I am so stuffed! But I am so happy to report that we have installed, quite successfully, another weekly rhythm to our life: sunday morning walk. Ok, more like lunch time, because Sundays are pretty lazy around here, but still...some days we go on a bit of a hike, like this time, and some other days we go on super short ones around the hood. The point is to all walk together. I am loving it. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-7708535042314134085?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/7708535042314134085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=7708535042314134085' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/7708535042314134085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/7708535042314134085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2011/08/se-me-fue-julio.html' title='Se me fue Julio...'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CTlTNxULOPA/TlOwIEbtphI/AAAAAAAACsM/3-VM6C6oYHQ/s72-c/021.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-6846967565698646509</id><published>2011-07-15T06:25:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-07-15T06:25:51.752-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dailyrituals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='indoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='summer'/><title type='text'>A summer of Blueberries for Sal</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SkfBs14prLc/TiAw2s5zKvI/AAAAAAAACi8/L89XgloiNlg/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SkfBs14prLc/TiAw2s5zKvI/AAAAAAAACi8/L89XgloiNlg/s640/002.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This book, Blueberries for Sal, is in such heavy rotation, that I am going to have to reinforce the covers or it is not going to make it. The girls just love being read to, and this book was given to Adica as her end of school present, by her teacher. Needless to say the illustrations are so beautiful and we try to always have blueberries around when we are goin to read it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, we are surrounded by bluberry bogs, and cannot wait for them to be ready for picking. On every single trail, and around most parks, there are so many raspberry bushes that we really do not need to bring snacks, only something to drink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KKB3sR7yRE8/TiAw6W70xcI/AAAAAAAACjA/t3CJ3G2Y1qQ/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KKB3sR7yRE8/TiAw6W70xcI/AAAAAAAACjA/t3CJ3G2Y1qQ/s640/003.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;A la nena mayor le regalaron un libro, como fin de anio, "Blueberries for Sal", y es todo un exito con las ninas. Es la historia de una nina, Sal, que va con su mama a piscar arandanos y ella camina detras con su botecito de lamina, y claro que en lugar de juntar arandanos, se los va zampando de uno por uno. La mama entretenida pensando en las conservas y mermeladas que hara con los arandanos, y la nina entretenida en hartarse hasta rebotar. Se encuentran con una madre oso y su pequeno cachorro. Y aunque distintas, las historias van paralelas y se medio reborujan, al final todo mundo se va a su casa con su respectiva madre. Si le doy otra leida, les juro que me lo podre recitar de memoria toditito!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-6846967565698646509?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/6846967565698646509/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=6846967565698646509' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/6846967565698646509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/6846967565698646509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2011/07/summer-of-blueberries-for-sal.html' title='A summer of Blueberries for Sal'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SkfBs14prLc/TiAw2s5zKvI/AAAAAAAACi8/L89XgloiNlg/s72-c/002.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-4161439070435915665</id><published>2011-06-25T15:51:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-06-25T15:51:17.435-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outdoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='summer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flowers'/><title type='text'>En el ritmo del verano, que finalmente ha llegado!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HEAi_j9Zdgw/TgZV6jehe-I/AAAAAAAACew/dDvTV_20QcI/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HEAi_j9Zdgw/TgZV6jehe-I/AAAAAAAACew/dDvTV_20QcI/s640/023.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, indeed!

The girls have an earlier dinner than usual, then play outside for hours, then back inside for a bedtime snack of toast or cold milk and cereal, and then off to bed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FTL3Y65TPOY/TgZVlGapaiI/AAAAAAAACec/3RmPeDw5k3k/s1600/061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FTL3Y65TPOY/TgZVlGapaiI/AAAAAAAACec/3RmPeDw5k3k/s640/061.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4ROgoiNnAfQ/TgZWAFeZhxI/AAAAAAAACe4/4z46bJcsd78/s1600/041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4ROgoiNnAfQ/TgZWAFeZhxI/AAAAAAAACe4/4z46bJcsd78/s640/041.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OAH_K01JNjY/TgZWRc-KUQI/AAAAAAAACfI/bxF5e30-HKE/s1600/047.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OAH_K01JNjY/TgZWRc-KUQI/AAAAAAAACfI/bxF5e30-HKE/s640/047.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esto del verano nos esta pasando a encantar. Con tanta luz y hasta temperaturas calorosas, la madre naturaleza se encuentra en explosion total. Ahora que los dientes de leon han cedido de cierta manera, las flores silvestres han hecho su aparicion. Las ninas cortan una que otra, y adornan la super mesa que D me acaba de terminar. Cabe mencionar que la mesa era disque mi regalo de Navidad, se le paso a complicar el asunto, pero yo no me quejo. Al cabo y que ya tengo mesa nueva y bastante guapa. Soy de lo mas suertuda, verdad?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vwpGEfCkBpc/TgZWNnAcbUI/AAAAAAAACfE/eLke0Nn5rUE/s1600/058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vwpGEfCkBpc/TgZWNnAcbUI/AAAAAAAACfE/eLke0Nn5rUE/s640/058.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1EohicKo9fU/TgZWBgcH9JI/AAAAAAAACe8/BY3RBaNwZO8/s1600/021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1EohicKo9fU/TgZWBgcH9JI/AAAAAAAACe8/BY3RBaNwZO8/s400/021.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A duras penas me pongo una que otra pila y trato de mantener la casa con cierto estado de decoro. Ultimamente&amp;nbsp; me ha dado mucho por leer libros de literatura infantil. Libros muy interesantes que me proporcionan muchas historias que contarle a las ninas. Tambien me dado por aquello de la domesticidad y me la paso arreglando la casa, y lavando ropa (cuando no llueve por ejemplo). Hay que aprovechar al por mayor la explosion de luz y de vida, que vamos de bajada y en menos de lo que canta un gallo se nos convierte todo en Otono. Seguiremos reportando, aunque brevemente.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-4161439070435915665?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/4161439070435915665/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=4161439070435915665' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/4161439070435915665'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/4161439070435915665'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2011/06/en-el-ritmo-del-verano-que-finalmente.html' title='En el ritmo del verano, que finalmente ha llegado!'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HEAi_j9Zdgw/TgZV6jehe-I/AAAAAAAACew/dDvTV_20QcI/s72-c/023.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-1637173721124147933</id><published>2011-06-01T19:16:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-06-01T19:16:33.616-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outdoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gratefulness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='camping'/><title type='text'>We went camping</title><content type='html'>Y aqui esta el recuento en fotografias, que las imagenes dicen mas que mil palabras!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Is telling us to wait a little longer. In the mean time I've already cut a few dresses out of these patterns to make some much needed new duds for the girls, when the weather finally changes.

Las ninas entran y salen todo el renegado dia, cosa que yo aplaudo y apoyo en su mayoria, pero la entradera y salidera deja un rastro bastante obvio al que hay que darle&amp;nbsp;guerra inmediata. O de plano termino de nalgas con los resbaladones que me doy. Yo me la paso haciendo planes macabros de a donde le voy a dar al zacate con palo, para poner uno que otro gardencillo y sembrar flores...soy adicta&amp;nbsp;a tener flores en la casa (el otro dia hicimos unas de papel super guapas). ..si Dios nos da licencia hasta un pequeno jardin con vegetales y hierbas aromaticas nos plantamos, cabe mencionar que el jardinero es el marido, porque yo ahi si que no doy pie con bola.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En fin, mientras nos relamemos los bigotes saboreandonos las delicias y los olores que se avecinan (a ver a que hora!) por mientras me puse las pilas y corte uno que otro vestido primaveral para las muchachitas estas. En cuanto se pueda me pongo a coser hasta lo que no...tengo un santo monton de telas que les he ido comprando y ya es hora de que las corte. Que emocion!.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-8116194605903023721?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/8116194605903023721/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=8116194605903023721' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8116194605903023721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8116194605903023721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2011/04/and-so-it-begins.html' title='And so it begins!'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2W_28l2uWSo/TaOaeoEap9I/AAAAAAAACVc/Wz2p_EP-FjI/s72-c/019.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-5929443847969498337</id><published>2011-04-03T13:14:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-04-03T13:14:14.156-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='indoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='primavera'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crazyness'/><title type='text'>Days of Our Lives</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OnEM4ZepG1U/TZjE8GjRWdI/AAAAAAAACUY/36YLcYHL4YE/s1600/013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OnEM4ZepG1U/TZjE8GjRWdI/AAAAAAAACUY/36YLcYHL4YE/s640/013.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ha!...cheesy but true.

