It was Friday night, and I had an hour all by myself before I was expected at a friend’s ladies gathering. So, I decided to take myself out to dinner. Hubby was taking Little T to his baseball game, so they were going to drop me off first at the restaurant. On the way there, … Continue reading Table for One
Experiences
Just me and my boy
It’s the Easter long week-end, and I am celebrating it in Germany with Little T while Hubby is celebrating it in Canada. This is the third Easter in a row that we haven’t been together, although, in the past it was me in Canada while he was in Germany (almost killed himself one Easter paragliding … Continue reading Just me and my boy
Sharing the Christmas spirit
Yesterday morning while lounging in bed reading and drinking coffee, Little T greeted Hubby and I with a plate of pistachios, walnuts and cookies. He thought we might be hungry. It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture and it made me wonder if he caught a little Christmas spirit. Or, maybe he was trying … Continue reading Sharing the Christmas spirit
Food should be loved
While browsing through a beauty focused magazine, I came across this picture of a beautiful platter of oysters with a woman holding a cell phone over the dish. From the title of the article, I assumed she was taking a picture of it because it looked so yummy, and maybe uploading it to Facebook to … Continue reading Food should be loved
Celebrating The Light
Today is the first Sunday of Advent. Little T lit the first candle in our Advent wreath before we sat down for breakfast. This year I finally invested in an Advent wreath that I can re-use, as opposed to the real deal. Although I love the scent of the real Advent wreaths and how nicely … Continue reading Celebrating The Light
A Friday ritual
Little T and I have a ritual every Friday after school. I wait for him outside of his classroom, and I am always greeted with a big smile and an announcement of whether or not he has homework (I can usually tell when he doesn’t, as the smile is much bigger). Today, he also greeted … Continue reading A Friday ritual
A visit to cherish
My sister and two nephews left a few days ago after a 3 week visit. The house still feels empty and quiet. I think it misses them too. As I said to my sister on the last night, during our wonderful meal out alone together, I always dread the day when visitors go home. There … Continue reading A visit to cherish
We’re still here
It’s been awhile since I have posted an update. That thing called life sometimes gets in the way of sitting down and writing, but since Hubby and son are watching Star Wars, I took the golden opportunity to come upstairs and do just that. Nothing against Star Wars. Actually, that’s not true – I can … Continue reading We’re still here
My little Monkey
It’s hard to believe that seven years have gone by since I became a Mom. My baby has become a little boy right in front of me. And it’s been fun witnessing his growth with all the milestones; walking, riding a bike, blowing a bubble, whistling, starting school, printing his name, and most recently reading. … Continue reading My little Monkey
What happens in Paris doesn’t stay in Paris
I am fortunate to still be good friends with a girl I met in Kindergarten, and a girl I met while very lost on the first day of high school. This year, us good friends are all turning 30 40, and one of the husbands decided that we should celebrate this fact in Paris. Unfortunately, … Continue reading What happens in Paris doesn’t stay in Paris
