So last week, Ewa picked up Max from play school, and so naturally, Alex came along too. Turns out that Max was exhausted that day – whatever they did to him on Thursday, I hope they do it more, because he dropped like a stone that night and slept like one too – and so [...]
OK. Can I just get this out of the way?
I AM SCARED OF SNAKES.
There you go: my Top One Terror. I remember learning in psychology class that if we are exposed to enough of our deepest fear, we can actually die from it; heart attack, shock that we cannot recover from, whatever. And we were [...]
As promised, here is the gift Max made me for Mother’s Day, hanging up on the wall:
And here are the flowers that greeted me at 6:00 on Wednesday morning, delivered to my bed by a delighted 3.5 year old:
Sometimes I am discouraged and overwhelmed by just how hard it is to be a Mom… but [...]
So, yesterday was Mother’s Day in Poland (remember how I said it’s celebrated on May 26th, no matter what day of the week that may fall on?). So since it was a Wednesday, there was (a) no sleeping in (b) no day with the family (c) no lovely brunch or fuss or whatever.
But! Max woke [...]
Welcome, everyone, to another ‘Over To You’ Tuesday! Today’s guest is the gorgeous (and she IS gorgeous, ya’ll: this is her on ‘Bloggers Without Makeup Day’) Cinda from This Side Of The Island. With a fantastic husband and three beautiful kids, Cinda’s love of ‘Family, life and simple food’ is central to her belief system, [...]
You know, for me one of the funniest Polish language things has been ‘pet names’ for kids. In Polish, the diminutive is just so sweet; in my opinion, it is much more so than in English.
Example: in English, how do we show that a person is little? Well, we do something to their name, right? [...]
Well, nobody was more surprised than I was when ‘T’ called me about two weeks ago. You see, he is a casual acquaintance of ‘J’s’ (y’all remember ‘J’, don’t you? Yes, I thought you might), and it turns out that ‘T’ read J’s post, then mine, and all your comments, and he was quite offended [...]
Gah!
And work has exploded. Yet again. I am juggling two deadlines in two days… forgive me, y’all! I’ll be able to post the new ‘Over To You’ text tomorrow.
In the meantime, I did a guest post of my own over at Mogantosh… so go check it out!
So. I had an interesting conversation on Friday evening, with a very lovely woman from New York (who was in New York at the time of the conversation in question). So we were talking on the phone… quite obviously!
OK, backing up: she found me through a Google search which led her to my blog. And [...]
Well, y’all had better brace yourselves! I haven’t been here since Monday, and today is Friday, and stuff has been going on. So this will a tome, an epic, a saga. A round-up, a ‘tying up the loose ends’, a catch-up, a panic-attempt at getting it all out of my head and onto the screen [...]
