The Autumn Swap that was held by Are We There Yet Mom? back in August was a lot of fun. I received my package last week from Jennifer and took tons of photos . . . with my old camera. We bought the new one and my dear hubby erased everything on the old one, [...]

Imagine that you are deaf, dumb and insensitive to touch.What other image of happiness could you have?
Obviously taste and smell come to mind. I happen to have a very sensitive nose, something that drives Irving nuts when I [...]
All These Holidays

Growing up in Canada, we didn´t celebrate the American Thanksgiving, ours is in October. My parents were Christian, so Halloween was out, too. For us, there was a big gap between Thanksgiving in mid-October and the festivities of Christmas.
Being the avid blog reader that I am now, I can´t believe how you Americans celebrate! One [...]

“Stop hitting the baby” has become a daily mantra in your home.
You are deaf to screams for more ice cream.
Bedtime in your home means ten glasses of water, two diaper changes and some headbanging on the door.
Your floor bears the rubber marks of a smallish person kicking (with sneakers) while spinning in circles on their [...]
Yummy Popsicles

We´ve really been getting into making popsicles around here. Dorian just loves them! So, I started scouring the net for recipes and boy, did I find some weird ones! Ones with Rice Krispies and pecans, others with Miracle Whip and graham crackers! Bizarre. I had no idea people made concoctions like this!
My popsicles are pretty [...]

So, supposedly Guatemala is warm. In fact, in my guidebook it said “Guatemala is known as The Land of Eternal Spring for its warm, temperate climate”. Ha!
I don´t actually have a thermometer, but I swear it´s under 15º right now. My nose is frozen. I´m wearing a tank top, a long sleeved shirt and a [...]
Attack of the Killer Beetles

I was recently watching reruns of Supernatural and one of the very early episodes is called Bugs, where an ancient Indian curse brings up a lot of nasty insects to kill people building on sacred ground. Well, the first guy we see succumb to insects is eaten by beetles. Ha ha, right?
Guess what has been [...]

What was your first “real” job?
I worked for my dad from the time I was 15, for the minimum wage, cleaning the studio, setting up lights for photo shoots, mics for recording sessions and doing assorted other chores. It was a great job and I learned a lot, but at that age, I didn´t [...]
Photos of the New House

Ok, here they are, photos of our nearly finished home!
First up, the tile floor. These tiles look great, though the picture didn´t turn out very well. I had to fix the color in Photoshop, but this is pretty close to it.
Here´s my new kitchen. Obviously, it still needs some work. I want to put in [...]
