My Bedbugs

I got this DVD in the mail the other day with several episodes of My Bedbugs, a show about . . . well, bedbugs! Since it was English and for kids, I was more than happy to review it with the boys. I put it on one afternoon when both were a bit out of [...]
Dante´s Poor Little Thumb
Posted on August 31, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Mom Stuff | Leave a Comment
I´m feeling like such a terrible mother. I was cutting Dante´s nails and I snipped his poor finger. He cried, I cried, it was awful. He´s fine now, but I´m a wreck!
Why do baby´s fingernails have to grow so fast? It was necessary to cut them, he was tearing his face to bits (although [...]
Thirteen Things That Make My Kids Laugh
Posted on August 30, 2007 - Filed Under 13 Things | Leave a Comment
Kids laugh about the weirdest things. My boys are pretty funny themselves, but what they find hilarious is very interesting! Here is a little taste . . .
1. Each other. One laughs and the other thinks it´s funny. I can see this turning into a giggle-fest when they get a bit older!
2. Things falling. Something [...]

When I was little, we travelled a LOT with my dad for his business. It meant long hours in the car and we got pretty sick of it sometimes. I´m sure my mom felt frustrated with us, but she had a lot of little tricks up her sleeve.
I´ve just started up a new website to [...]

I´m starting a meme. Well, I´m not sure if it already exists, I grabbed it off a friend on Facebook, so maybe it is already out there. It is a lot of fun though, so I´m inviting anyone who wants to participate to go for it! A link back would be appreciated, but not necessary. [...]
My Digital Camera is on Its Last Legs
Posted on August 27, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Mom Stuff, Personal | 4 Comments
I love digital cameras. I have to get a new one, though, because my poor Kodak EasyShare CX7300 has just been dropped one too many times on the cobblestones and concrete. That poor camera has withstood some very serious punishment. But it stuck with us through thick and thin and to tell you the truth, [...]
Can You Say “NO” ?

Toddlers are mini teenagers, I swear. I mean, the stuff Dorian is pulling these days is exactly the sort of stuff I´d expect from a 14 year old!
Last night marked his first ordering of his mother. I went into his room and he wanted his bottle. He was laying there and I handed him his [...]
A New Floor

This is what was going on at my house today . . .
Yup, that´s my concrete floor going down! Isn´t it beautiful? There are a lot of things that really bug me about my house, but I´m so relieved that I will actually have a proper, concrete floor that I can sweep. (ok, I´ll [...]
Bronchitis is in the House!

So we took Dante to the doctor today, since he has been very sick lately. It started off as a simple cold, but it just keeps getting worse!
The thing with doctors here in Guatemala is that they almost never do the appointment thing. This is good if you have an emergency, you just head [...]
