Actually Merci. Just this week I've been hearing Max say, "Merci" when I give him things. I wasn't quite sure what he was saying as toddlerese can be hard to decipher at times. But yesterday, I gave him something and I said to him "thank you" and he responded with "Merci". Though it sounds more......

I am sitting in my semi dark bedroom. It's almost noon, the daylight peeking in through the slits in the curtains and the light from my laptop slowly peeling away the sleep from my eyes. It's 2009. I can hardly believe it. If I were to say that I did not see where 2008 went......

passed away yesterday. She was an old girl. 14 years old (maybe 15 we're still discussing when she was actually born) and quite possibly the best cat anyone could have asked for. Her passing is hard for me because it makes me think of my mom. She always reminds me of the many chat sessions......

As I struggle with juggling all these new responsibilities I've learned that if I give a little I get a little in return. It has always been hard for me to ask for help. I like to try to do everything myself but as I am learning how to run my own business (with my......

J’adore les semaines à thème. Pour celle qui vient de s’écouler, la couleur c’était : ”à force d’essayer d’être partout, je suis nulle part ou presque”. Bon en même temps, quand j’y étais, j’y étais bien, j’ai souvent rattrapé ...

Stirring cookie batter this morning got my mind jogging back to when I was a young girl and I'd watch my mom stir the batter. She'd always let me stir it until it got too hard for me to stir. It was always after the second cup of flour. She'd hand me the yellow bag......

I haven't logged into Typepad in what it seems like ages to me. I honestly haven't had a down moment to myself to properly compose a blog post. I have had swarms of thoughts invading my mind lately. All of them coming to me when I lay down to go to bed. I lay there for a second and think, "shou...

Bon, alors moi qui faisait la marrante, lorsque j'étais de passage à Paris, à fanfaronner sur le soleil de Sydney alors qu'à Paris on se les gelait, j'ai l'air conne... En effet, depuis 12 jours consécutifs, une pluie battante s'abat sans relâche sur Sydney. Les BOULES, j'vous dis!! D'après l...

Temps de merde aujourd'hui à Fréjus où je suis pour une semaine avec mes enfants. Les vacances commencent bien, j'espère que le soleil va vite pointer son nez. Même les pigeons sont obligés de s'abriter......

Today, we got up early and ended up having a mid morning nap and then headed to Ikea to pick up some things for the café. I was looking for a curtain for the door way of the café but ended up getting these great square mirrors for the wall by the bathroom. I can't wait to put those up tomorrow.&nb...
