String Me Along: Food Love
http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2013/02/food-love.html
I make no secret of the fact that I love to eat. Food is a celebration. It should amuse all our senses. Taste is of course important, but it should also please the eye. Yesterday I enjoyed a course of jewel tones. Rich amethysts and emeralds with a taste both sweet and sharp. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Life Through My Lens. String Me Along's Etsy Shop.

String Me Along: It's Spring!!
http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2012/03/its-spring.html
Officially. It's here. SPRING! Normally, I would be a little tickled to look at my calendar and notice those little words typed at the bottom of the date telling me that the day had finally arrived. But, today I am truly puffed up with excitement at the arrival of this wondrous new season. Spring could not have arrived in grander style. To make the most of the new season, I made a hasty jaunt to the still-bare garden centres and stocked up with (not enough) potting soil. The first of my container veg...

String Me Along: Love Day
http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2013/02/love-day.html
I have a confession to make. Secretly, a little bit, I really love Valentine's Day. It is a little bit about the chocolate, but its more about the kitschiness of the day. But then, I am a product of the 70's, a time when Valentine cards left in school-desk mailboxes didn't need to be politically correct, were loaded with bad puns, and were truly garish in design. It was an amazing time then! Here are a couple favourites I found:. Or should I say "eggs-ellence"! This one is interesting. She seems to b...

String Me Along: Bugs
http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2012/06/bugs.html
I will tell you now that if you are at all squeamish, turn back now! I was fortunate enough to sneak out of work early one day this week - no, wait, that is not at all what happened. I was stupid enough to commit myself to a half day of work on my day off! When I left the day was glorious sunny, a true bright spot in a week bookended by three day bouts of heavy rains. Immediately, I panicked! AH and herein starts the conversation that took place between crazy, insanne me (CIM) and rational me (RM). Strin...

String Me Along: Tall Ships
http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2012/07/tall-ships.html
I know absolutely nothing about boats and ships - starboard, what? Except that they are awesome. The bigger and old-timier the better. If they inspire illusions of pirate booty and scurvy they become more intriguing still. So, imagine my delight when I discovered that the Tall Ships Festival was being held in Halifax this year. I can state with some certainity that I do love the solemn guidance of a ship's figurehead. Here are two from the ships we viewed today. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

String Me Along: April 2012
http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
We were asked to cat-sit a few weeks ago. My husband has a mild allergy to cats so I really didn't expect him to oblige, but sometimes he surprises me. So two sweet cats, Bella (aka the fat one) and Jade (aka the little one) came to stay with us for a week. Here are some photos of the visitors. This is Bella. She knows where to find a cushy spot to sleep. She simply stole the little nest that Jade had made by stamping down the cushions on the back of the couch. This is Jade at her most fierce!

Gliding Through Motherhood: August 2010
http://mommyhoodforlara.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 23, 2010. I am still nursing my 15 month old twins. I am happy to still be doing that and have no huge desire to start the weaning process. EXCEPT. In the last few weeks Juliette has learned to ask. The first time she did it I was tickled - it was so cute. I always use a pillow when I nurse so she would find a pillow and drag it over to me. Tiny girl dragging big pillow. CUTE. SO Do I expect she'll start giving up as I continue saying no? Is this common for some children who nurse longer?
