June 8, 2009

Ahem. I know I said that today you’d be getting a run down on what we did and saw on our vacation in Puerto Rico. But, I just had to tell you about our time before we even officially got started. Apparently, I had a lot more to say than I thought, and it became [...]

Expect a Week of Island Goodness

June 5, 2009

I know you’re all waiting on me to post all about our trip to Puerto Rico and post pictures.
I know. I know.

I’m back! Now trying to Catch Up.

June 3, 2009

Whoa! What a week.
Hiking through rainforest, swimming in waterfall, exploring caves, lounging on the beach, and lots and lots of fried food.

Not only catching up at my “real” job, but also catching up on personal email, modernmami.com email, and the myriad [...]

En La Isla

May 25, 2009

Today’s the first full day we’re in Puerto Rico. I’ll be gone all week and won’t have full Internet access. I’m not even taking a laptop.

Of course, we’ve planned several must-do activities and sightseeing. But, is it wrong that I’m planning visits to specific areas of the island just so I can grab up certain foods?

Before & After Blogging

May 20, 2009

****Originally posted on Scholastic Parent Voices. But, I wanted to share with you as well.****
Before I started blogging my daily routine looked like this: work, pick up kid, cook, take care of kid, watch TV, sleep. Lather, rinse and repeat.
Now, while there’s nothing wrong with that, and I was happy, you can see why it [...]

Daddy’s Girl

May 18, 2009

That tweet was sent out yesterday morning. Why? Because it was too freaking cute to not be shared.
It nearly melted my heart to hear her say it with such conviction. She didn’t even think twice about it. Just plain and simple.
“I like my daddy!”
I immediately told my husband of course, who happened to be at [...]

I considered splitting this up into multiple posts since I didn’t want it to be too long. But, in the end, I don’t want the subject of the conference to drag out over too many days, so here it all goes. It’s worth it, though. Promise.

“Why do we have to work? Well, so we can get money so we can buy food. And clothes.”