We like the house to be mostly clean so we can enjoy ourselves, and spend little time tidying up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-woBLikwv3t8/TV7-6FfPLII/AAAAAAAACQQ/I3TbHzNoeSc/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" j6="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-woBLikwv3t8/TV7-6FfPLII/AAAAAAAACQQ/I3TbHzNoeSc/s640/001.JPG" width="424" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;the little one dresses one of the "in house" dolls.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-awKvCOpYo2Y/TV7-_5s1NWI/AAAAAAAACQY/tK2miVUO8Lo/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="440" j6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-awKvCOpYo2Y/TV7-_5s1NWI/AAAAAAAACQY/tK2miVUO8Lo/s640/002.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;I do laundry, she hand washes the doll clothes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KA1qbHwfip0/TV7-3pL6MkI/AAAAAAAACQM/sUbdIsbTX2Q/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" j6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KA1qbHwfip0/TV7-3pL6MkI/AAAAAAAACQM/sUbdIsbTX2Q/s400/002.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;thank you &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://littleseedlings.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jane&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; for our beautiful dress form!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L9vURNRxEYM/TV7_ED0XWJI/AAAAAAAACQc/hT3LNNlAXmw/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" j6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L9vURNRxEYM/TV7_ED0XWJI/AAAAAAAACQc/hT3LNNlAXmw/s640/008.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Parte de la rutina o ritmo que llevo con la preciosa pizpireta, es dedicar una manana a una actividad de las dos. Tenemos nuestro dia de lavanderia, de costura, de hornear y nuestro dia dedicado al arte. Todas estas actividades suceden mientras la nena mayor acude a la escuela. Por lo tanto, los fines de semana y por las tardes, trato de hacer un poco mas de tiempo para pasar con ella y que no se me aguite. Los viernes, como ya les mencione, son los dias de limpieza, en preparacion para pasar todo el santo fin de semana tirando la mas flojera posible, sin tener que preocuparnos (mucho...) de que se nos vaya a caer la casa encima de la mugre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Que tengan un buen fin de semana!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-2430328156239895827?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/2430328156239895827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=2430328156239895827' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/2430328156239895827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/2430328156239895827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2011/02/la-rutina-de-la-semana.html' title='La rutina de la semana'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6_uYlCCsx0A/TV7-zFl9A4I/AAAAAAAACQI/rHj_OrkPE8I/s72-c/003.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-5309230788588980092</id><published>2011-02-14T17:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-02-14T17:50:18.295-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dailyrituals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='our new traditions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gratefulness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mama stuff'/><title type='text'>Cierto ritmo</title><content type='html'>Con esto de las maduraciones, los envejecimientos o el crecimiento espiritual, creo que he entendido dos que tres cosas acerca de la crianza de los hijos. No son revelaciones del tercer tipo ni nada por el estilo, simplemente realizaciones, momentos interiores de verdad y de luz. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Growing, getting old and "getting it" seem to go hand in hand...at least lately. I have been thinking about some deep moments of realization in regards to my child-rearing dynamic.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GqsuuR00BGM/TVnMI9gli5I/AAAAAAAACP8/poQgl7M6b4I/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" h5="true" height="424" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GqsuuR00BGM/TVnMI9gli5I/AAAAAAAACP8/poQgl7M6b4I/s640/006.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Uno de ellos, y el que principalmente me "ocupa", es el ritmo casero. El ritmo diario de las ninas, de la casa, de la estructure familiar. Gracias al cielo nosotros tenemos toda la autoridad de determinar el ritmo de esta, su casa, asi que el padre y yo nos hemos procurado darles a las hijas un ritmo y una dinamica constante. Quizas no la mas normal a ojos del mundo, pero la unica que parecia conformarse a las necesidades de nosotros. Ahora que vivimos aqui en Ontario, el ritmo semanal lo marca primariamente la dinamica de llevar a Adica a la escuela, y a partir de ahi todos nos acoplamos a lo que hay que hacer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of those realization moments, is the rhythm of our household. The daily rhythm of the girls, of our house, of our family structure. Thanks to the heavens we have all the authority to set up our own dynamic system, and so Dad and I have always strived to provide our daughters with a constant rhythm. Now that we live here, the weekly routine is more or less set by Adica's school activities, and surrounding this we make adjustments and do whatever has to be done.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-taLSMbpGizI/TVnMBjaAwlI/AAAAAAAACP0/-aAlAJY7-Es/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" h5="true" height="424" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-taLSMbpGizI/TVnMBjaAwlI/AAAAAAAACP0/-aAlAJY7-Es/s640/005.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Uno de los pequenos detalles que tengo para marcar en mis hijas una rutina que recuerden con carino, y que las ancle a su ninez es la rutina del fin de semana. Los viernes hago limpieza semi-general, limpio pisos, procuro tener terminada la mayoria de la lavanderia, lavo los banos y aspiro muy bien todas las areas que lo necesitan, revision del refrigerador de sobras de comida acumuladas durante la semana, etc. Lo principal es hacer cambio de sabanas ese dia, para que las ninas se despierten con esa sensacion de bienestar al despertar el sabado por la manana, y que de cierta manera se prolonga al domingo tambien. Despertar sabiendo que no hay que levantar a la hija para ir a la escuela, que las camas se sienten limpias, y que tenemos dos dias por delante para convivir y pasarnoslo de lo mas padre, es un sentimiento que espero les quede grabado. Las ninas se levantan antes que nosotros, juegan en su cuarto de juguetes, hacen su desorden y luego vienen a despertarnos cuando ya tienen hambre. Yo por supuesto que oigo todos sus va y vienes, pero no me levanto, las dejo a rienda suelta en su casa durante estas horas tempranas de la manana. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;One small detail that I have incorporated to cement my children in their childhood and to set the weekend routine is this: on fridays I try to do a general cleaning. I wash floors, try not to have laundry to do, clean bathrooms and vacuum carpet areas, toss week-old leftovers in the fridge, etc. The main thing is to change the bed sheets, so when everybody wakes up on Saturday morning, you have that wonderful feeling of waking up in a clean set of sheets and knowing that you don't have to get up to go to school or do anything at all. That we have two whole days to do as we please, together. I hope this wonderful morning feeling stays with them through out their lives, and it brings them comfort when they are much older. Usually, on Saturdays the girls wake up and play, and come to our room when they are hungry. I of course hear them, and know what they're up to but I don't get out of bed, I leave them to have their house to themselves in this special mornings.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poco a poco he ido adaptando ideas, adaptando dinamicas, adaptando lo que nos funciona, porque quiero vivir esta vida con un poco mas de conciencia, y con mucho mas agradecimiento por lo que benditamente se me ha proporcionado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_oTU9xh5sm4/TVnMFGiLD4I/AAAAAAAACP4/x2xTg6yMOnc/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" h5="true" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_oTU9xh5sm4/TVnMFGiLD4I/AAAAAAAACP4/x2xTg6yMOnc/s400/002.JPG" width="265" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EXCZaCQII9A/TVnMM1m_98I/AAAAAAAACQA/oQCzjIB9Nkk/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" h5="true" height="424" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EXCZaCQII9A/TVnMM1m_98I/AAAAAAAACQA/oQCzjIB9Nkk/s640/008.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Little by little I have been adapting dynamics, routines and small rhythms to our family life, because I wish to live a little more mindfully and also because I strive to acknowledge and be grateful for all that has been graciously given to me.

