Yes, Kalyn (and Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies Revisited)

Posted on June 1, 2007 - Filed Under Mama's baby, Pregnancy, cookies | 9 Comments

Back in April, Kalyn posted a question to me here. I tactfully (or perhaps not so tactfully) ignored it because it wasn’t one I was ready to answer in public. But I think I have waited a sufficient amount of time now. So, the answer is yes, Kalyn, I am pregnant. Will, my sweet little [...]

Berry season!

Posted on May 10, 2007 - Filed Under Mama's baby, fruit, summer | 2 Comments

When I was a little girl, my grandmother and I would go every year to a pick-your-own strawberry patch near our home in Dutchess County, New York. When the sign point to the patch would appear at the roadside, with an arrow indicating it was time to start picking, I would get so excited anticipating [...]

Are Melamine Plates Safe?

Posted on May 2, 2007 - Filed Under Mama's baby, Thoughts, rants | 12 Comments

As a mother of a young child, I am constantly on the prowl for what’s safe and what isn’t. In my house, we avoid partially hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup and microwaving plastic. But until this week, I hadn’t given a thought to the melamine plates that my son eats from. After all, the [...]

Happy Easter!

Posted on April 7, 2007 - Filed Under Easter, Mama's baby, memories | 3 Comments

Will was wide-eyed with amazement this morning when he saw that the Easter bunny had indeed dropped by our home to leave a basket of fun things. Fortunately, he’s too young to be disappointed that there was no candy in his basket. And besides, he got some cool stuff.
This Easter, I vowed to keep the [...]

Snow day!

Once he got over the “ew” factor of the snow sticking to his mittens, Will discovered that he loved the snow. We spent more than an hour outside, marching around in it’s fluffy goodness.

When all else fails, make soup.

Thank you to all the well wishers who commented on Will being under the weather. Thankfully, he is feeling better now - though his stomach is still sensitive and milk is not his friend. Being that milk is his favorite drink, it stinks for him because that’s what he wants most. But I am doing [...]

Basil: Heal me.

Well, Will’s ailment has infected our whole household. For Shawn, it started on Valentine’s Day, one day after Will first became sick. And while I did make an abbreviated dinner like Virtual Frolic suggested (I did the chicken, potatoes and mini cakes and skipped the rest), it wasn’t a pleasurable meal. The only really good [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Sick Bay

Posted on February 14, 2007 - Filed Under Mama's baby | 4 Comments

Dinner tonight is up in the air. I had planned three courses: cheese fondue to start us off, followed by a lovely lemon rosemary roasted chicken with fingerling potatoes and green beens, and finished off with individual heart shaped chocolate cakes.
But Will is ill. VERY ill. I won’t mar the blog with the gory details, [...]
