There is one thing that makes me laugh, when someone has a child they think is going through the "terrible 2's" when their child is not even 2 yet. I was one of those parents, and right now I would kill to have my child back in that stage. I thought things could only get better that the temper tantrums at 1 1/2 were as bad as they were going to get. What the ***** was I smoking? We are at the stag
Zicci Bea was created by two interior designers that wanted to provide their customers with quality and affordable options for their home with an emphasis on design. I am in the process of thinking about redoing Christian's room and as you all know that can be overwhelming. There are so many things to think about, colors, bedding, and accessories. Im glad that there is a company like Zicci Bea who
Why do I do this to myself? I cannot seem to make myself stay on top of my Suite101 commitment and then am scrambling at the end of the three month cycle to get my ten articles done in time. So that is what I’m doing right now. It is easy to let it go because [...]
I am a huge advocate for sending our kids to school with waste-free lunches! One of my favorite companies is SnackTAXI. They were the original company to make reusable bags for sandwiches and snacks. They have been around since 2003. I also like the fact that they are made in a home-based workshop by local sewers. I had a chance to check out both their sand

Ollie is surprising me everyday with role-playing and by just how much he uses his imagination. Yesterday as we were getting ready for the day, he ran into me moving his arms like a train and saying "chuga chuga". I asked him what he was doing to which he replied "Ina train". I asked "Oh! Are you a train?" and he replied with a very certain "YEAH!". I asked him what noise h
I’m totally enjoying watching my boys grow, learn, mature, and create and identity of who they are and want to be. When they were little their wants, needs, likes, and dislikes were all genuine and came from within, but as they’re growing they are starting to be influenced by their outside world. At times those [...]
Cape Cod and ice cream go hand in hand. I think every town on the Cape has an ice cream shop, most often selling homemade ice cream and with a loyal following claiming that that particular ice cream shop is the best on the Cape. Our family visits Ice Cream Sandwich in Sandwich, MA every year. [...]
1. Did you have a favorite blanket or toy as a kid? If so, do you still have it? Yeeeesss! My Favorite Blankie as it was called. It’s yellow with a bunch of different scraps of fabric sewn together on the front..not really a quilt though. About 6 or 7 years ago I had a nice old [...]
This week is Share Your Testimony over at Kelly's Korner. I have never participated in Show Us You Life but for some reason was prompted to see what this weeks theme was about. I was instantly intrigued because I have never shared my testimony on my blog before but I was also very very hesitant. Hesitant because my testimony may be offensive to some. I am going to be talking about a certain r
I recently had the magical opportunity to be a part of the media's first glance of Disney's brand new Aulani Resort, on Oahu. We went on a "hard hat" tour of this Ko'Olina resort that is due to open August 29 2011. The word Aulani means: "One who delivers a message from a higher authority." So what is this message and who is delivering it? The messenger is Disney and the message is authentically,

I have finally finished reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love. Looking at the work as a whole, I am filled with a different opinion of the beginning of her story. Gilbert’s whininess and over-dramatization of her failing marriage serves more as a mirror into the soul of so many women who struggle with being wholly [...]
Un nuevo estudio sugirió que las fumadoras que desarrollan preeclampsia durante el embarazo pueden sufrir complicaciones asociadas con ese trastorno, como parto prematuro, bajo peso del bebé al nacer y muerte del feto (mortinato).La preeclampsia es un síndrome que produce un aumento súbito de la presión después de la semana 20 y una acumulación de proteína en la orina por estrés en los riñones.La
It's exciting for us to find a book we've never read from an author that we admire. At our most recent library visit, we came across Pezzettino by Leo Lionni. What attracted me to the book was the title and the bright colors on the cover page. Little Pezzettino is so small he is convinced he must be a piece of somebody else. A wise man helps him discover the truth.We enjoye

I think I only discovered the beauty of beetroot in my thirties. If I am not mistaken, when I was a kid, beetroot used to come out of a tin and had the texture of a wet piece of Styrofoam. Now that I have started buying fresh beetroot and have learned to roast or steam [...]
Today was gonna be the day. The day I sat down and wrote some blog posts. I have a notebook full of ideas, pictures to include, stories to tell. I could probably make you smile or laugh, nothing to cry about though. But, then I stepped outside. I smelled fresh cut lawn, heard the birds singing, felt the cool breeze blow on my skin and all my good blogging int
Besides being kicked out of bed at least twice last night and trying to sleep on the couch? I'm nesting. I can't walk by the nursery without going in and organizing or hanging something up. The cleaning of the baby gear comes next. At MPR this week we're talking about Pop on Pals Amusement Park playset, Clementine Art Natural Paint for kids, Goody Hair Products Colour Collection,
I like to keep things simple these days. Even when it comes to dressing up, and doing my make-up. At my age, less is more. Last week, for the wedding reception, my sister-in-law kindly offered to do my hair. As you know, women like to wear black, wear more sparkle or bling in the evening. I was wearing my black cocktail dress but kept my hair down. Wasn't that enough? I was content with

I’ve been a long time customer of Gorton’s. We always have a bag of Battered Fish Fillets and Extra Crunchy Breaded Fish Sticks sitting in our freezer.

Happy Friday! Guess what? I cooked a couple of my favorite recipes this week - and then my oven broke. Actually, it's been on it's last leg for ... well, 9 months. When we moved in, my husband was standing on the glass cooking surface trying to clean off the top of the cabinets... and his foot went through.We had just bought a new fridge, and there was no way we had budgeted
Thank you lord for the week being over. This has been a very busy week for me. I have been MIA on here cause i simply did not have the opportunity to blog.

Not only that but munchkin has been throwing up and shitting on himself

Once in awhile I like to fantasize about being 18 again, only in my fantasy I’m 18 with 38 years of experience. I don’t think I’d ever want to go back to my teen years unless I could go back with those 20 years of my life completely intact inside my brain somewhere. What would [...]
Barack Obama was recently a guest on The View. No, you’re not going crazy–it’s still 2010 and there is no presidential election going on.

HOT and COLD. She is on top of me, smothering me, seeking every inch of my affection; she doesn’t want to share me. She wants to cuddle. She wants me to brush her hair, to tickle her back, to massage her. She wants to talk about boys. She wants to go shopping. She wants me [...]
We have yet another winner from the nice folks at The Baby Bunch! We have already received and reviewed a darling baby bunch bouquet, and a completely darling cupcake set. These have already been opened, the bouquet already worn by a boy who has nearly outgrown it. If you will remember, I said the only two problems with the bouquet were the hobby show fake floral smell we were able to air out
If you suffer from perfectionism, like me, then you’ll know what I’m talking about here. I’ve been staring at this chest of drawers that serves as our family’s craft cabinet for about three weeks.

Remember localwashing? When a company pretends that it’s using local goods to create a product, but it’s really just trying to get you to buy crap?

My mother says that we, she and I, are “brightly colored people”. My friends have described me as fiery and passionate. My husband, I suspect, just wishes I wasn’t such a bitch sometimes. And no, he would never actually call me a bitch. I’m not even sure he’s ever gone so far as to say [...]