Como no tenemos necesidad de quitarnos las pijamas ya se imaginaran! L'otro dia se nos ocurrio ir a ver que ondas con el lago, estaba tecnicamente helando a -30 grados centigrados, y vieran visto aquello. Ay que friazo! Pero de lo mas hermoso. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTzmjIk7rlI/AAAAAAAACMk/F2igmy5Ysdg/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTzmjIk7rlI/AAAAAAAACMk/F2igmy5Ysdg/s640/005.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTzm2bDl2VI/AAAAAAAACNA/_-UZXb__6sE/s1600/016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" s5="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTzm2bDl2VI/AAAAAAAACNA/_-UZXb__6sE/s400/016.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I always hated winter. In Mexico winters suck. There is no snow, only hard, biting cold...and at some points of the day is so flippin' hot that you have to take your coat to stop sweating buckets; as soon as you do that, the winter wind comes and sweaps you off to the land of "forever head-cold".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTzm4hkIWVI/AAAAAAAACNE/sIhu8nJJpo4/s1600/021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTzm4hkIWVI/AAAAAAAACNE/sIhu8nJJpo4/s640/021.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Here, winters are what winters are supposed to be. White. Cold, unbelievably cold (but you dress for them and you warm yourself with a roaring fire). Snow makes it ten times more fun. There are all kinds of activities to partake in: skating (both on frozen lakes as well as homemade skating rinks in your grandparents' backyard...yeah!), sledding, skidooing, skiing, snow-shoeing, ice fishing (not for me sorry!), bird watching (amazing!), hot chocolate drinking, knitting (always), snow-angeling, snowball-fighting,snowman building, animal track guessing, etc...the list is endless and the fun is endless. I hope you are enjoying January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTzmnPOugBI/AAAAAAAACMs/lv5u8d0RKAQ/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTzmnPOugBI/AAAAAAAACMs/lv5u8d0RKAQ/s640/007.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;A mi esto del invierno me pasaba a refregar la existencia. Eso de ponte el abrigo, quitate el abrigo, sal desencampuchada, ah no! mejor abrigate otra vez...como que pasaba a dar muchisima flojera. Aqui en Canada los inviernos son como deben ser. Frios. Muy frios. Pero uno ya se la sabe asi que no te agarran desprevenida. Hay nieve, mucha nieve, lo que pasa a incrementar el factor "chido" a la N potencia. Hay muchas actividades invernales y sobre todo, tiene uno el pretexto mas grande del universo para recogerse en el sagrado hogar a tirar flojera y a tejer se ha dicho!.

This humongous thing consummed&amp;nbsp;Daddy for the&amp;nbsp; majority of his nights during last month, as the design took a life of its own, and we ended up having to call friends to help us bring it inside the house on Christmas eve. I am glad is inside...now if we could only squeeze it into the girls' playroom I would be completely happy. For now it stays in the living room, such a piece of conversation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTCp1sxoaDI/AAAAAAAACKw/xi2pmfvPMWw/s1600/051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTCp1sxoaDI/AAAAAAAACKw/xi2pmfvPMWw/s640/051.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTCpT7y2oTI/AAAAAAAACKY/dwC9J_PrKVI/s1600/037.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="222" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTCpT7y2oTI/AAAAAAAACKY/dwC9J_PrKVI/s320/037.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTCpVrLg-jI/AAAAAAAACKc/WZh5DWT_sCM/s1600/039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTCpVrLg-jI/AAAAAAAACKc/WZh5DWT_sCM/s400/039.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTCpJyqDOQI/AAAAAAAACKM/2Vmh5dUxvmA/s1600/033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTCpJyqDOQI/AAAAAAAACKM/2Vmh5dUxvmA/s640/033.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Now I think you get the idea...the parents spend a very silly amount of time, every night, playing with the dollhouse. The girls love it of course, but they seem to be very interested into piling all the furniture in one corner and getting inside themselves...so it is our duty, we the parents, to make sure that all the little items go back to their rightful place, every night. I can't honestly&amp;nbsp;decide which of us plays more with it. It is so much fun!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-8321394427678426609?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/8321394427678426609/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=8321394427678426609' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8321394427678426609'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8321394427678426609'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2011/01/jugando-la-casita.html' title='Jugando a la casita'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TTCpg1DdD4I/AAAAAAAACKg/jNzwV6ZaEcU/s72-c/049.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-63549579172357840</id><published>2010-12-30T12:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-12-30T12:25:40.259-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outdoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lake'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='winter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='discoveries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspiration'/><title type='text'>We love Winter</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbXlOHB7I/AAAAAAAACH4/0yGrlQdt4VM/s1600/024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbXlOHB7I/AAAAAAAACH4/0yGrlQdt4VM/s640/024.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;There is a certain rhythm to our days. A slow, a very slow rhythm. We wake up pretty late, we stay in our pijamas for a long time, we have breakfast almost at noon, the espressos and lattes keep circulating, the puffy slippers and the saggy bottoms wander around the house until we want to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbTOY8ckI/AAAAAAAACH0/zT30Jih9ydE/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbTOY8ckI/AAAAAAAACH0/zT30Jih9ydE/s320/011.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbbFtsNvI/AAAAAAAACH8/sbKAbO_-LTE/s1600/033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbbFtsNvI/AAAAAAAACH8/sbKAbO_-LTE/s400/033.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbgy-2uhI/AAAAAAAACIE/_AVGZ27oE0M/s1600/038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbgy-2uhI/AAAAAAAACIE/_AVGZ27oE0M/s640/038.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outside is brimming with life. All kinds of dormant life. The lake creates all kinds of shows for us to marvel at. The ice sparks the imagination and brings new stories to our bedtime routine. The generosity of those around us keeps on giving and we are just so grateful to be here, at this time, with these people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbeYRrFLI/AAAAAAAACIA/xRpZjoXLs2c/s1600/032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbeYRrFLI/AAAAAAAACIA/xRpZjoXLs2c/s400/032.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbkFUE6SI/AAAAAAAACII/zm5LvC0Y73I/s1600/041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbkFUE6SI/AAAAAAAACII/zm5LvC0Y73I/s320/041.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbq7IyFwI/AAAAAAAACIM/BUlh3jQooPg/s1600/052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TRzbq7IyFwI/AAAAAAAACIM/BUlh3jQooPg/s400/052.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ah pero que hueva nos cargamos! No, si es que somos de lo peor. No nos sacamos las pijamas sino hasta que nos llegan visitas...el peinado del dia consiste en treparnos un gorro y la cafetera a zumbe y zumbe todo el dia.

With the whole cleaning extravaganza that we are doing, one of my most important to do list points was to finish the duvet covers for the girls' beds. I finished one, and now I just have to gather strength to do the second one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ-HFxJo3UI/AAAAAAAACD4/g6DLH0JdLVs/s1600/079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ-HFxJo3UI/AAAAAAAACD4/g6DLH0JdLVs/s400/079.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are basically one giant pillowcase, and the backing is one big flannel sheet with one huge rectangle of one of the storytime fabrics (I think I bought it at Ikea last december!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ-G96Lfb2I/AAAAAAAACDw/JYZ70M0T5N4/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ-G96Lfb2I/AAAAAAAACDw/JYZ70M0T5N4/s640/009.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We also hung some of the girls' artwork and some prints I have bought for them in the past, but that so far used to sit with me in the sewing room, which also got some sort of nice look and clean up. We want our house to look and feel beautiful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ-HD24siWI/AAAAAAAACD0/e3TQfYgf5q8/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ-HD24siWI/AAAAAAAACD0/e3TQfYgf5q8/s400/010.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ-HIK5r5GI/AAAAAAAACD8/dUfKH7LGpv0/s1600/081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ-HIK5r5GI/AAAAAAAACD8/dUfKH7LGpv0/s640/081.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Part of our celebration&amp;nbsp;of the Winter Solstice is to give the house a major clean...like...major! And to sing in each room, burn a candle in each room for a little while,&amp;nbsp;decorate, burn incense and await in excitement this day. We don't do presents, we&amp;nbsp;go for a&amp;nbsp;walk, spend time together,&amp;nbsp;invite deep thinking while we are outside in nature, and at night, when the girls are in bed, Derek and I&amp;nbsp;write down&amp;nbsp;our wishes for the coming year and revise what we did this year. I meditate on this day. I normally don't do it a lot, every now and then when I find myself alone, I light some incense and a candle and try to do it. When I go for walks by myself down to the lake I always sit and contemplate the waves...but right now is freezing so I don't get to do it a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ-HM0vkhiI/AAAAAAAACEE/s1SIUwIoe9M/s1600/092.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ-HM0vkhiI/AAAAAAAACEE/s1SIUwIoe9M/s400/092.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I think that this year we will invite a few friends to make beeswax ornaments and candles with them. It seems appropriate to me to have some creative activity going on, especially related to "bringing light". Also, the beeswax will completely infuse the house and provide a true heaven of positive energy around us.

