The Hearth

March 18, 2010
-

We find ourselves gathering there. At our “hearth”.
Our cornerstone.
The kitchen, and inside the kitchen the warm spot.
This new lovely Frigidaire family member, that saves me time so I can sit on the floor and frolic a bit.

Frigidaire Mom

It was just before Thanksgiving last year, a day like any other day.  I was probably craving lemonade and grilled cheese with mustard, one of my main pregnancy cravings.  I was probably getting sick all day throughout the day, as it was another one of my pregnant “staples” with Mabel in my belly.

Reblog this post [with Zemanta]

Since Nestle has me talking back to school* and I already told you about what back to school time means for me as a mom, I thought I’d turn the focus on a member of our family that doesn’t get much air time here on my blog.

Hello My Name Is Crazy

May 29, 2009
jonah2

You know when you have a swirl of life circumstances that are so profound, immense, large in quantity, moving, taxing and ridiculous that you can’t quite remember what you used to do, what your routines were, what you were supposed to be doing or which end is up?
Yeah.
Last week, I flew to Orlando and took [...]
