Sweet eats.: 04.10

http://sweetheartsfood.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

I am a serious sucker for sugar. Two things I've eaten this week:. A mini cheesecake from La Delice bakery, a couple blocks from work. And my BFF Jenessa. Because when I was antsy on Tuesday, they Facebook-peer-pressured me into dreaming about cheesecake. I had. To do it. The good, kinda healthy, news is that it wasn't as tasty as I'd hoped. It was drying out. Though I probably won't get cheesecake from that bakery again, there are many more cheesecakes in the sea. Why yes, those. Links to this post.

Sweet eats.: It's that time of year again

http://sweetheartsfood.blogspot.com/2011/04/its-that-time-of-year-again.html

It's that time of year again. Last year, I didn't blog much about gardening despite ending up with a pretty rockin' garden. Energy that could/should/would have been spent on blogging instead went into the new puppy, dealing with the garden, dealing with the new house, etc, etc. Last summer was overwhelming. The few that I got were pretty tasty. I didn't really "amend" the soil, and they didn't get as much sun as I'd hoped. And then Lucy (the new puppy) dug them up. We grew zucchini (July 7):. Something w...

Little Dude's Mama: February 2015

http://littledudesmama.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 20, 2015. If You Don't Do It, They Will Do It Themselves. Life is a shitshow. One perpetual sprinting, marathon. Glorification of busy is the new black. There are Post-Its reminding us to take vitamins, plug meters, drink more water, buy more bananas, stamps, uniforms, yearbooks, propane. Autopilot kicks in thank Jesus or we’d never get anything. Balance is a sexy word. Maybe balance is the new black. As a mother, I feel balance is a requirement. Mothers are supposed to strive for balance.

Little Dude's Mama: They Really Ought to Meet Your Mother

http://littledudesmama.blogspot.com/2015/06/they-really-ought-to-meet-your-mother.html

Thursday, June 4, 2015. They Really Ought to Meet Your Mother. Today wraps up your first grade year. I had the notion to write another recap blog, about how smart and capable and kindhearted you are. How much you'll miss art class and the graduating 8th graders and how insanely proud of you I am. How proud we are. But you know all that. You are all that. If I Should Have a Daughter. There is hurt, here, that cannot be fixed by Band-Aids or poetry. So the first time she realizes that Wonder Woman isn'...

Sweet eats.: Seriously?

http://sweetheartsfood.blogspot.com/2010/08/seriously.html

Last published on April 29, 2010". I can't believe it. I mean, I can, since the evidence is right there, but that kind of updating (in)frequency is downright embarrassing. This summer has held so many great food experiences, and my garden (I have a kickass garden! But in May I got a puppy who, in the course of teething, decided to chew through the photo uploading cable. And my camera needs a silly proprietary Casio cable, not a mini-USB one like, oh, everything else. And I have been too.

Mother's Cookies Circus Animals are back, and although I hardly ever bought them, I'm happy they're once again an option. My old pal Kathy explains it here. While looking for a good picture of the cookies, I found this interesting note. Sounds like a blog I should keep an eye on. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Making my way east.

Little Dude's Mama: May 2014

Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Sometimes the Shadows Cast. Fear does not burn out, but sometimes the shadows cast by the thing you're afraid of are larger and more frightening than the thing itself." -Elizabeth McCracken. I found that quote in a magazine at a Delta gate in Chicago Friday morning. I instantly Tweeted it, thus preserving itself forever unto my Internet. I can't stop thinking about those words. I want to tattoo them onto my hip. You weren't scared, and I wasn't either for that matter. Fear does not...

Little Dude's Mama: November 2014

http://littledudesmama.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Ordinary people do extraordinary things every single day. Most the time, these ordinary people don't make headlines. They aren't setting out to cause a ruckus. They are not attention seeking. They are simply people making some pretty awesome decisions. Every once in awhile, these people are actually your people. Your Papa tutored an elderly woman and helped her earn her GED as a Septuagenarian. Your Auntie SG moved to Las Vegas at age 23. Your Daddy learned to eat (and like!

Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Why I Let My Daughter Watch the Avengers. I overheard two guys say, “what’s this thing rated? 8221; when we walked past them and into the theatre to see Avengers: Age of Ultron last night. It’s rated PG-13 and I assume they were commenting because we had Kid Rock, age 7, in tow. That’s right. I let my daughter watch the Avengers and you should, too. It’s OK to root for the protagonist every now and again. I mean, who didn’t love Loki just a little bit? I’m going back out th...

Little Dude's Mama: April 2015

http://littledudesmama.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 30, 2015. Kid Rock wants long, brown hair like her Mama. She always has. She loves to wear my heels in the dining room, so she clicks on the hardwood floor. She prefers her lipgloss very, very dark. Make it noticeable! What if I spent two decades not being my own? What would the shell of me look like? But I’m this. Together in the bathroom each morning, we love, we highlight, and we celebrate. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Mama Loves to Blog. Bound to be my daughter's legacy. A Damn Good Cry.
