The scene: This morning, 7:00, the kitchen. Max decides that it would be SUPER FUN to help Alex eat some yogurt. Alex agrees, gurgles, coos, laughs and spits out yogurt in his delight at Max’s attention.
And Mom is thinking: “Why THE HELL did I ever agree to that damn white tile for the kitchen floor?”
Then [...]
So, I know that y’all over in North America changed the clocks two weeks ago, but over here in Poland we are subject to the European Union’s ‘Standardised EU-wide European Summer Time’. It comes into effect on the last Sunday in March – which was yesterday – and we are on this time until the [...]
Dear Alex,
My God, kid. How did you get to be ONE YEAR OLD?
The first time I saw you, you looked like this:
That top photo is of you reclining on your back, just hanging out. And that helpful little white cross in the second photo? Is just below your not-so-tiny member waving around in there, confirming [...]
Yep, I am finally getting around to this; turns out it was much easier to give 7 + 1 blogs a shout-out than it was to think of 7 + 1 things about yours truly. I started off frantically trying to think of interesting stuff (I live in Poland? I lived in Asia for five [...]
Well, it seems as though spring has finally sprung here in Warsaw. This means several things for Alex: his first chance to wear proper shoes and walk around outside, his first trip to the playground, his first taste of sandbox sand (delish!) and – but of course – yet another fabulous hat courtesy of Nanny [...]
OK, here we go…. as some of you know, this is my FIRST! EVER! AWARD! (thanks, Kristin!), and part of the reason that I accepted it is that I now get to pass it on to 7 bloggers of my choice. I LOVE spreading the love, y’all.
Here (in no particular order) are my choices for [...]
Aw, shucks Kristin. You are one sweet (and lusty) wanderer. Thank you so much for offering me this award – I accept it with gratitude and with a real sense of pride.
I want to say that I am very new to this whole world of ‘Mommy blogging’ and blogging in general, really. This blog of [...]
Ooooh. I just got back from grocery shopping (“Ouch!” says my bank account, waving at me from a decidedly depleted place) and I found (get ready for it!):
CORN FLAKES.
Hey. Why are you not more excited? Do you not realise that until this morning I had not seen a box of Corn Flakes anywhere in Poland [...]
As I wrote this past week, March 21st is an odd and mixed-up day for me. It is the day we buried my Dad, four years ago, but it was also his birthday. As time goes by, I find I prefer to think of this day in a positive light – though it’s difficult – [...]
So, I was rocking out with Alex this morning to ‘Zuzia, lalka nie duża’ (loosely translated: ‘Susie, the tiny little doll’) and it occurred to me that y’all probably don’t get too much access to kids music in Polish. So, for your listening pleasure, here is the song that Alex was bouncing away to just [...]
