This morning, the kids decided that they wanted a BIG breakfast. They seem to go through stages where they eat almost nothing, and just when my husband and I start to wonder how they stay alive, they suddenly start eating like pigs! This morning they requested pancakes and sausage…and here’s where I cheat. Though I [...]
Breakfast this morning was very simple. My youngest daughter loves the Teletubbies (which I find extremely irritating, by the way) so I delighted her by making cinnamon “tubby toast” in the shape of a circle, with a smiley face made out of raisins.
My six-year-old still secretly likes the Teletubbies too, so she insisted that I [...]

Like Mother, Like Daughter. We are a family who live in Central Massachusetts. My husband is a Boston Irish Catholic from a big family. His upbringing was smack dab in the middle of respectable Catholic America, not untinged by 60s unrest.
I am about as different from him as you can get: I’m an only child, my parents are divorced, my father was an immigrant from Egypt, I was raised on the cutting edge of the feminist/relativist/sexual self-fulfillment/diversity revolution. My upbringing was smack dab in the middle of 70s hippie snotty know-it-all America, not untinged by anomie.
