Life with Kids: June 2010

Saturday, June 19, 2010. Hello World.or the 3 People Who Still Read This (I Heart You). Okay, I know it's been a while. A really long while, and to be honest the thing that bothers me the most about not blogging is that I've got about a thousand chicken pictures backed up that I'm longing to showcase. I know, it's sad. Several months of not blogging and the only thing I care about is showing you chicken pictures. My gosh somebody slap me. Status I am out a computer for a while and am borrowing Helmut's.

Life with Kids: February 2010
http://karigranda.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2010. My birthday was two weeks ago, and since I think I've learned as much as the little 3 mega pixel camera in my iphone. Can teach me, I asked Helmut. To get me a real camera as my birthday gift. He did as promised and allowed me to have my pick. The first one I got was a Fuji 10 mega pixel point and click digital camera. The pictures were just okay, but not much of an improvement from my iphone. Game distraction (Hayden), we managed to pick out a Nikon DX. Toasted Gnocchi with...

Life with Kids: January 2014

Friday, January 17, 2014. The Magnesium Albuterol Connection. Albuterol causes your body to flush magnesium. At that time my aunt told me about The Magnesium Miracle. I was at the end of my rope mentally, freaking out inwardly wondering if we were going to end up having to give him steroids for his lungs and eventually end up taking daily inhalers. We had been prescribed these avenues before but were able to get by comfortably using homeopathic treatments. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Tale of our Miles.

Life with Kids: July 2010
http://karigranda.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 28, 2010. I probably should have corrected the kids the first time they called this lovable little icon Poo Poo, but I just couldn't help myself. They still think that's his real name. What? Some kids grow up believing a fat guy in a red suit at the mall gives them Christmas presents, let me have my fun. Tuesday, July 27, 2010. The Truth about Barbacoa. Have I told you the story about Barbacoa. I don't think I have, and since I just consumed my weight in barbacoa. Shredded meat, some fres...

Thursday, April 22, 2010. Conversations with a Three Year Old: The House. Hayden: "Mommy, what's that? Pointing to a screw sized hole in the ceiling). Me: "It's just a hole". Hayden: "OH NO MY HOUSE IS BROOOOOOKEEEEEN. I'm so sad.". House for Sale: DIY Do or Die. The past three days we've been internetless. Or I'd have filled you in on the catastrophe that was our house. As you know we've had the house for sale for a week now. The second day it was for sale Helmut. Musical interlude), TERMITES. Crap.

Operaatio Vietman: maaliskuuta 2009
http://operaatiovietman.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunnuntai 8. maaliskuuta 2009. Nyt on oltu viikko kotona ja ajattelin hieman koota ajatuksia. Vietnam itsessään oli omituinen maa. Liikennekaaos, kommunismi, tietty alkeellisuus värittivät elämää Vietnamissa. Vietnam oli kuitenkin aito, lämmin, erilainen ja erittäin mielenkiintoinen. Tänä aikana, jolloin liki ympäri maailman syödään samaa ruokaa, puhutaan samaa kieltä ja ajatellaan samoja ajatuksia, on ihana irroittautua siitä arjesta ja tutustua kulttuuriin, joka vielä on niin omanlaisensa. Kyllä Joka t...

Operaatio Vietman: lokakuuta 2008
http://operaatiovietman.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Keskiviikko 15. lokakuuta 2008. Kaiken säädön ja selkkauksen jälkeen olemme päätymässä majoittumaan MuiNeessa Tien Datiin. Joka mun ymmärryksen mukaan pitäisi sijaita ihan ok paikalla ja ainakin TripAdvisorin forumin mukaan olisi ok paikka. Sieltä tuli myös huokein tarjous, 12 yötä neljältä vajaat 600€. Tarjosivat kyytiä kentältä, mutta hinta oli 125 taalaa, joten sen taidan unohtaa. (Pallontallaajissa vinkkasivat, että taksin saa noin 50 eurolla, myös bussit kulkevat tuolla välillä). Illat menee erikois...

Operaatio Vietman: Viime metrien huvituksia
http://operaatiovietman.blogspot.com/2009/02/viime-metrien-huvituksia.html
Maanantai 23. helmikuuta 2009. Jee, saimme lopultakin buukattua hotellin Saigonista ja myös junaliput! Kautta viiden tähden Sofitel Plaza Saigonin. Tänään menimme Luukaksen pyynnöstä hiekkadyyneille. Koska mä juutuin manikyyriin ja pedikyyriin, ei meillä ollut enää aikaa valkoisille dyyneille asti, vaan otimme taksin punaisille hiekkadyyneille. Siellä lapset odottivat muoviliukurien kanssa ja pääsimme laskemaan auringonlaskussa ihania dyynejä. Sovimme lasten kanssa hinnaksi 100 000 dongia kol...Nyt tääll...

View from a Little Plastic Chair. Dish #2 – Gà Kho Gừng. January 24, 2012. Alison and I spent the weekend at the wonderful Forest Floor Lodge. At Cat Tien National Park, where the noise of motorbike horns and karaoke are replaced by monkey calls and river rapids. While there, we hiked the short distance to the Wildlife at Risk (WAR) and Cat Tien National Park bear and wildcat rescue center. It was great to see the bears up close and hopefully on the road to rehabilitation. Dish #2 – Gà Kho Gừng.
