Mia Bella Vida.....My Beautiful Life: Life Is A Circus
http://miabellavida.blogspot.com/2015/05/life-is-circus.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Life Is A Circus. I cherished spending my time with those kids. Making them happy made me happy, genuinely happy. It was the first time I recognized how happy I was giving to others. It's like a little PING! Explosion in my heart that I can actually feel. Certain moments of beauty give me that PING! Like watching my kids take care of and love one another or sometimes I get the PING! At a Chicagoland homeless shelter. On Chance's 1st birthday we organized a CHRISTMAS IN JULY.

Mia Bella Vida.....My Beautiful Life: La Dolce Vita
http://miabellavida.blogspot.com/2009/06/la-dolce-vita.html
Sunday, June 28, 2009. Of all the cones in all the cities, Siena was by far the best! They had us at ciao when we looked at how authentic their display was. Check out the real strawberries in there.just for show! After we all ordered our favorite flavor we sat in the campo and devoured the gelato. One sticky, messy, lick at a time. I remember looking up and noticing the sky was a perfect shade of blue. We people watched as friends laughed with one another. And embraced each other. And embraced each other.

Mia Bella Vida.....My Beautiful Life: Christmas in July
http://miabellavida.blogspot.com/2012/01/christmas-in-july.html
Monday, January 9, 2012. One of my New Year's resolutions was to write more. Or at the very least finish writing about some of the important events that have happened to us in 2011. How about I start with my son't 1st birthday, since ya know, that was kind of important and all. And it was 6 months ago. And I don't want to go down as the mom who had her shit together for the first two kids but somehow couldn't manage to document ANYTHING about her third. Uggh It hurts to even think about. On July 16, 2011...

Mia Bella Vida.....My Beautiful Life: Mia's 7th birthday pARTy
http://miabellavida.blogspot.com/2015/05/mias-7th-birthday-party.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Mia's 7th birthday pARTy. Awesome and responsible" is how Mia described what it feels like to be seven. Seven. It's the start of the older numbers. Six? Six still sounds young to me and I spent most of her birthday shaking my head wondering how and when this happened so fast. Probably my all-time favorite picture of Mia, smiling on the Hawaiian shores. She is smart, sympathetic, artistic and loving. She is a poet. She makes me proud everyday, that girl. Over the weekend, my brother...

Mia Bella Vida.....My Beautiful Life: The List
http://miabellavida.blogspot.com/2009/07/list.html
Saturday, July 4, 2009. If Eugene were to have a "life to-do" list it might look something like this:. See the Great Wall of China. Take a cooking class in Italy. Live in another country. With Mia strapped to me in the Bjorn and Bella strapped in the stroller we headed out in search of a four hour adventure. While we strolled I thought about my life to-do list. Or the lack of it, actually. What are my hopes and dreams for the future? Love my life. But what do I want for the future? Would I be happy here?

Mia Bella Vida.....My Beautiful Life: The Last Supper
http://miabellavida.blogspot.com/2009/07/last-supper.html
Thursday, July 9, 2009. We capped off our European roadtrip with a viewing of The Last Supper in Milan. Talk about going out with a bang! And just as I was about to evoke my inner Robert Langdon, my investigation was halted by the sound of a dying cat somewhere off in the distance. Sheesh. Someone might want to control their child, I thought. My investigation continued. Why yes, that person to the right of JC does look a lil' girly. Is it possible? That yelp is coming from Mia! COULD I BE A BIGGER IDIOT?

A Claire in the Kitchen: Eating gulf oysters in August and other bad ideas
http://claireinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2009/11/eating-gulf-oysters-in-august-and-other.html
Sunday, November 22, 2009. Eating gulf oysters in August and other bad ideas. Yeah, right, Fluffy. You are one fat kitty. Two Thanksgiving dinners in one week is probably not the healthiest choice ever. However, Claire's Kitchen tends to have a laissez faire approach to eating; in other words, adults should be able to eat what they want, provided they are given ample, truthful information about what they are eating and how it will affect their body. I came across an article in Slate. Recipes, advice for ...

Adrienne's Food Adventures: October 2010
http://adriennesfoodadventures.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
My attempts at gardening, canning/food preservation, and cooking. Tuesday, October 5, 2010. I ventured to Ikea last recently. I say 'ventured' because it was a nearly 2 hour drive. I. Wish there was one closer. That was my first time to Ikea, and I loved it! I got this awesome jar for my homemade vanilla. I love it! Someday I'd like to get this stove (I had no idea Ikea had their own appliances):. Tuesday, October 05, 2010. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. The LeF...
