I Made Velveeta
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on August 16, 2010
I attended a city college culinary program, which means I know a little about food. I learned the basics of the culinary world, things like mother sauces, cuts of meat, basics of pastries, ect. I’m a foodie. I love food, like it and love to play with it and experiment. Thankfully my husband enjoys my [...]
Sleep, sweet sweet sleep
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on August 1, 2010
I remember being young and fighting every single nap time in preschool, daycare, and kindergarten. I remember whimpering when my parents held true to my 8:30pm bedtime. I just wanted to stay up and play with the adults, I didn’t get why I had to go to bed. I imagined that my parents were having [...]
My first five days…
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on June 22, 2010
My first five days home with both my boys and my husband were a bit of a whirl wind. Slowly my mom has shortened her visits here to help, trying to give our newly extended family more space. When writing these posts I heard Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek with beeps and all. [...]
Men and Women are different
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on June 20, 2010
Yes, I know the obvious differences, body parts, hair growth, DNA. My husband and I are different, he is a good foot taller than me, has straight hair, is fair and has dreamy blue green eyes. I’m short, olive, with dark brown eyes, you get the point. I have been reminded time and time again [...]
Sushi, glorious sushi!
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on June 13, 2010
There are a few things I miss when pregnant. I miss a ice cold pilsner on a hot day. The full bouquet of an well balanced cabernet savigion. The crisp, acidic flavor of a well chilled savignion blanc. Even the syrupy sweet nearly effervescent flavor of an ice wine. Tequilla, oh how I love it [...]
Doctor, Sir. Parenthood is messy and I love it! ;-)
Q’s pediatrician was both R’s and my pediatrician when we were little. Due to an emergency situation he still remembers me, vividly. We are considered relatively young parents in our area. For the most part, here you are either a teen parent or you wait until you are at least 35 or older. We are [...]
Pregnant Weight Rant
Now let it be said that I am not skinny, I haven’t been skinny for years. Heck I haven’t weight 100lbs since puberty struck and I’m ok with that. Thankfully I am happy with my body and I see room for improvement. I am thrilled to say that the hubs is sweet on my current [...]
Epiphanies
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions, Quincy on February 27, 2010
I have been having a whole lot of epiphanies of late. Be it about the new chores I have to take care of, I’m still figuring all that out but to be honest I am really getting the hang of them. I am still learning to change with Q’s wants and needs. I’m sure all [...]
Moving, Moving, Done!
I was raised as a sort of nomad. I have moved multiple times during my life, went to 5 elementary schools. I was used to it. It was always due to circumstance, trying to make a better life for the family. I got used to being the new girl. I just completed my third move [...]
Music
Today on my lovely morning walk I was listening to my favorite Pandora station and heard the Isley Brothers ‘Footsteps in the Dark’ and all that kept playing in my head is ‘It was a good day’ by Ice Cube. I then recalled all the times I would get excited over a ‘new’ song and [...]
