It’s Gonna Be A Bright (Bright, Bright) Sunshiney Day

Happy Friday, y’all!
Hey, isn’t this award pretty? I love orange, I love blue, I love flowers. I especially love orange flowers – and since I stared at a stark grey Warsaw winter sky for about four months, I am loving blue skies at the moment. So this award is pushing all my happy buttons, for [...]

This Is Why

Wow, yesterday’s guest post from ‘J’ has certainly elicited some strong responses… Maybe now I’ll weigh in with my views, yeah? And just so you know: I have talked to ‘J’ many many times about his life choices, and my life choices, and so nothing that I say here will blindside him. I think a [...]

‘Over To You’ Tuesday (On Wednesday) – ‘J’ in Warsaw, Poland

I’m baaaack! The overnight stay in the hotel was fabulous – nothing like getting a free night and a full-on fantastic dinner with no worries about making the bed/ doing laundry/ washing the dishes. Right?
So, getting on with ‘Over To You’ Tuesday… this week’s guest is a bit of a departure from our first two [...]

Boy With A Pearl Earring

Does anyone else see a striking similarity between Vermeer’s painting ‘Girl With A Pearl Earring’ and Alex with a scarf wrapped around his head? Or am I just looney tunes?

Life Is Good

Ooooh! You know what makes a Monday morning a good one? When you drop by a blog that you really like, and read that the blogger got an award. It’s good, right? I mean, I really derive joy from someone else’s success – I love to see others get recognised. But you know what makes [...]

Four Years And One Day Ago…

… THIS happened.
Max was present – I was about 4 months along at the time, hence the ‘flowing’ dress – and despite being pregnant, I made it to almost 2 AM at what turned into a wild Polish wedding party which resulted in a vodka-inflicted broken ankle for my brother and one guest passed out [...]

Sharing

Ooooh, here, Mommy! Here! For you! I love sharing. Especially a delicious crispy corn puff thing that has the consistency and flavour of styrofoam at the best of times, but which I have dropped on the floor (only twice, though), and stomped on and slobbered all over and gnawed on and which now has the [...]

Story Time

I must admit that for about a year, I have felt a teensy bit of anxiety about Max watching TV and DVDs. I mean, I feel on some deep level, way way down in my gut, that sitting on their butts and watching moving pictures is not the most stimulating or challenging way for kids [...]

Spring Cleaning

So. It happened again this weekend. I rearranged almost the whole damn house. Almost single-handedly and in about three hours.
I have no idea where these insane and immense bursts of energy come from; the only comparison I can find is when I got that overwhelming ‘nesting instinct’ thing in the last month of both pregnancies [...]
