reinstalling my At Home Mom files, the backups for this blog were also reinstalled, meaning that I have lost information off this blog as well! I´m going to be working on getting the articles back up over the course of the day, but if you were one of the nice people [...]
Some People Are Just Too Generous!

I just got back from Antigua where we met up with a woman who is adopting a beautiful baby girl from here. This woman and I started talking a week ago, when our kids started playing together (she also has a 5 year old son), and she told me that she was leaving soon.
She said [...]
Aren´t Naps Supposed to Last Longer?

I could have sworn I remember having naps until I was about 10! But Dorian, at 18 months, seems to think he doesn´t need them anymore.He´s wrong of course. I can see in his round little eyes the telltale signs that he needs to sleep. He gets extra little folds around them and his lids [...]
The Meltdown
Posted on June 29, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | Leave a Comment
I have a problem. A really big problem. And it was all because I woke up at 2:30 am this morning, after countless days of getting up at 4 am.
I accidentally erased my At Home Mom blog. It´s awful and it´s embarrassing, but that is what happened. I thought I was deleting Wordpress off another [...]

Well, I´m sure we all have something that we love to indulge in, even if we know we shouldn´t, so I thought I´d share mine! Feel free to add your own to the comments and we can all feel guilty together.
1. Whipped cream. On top of absolutely anything or just squirted into my mouth!
2. [...]

Five Hours in a Row!
Posted on June 26, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Personal | Leave a Comment
I am a bit of a bookaholic, for those of you who don´t know. I crave books. But down here it is difficult to find books in English that don´t cost an arm and a leg.
Well, yesterday, we were in the pacas (a second-hand area of the market) and on a children´s toy table, I [...]
