Great News! My Husband is Getting Fired!

Posted on July 26, 2007 - Filed Under Personal, Simple Life | 2 Comments

Ok, I know that doesn´t sound great, but it really is! Remember how I said that Irving had taken two weeks off to see if I could really earn? Well, that wasn´t the only reason, he took this week off more because he has to work every day with the band, which is something he [...]

13 Things I Love About Guatemala

Posted on July 26, 2007 - Filed Under 13 Things | 6 Comments

There are more than a few reasons I chose to stay in Guatemala, instead of continuing to travel or heading back to Canada.
1.    Irving. The best reason I know to stay here. I fell in love and stayed and I am still in love with him, 4.5 years later!
2.    Spanish. It’s fun to be fluent [...]

Second Time Baby Milestones

Posted on July 25, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Personal | 3 Comments

I think it is really easy to miss milestones with your second baby, especially when said baby comes right on the heels of the first one! It just isn´t top on your list of priorities, noticing that first bubble blowing moment, or the first time your baby smiles on purpose. I mean, you notice, but [...]

I was reading on Janne´s Jabberwocky about several children that need prayer. She has set today as a prayer day for families whose children are in need of a miracle or help. I dare you to read all their stories without crying . . . it´s totally impossible.
One that really, really touched my heart was [...]

Dorian was unusually fussy this morning and by 8:30, it was obvious that he needed a nap. This, despite the fact that he has steadfastly refused to sleep during the day for the past week. So, imagine my surprise when he went down and didn´t even peep! Just straight off to sleep. At 9 am!
He [...]

The Urge to be Creative

I have been coming across a lot of crafting and quilting blogs lately and they are really getting me in the mood to sew! Unfortunately I just cleaned my house a while back and decided to get rid of everything I wasn´t using. Which included giving away my pitiful supply of fabric, which I have [...]

The Cutest House I Have Ever Seen

I was just stumbling around the internet, looking for article ideas, when I came across this adorable house. It reminds me of a hobbit house from Lord of the Rings on the outside and it is absolutely charming on the inside.

It Has Been a Loooong Weekend

We are all sick here, except Irving, who is simply exhausted because he had to work all day yesterday and didn´t get home until 4 am. He has taken the next two weeks off from the school because he wants to see if I can actually earn what I say I can if he is [...]
