I heard somewhere that people with light colored eyes, especially blue, are much more sensitive to the sun than others. I believe this to be true because Logan actually cries whenever he thinks the sun is too bright. He puts his head down, squinches his eyes shut, and refuses to move. He’s done this [...]

This is the same sweet smiling face who lied to me for the first time last night. I walked away from the dinner table to wash a couple of dishes and when I came back his mini-hamburger was gone. I asked if he ate it, he said yes. I later found it under the [...]

Did you know that Tuesday, February 23rd is National Pancake Day?! Shrove Tuesday (or as it’s more commonly called now – Fat Tuesday) precedes the season of Lent. Long ago, strict Lenten rules prohibited the eating of dairy products during Lent so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter, and other [...]
Kora and Logan adore Sesame Street. Last night we had a chance to go see Sesame Street Live – Elmo’s Green Thumb in Cleveland. When the kids found out they were going to see their favorite Sesame Street characters singing and dancing, they could barely sit through dinner. In fact, it was possibly the fastest dinner I’ve ever seen them eat! We [...]
Kora and Logan aren’t big fans of fish – they’ll eat it every now and then on a good day, but they love fish sticks. That’s why I was happy to hear that Van de Kamp’s and Mrs. Paul’s Seafood have concocted a few kid-friendly recipes for the Lenten season. These recipes will add some [...]

I moved to Cleveland after college, way back in 1998. I can’t believe I’ve been here for 12 years. Cleveland is such a diverse city I’ve had the chance to fall in love with all kinds of new foods: Pierogies Halupki Chicken Paprikasch But the one thing I’m truly missing are pazckis. When I first moved to [...]
After Logan was born, I was terribly sick for 4 months. I was in and out of the emergency room and even had a few hospital stays. At the end of the ordeal the doctor’s discovered I had chronic appendicitis. Even though my family and I insisted that’s what had been ailing me all along, the doctors hadn’t been convinced. It wasn’t [...]
Kelly Ripa cracks me up. I was at the gym yesterday and Regis and Kelly were on and Kelly was baking cookies and just having a ball. She’s just someone who enjoys life and is always smiling.

Do you remember the first time you used a computer mouse? I do. It was weird and felt disconnected. The pointer floated around the screen and I kept losing it off the sides of the window. I find it fascinating that Kora and Logan will never have that memory. By the age of 3 they [...]
The other day we had tortellini for dinner. Logan loved it, Kora not so much. They both enjoyed trying to say tortellini though and at one point Logan asked Kora: “Korwah, are you finished with your turtle pierogi?” Smiles. Did you like this? Share it:
