The Way We Were: Part One
Posted on July 5, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments
Last night, Irving and I went out for dinner. This is something that happens about two or three times a year, so it`s a big thing (though it is getting more frequent as the boys grow). It was spitting rain as we left on the motorcycle, but it wasn`t a big deal.
After a delicious dinner [...]
Are Your Kids Free Range?
Posted on April 27, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments
I´m not talking about treating your kids like chickens, but a new blog that I came across called Free Range Kids. It´s written by a woman who has been labeled “America´s Worst Mom” for letting her 9 year old son ride a New York subway alone and then writing about it.
I find the whole movement [...]
Merry Belated Christmas!
Posted on December 26, 2007 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments
My blog has been down for a few days, as you´ve probably noticed and the reason is pure stupidity. See, I received my payment in my PayPal account, the only method I can use to pay HostGator, at the beginning of December. I took it all out, eager to get Christmas gifts and food and [...]
Question Round Up

I decided to borrow my friend Kimmie´s idea for a question round up since I have a bunch in the comments that I want to address in posts but never have time for. If you have a question, feel free to leave it, I´ll hold more Question roundups in the future.
Bernie wants to know [...]
Pumpkin Coffee Cake

I wanted to make muffins this morning since I´m sick of eggs and since I just did up a huge batch of squash puree, this coffee cake seemed like a good idea. I changed the original recipe (not sure where I found it) and here it is, if you would like to make it.
Pumpkin Coffee [...]

I decided that with the new kitchen, it was time to initiate Dorian into the world of cooking and baking. We started yesterday morning with breakfast . . . banana-orange muffins.
Please excuse my messy kitchen. I have no excuse . . . I´m just not a great kitchen organizer!
First we mashed bananas (picked the day [...]

A Survey Company That Might Actually Be Worth It
Posted on September 17, 2007 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I keep seeing all these ads for survey companies and reading how people supposedly earn hundreds of dollars for this stuff. Unfortunately, I´m never eligible for them because I don´t live in the US or Canada.
But, I just got wind of a new site called A.W. Surveys that actually accepts international survey takers [...]
I Have Escaped

I am writing this from a computer in an internet cafe in Antigua. I have escaped!
Actually, the truth is that I was kicked out of the house for being a big grump. Irving told me to go do the shopping on my own. In the rain. I didn´t want to go, I would much [...]
