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 ...

I consider myself a highly tolerant person who dislikes confrontation and generally stays away from them. But – and this is very big but – just like any other normal person, there are a number of things that drive me nuts. - People who don’t chew their food silently. – I mean in some ...

I write this list not to imply that working moms don’t value, want or even do any of the things mentioned below. These are simply reasons why I love my job. 1.

I remember it like it was yesterday – I went to the theater with my cousin Z and church-friends, including my best friend. ...

Hard to believe but in just 1 month and 3 days, our darling Little Miss will be celebrating her first birthday. Already. I’ve been right here taking care of her, watching her sleep, playing with her, giving her baths, singing her lullabies – but all the same I wonder, where has the time gone? I ...

Last night, as I usually do, I laid in bed with my Little Miss as I softly hummed a lullaby. With her head on the crook of my arm, I felt myself well up with emotions, quite unexpectedly. I breathed in the sweet scent of her, kissed the top of her head and tried to choke back a cry for fear of waking ...