Even primitive people hung holly above doorways to encourage woodland spirits to enter their huts during the Winter solstice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ4dd_6VD_I/AAAAAAAACDc/seffJIjR0EI/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ4dd_6VD_I/AAAAAAAACDc/seffJIjR0EI/s400/005.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Early Christians believed holly had sprung up from Jesus's footsteps as he walked through the Holy Land preaching the gospel. The ancient Greeks believed ivy brought fruitfulness. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In medieval England, holly and ivy became thought of as Christmas greens, inspiring one of the loveliest carols. According to legend, the first person to bring holly into the house would rule the home in the coming year. Evergreen trees were considered a symbol of eternal life; they showed that no matter how hard the winter, the earth would come back to life in the spring. Fragrant pine and fir boughs were thought to bring good luck, even fertility.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ4dhch8ocI/AAAAAAAACDg/WBqp8wJ7Hd0/s1600/071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ4dhch8ocI/AAAAAAAACDg/WBqp8wJ7Hd0/s400/071.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;this year I made a wreath for the first time in my life :-)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mistletoe kissing balls were first popular during the Victorian period, but the ancients thought mistletoe was magical. Druids worshipped it, and Roman warriors used it as a symbol of peace. When opponents met beneath the mistletoe, they put down their arms, kissed each other, and declared a truce for the rest of the day. By the Middle Ages, even the most humble of English cottagers were hanging mistletoe in their doorway and kissing beneath it. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ4djMidRCI/AAAAAAAACDk/e1cWPivaA5c/s1600/074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQ4djMidRCI/AAAAAAAACDk/e1cWPivaA5c/s400/074.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Our Amaryllis is already blooming&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Later, frou-frou loving English Victorians designed kissing balls for the&amp;nbsp; mistletoe, and today in America we hang it in our houses without much thought to either the Victorians or the Druids. Every December, I weave several branches of mistletoe with a handful of dried flowers and attach the arrangement, with greens, to the top of my bed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Christmas in the Heartland, by Marcia Adams.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you are taking some deep thoughts or maybe a nice walk today, the fourth sunday of advent. In a couple of days we celebrate the Solstice in this house, and the coming of the Spirit of Christmas to Earth. So we are busy cleaning, preparing, and harmonizing our house for such events. Later in the week we will welcome our parents to spend with us Christmas. I am so happy and thankful that I get to have this time to reflect, rest and rejoice in the company of my family.

Ah! the cinnamon ornaments is the greatest thing! as soon as you approach the tree you are well received by the smell of pine and cinnamon...with a hint of appleasauce. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQWTdOblkzI/AAAAAAAACCg/_acpCcfag3c/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQWTdOblkzI/AAAAAAAACCg/_acpCcfag3c/s400/002.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQWToIVjtcI/AAAAAAAACC0/f505ylM5BGA/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="210" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQWToIVjtcI/AAAAAAAACC0/f505ylM5BGA/s320/011.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I really think they are beautiful so if you want to make some here is the scoop: 1 pint of appleasauce (drain it a little to get rid of some of the water content)&amp;nbsp;+&amp;nbsp;8 oz of powdered cinnamon. Mix both ingredients gradually, until you achieve the consistency of cookie dough. Pat with your hands one cup of mixture at a time into a 1/4 inch thickness, cut with cookie cutters, place on parchment or aluminum paper, and let dry in a warm place (3 to 5 days) turning every day. Don't forget to pierce holes in them so you can hang them up. They dry up nicely and smell delicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQWTiClzV4I/AAAAAAAACCo/J4pIZIU1KpM/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQWTiClzV4I/AAAAAAAACCo/J4pIZIU1KpM/s640/005.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQWTkTEv8qI/AAAAAAAACCs/XW8yEB8n6c4/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TQWTkTEv8qI/AAAAAAAACCs/XW8yEB8n6c4/s400/008.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Finnie made all our cinnamon ornaments and she is very proud of them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ahi les va la receta de los adornitos hechos con canela.&amp;nbsp;Medio litro (ma o meno) de pure de manzana + ocho onzas de canela en polvo. denle una coladita al pure, para quitarle un poco lo aguado, y mezclen a intervalos los dos ingredientes hasta que obtengan una masa tipo para galleta. ahora bien, trabajando con una taza de masilla, denle palmaditas cariniosas hasta que les quede mas o menos de 1 cm de espesor, corten con moldes para galleta, haganle orificios donde piensan colgar el adornito, y dejenlos secarse en papel aluminio&amp;nbsp;en un lugar calientito por como cuatro o cinco dias.

As Finnieluchis and Adicalomeli grow we are able to indoctrinate their little brains into this wonderful activity of "keeping track". I am not much of a scrapbook fan, or family album keeper, but &lt;em&gt;I do&lt;/em&gt; love to make things like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Esto de conmemorar el paso del Sr. Tiempo, de escribir las memorias, de celebrar el paso de las estaciones con fiestas o eventos, siempre me ha gustado pero ahora como que me pongo mucho mas las pilas a la hora de hacer algo al respecto. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TP_D-wU55wI/AAAAAAAACBU/1G_mtTyM-5Y/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TP_D-wU55wI/AAAAAAAACBU/1G_mtTyM-5Y/s640/008.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not fancy, it is totally recycled, and it was made by the girls. Basically, we cut out squares of newspaper, I wrote the numbers from 1-25 and the girls had fun polluting it with stickers and colouring the numbers. It helps them visualize how many more days until the "Longest Night of the Year" (the solstice)&amp;nbsp;and Christmas morning. They gave me ideas for activities they wanted to do, I drew a symbol for each&amp;nbsp;thing and we glued them onto the days that we thought were good for said activities. We strung it across our dining room and voila...times passes by. There are no gifts attached to it...and I like it that way. But it's full of fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Las ninas y yo hicimos un disque calendario de adviento. No es nada tipico ni elegante ni nada por el estilo...pero me gusta mucho mas asi. Cortamos cuadros de papel periodico, les puse el numero y las ninas pintaron cada numero con sus colores, luego le atacaron de calcomanias! A despues, les pregunte que si que querian hacer esta temporada y les hice un dibujo que representara dicha actividad (tipo una galleta el dia que hay que hacerle galletitas a Santa Claus...) y tambien se dieron vuelo con los colores. Pegamos los dibujos en los dias que se nos antojaron y san se acabo. Ahora las mujeres pueden visualizar cuantos dias faltan para el solsticio de invierno y cuantos dias para Navidad. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TP_EJCgCDtI/AAAAAAAACBc/a5l_nlqGtE4/s1600/018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TP_EJCgCDtI/AAAAAAAACBc/a5l_nlqGtE4/s400/018.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Our house looks more and more festive every day. Simple things that make us all get excited and realize that this year is coming to an end. We'll get our tree this week and then it's all lights and baking...I hope you too are enjoying the little tidbits of preparation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TP_EXQyCHAI/AAAAAAAACBo/mEKMHojtBQI/s1600/028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TP_EXQyCHAI/AAAAAAAACBo/mEKMHojtBQI/s640/028.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TP_EN2LO98I/AAAAAAAACBg/aw-tc2aWD6k/s1600/021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TP_EN2LO98I/AAAAAAAACBg/aw-tc2aWD6k/s400/021.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ahi la llevo con la limpieza de la casa y los arreglitos.

I am so busy right now that is a miracle I can still dress myself with some sort of decency. The girls are starting to wear mismatched socks and weird things when we go out, since I just don't have it in me to spend any time going through their clothes and stuff. As long as they are wearing warm clothes it's all fine and dandy with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Como diria la pagana de mi madre: virgen de la pata alzada! (se le va a caer el pelo cuando lea esto...eso se saca por andar de de lo peor!), ando con un ajetreo que ni yo misma se donde traigo la cabeza. El calenton de lena se me apaga a cada rato porque se me olvida atizarlo, las ninas traen calcetas disparejas, el marido se queja de que no hay ropa limpia y yo ando con retazos y pedazos de estambre por doquiers. Despues de la tormenta viene la calma me digo a mi misma. A los demas no les digo nada, que se aguanten.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TORGQyR8nUI/AAAAAAAAB_Q/tkASXxJpSM0/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" px="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TORGQyR8nUI/AAAAAAAAB_Q/tkASXxJpSM0/s640/002.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a small snow dump the other day and we had to go and investigate around the lake. We've never been there when there is snow around and it was funny to find out that even though our yard is covered in snow, nothing around the lake seems to have any. The girls found this very intriguing. Since it is very cold, the girls had to wear their snow suits to the lake, which I find pretty hilarious!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nos cayo una mini probadita de nievo l'otro dia y tuvimos que darnos un voltion por el lago a ver que rollo. Pues con la tremenda novedad de que nel pastel, no hay nada de nieve alrededor del lago y nosotras inundadas aca en la casa. Que feo caso. Aunque a las ninas se les hizo super padre que no habia nieve y se aplastaron a jugar en la arena congelada por lo que a mi me parecieron horas.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, we discovered an awesome trail around the lake, and we had fun imagining all sorts of magical creatures living in the nooks of the forest. Everything is the most amazing colour right now: lots of chartreuse, deep rust, silver grey&amp;nbsp;and gold. And the smells...I wish you could smell these photos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TORHGVQbvnI/AAAAAAAAB_s/JQBVB5z7I6o/s1600/047.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" px="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TORHGVQbvnI/AAAAAAAAB_s/JQBVB5z7I6o/s640/047.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TORHBzzzD5I/AAAAAAAAB_o/Q7Q2rsCtPPc/s1600/062.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" px="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TORHBzzzD5I/AAAAAAAAB_o/Q7Q2rsCtPPc/s640/062.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Estaria buenisimo que pudieran oler lo que nosotras olimos cuando nos dimos el voltion por el lago. No, es que la cosa esta de vivir aqui es una maravilla. Yo no me la acabo cada que salimos a caminar, se me hace que algo muy bueno he de haber hecho en la vida para merecer estar donde estoy.

