It’s about time I switched. This is the first time I’m able to blog in WEEKS!! My laptop is always at 100% CPU usage, it’s driving me crazy. Something that used to take 10 minutes to do now takes me 3 hours. This is our third Dell. Hubby’s on his third [...] At the beginning of this week, my mind was all set to do a VENT post. As things turned out though, there was no time to do a vent post and instead I have time today to give thanks. What did I need to vent? Oh, the usual. What I thought of on Sunday [...] Just some musings through the past few weeks. Am on Day 40 of my “100 Days Offline (Mostly)”…. and surprise, surprise! I am still on “Day 2 Project” — our photo albums. I have finished SEVENTEEN photo albums so far, and I am 10 years away from being done. After buying a third album [...] It’s a tradition in the family that when there’s a sick child, they get to eat whatever they want to eat, even if it’s something we don’t usually purchase/make (with the exception of really unhealthy stuff like candy and Spam). So this weekend when Yena was sick I asked her what she wanted Dad and [...] Nine days ago I announced to my online circle of friends that I was going offline for 100 days. The goals are many, my list is long. My family has been very supportive. This is a huge thing for me, considering that I’ve been online in one fashion or another since college. [...] When you get to the ads, click on the shirt images for close-ups. Haha. Something’s seriously wrong with this ad. She can dance the night away in these fantastic flats! Really? Kids 3-7 years old??? No wonder we have problems in [...] It’s 2:09 am and yes, I’m still awake. Made allergy-free brownies for Aisa’s party with her college friends (+the Walshes) and I forgot that I made it with regular coffee, STRONG-BREWED even… and now everyone’s asleep and I’m still awake. I’m going to be dead in the morning, just when little one will be [...] Thinking: Love is a fire, which when fanned into a flame, becomes devotion. The love which we begin with early on is a tiny bud, which we water and feed and grow under the light of His Grace… until it becomes DEVOTION. Love brought us together, bound us together… devotion keeps us together. By constantly attaching [...] Since this is my blog, I’m allowed to brag once in a while, right? I also post this as an encouragement to myself and other homeschooling mothers who worry about their children’s writing skills. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it in the past but Aisa was very resistant to formal writing classes/lessons. I tried [...] It’s summer, so a particularly appropriate time to think about thinking. This is the season when I usually go through past curriculum, evaluate what worked for us and what didn’t, get rid of books taking up space in the shelves, buy books and materials that fit our philosophy and learning styles better (yeah! my [...] Part 1 is here. The Condo, cont’d. The Laundry Room … is small and serves as the “1/2 bath” — so you can go to the bathroom while doing your laundry, I suppose There’s a small Electrolux washer that holds about 1/3 of what my American washer does. And there’s a sink to do [...] In Rome today, our third day here. Staying at Holiday Inn-Eur Parco De Medici. Funny, feels like home — maybe because the hotel rooms are much like those we stay in when we’re traveling with hubby. Restaurant (La Serra) has good food — a bit on the overpriced side, but considering that we [...] Unbelievable, but after spending several days trying to go online after work at hubby’s workplace (right outside the “palace” gates)… we are online, in our backyard. Because the signals don’t reach up to our apartment. Right now, we are in the parking lot, under the palm trees… and it’s REAL high speed. And now I [...] Really affordable mozzarella — the kind we buy at Jungle Jim’s for $9-10 a PIECE. This here container has 10 balls, at 4.50 Euro (it was on sale — regular price is 6.10). – March 19 Aisa having fun with the mirrors at home (the blue-looking area in the very back is the laundry room). [...] found a Town and Country here (and same color as our van in the US!) — an Italian version, approx. the same size as the Fiat Ulysse we’re renting, thought that was pretty funny — this was taken at the apt. complex where our condo is – March 10 Nino’s smile – March 11 Yena and Nino – [...] |
