A blog full of memories
I sit at the dining table spooning fruit purĆ©e and cereal into Mikey’s mouth. He always looks for something to do while I am trying to feed him. He grabbed a wet wipe in each hand and started buffing the table (in a seven-month-old-kind-of-way). “Wax on. Wax off.” I laughed at my own joke. I …
My life is changed by becoming a mother (and not just in those stereotypical ways: baby talk, talking about poo–although I try only to talk to Ludo about that–having no time to myself (not even five minutes for a bath), going more than a bit crazy day changing diaper after diaper, more…). But, I actually …
Hello everybody. This is the first time since Mikey was born that I have even thought of updating my blog (7 months, three days). Although, I have been thinking lately that I certainly miss it. Maybe I just need to make it bit more of a priority as you all know I really enjoy writing. …

However, Chantel comes over every day (except Thursdays) and helps out. We make lunches together. Our favourite so far is this hummus-like dip that I got out of a …
Was I too preachy in my top ten things I would tell a younger self? Sorry. I can tone it down a bit and maybe lighten up. I did canvas some of my friends and family (and a few random people from my Moms-in-Vaud yahoo group) for advice on what they might tell an 18-year-old …
Hi there readers! I haven’t been blogging very much. I guess I have just been busy. Busy with the J-man. Busy with being pregnant…well, that seems like a lame excuseādoesnāt it?