I have sewn for her, crochet hats and mitts, and also knitted hats for her, but no actual garments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TNtfFfxKRFI/AAAAAAAAB-4/WV7Z8zcEOIc/s1600/039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" px="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TNtfFfxKRFI/AAAAAAAAB-4/WV7Z8zcEOIc/s400/039.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TNtfPTNiMRI/AAAAAAAAB-8/qjOhS46q-tE/s1600/041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" px="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TNtfPTNiMRI/AAAAAAAAB-8/qjOhS46q-tE/s400/041.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This, like most of my productions, came from the heart and from&amp;nbsp; my noggin. I did not follow a pattern and was actually surprised at how easy and rather fast (once I actually got knitting...) this piece came to be. I am so pleased and happy I made it for her, and the best part is she picked the yarn, took all the measuring stints with polite demeanor, and says she likes it. She wears it to school to keep her chest warm.

I wanted to mark her first day of school with something special, made by me, and so of course I had to give it a go. I think next year it's not going to be good, since she is going to have to lug around more stuff, but for this year it's perfect. I love it and she really likes it. It is loosely based on the pattern from this &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Intemporels-pour-enfants-Mod%C3%A8les-patrons/dp/2081209179"&gt;book&lt;/a&gt;. I took some of the dimensions but didn't really follow the instructions or cut the pieces the same...I have issues following patterns, it is much easier for me to see something and then try to assemble it whatever way my brain tells me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TNtf5S4Nv2I/AAAAAAAAB_M/cvfIgzOiMDk/s1600/080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" px="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TNtf5S4Nv2I/AAAAAAAAB_M/cvfIgzOiMDk/s640/080.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como la ven con el primer sueter/chaleco que me avente para el cumple de la mujers? la verdad es que deberia de tener sendas mangas, pero mi'acabo el tiempo y aunque todavia tengo dos bolitas del mismo estambre ya no hubo pa' mas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TNtf1SgnPAI/AAAAAAAAB_I/Unq-kFFJZcg/s1600/085.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" px="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TNtf1SgnPAI/AAAAAAAAB_I/Unq-kFFJZcg/s640/085.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Que cosas de la vida que la mayoria de mis pininos en terrenos creativos han tenido que ver con esta preciosa nina. Mi primer pastel. Mi primer muneca. Mi primer chaleco tejido. Le he hecho muchas cosas a lo largo de su corta existencia, pero el proceso de lograr "pininos" es lo que me motiva a seguirle creando mafufadas. Ahora nomas falta que le complete el atuendo con unos guantes o un gorrito con el estambre que me sobro...o mas bien, que no tuve tiempo de usar en su chaleco guapikiurs. Como les quedo el ojo? cuadrado a mas no poder, verdad? Me saque un diez! Tambien les dejo con fotos de la mochila que le hice a la nena para ir al kinder. Esa la saque de un libro &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Intemporels-pour-enfants-Mod%C3%A8les-patrons/dp/2081209179"&gt;frenchute&lt;/a&gt; que me pasa a encantar.

We seem to have chosen a lot of orange for everything lately, we are totally attuned to the changing season around us. We are a bit busy at the moment, preparing a few things and hopefully cleaning the house, for our little one's birthday party tomorrow. So I'll wish you an awesome weekend and we'll be back with photos of the event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLhNj6AvUqI/AAAAAAAAB9M/rwz_fNVsBBc/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ex="true" height="424" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLhNj6AvUqI/AAAAAAAAB9M/rwz_fNVsBBc/s640/022.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mientras nos preparemos para la pachanga de manana, los dejo con estas fotos y ahi los wacho la semana que entra.

We have successfully had a gorgeous holiday in this new hood, the first Thanksgiving of many to spend in Ontario I suppose. Also, we are gearing towards our first birthday party here next weekend and all is well. Today the weather is a bit more wintery but I love it like that. I love grey skies, windy afternoons, and warm hands. &lt;br /&gt;﻿﻿ &lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLMju9xjWAI/AAAAAAAAB8o/lF880rKccGw/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ex="true" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLMju9xjWAI/AAAAAAAAB8o/lF880rKccGw/s400/005.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A lot of natural remedies related material, since we were all sick&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿﻿﻿Pasamos el Dia de Accion de Gracias con los papas del marido, y nos dimos un atacadon que no se diga. Como siempre. Por supuesto. Ahora andamos un poco ocupadas con las planificaciones de la fiesta que viene, el cumpleanios de la hija mayuscula. Ayer le dimos la primer vuelta de periodico a su pinata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLMkL1R5OtI/AAAAAAAAB8w/8lBjm0AyTHY/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ex="true" height="265" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLMkL1R5OtI/AAAAAAAAB8w/8lBjm0AyTHY/s400/009.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Look who came to live with us, isn't he beautiful?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;I have so many knittings on the go is a bit embarrassing. I will take some photos this week so you can see what has been keeping my hands warm. Luckily for me the weather has been so nice that I have been knitting outside, letting those stitches soak a bit of sun, to be delivered to tiny hands on Christmas. I knit a lot while the girls play at the park, or like yesterday, they played for three hours by the lake, and I sat on huge log knitting away, looking up every so often to make sure they were still there (they were super absorbed in their games!)...my bum is very sorry today.&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLMlB72gNhI/AAAAAAAAB80/oedloI-rS3o/s1600/017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ex="true" height="424" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLMlB72gNhI/AAAAAAAAB80/oedloI-rS3o/s640/017.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The girls, two-level treehouse. La casita de las ninas en el patio&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿These images are a few of our new home. We have mismatched furniture, and some lucky treasures we have found. Once I clean and paint "my studio" I will show some photos of where I work, since there seems to be an interest in "creating" related material around here. Off to a new week and feeling very lucky. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLMl7XiyYcI/AAAAAAAAB84/J7yaZjdDuNs/s1600/027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ex="true" height="424" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLMl7XiyYcI/AAAAAAAAB84/J7yaZjdDuNs/s640/027.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;if you look up in our yard, this is what you see.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿Empezamos una nueva semana, muy contentas, abrigadas, tomando uno que otro chocolate Abuelita y acurrucandonos mientras leemos uno que otro libro.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-5099012508555642127?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/5099012508555642127/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=5099012508555642127' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/5099012508555642127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/5099012508555642127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/10/days-of-our-lives.html' title='Days of our Lives'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TLMjgeMzcPI/AAAAAAAAB8k/6gXQctVHF4E/s72-c/007.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-2646258804919712038</id><published>2010-10-05T07:08:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-10-05T07:08:09.423-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outdoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='random life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='otoño'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crazyness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autumn'/><title type='text'>Volviendo a la vida</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TKsiMxZatBI/AAAAAAAAB8U/fR4GkFpio4Y/s1600/039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" px="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TKsiMxZatBI/AAAAAAAAB8U/fR4GkFpio4Y/s640/039.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week the entire family was out of commission. We were all sick and fighting to stay alive. It sounds a bit dramatic I know, but that's how it felt. The weather was pleasant and yet the disposition was horrible. Luckily for all of us, we are back at it and enjoying the sunny fall days that comprise this moment of our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TKsikP_mxtI/AAAAAAAAB8Y/1DoAqU20TvM/s1600/067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" px="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TKsikP_mxtI/AAAAAAAAB8Y/1DoAqU20TvM/s400/067.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TKsiu2FalAI/AAAAAAAAB8c/UWDcZAC82Rk/s1600/070.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" px="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TKsiu2FalAI/AAAAAAAAB8c/UWDcZAC82Rk/s400/070.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En dias pasados caimos todos en esta familia. No se daba con ninguno. El asunto estaba de lo mas deprimente, aunque la verdad el tiempo estaba de lo mas padre, mucha luz y mucho sol. Ahora que nos sentimos un tanto mejor y que nos sentimos con un poco mas de energia para salir de la concha diaria, hemos disfrutado los dias llenos de luz que el Otono nos trae.

