Elise has a very specific sense of fashion: to take the first items from each drawer and put them on. I’ve been trying to guide her, just a little, into wearing things that look a little nicer together but also believe she should be able to choose her own clothes so I’ll say things like [...]

A whole bunch of incomplete posts
Friday, March 9, 2012
I just posted a whole bunch of posts I found in some drafts that I never sent to the blog. I just got the timeline option from Facebook which I was glad for because for a while I was using FB to post the little fun things that happened with the girls and I thought [...]
Two…and a half
Friday, March 9, 2012
Elise is two and a half today. She is growing up strong, beautiful and smart. We think we’re pretty much in trouble. Her language is fantastic. She speaks like such a grown up little person – in full, grammatically correct sentences (well, mostly correct, anyway). But like all little kids she says some funny things [...]
Babing Suits and Sucky Switching
Friday, March 9, 2012
I found this post amongst the drafts. I’m posting it even though its several years old because…well…why not. Elise is going to be three in a month so I thought I would post one last two-year old entry before I do my sappy birthday note. Some funny and cute things Elise says and does at [...]

God this post is so old. I never got it up on the blog so I’m posting it as is a good number of months after it was written Daniella. Oh my Sunny D. My unexpected Gift. Daniella turned 4 on April 7. She is a bright and energetic little person. She hasn’t stopped bouncing [...]

12 for 12
Sunday, January 1, 2012
Happy new year! I am writing this email in my very untidy living room…eyeballing the Christmas tree that is absolutely coming down today so I can get back to normal after a wonderful holiday season. It’s been lovely but I’m done. Done with eating too much junk, drinking wine too often, done with the gifts [...]
Elise’s creative mind
Thursday, October 13, 2011
I am not writing enough of this stuff down. For a writer that is pretty pathetic. Let me tell you about Elise’s creativity. It’s bottomless. The other day she made a board game that involved rolling a dice and landing your player on a letter. The alphabet was all mixed up on the game board. [...]
Oh Do Stop Whining!
Tuesday, March 2, 2010
I don’t mind children who cry. I don’t mind children who are loud. I don’t mind children who climb all over the furniture, make a big mess with toys and don’t eat their dinner. But I hate, I hate, I hate WHINING! Bah Mumbug! Please, Daniella, please speak to me in a regular voice.
