The Joy of Tables
Posted on August 17, 2008 - Filed Under Simple Life | 4 Comments
A table is really something we tend to take for granted, but I`ve been living most of the past 6 years here without a kitchen table. When we were childless, it wasn`t a big deal. We had virtually no furniture anyway, just the bed and one room.
Now that we have a real house, albeit a [...]

Things are just crazy here. So this is a bit of a jumping all over post.
The House
We`re in the middle of rearranging the house and planning to put the boys in the same room shortly. It`s a bit of a mess. It means I will spend the weekend painting their room and then [...]

Wow, Home Hero Works
Posted on August 12, 2008 - Filed Under Personal | 3 Comments
A while back, I received a couple of HomeHero Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors, one to review and one to give away. Well, we put ours in Dorian`s room since the kitchen is pretty smoky sometimes.
Tonight, both boys are down with colds and have stuffy noses. They usually have fans on to help block out [...]
The Great Big Cleanup
Posted on August 12, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | 3 Comments
We`ve been cleaning the house regularly, but sometimes you just have to do a deep clean. Today is that day.
I`ve been getting increasingly frustrated when I wake up in the morning and see all the clutter that just has no home. And then we got our laundry back the other day and it didn`t get [...]
Could Be Time for an Allowance

Today, Dorian headed down the path with a ten quetzal bill clutched in his sweaty little hand. I assumed he`d taken it off my desk, but later Irving told me that it had been a gift from his abuelo the day before.
My little boy is growing up. He doesn`t just play with money now. He [...]

Over at The Simple Woman, they do this very neat meme that gets you thinking about your life. While I may not do it every time, I certainly think it`s a good way to think about things a bit and share them with your readers. So here goes . . .

I Love Bread Pudding

I really do. It`s just so easy to whip up and it turns old, hard bread into something delightful that everyone in my family will happily devour.
Since Dorian was feeling better this morning, he decided we should make chocolate chip cookies. Well, not only do we not have chocolate chips . . . they aren`t [...]
My Boy Is Still Sick
Posted on August 9, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 3 Comments
Dorian almost never gets sick. He`s the healthiest kid I know. Everyone expects the poor little guy to be sickly since he`s had all these intestinal surgeries and issues, but when it comes to the flu and colds, he`s a strong kid.
But today is one of the days he really is sick. I wrote [...]
Things Change When You Have Kids

Tonight, Dorian insisted on sleeping with his toothbrush. And while saying goodnight to me, he accidentally got toothpaste in his eye. As I dabbed at it with a damp cloth, it occurred to me that I really felt like a mom . . . making the pain go away and fixing up the problem. One [...]