So those times when we don't even make it to the lake because they have found the perfect spot to make muffins or play with rock babies, I sit by the side of the road, freezing my bum on wet sand and watching them play.

Things seem to be falling into place and I am starting to feel a nice, easy paced, easy going mode for working. Dad is feeling better and girls seem to be thriving at the moment. All is well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TJduANcY_tI/AAAAAAAAB7U/q77HaM1DCDQ/s1600/170.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" qx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TJduANcY_tI/AAAAAAAAB7U/q77HaM1DCDQ/s400/170.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Now if I could only stop obsessing about the idea of tagging my dolls! With this whole CPSIA issue, I have to permanently affix some sort of labeling that states maker and origin to&amp;nbsp; my dolls...and all my "products" (papoose, clothes, headbands, etc). I just ran out of my usual labels so I ordered two different kinds in case I make small dolls again too. But I feel so bad of adding a label to the dolls, it feels like I am branding them in some sort of weird way and it hurts my feelings. I have no choice as is a new regulation in the States, and the new labels are designed to be pretty and not too obtrusive...we'll see. Maybe once I actually start using them I will like it. For now, I leave you, with a bit of a heavy heart at the idea of affixing a brand name to my dolls, but do expect to see a portruding label from now on.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-2252586429434954491?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/2252586429434954491/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=2252586429434954491' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/2252586429434954491'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/2252586429434954491'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/09/crisp.html' title='Crisp'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TJdsv1tnoSI/AAAAAAAAB68/ubfXPl0vkmY/s72-c/110.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-450612974562111513</id><published>2010-09-14T11:44:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-09-14T11:44:10.818-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mafufadas educativas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tuto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muñecas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dolls'/><title type='text'>Of Bonding and Doll play</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-wkE1bRuI/AAAAAAAAB6M/X00tX2NCtBw/s1600/043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="425" qx="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-wkE1bRuI/AAAAAAAAB6M/X00tX2NCtBw/s640/043.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been brought to my attention lately a practice now common amongst many parents: re-homing dolls. While I applaud&amp;nbsp;people’s non-conformity with something they are not willing to have sitting on a shelf, especially a handmade doll with a hefty price tag, it preoccupies me a bit when the underlying reason behind is the lack of bonding between said doll and their child. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonding between a child and a special doll is such a magical moment to witness. The doll that gets played with, carried around, loved and smudged is one of the most endearing visions of childhood. Whether a boy or a girl is doing the loving is of no importance, since we all have nurturing feelings that need to come out and need to be encouraged through doll play. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-w5OYcPDI/AAAAAAAAB6U/3h52YKepg1E/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="425" qx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-w5OYcPDI/AAAAAAAAB6U/3h52YKepg1E/s640/022.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have stated this somewhere, and is now being added to my new care instructions (which I will be emailing to new doll owners in order to save trees and non-renewable resources), that for bonding to take place there needs to be some specific environment aspects. If your child already has a strong attachment to softies, for example, it might take longer for this special relationship to develop. The doll needs to be available to them, sitting closely, always present, and little by little they will develop certain interest in it. This may take months! After all the trouble both you and the dollmaker went to make this doll a reality, why not give them the time for this to develop?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your child already has&amp;nbsp;three or six&amp;nbsp;natural dolls she or he plays regularly with, and they all are special to them, they all have their names and get a fair amount of consistent play, my case is why add another one? Why not concentrate the energies into taking care of the special members of the doll family, and create things for them? Why not instead facilitate the doll play in all kinds of adventures? Why bring another doll to the equation that might interfere with the ongoing special relationships your child has developed?.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-xEC_eOkI/AAAAAAAAB6c/UrYNGdyv6Mg/s1600/024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" qx="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-xEC_eOkI/AAAAAAAAB6c/UrYNGdyv6Mg/s400/024.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all have so much power over what we bring into our children’s lives, and bringing excess of any kind brings consequences that we might not want to face, now or later in life. Shariffa Oppenheimer stated this so brilliantly in her book Heaven on Earth, when she says: “toys in excess creates disregard”. And I would add that any kind of excess is not good at all (except when we talk about chocolate of course...or wool...!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, for the case of those children who do not have a doll, or already have dolls made out of plastic to which they are already attached. You can bring a natural doll in, and you can only hope for them to have this relationship but you can never impose it. Children WORK through their dolls, they test ideas of themselves and imitate what is happening around them, replicating their family life. They are amassing knowledge of their changing world, and their toys (not just their dolls) provide them the tools to joyfully do so. This is the underlying reason of it all. And our children make the call, they select the toys that spark their interest and the ones they want to lug around. All we can do is make special, natural, age appropriate and hopefully handmade toys available to them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-xc0Fn9fI/AAAAAAAAB6k/4sI9aa4t0uM/s1600/030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" qx="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-xc0Fn9fI/AAAAAAAAB6k/4sI9aa4t0uM/s400/030.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing I would love for you to consider is this, the “age appropriateness” of a doll to a child. I get asked this question at least twice a week on etsy. My opinion, which grows daily of course as I walk through life and see more and make more, is the following. If you really want to help your child then you need to bring in toys that are appropriate for their developmental stage in life. This way, not only are you giving them the right “tools” (toys) but also, you are only bringing into your life things with a purpose, and not surrounding your home with stuff that nobody plays with and nobody appreciates, and that usually just creates energetic noise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My opinion is that for infants, those cute babies under 1, they really don’t need a doll around them, other than to chew on it. So be sure to choose a doll made of materials that you can easily wash or that has intrinsic antibacterial properties (like things made out of wool or hemp most importantly), with a very simple expression and no fuss. A doll like this &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26679816@N02/4514269328/in/faves-figandme/"&gt;one&lt;/a&gt; or this &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/knechtruprechtdolls/4124836331/"&gt;one&lt;/a&gt; comes to mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-xp8NAdqI/AAAAAAAAB6s/77bcFN_yV2o/s1600/037.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="426" qx="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-xp8NAdqI/AAAAAAAAB6s/77bcFN_yV2o/s640/037.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a 1 to 2 year old child, based on my observation and limited experience, I would recommend a doll with full on clothes, that cannot be removed by the child, but that if they insist they can add on. Kids this age like to tot around a doll and drag it around a lot, it needs to be very squeezable and also very light in weight. No hair is important as it just gets in the way. Dolls that resemble them developmentally are also important so dolls that look facially like babies might become a better hit. Having a few play silks or thin blankets is a must as they love to cover their doll. Examples like this &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/28884658@N04/4981566760/in/contacts/"&gt;one&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or this&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlejennywren/4110354293/in/faves-figandme/"&gt;&amp;nbsp;one&lt;/a&gt; come to mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a child 2 and up then I recommend a dress up doll. But, a very simple dress up doll. A two year old would love to change a diaper, remove a hat, and put on a pair of pijamas or a little jacket. No buttons or laces or things like that, as they will cause a lot of frustration in your little one. Simple, roomy items that can be easily manipulated by your child are a must. And a note here, a doll with a full head of hair is still not appropriate in my humble opinion, as they tend to weight more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-0SufJYyI/AAAAAAAAB60/7uvkZ5bMcD8/s1600/025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" qx="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-0SufJYyI/AAAAAAAAB60/7uvkZ5bMcD8/s400/025.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For children 4 and up you can introduce a doll that has clothes with buttons, with a bit more of a sophisticated look. And by this I mean, the doll has pants, shoes, maybe a hat or a sweater, etc. Children at this stage are all about the add-ons, they know all the necessary items they need to go outside and so they request their dolls to have the same accessories. They want mittens, or shoes, or a toy for the doll. Size here is very important, as you need to consider the weight of the doll and your child’s height and weight. I know really tall three year olds and very petite little five year olds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, I don’t want to sound like a prude or know-it-all. Every child is different but most grow at the same pace, hitting the same milestones pretty much around the same time. All I’m talking for is the case of having patience. Patience for the dollmaker who is creating your doll, patience for your child to come to love this doll, patience for you to wait as your child grows and can play with their dolls, patience to introduce dolls on special occasions, patience to take care of these special members of your family and patience when you get asked three hundred times a day to help putting shoes on or a tiny vest. I truly believe we all have lost most of our patience and we all like immediate satisfaction, immediate response, immediate feedback, immediate knowledge. And good things come to those who wait!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would love to hear your opinion!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-450612974562111513?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/450612974562111513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=450612974562111513' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/450612974562111513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/450612974562111513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/09/of-bonding-and-doll-play.html' title='Of Bonding and Doll play'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TI-wkE1bRuI/AAAAAAAAB6M/X00tX2NCtBw/s72-c/043.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-3914015808029857985</id><published>2010-09-10T06:54:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-09-10T06:54:38.310-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outdoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TIoofn0EYCI/AAAAAAAAB5k/wu9gG59ZTJY/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="425" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TIoofn0EYCI/AAAAAAAAB5k/wu9gG59ZTJY/s640/006.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enjoying a beach lean to...Saboreandose un poco de arena en Neys&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pues nos hemos mudado de domicilio...de nuevo...osease, ya encontramos casa y nos hemos establecido.

