Sorry for my silence the last few days… dearie me, where does the time go? Just wanted to pop in and say, Happy Special Weekend! Whether you’re …celebrating the resurrection of Jesus …recovering from Passover dinner …hunting for coloured eggs …doing colouring contests (they still have those, right?) …partying in honour of Hans Christian Andersen’s…

Spring
What a beautiful day! Strangely. Last night was the most sleepless I’ve been since becoming a mom. That is to say, I was so (unintentionally) on alert for every sound in case E was getting sick again (which he was, at around ten to three in the morning, and again at 3:30 but with nothing…
What a Festrogabulous Idea!
Yesterday I attended my first official clothing exchange party. It was smashing! (The good kind.) Now, read on, and see if you can guess what that big F-word up there means. I’ve been at events where clothing was exchanged, but this was hard-core. A belly dancer friend of mine invited me – and I guess…
Best Family Day Brunch Ever

The Grand Opening Pampered Chef cooking show was a success! That is to say, people came, we chatted, we made food, we used fun tools, guests bought products, and the Three-Cheese Garden Pizza was delicious. Thanks everyone, for attending, and for your kind wishes! Being a consultant is going to involve a significant learning curve,…
Actually, it's November 8th. Today.
I don’t know why, but my blog records all my posts as a day later than they actually are. Like somehow I can see into the future? Write the future? (“It’s like I have ESPN or something!”) So today is November 8th, and my little baby (“E”) is five months old. Already! And he truly…
A few of today's thoughts
It occurs to me that I might seem conceited to choose the user name dilovely. I wanted to emphasize the love part, since I’m very aware of love, and like to make sure people hear about it when I love them. Okay? Wait, why do I care if the ether thinks I’m conceited? Shoot, I…
