Love Thursday: Uhm … Uhm … Good
Don’t you just LOVE birthday cake? She sure does!
Happy Love Thursday.
PS - I’m a guest blogger today at Freelance Writing Jobs … come visit!
Puppy Love
With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, B&B’ing, freelance writing, and learning how to cook, it’s easy for me to feel lost. In this state, we can easily take for granted our loved ones, our family and friends, and even our four-legged pals.
In November, 2006 our community puppette, Sophia, gave birth to six little [...]
Where I am From
Last Month Michelle of Bleeding Espresso wrote a poem modeled after George Ella Lyon’s, “Where I am From.” She included a form you can use to collect your own thoughts, and finding myself in a momentarily ambitious state, and procrastinating a less-than-ideal last minute assignment, I accepted the challenge.
I found this post to be exactly what [...]
Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits - La Buona Cucina Americana
You may remember last month when Judith, of Think on It! organized a rally of American-food-lovin’ expats to start a new campaign. This endeavor, called La Buona Cucina Americana, brings the blogosphere an array of homemade American goodies created by expats living in the Bel Paese.
Yes, we still love you, pasta. We still crave you, [...]
Italian Games
You have to get up pretty early to beat an Italian at his own game. I know this. Yet, I tried.
It’s blogosphere knowledge my father-in-law worries about my eating habits. He buys me chocolate to “fatten me up” and encouraged his sister to “talk to me about my problem.”
So, one day, after he growled at [...]
Birthday Wishes for Mom
At what point do we grow up and really meet our parents? I can’t recall the first time I saw my mother, not as “my mom,” but as another person.
My mother is a woman. A wife. A friend. But, when did I meet her?
It wasn’t here…
Or, here…
My mother was quite possibly the best mom any [...]
Put Me in Coach…
Last Saturday marked Opening Day at Kountze Little League, and the recently-progressed-into-the-machine-pitch-leagues, Cole was ready to play!
Now a seasoned member of KLL, and a fresh recruit of the Red Sox team, he knows what he’s doing. He also observed the absence of girls on his team this year, and was none too happy about the [...]
Love Thursday: Let the GOLD Times Roll
Last Thursday we discussed new marriages and fairytale weddings, and, I don’t know about you, but I felt a twinkle in my toes all week. (Of course, it could be the drinks I’ve been downing at this year’s UBP, but I’m not admitting to anything!)
But, this week, I have the Ultimate Love Thursday post. Ladies [...]
It’s No Secret
I miss Texas. Heck, I talk about it all the time.
But, I must say, I am usually the one in the family with bragging rights. It’s normal for me to call home and tell my family about things I saw in Paris, Corfu, or even Calabria. Well, there’s a first time for everything. And, that [...]
I Now Present to You
the new Mr. and Mrs…
Isn’t that fun to say?? I mean, uh, write??
It is!
It is!
And, on this, our two month anniversary, it only seems fitting.
Well, as you know good-ole-dad was able to attend the wedding, and other than a few centerpiece mishaps, a Maid of Honor shoe issue, and Peppe totally hating the tie I [...]