The mornings are chilly, while we walk two houses down to take the oldest to ride the school bus, which is her favourite part of attending kindergarden (a few days a week). We used to have the school bus stop right on our house, and she loved watching all them children hopping on the bus. She asked me three million times if one day she could do that, and now is her chance!

They really took a toll on me and I was emotionally exhausted from making them. They came out of me like&amp;nbsp;a spurt of creative energy, immense and reckoned with. It is actually pretty weird, since I started drawing and designing them in December. Out of the blue, mid February, they just started sprouting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNRqpoMK9I/AAAAAAAAB1c/JX64wHZ9FrA/s1600/IMG_6688.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNRqpoMK9I/AAAAAAAAB1c/JX64wHZ9FrA/s400/IMG_6688.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Then time passed by and I anticipated the move to the lake. To this beautiful, marvelous, gigantic and misterious mass of water, ancient as can be, impervious, always sentient, always quiet. And I saw it coming, I saw a bunch of dolls made with the impressions of the lake. And I did. I did make them. And I am so glad I did. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNRyiIoj1I/AAAAAAAAB1k/bI16yGGDbyk/s1600/IMG_6694.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNRyiIoj1I/AAAAAAAAB1k/bI16yGGDbyk/s400/IMG_6694.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;A small collection of four ladies, ready to play. These dolls taught me so much and I am forever grateful to them, for having allowed me the medium to express this creative energy and this longing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNR7ggkhiI/AAAAAAAAB1s/jZkBOYGYXeA/s1600/IMG_6697.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNR7ggkhiI/AAAAAAAAB1s/jZkBOYGYXeA/s400/IMG_6697.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am finding it hard to describe what living here has been and is doing to my psyche. I am very much aware of the healing powers of water, and water in these amounts has to be revered. Contemplated. Meditated upon. These waters are literally shaping my children, my family, my soul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNSFjZ4tzI/AAAAAAAAB10/WDuus7rXX1s/s1600/IMG_6700.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNSFjZ4tzI/AAAAAAAAB10/WDuus7rXX1s/s400/IMG_6700.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all get curative progress when we walk along its shore, when we smell it.

I was most impressed by the work of my dear friend, and etsy colleague, &lt;a href="http://littleseedlings.etsy.com/"&gt;Jane&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/littleseedlings"&gt;Little Seedlings&lt;/a&gt;. She told me to go and try it when I was drooling over her &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/47685718/ocean-waves-nuno-felted-shawl"&gt;new&lt;/a&gt; line of &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/47566107/prairie-love-handfelted-shawl?ref=v1_other_2"&gt;shawls&lt;/a&gt;. So I tried and it is awesome to "felt" onto fabric.I am officialy hooked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNUljfIBnI/AAAAAAAAB2M/RBdJsRPilUk/s1600/IMG_6711.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNUljfIBnI/AAAAAAAAB2M/RBdJsRPilUk/s400/IMG_6711.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also did my first step into dying fabric. So cool. I love the way these dresses turned out and I am sure I will try dying some more down the line. It is so incredibly empowering to be able to just dye the fabric you want in the colour you want it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNU2wDGCDI/AAAAAAAAB2U/m1uL-QecGeU/s1600/IMG_6735.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TGNU2wDGCDI/AAAAAAAAB2U/m1uL-QecGeU/s400/IMG_6735.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;And a little homage to an artist I've admired for a long time. &lt;a href="http://resurrectionfern.typepad.com/"&gt;Margie&lt;/a&gt;, aka &lt;a href="http://knitalette.etsy.com/"&gt;Knitalette&lt;/a&gt;. She did a series of these&amp;nbsp;type of &lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/knitalette"&gt;necklaces&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;and even some with fish tails. I added these rocks to the dolls as a little token from Lake Superior. I hope they accompany them in their travels.

There is no going around it and I am finding it very hard to be present in anything I do, my mind drifts away and dwells on the same old, same old troubles. Talking to my Mother brings so much peace to my heart and going outside,&amp;nbsp;to play in nature with my girls calms my brain and re-establishes that which has been unsettled. I love it here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TE-Gy_ip4nI/AAAAAAAAB00/SNANsybqlos/s1600/IMG_6219.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" hw="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TE-Gy_ip4nI/AAAAAAAAB00/SNANsybqlos/s400/IMG_6219.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Una que otra merma me trae preocupada y me saca de la paz, que a duras penas logro obtener a base de someter el cerebro a dieta. No hay mucho que pensar al respecto, pero en cuanto me siento a hacer cualquier cosa mi cerebro vuelve a las andadas y se vuelve a poner a darle como burro a los mismos pensamientos calamitosos. Hablar con la mia madre me calma a la N potencia, y salir a jugar con las ninas en las vastas faldas de la madre Naturaleza me llena el corazon de felicidad y restable aquello que ha sido enturbiado. Me gusta donde vivo.

