Cositas Así: July 2010
http://francesjoy.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Todo lo grande se espanta ante cositas así, ante el dolor que no falta, ante el dormir sin ti, oh vida, vida, eres cositas así. - Fiel a la Vega. I hate being called white. Hate it. As a woman, I've spent a lot of time looking in the mirror and lamenting what I see. Butt's too flat, hips too narrow, shoulders too broad, hair won't cooperate, what is up with my boobs? I know that when it comes to my hair, my curls feel like such a Puerto Rican thing. I try not to straighten them too often, because man...

Cositas Así: AmeRicana
http://francesjoy.blogspot.com/2007/08/americana.html
Todo lo grande se espanta ante cositas así, ante el dolor que no falta, ante el dormir sin ti, oh vida, vida, eres cositas así. - Fiel a la Vega. So I was driving to the grocery store, running some errands for my mom today. I had my window rolled down, listening to some music (in English, quite unusual for me) and was waiting to turn out of the development when this kid who's in a car that's speeding past me sticks his head out the window and yells: "GET OUT! Yeah, I thought so. Sense - I'm from the US&#...

Cositas Así: Remembering Ayer
http://francesjoy.blogspot.com/2011/09/remembering-ayer.html
Todo lo grande se espanta ante cositas así, ante el dolor que no falta, ante el dormir sin ti, oh vida, vida, eres cositas así. - Fiel a la Vega. I feel like I've been a different person since we moved to Costa Rica. I feel like I don't really know myself, like I can't trust myself. That's a hard thing. Part of it - most of it - is my self-diagnosed seasonal affective disorder. The cold and rain are really getting to me. So this is what I do, day after day, month after month. I stumbled across this post.

Well-Baby Visit of Vincent. Rep immediately went into "people-person" mode and smiled at Gianna and said "Hi!

Clara Teaches: Three is a Magic Number
http://clarateaches.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-is-magic-number.html
Used to be the blog of a kindergarten teacher, now a blog of a mommy. All of the mental spewings thereof. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Three is a Magic Number. Veggie Tales are on the TV, the nearly three-month-old is sleeping on me, and the nearly three-year old has leaned against me, pinched "the squishy part" of my arm (her favorite comfort method) and has fallen asleep. In only training pants. Couch, brace yourself. The Clara. So I'll start another rambling series on my blog. By pop media accounts.

http://clarateaches.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Used to be the blog of a kindergarten teacher, now a blog of a mommy. All of the mental spewings thereof. Sunday, February 13, 2011. Fun in the Snow! In Only 800 Easy Steps. First, I do need to share that I'm a huge proponent of outdoor play. Kids need dirt and sunshine as much as plants do, and even in the winter, I know I am a happier person after being outdoors. Particularly as kids who play outside tend to sleep a little better! 2:05 PM- "Go get a shirt! 2:15 PM- I grabbed Vincent, and ran into Giann...
