So, if you’re looking for the perfect Christmas (or any other occasion) gift, then here are some pieces to check out. When you order, mention that you saw Natalia’s work on Expat Mom...

From Blackpurls knitpickings, 3 days ago, Similar articles
I have never been fond of surprises. Â But, Tom keeps trying to change that...and he just might succeed! Â He entered a contest with BelmopanCityOnline and won a Mather's Day gift for me. Â Here is his winning entry:"Alida has been a great wife of 30 years, mother of two grown sons & now helps people who have been abused or rescued from sex trafficking. She has been giving to others all her life & deserves a month of receiving!"The prize is a month of free housecleaning...I...
Beauty and marketing

Sometimes it is possible to get things just horribly wrong. Â My dear children and husband gave me the luxury of a facial yesterday morning as a mother's day gift. Â 90 minutes of pampering (I can't remember when last I had a facial). Â It was great. Â But then after, the beautician sat me down and did the hard sales talk on me. Â Was I aware that I had wrinkles. Â Well, duh, shock horror, I'm 46, if I didn't there would be something rather un-natural about the matter....
I want to be just like my mom
From Tales of a Texpatriate, 4 days ago, Similar articles
Today is Mother's Day in the US. I won't go into my feelings on why or why not one day a year is even enough to tell someone like a mother thank you, or why in general days like this drive me nuts because it's so manufactured and false, and that I think if you love someone you should show them that love EVERYDAY, and if you want to send them a gift just SEND IT and don't wait for a retail-sanctioned holiday. Ok, well I kind of did go into my feelings on that, whatever, I'll stop. (gets off...

How many times have you heard someone say "this is the worst thing that could ever happen to me"? Â Maybe you have been the one to say it. Â But is it really true' Â I was watching a TV show last night and someone made that comment because they had made a simple mistake. Â No one was going to lose their life. They were just inconvenienced and she claimed it was the worst thing in the world. This past week someone we know found out that they have an invasive carcinoma. Â And...

From Nami-nami, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
The wild garlic season has began here in Estonia. For almost a fortnight I see people foraging for the pungent wild leaves in a nearby forest, and I've been picking a small brown paper bag full of leaves twice myself. The other day I was browsing on Pinterest for lovely wild garlic ideas, and came across this lovely recipe for wild garlic hummus on Shaheen's blog Allotment2Kitchen. I used my regular hummus recipe and simply added a generous handful of wild garlic leaves. The result was a...

As we were leaving Holbrook, AdventureMan made a sudden left turn and said “if I had a blog, I would want to blog this.” It’s a running joke; he gives me ideas, I say “Get your own blog, AdventureMan.” Truth is, sometimes he has really good ideas, and we both loved this one: There is room next to ‘your’ teepee to park your own car, next to the old timey classic car already parked in front:

A Rainy Day Chickpea and Spinach Curry
From Chez Loulou, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles
I think spring got it all wrong this year. March was beautiful, soft, sunny and warm. Which we totally deserved after the big freeze of February. So I figured the worst of it was over. Well, April has had other ideas. The wind has been blowing, the skies have been grey and and the rain has been splashing the windowpanes. Day after day after day. What to do'Â Invest in a sturdy umbrella and rain boots, try to stay warm and dry, grab a big pot and start making soups, stews, gumbo...

This is a shakedown trip for the new iPad. I love the way it travels, and that it is bigger than an iPhone for picking up e-mail, and I have a keyboard, so I can write. It is a lot harder to blog. It is harder to crop and manipulate photos, it is harder to integrate the photos into my blog entries. It was so much more difficult that I just didn’t do it. I had a lot of ideas and a lot of photos, but not enough time (you know how it is when you are traveling) to figure out how to get the...
