Sticky Kisses: Three-Posts-In-One
http://beanieschapini.blogspot.com/2013/03/three-posts-in-one.html
The Sweet and Sour of the Stay-At-Home Life. Wednesday, March 13, 2013. Post I: Habemus Papam! I would not normally have used this phrase as a post title, but it seemed to go well with my next one, which I started a few days ago, before we had a new pope. Which, we now have! It was a day of great excitement in the Catholic world and in our house today! Pope Francis seems to have a sweetness about him that I think the whole world needs. He calls for brotherhood, something the world needs. On faceb...Part ...

Sticky Kisses: January 2013
http://beanieschapini.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
The Sweet and Sour of the Stay-At-Home Life. Thursday, January 31, 2013. When we were embarking on the Big Event of Having Three Children (can you tell I read a lot of A.A. Milne? People warned us, "Watch out! It really was that great. Partly because it was summer (and even an extraordinary summer where it almost never rained! Three is not crazy! Three is (omg why did I even think this) EASY! Riiiiiight. "Easy," I said. In other news, Anja got a camera for her birthday in November and we just got the cor...

Sticky Kisses: February 2013
http://beanieschapini.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
The Sweet and Sour of the Stay-At-Home Life. Sunday, February 10, 2013. On Friday morning the girls and I drove up the hill to St. Mary's School and officially registered Anja for half day morning kindergarten. I'm not feeling especially sentimental (yet) about the fact that my oldest baby is going to be heading off to school in the fall, but at the same time I AM feeling sentimental about the fact that she is no longer, in any way, shape or form, a baby. And then one day everything magically changed.

Sticky Kisses: When I Grow Up
http://beanieschapini.blogspot.com/2013/05/when-i-grow-up.html
The Sweet and Sour of the Stay-At-Home Life. Tuesday, May 28, 2013. When I Grow Up. I was twelve when I got my first guitar (a Lotus, from a pawn shop) and shortly after I learned how to play "Love Me Do" and "Feelin Groovy," I decided what I wanted to be when I grew up: I wanted to be "a hippie.". Where the heck am I going with this blabbering post? Listening to Joan Baez makes me want to homeschool forever. Here is the point of this post: BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. If you can, that is. For example, b...It's ...

Sticky Kisses: July 2013
http://beanieschapini.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
The Sweet and Sour of the Stay-At-Home Life. Tuesday, July 2, 2013. No, I hate Judgers). Today something really funny happened. It was funny to me, and someday I hope Greta will see the humor in it as well. This is how it went:. Greta: "Mama, will you put this bow in my side ponytail? Which way do you want it to go? Greta: "I want it like this." (shows me, sort of, which direction it should face.). Me: "Okay." (Puts in bow) "Now, you go look in the bathroom mirror and see if I did it right.". I felt a li...

Sticky Kisses: October 2012
http://beanieschapini.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
The Sweet and Sour of the Stay-At-Home Life. Friday, October 19, 2012. Well, Fall is certainly chugging along, isn't it? This year we did something out of the ordinary, and instead of me making Halloween costumes ON Halloween, we PURCHASED Halloween costumes LAST WEEK. Whoa! I am not just timely, I'm ahead of schedule! This is quite an extraordinary event. Here's a big Elka face for you:. My birthday was great! I am a lucky mama. It fits her pretty well and it looks better with all four clasps sewn on, a...

Sticky Kisses: November 2012
http://beanieschapini.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The Sweet and Sour of the Stay-At-Home Life. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Let Me Tell You About My Day. Well, I'll tell you one thing, this past week has been anything but uneventful. Here's a picture to kill you with cuteness before I begin:. Okay, and here's one more:. And I can't leave this one out! Whew Okay. I think I've reached Blogger's Kitten Quota. I don't remember what we did on Saturday, but I know the girls had not quite recovered, behaviorally speaking. (It takes us awhile around here&#...

Sticky Kisses: September 2012
http://beanieschapini.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
The Sweet and Sour of the Stay-At-Home Life. Thursday, September 13, 2012. Why don't I purchase a gym membership? Answers: because I hate running and I feel stupid and flabby when I run; because I don't like people looking at me, so I'd just wind up staying home and getting fatter. (I made the most delicious berry cobbler yesterday! I ate half the pan! Man, that cobbler was yummy. Saturday, September 8, 2012. Practicing Kindness (Heavy on the Pictures). Her parents let her out of the house in THAT? Anywa...

Sticky Kisses: Welcome to Possum Cottage
http://beanieschapini.blogspot.com/2013/09/welcome-to-possum-cottage.html
The Sweet and Sour of the Stay-At-Home Life. Monday, September 30, 2013. Welcome to Possum Cottage. Man, oh man, have I fallen behind on my blogging! I feel like ever since Elka turned one (actually a little before that.) life has been seriously nutty. I am able to tackle everything that needs to be done (except laundry; don't ask me about my laundry) but there's no room for extras. None! I was pleasantly surprised! What is that little rise in the earth! Is that- is that a HILL! She fits right in . And m...
