Can’t say that the little guy was behaving himself, but he couldn’t help it! He was hungry and mama is a perfectionist sometimes when it comes to cooking and serving. It’s a ritual for me, everything has to be perfect because half the taste is in the presentation right? I gave you guys the recipe … Continue reading Waiting on the biscuits!
My father-in-law scolded me, as he often likes to do for just about anything, because he said I am always cooking ‘difficult’ food. But this wasn’t difficult, just a little time consuming. Still, the end result was absolutely worth it! Scrumptious, delicious, the real thing basically. I mean, do you really trust the chicken over … Continue reading Soul Food Day
So, I’ve decided to cook up some soul food: friend chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and of course biscuits! To do that all the while entertaining both kiddos, let’s just say I was one drenched momma!! Continue reading It’s cloudy in Athens today.
I’ve mentioned before that when the little guy is out of sorts and into his zone that sends me into a depressing downward spiral and everywhere I look I see negativity, in everything. Everything is bleak, dark and ugly. But when he’s good, he’s good. And when my little man wakes up smiling I know … Continue reading It’s been a good couple of weeks.
Let’s make a collage I tell Panayioti today after we had our lunch and immediately he lets out a long “eeee” sound and runs to hide behind the curtains in the bedroom. Ok you can play, I say to him, while I get everything organized. As I gather the materials and let him play with … Continue reading I want to break free
Another great picture of the big guy and the little man. Continue reading This one adorns our living room wall.
I’ve mentioned in a previous post that Kosta and I got started pretty quickly. We basically got to know one another while at the same time were expecting our first child together. Not many people can do that, and do it successfully. This a picture from when the little guy was about 3 months old. … Continue reading Check out this first time dad!
One person I don’t write about often is my little girl, Maria (or Marie as I like to call her when it’s just the two of us). I don’t write about her often because she is the one, and only, constant in my life; never changes. Wakes up early, and happy, just like her mommy, … Continue reading Miss M’s role
Today is just one of those days. Just one of those cloudy, grey-skied days where you wish your life was different. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened. I’m just feeling the 3 d’s: down, depressed and drained. I woke up, gave Miss M her milk and then an hour or so later took her to … Continue reading Just one of those days.
We’re going down our sensory activity list and I’ve just finished brushing him with his Wilbarger brush and putting light pressure on his joints and now it’s time for the lotioning, which is basically massaging him with lotion from his toes to his fingers 🙂 He loves it!! So much that he basically takes five … Continue reading T.G.I.F.
Because we’re all recovering from something.
