Moving Onwards and Upwards
Posted on July 3, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 2 Comments
The time has come for me to move on . . . in my At Home Mom blog, that is. The free template I´ve been using there is lovely, but too limited for my purposes. Now that I´ve gotten to 1,000 visitors a day, I really need to make some space for ads and redesign [...]
Where Does This Stuff Come From?!?

It´s crazy, the things that come out of your mouth when you become a parent. A few examples from our house this past weekend:
“Feet don´t go in the popcorn.”
“Suffocating your brother is NOT ok!”
“Careful, don´t fall out the window.”
“Cornflakes don´t belong in your nose.”
“Cornflakes don´t belong in your ear.”
“They don´t belong in your brother´s nose [...]
NINE Hours!

Of sleep, that is. We went out for a walk to tire the boys out yesterday and it wore us all out! By 8:30, I couldn´t keep my eyes open anymore and since both boys had crashed early (Dante in his crib, yay!), I headed to bed.
And slept the whole night through.
Amazing! I [...]

I´ve been working on a couple of new blogs lately. One is just mine and the other is one that my younger sister and I are building together.
The first blog, Fit, Healthy Mama, is just what it sounds like, a health blog. Originally, I was just going to use it as a personal diary [...]

Mama´s Boy No More?

Ok, Ok, I know this is normal . . . but . . . but . . . sniff. Tonight Dorian requested that his Papa put him to bed . . . even with the stories! I´ve read him his bedtime stories since he was born and this is the very first time he´s made [...]
Things I Never Thought I´d Say

You know how, when you´re a kid, you think, “I´m never going to be like my mom. I´m not ever going to tell my kids that and I´ll let them eat cake for breakfast!” Well, ok, I do occasionally let my kids have cake for breakfast. But my point is, you think you´ll do [...]
If You Give a Man a Shopping List . . .
Posted on April 11, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 3 Comments
I have a lot to do today if I want to spend even half my birthday tomorrow without working, so Irving volunteered to do the shopping. The plan is to have a nice picnic in the ruins tomorrow, with chicken kiev and potato salad. But, giving a man a shopping list is somewhat dangerous . [...]
I Really Am a Lousy Housekeeper

Here´s the proof:
Today, Irving and Dorian went into Antigua and I got to work and cleaned the house, put all the clothes to be folded in one place, swept and mopped, etc.
Dorian walked in the door, looked around and said, “WHAT did you DO in here?!?”
Yup, I think I need to stay on [...]
Did I Say I Would Stop?

Remember this post? Well, guess why I´ve vanished off the face of the Earth for the past few days?
As Irving says, “You always say you´re going to quit and then you see an article assignment and think “that could buy the tiles for the bathroom” so you take it anyway.” I suppose my [...]
