Living the American Dream: June 2009
http://mariucainboston.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Living the American Dream. Monday, June 29, 2009. Lately I have been getting the knitting bug.a lot! I started knitting a nice blanket for one of C's cousins, but it's taking a long time, so I took a break and made this cotton hat for C! It only took about a day and a half, and while it's supposed to be a 4 to 6 hours project, I really am not an expert and I have to knitt in between chasing Noodle around the house! I used the patern from this book called " Last minute knitted gifts", and I love it! Overa...

Living the American Dream: March 2009
http://mariucainboston.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Living the American Dream. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Not so fast buddy! Yeah I know, Mari wrote about me being gone, but I was just at a party and lost track of time. I really did tell my sister, Timone about it, but she wanted to get me in trouble and never told anyone where I was. I am a little confused though. Mari was all excited to see me at the door and she let me in immediately, and then within 5 minutes of being back she was already yelling at me to get off the counters! Tuesday, March 17, 2009.

Living the American Dream: CVS escape
http://mariucainboston.blogspot.com/2009/11/cvs-escape.html
Living the American Dream. Tuesday, November 3, 2009. So I am sad to announce that my 10 minutes of sanity today were spent in CVS while I was looking for some better solution for C's diaper rash. I realize how pathetic that might sound, but sometimes those couple of minutes alone when I can just think without having to make funny faces or sing humpy dumpty, or translate whatever is all I can look forward to! So no wonder that the idea of having another child is pretty much closed at this point.

Living the American Dream: Don't have the stomach for it...
http://mariucainboston.blogspot.com/2009/09/dont-have-stomach-for-it.html
Living the American Dream. Friday, September 25, 2009. Don't have the stomach for it. I just did not like the pattern, the yarn, the way it came out. so I ripped it apart! It hurt me to no extent to do so, but as my friend K says: it's all part of the process. So now, K gave me this other easier, faster pattern for the blanket and so far so good! It's moving along and I like it. I will try to take some pics this weekend with the finished projects and then post them. September 29, 2009 at 3:26 AM.

Living the American Dream: April 2009
http://mariucainboston.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Living the American Dream. Monday, April 27, 2009. Money saving pampering trick! In light of the declining economy, and as many other women, I am always on the hunt for cheaper solutions to the little life indulgences. And it worked just as well as the ones you buy in a jar. It was not the fancy kind, no lavender or rose petals in it, but it did what it was supposed to do: pampered my tired feet. Monday, April 20, 2009. Has it really been that long? I can't believe how long it has been since I blogged.

Living the American Dream: October 2009
http://mariucainboston.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Living the American Dream. Sunday, October 11, 2009. The latest book that I am reading is "Hannibal rising" by Thomas Harris and it's pre Red Dragon, Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs. I have always been fascinated by characters that even though they are the evident villain make you feel sorry for them and understand why they are the way they are! I always wondered how much of who we are as adults is influenced by what we have been thru until that point in life! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Living the American Dream: Re-creating childhood

Living the American Dream. Sunday, August 23, 2009. So this fall (I know I can't believe I am already talking about the fall as we had no real summer, but none the less fall is fast approaching! I decided to just go back to the simpler things and make some goodies myself. And who knows what Santa might bring into your gift basket this year? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Living the American Dream: May 2009
http://mariucainboston.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Living the American Dream. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Here's my latest project. stitch markers. I have lots of small amounts of cute beads from all my beading project and since they are not enough for anything (maybe just for earrings, but how many pairs does one really need? Let me know what you think. Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Yup, that's my child. Everyone thought it was the funniest thing, including her! I wonder what's next. Wednesday, May 6, 2009. I am far from being done. Honestly, I don't think ...

Living the American Dream: January 2009
http://mariucainboston.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Living the American Dream. Thursday, January 29, 2009. Still can't believe it sometimes. I was putting my daughter to bed tonight and while this might sound really corny, I still can't believe she is ours. She smiles and giggles, and gets cranky and grumpy and then smiles and giggles again! Sometimes I look at her and I don't really get it. She obviously doesn't say much (well, except her regular "chitty chatter box" routine), she trusts us unconditionally, she moves around (in her own way)! Of course I ...
