Fragmented Fridays

by UnknownMami on December 30, 2011

Unknown Papi: You shouldn’t be doing that right now.

Unknown Mami: Doing what?

Unknown Papi: Making that.

Unknown Mami: Why?

Unknown Papi: Because you’re sick and don’t feel well. You should be resting.

Rocky Road
But Rocky Road is exactly what I needed to be making. I have been feeling horrible the last few days with a cold that is kicking my butt and then my spirits took a beating when I found out my brother is up to his old B.S. All day I felt horrible and had to take care of two kids that aren’t feeling so great themselves. When Unknown Papi came home, I took some Tahitian vanilla marshmallows that a friend had brought us, some left over chocolate chips, and some pecans and made Rocky Road. Suddenly the day wasn’t half bad.

I wrote about some fun Latin American New Year’s traditions at CafeMom. Some you might want to incorporate into your life, others will just make you laugh.

Wishing you a very Happy New Year!

And now your Friday Fortune Cookie

The Birthday Conversation

May 20, 2011

It’s my birthday! I am 40 years old today. To celebrate I thought I would write a letter to my 10 year old self, but then I changed my mind because hindsight is 20/20 and I wouldn’t really advise myself to do anything different. Instead I’ve decided to dig deep inside myself and let the [...]

My Husband the Feminist

May 11, 2011

My marriage is not perfect. Whose is? Liars that’s who. My marriage is beautiful, trying, frustrating at times, fun, challenging, exciting when not mundane. It is all these things and so much more. When I met the man that was to become my husband and the father of my children he was barely 21 years [...]
