Aside from yesterday’s not-really-Wordless-Wednesday post, it’s been a while since I wrote anything here. I blogged last November about landing a part-time job doing what I love doing – writing. Well, that part-time gig actually turned into a full-time one not long after I started. The timing ...

This post has been sitting in my hard drive for a week now. But I guess it’s just as well because it is Thanksgiving and that is what I’m writing about. You see, I poked fun at my turning another year older on another post but the truth is, I appreciate how blessed my life has been and is. It’s ...

If there’s one thing about me that I’m really vain about, it’s my hair. Don’t let that statement fool you though. Because another fact about me is: I cannot be bothered spending more than 3 minutes doing my own hair. Or anyone else’s for that matter. That’s why I’ve almost always kept ...

The decision to quit my job to take care of the Little Miss came quite easily for me. It surprised me, but when it actually came to it, I was ready to jump right in. Headlong. I knew from the moment I had her that I was meant to spend the first few months – even years of her life – caring for her ...

What the daughter does, the mother did. – Jewish Proverb I came across this quote on ModSquad Moms and immediately thought of my Little Miss. She’s fast becoming quite the imitator. Sometimes I find it hilarious. Like that first time I saw her ‘sweeping’ her crib at the same time I was sweeping ...

November. Ahh. Just typing that word sends chills down my spine. Why, you ask? Because I turn 1 year older at this time of the year. Incidentally, it means starting this year my age will be greater than the number of days there are in a month. Yikes. But like someone wise (and I don’t really remember ...

2 nights ago I was kept up late worrying because of a blog post I read. This one was from Zdub at Raising Colorado. In her post she relays how she found out that her son has been the target of a, well let’s just say p r e d a t o r, who found his photos through her blog. You can read about what happened ...

I received a text message from my Mom 3 nights ago that got me thinking. In her message she said: “Cy, you write so beautifully! I thank God for you – especially since you choose to see the good side of what we have/had and dwell on the positive life experiences. You make my heart swell with pride. ...

Today I am linking up with Liz at a belle, a bean and a Chicago dog. All the text you will find below are taken from comments you left on my posts (I am bending the rules a bit – I’m copy-pasting comments left from last week’s posts as I haven’t been able to write anything this week). This ...

I am from a small but heavy, round wooden dining table with a Lazy Susan on top that is home to delicious toasted bread with butter and mugs of hot Milo chocolate drink every morning. I am from the scorching heat of sunny days, the meticulously kept rooms, happy sounds of children’s laughter and music ...
