Yes, yes it is!

And I haven't laughed so hard I cried in far FAR too long!
So, one night on the way home from Grandpa's I started singing munah munah (think Muppets) and R joined in. OMG what fun ... by the time we were most of the way home, the little guy was participating and giggling. As an aside, I told R "you know we have to show him the video ( Read more... )

  I've had a lot of idontwantto in my head the last few weeks.

The social media mastery course I attended last Tuesday taught a wealth of information I have yet to return to. On top of that, it inspired me to post my company's cause on my website http://www.getround2it.com  to vikingbrynn ' ( Read more... )

 I took the family to the First Annual Orleans Festival today.  We left the house at 11:00am.

That was our first mistake. Munchkin would have gone down for his nap around 12:00.

Unfortunately, however much I try to get R to get out of bed early enough that we can have breakfast and go *anywhere*, it never seems to get out the door much before 11:00am ( Read more... )

 Tonight's bedtime routine was AWESOME. I was just so HAPPY to engage with my bug tonight. He was snuggly and happy and friendly. And he ate avocado with just a little disengagement at the beginning. Then I soaked it in lemon and sea salt. Noms. He kept asking for more, and made mommy share ( Read more... )

 ... I just realized this weekend is Daylight Saving's Time.

I'd better write it in big red letters on the calendar or nobody will remember until Monday morning.

How random... I sit down to write a post for the first time in a week, and suddenly my LJ header is yellow-green and spring-like. It's a lovely change from the standard blue.

In the distance, through the hammering rain, the sound of a siren approaches then grows distant.
In a dark room with a desk, a crib and over-stuffed closet, a mother drifts ( Read more... )

So Ostara, as usual, will fall on or about March 20th.
Easter, however, doesn't fall until April 24th. Why?

I asked the same question and started poking about Google results.  Here is one of the more concise answers:

 Recently there was some talk on Facebook between jellyjenn , myself and Miss N about blogging our kitchen creations. The two of them do a lot of baking.  In fact, recently jellyjenn made a birthday cake for my step mother called Orange Cardamom Cake.  This isn't the recipe she used, but it's close, I'm sure.   She dressed it with a delicious nut-butter cream ( Read more... )

 R and I go to pretty much the same events, year after year. Now that we have the munchkin, we have less hours to be out working, and therefore less flexible cash.

This year we will likely need to be more selective with our event choices, with the potential for day trips rather than full event stays.

I don't know about R's schedule but mine looks ( Read more... )

 The wind howls under the front door tonight. The silver moon rides high and the clouds scud rapidly past. The sky has an eerie glow tonight. It's been a weird and magical day.

On the way to the office this morning, I made note of the 'watery sunlight'. A favourite description. In fact in the 10 minutes from the time it hit my car until I pulled in ( Read more... )
