She said this and that. A place to proclaim, vent and giggle about life, work and the world around me. Friday, October 21, 2011. I still don't totally understand how I ended up in Texas, or should I say, ended back in Texas. I did take a 2 1/2 year break, but I've been back for. 11 years. Once you get here, it gets harder and harder to get out. Texas is a big ass state! It can take a good hard day of driving to reach the closest state border, so I guess you just say awhile. A Texacan thing to say. Af...

This means that I have fell in love with new processes that help me meditate on life. I've discovered water bath canning. Seriously, I love it and I can do it in my tiny kitchen! I've made the best garlic pickle ever, fell in love with homemade strawberry jam,. Created "Mmmm mango Mandarin jam," and. How silly, how fun!

She said this and that. A place to proclaim, vent and giggle about life, work and the world around me. Saturday, September 10, 2011. We also cut off cable/TV. We watched every DVD and VHS movie in our collection and those of our friends. I still love "American in Paris" even though I've watched it more times than I can count before we disconnected and now my son can sing along with Gene Kelly. How can that be bad? So what drove us to reconnect? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow this blog with bloglovin.

Great Books for African American Children: Luke on the Loose
http://www.momsoap.com/2014/04/books-for-african-american-children-luke-on-the-loose
Great Books for African American Children: Luke on the Loose. April 15, 2014. Annika has always liked the illustrations in stories as much as the stories themselves. Around age 3, she insisted, more than once, on checking out some Japanese anime books even though we couldn’t read them and the story lines were most likely not even appropriate for her age level. She just liked looking at the pictures. We started out with her first recommendation, Luke on the Loose (Toon). I recommend this book for early re...

Great Books for African American Children: Lola Reads to Leo
http://www.momsoap.com/2014/04/great-books-african-american-children-lola-reads-to-leo
Great Books for African American Children: Lola Reads to Leo. April 17, 2014. We picked up Lola Reads to Leo. A few weeks ago and Annika was very charmed by it. It’s a sweet, simple book, really for slightly younger kids, more for 3-4 year olds, but she still likes simple storybooks sometimes even though we are reading chapter books for most our nighttime reading now. Lola Reads to Leo is written by author Anna McQuinn. Pick it up here on Amazon or check it out at your local library, like I did. Syndicat...

Vast, seemingly never ending, gentle rocking like a cradle. Like the ocean it can rage like a northeaster. Love is like an ocean. Crystal clear Bimini blue with 100% visibility. Like the ocean depths, where no light has ever visited. Love is like the ocean. Wounds sting but heal quicker. Links to this post. Dead duck at 2am.

Guest Post: I’m Not Colorblind
http://www.momsoap.com/2013/11/guest-post-im-not-colorblind
Guest Post: I’m Not Colorblind. November 19, 2013. Today I’m hosting a post from a new internet friend, blogger, Only-Mama. She reached out to me after my post in Brain, Child. Intrigued at the thought of writing about racial topics as a white woman. Having written about race/racism once on BlogHer, this brilliant piece, A White Girl’s Thoughts on White Girls Acting White. Only-Mama said she wanted to give another try on my blog. I moved away, and later on in high school I had a few black friends, but no...

Guest Post: Awkward Silences
http://www.momsoap.com/2014/03/guest-post-awkward-silences
Guest Post: Awkward Silences. March 11, 2014. Today’s guest post is from one of my newer internet friends. She is a single mama, like me. She also reminds me of myself about a decade and more ago when I started trying to really understand racism. She is Only-Mama. On the topic of race. When you are a white girl like me, you say stupid things on occasion without realizing why you just said the wrong thing. For example, I had a coworker whose daughter was pregnant the same time that I was, so we talked...