Life is full of misteries and discoveries. If we open our eyes, there is always something there for us, waiting to be revealed. It is sometimes so hard to remain calm and optimistic, but been surrounded by this amazing explosion of Life makes one very humble and enthusiastic...we must remember "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TE-IEHW8cUI/AAAAAAAAB1E/HSQc40M6rcY/s1600/IMG_6231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" hw="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TE-IEHW8cUI/AAAAAAAAB1E/HSQc40M6rcY/s400/IMG_6231.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-4628349156422680262?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/4628349156422680262/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=4628349156422680262' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/4628349156422680262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/4628349156422680262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/07/compendio-de-naturaleza-viva.html' title='Compendio de Naturaleza Viva'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TE-FhdXcm4I/AAAAAAAAB0M/SDp_oT7NUfY/s72-c/IMG_6194.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-8095775012344936005</id><published>2010-07-19T06:11:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-07-19T06:11:17.334-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outdoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='discoveries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='summer'/><title type='text'>Time flies by</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TEQ-noh-RcI/AAAAAAAABzs/SmOUCdoj3DY/s1600/IMG_5871.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" hw="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TEQ-noh-RcI/AAAAAAAABzs/SmOUCdoj3DY/s400/IMG_5871.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is no surprise that I always feel time slipping from my fingers...but lately, things have slowed down so much around here that I feel we're ve been here forever...and never want to leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Casi se me acaba el mes de Julio y yo sin reporte, que feo caso! La verdad es que aunque la vida nos da vueltas a mil por hora, aca la cosa ha disminuido velocidades y siento-presiento que tenemos cien anios de soledad por estos rumbos, y jamas nos queremos ir de aqui.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TEQ-3fFYwUI/AAAAAAAABz0/kaG2PDUQrpA/s1600/IMG_5960.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" hw="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TEQ-3fFYwUI/AAAAAAAABz0/kaG2PDUQrpA/s400/IMG_5960.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been pretty busy with the store updates and I am about to start "unveiling" all the long-awaited custom dolls that I have been finishing. I just like to take a little bit of time to see them in their full glory before I snap photos of them. I think working for two months on a doll it has been my record, but they are truly lovely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;La tienda me trae ocupadisima, a tal grado que ya no se ve el piso del cuarto de costura. Tendre que dar una buena organizada (proximamente) y volver a ordenar telas y estambres y cabello para las munecas porque ayer me estaba dando cuenta, mientras terminaba unas munecas ordenadas hace quinientos anios, que me voy a quedar "sin tela que cortar"...que calamidad!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TEQ_AhSZd2I/AAAAAAAABz8/GxdOFtxcvnQ/s1600/IMG_5962.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" hw="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TEQ_AhSZd2I/AAAAAAAABz8/GxdOFtxcvnQ/s400/IMG_5962.JPG" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Summer is in full swing here. We took the girls to the nearby park for a mid-morning run and tumble, and we discovered the entire park is surrounded by wild raspberries! What a fortunate discovery! Specially since I have been reading lots of books on edible wild plants and I am always pondering which of the lovely plants we encounter we could eat if need be. Seeing that the raspberries are ripening we will be heading to camp (one more time) to pick all the blueberry bushes around it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pero no desmayen, aun con los vienes y vaivenes del changarro, yo he decidido pasarmelo bien chido. Por ejemplo, ayer llevamos a las ninas a que se dieran una despejadita a media manana al parquecito cercano, y cual seria nuestra sorpresota que descubrimos que dicho parquecito esta rodeado de arbustos con frambuesas silvestres! Josu...que panzada nos hemos dado! Yo, la verdad he estado leyendo uno que otro librillo acerca de plantas silvestres que se pueda uno empanzonar, y ando con el ojo pelon a ver cuales me encuentro.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TEQ_Nk9Bs9I/AAAAAAAAB0E/fQuYI0SCEc8/s1600/IMG_5866.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" hw="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TEQ_Nk9Bs9I/AAAAAAAAB0E/fQuYI0SCEc8/s400/IMG_5866.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love this feeling of a busy life. And I am enjoying the summer to no end. Hope you are doing the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lentos, pero seguros, seguiremos reportando desde esta esquina del mundo, llena de encanto y de magia. A veces me tengo que pellizcar para ver si es cierto que vivo donde vivo, y que estoy rodeada de toda esta belleza natural.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-8095775012344936005?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/8095775012344936005/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=8095775012344936005' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8095775012344936005'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8095775012344936005'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/07/time-flies-by.html' title='Time flies by'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TEQ-noh-RcI/AAAAAAAABzs/SmOUCdoj3DY/s72-c/IMG_5871.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-5333472456009005877</id><published>2010-07-05T13:42:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-07-05T13:42:08.442-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='discoveries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='craft'/><title type='text'>The Old Life</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;An appreciation for the way things were, for handmade, for slow-paced living.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TDIwAjb5GYI/AAAAAAAABxc/vS9JBqgJwbg/s1600/IMG_5548.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" rw="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TDIwAjb5GYI/AAAAAAAABxc/vS9JBqgJwbg/s400/IMG_5548.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;birch bark canoe at Fort William&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TDIwWFXK25I/AAAAAAAABxk/szUHtjGz9_w/s1600/IMG_5552.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" rw="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TDIwWFXK25I/AAAAAAAABxk/szUHtjGz9_w/s400/IMG_5552.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Roaring cannons.

We came back smiling,&amp;nbsp;full of supplies&amp;nbsp;and ready to rock. I just started making a few things with birch bark and will try to document the process so you can make some too. The dolls will obviously benefit from my birch bark obsession. Here comes July!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Como les quedo el ojo con el viajecito que nos pegamos? La verdad que regresamos super contentos y andamos con mucha energia. Sera que el mes de Julio pinta bien, sera melon o sera sandia? Ahi los dejo con estas fotos tan perrorras que me avente y me reporto a la mayor brevedad con una serie de creaciones hechas con la corteza del arbol mas guapo.

The girls and I have visited it often last week and got to meet so many new wild flowers not available on our daily walks back in the Kootenays: we now have buttercups, daisies, buebells, bumblebee flowers (for lack of a scientific name for now), indian paintbrush, queen anne's lace and of course trillium. Of course that with this super moist environment and abundance of dead trees we have found some serious mushrooms thriving around this neck of the woods. We even saw ladyslippers on our last visit to Rainbow Falls...anyways...here are a few sights from our new hood.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TCipScp0AqI/AAAAAAAABw8/VkFVmjz4NF0/s1600/IMG_5200.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" ru="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TCipScp0AqI/AAAAAAAABw8/VkFVmjz4NF0/s400/IMG_5200.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TCipuUV-dYI/AAAAAAAABxU/l-Bvc1QsDoM/s1600/IMG_5215.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" ru="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TCipuUV-dYI/AAAAAAAABxU/l-Bvc1QsDoM/s400/IMG_5215.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TCipd32H2aI/AAAAAAAABxE/k-mC2l5w294/s1600/IMG_5206.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" ru="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TCipd32H2aI/AAAAAAAABxE/k-mC2l5w294/s400/IMG_5206.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Ahora que nos hemos mudado de domicilio, las ninas y yo hemos descubierto una serie de flores nuevas que da emocion!

To bits and pieces. I am so proud of myself for having made her, but not just for that, but for having the kind of friends that make things like this possible for me now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Primero que nada dejenme les digo que esta cosa tan preciosa es una adoracion de mi Corazon! Me siento super orgullosa de ella, pero mas que de haberla creado, del hecho de que tengo amigas con las que tengo este tipo de intercambios! Les presento a la Senorita Pastel de Chocolate (el nombre es en frances y suena super frou-frou!)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May I present you Mademoiselle Gateau au Chocolat Fondant. I couldn’t think of a better name...seriously. &lt;br /&gt;I don’t name my dolls, and is not for lack of imagination...obviously. Derek and I have had this discussion many times, how naming your creations (like naming sweaters...or soups in his case) actually brings you a little bit closer to what you make. I think I like my dolls to have that blank space, you know? I leave that energy in blank so whomever ends up with them has that bit of space to name them...I do believe words carry with them a specific energy, and if I choose a name for the dolls I create then I feel like I am charging the doll with that energy and it might not be suitable for the little person they will encounter. So I leave their names blank. But Oh! No!! Not this time. Not for this doll.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWg8paSJdI/AAAAAAAABus/1qnoiCyWwR0/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWg8paSJdI/AAAAAAAABus/1qnoiCyWwR0/s400/008.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yo nunca nombre a mis munecas. Sea que Derek y yo hemos tenido ya varias conversaciones al respecto, de como cuando nombras lo que haces como que te acercas mas a ello...pero yo creo firmemente en que los nombres cargan cierta energia, y que tal si escojo un nombre que nomas no resuena con la pequena personita que terminara jugando con la muneca? Mas vale irse por lo seguro y dejar este espacio en blanco para que el futuro nino y su muneca puedan realmente sintonizarse.Pero como esta muneca no es para un nino o nina...bueno, al menos no literalmente, a esta si que le puse nombre!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWgbOwl5kI/AAAAAAAABuc/oREiHoRjeaA/s1600/027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWgbOwl5kI/AAAAAAAABuc/oREiHoRjeaA/s400/027.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me first tell you a bit of background. Last year I had the wonderful luck of meeting &lt;a href="http://littlejennywren.blogspot.com/"&gt;Jenny&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://moonchildhandworkstudio.blogspot.com/"&gt;Berrie&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.starrysheep.com/crafty"&gt;Meike&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://frokenskicklig.blogspot.com/"&gt;Juliane&lt;/a&gt;, online of course...I can only dream of meeting this amazing women in real life!. And so we write each other, offer help and the like. And Juliane, the mastermind that she is, had this idea of having a dollmaking challenge. And so this year we finally got around to it. We voted on so many awesome themes...it was a shame some of those didn’t get chosen...but it was really marvellous that Miss Berrie (now Mrs Hamby of course!) had offered this as a theme: My Favourite Dessert. And that’s what has been exciting my imagination ever since. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWidMf456I/AAAAAAAABu8/xVhFwmymaKg/s1600/mosaic-chocolate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="202" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWidMf456I/AAAAAAAABu8/xVhFwmymaKg/s400/mosaic-chocolate.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Primero les dare el antecedente. El ano pasado tuve la bendicion de hacerme compita de Jenny, Berrie, Meike y Juliane. Y esta ultima, con esa mente tan brillante que tiene, sugerio que nos pusieramos un reto...asi tipo competencia. Y pues con las mermas de la vida apenas tuvimos chanza de darnos un calis este ano. Uff! La de temas que sometimes a sugerencias...al final se elegio uno sugerido por Berrie: My Postre Favorito. Y pues...inmediatamente vino a mi la vision de esta criaturita.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWizeb8OeI/AAAAAAAABvE/jjqN_jaRtYQ/s1600/018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWizeb8OeI/AAAAAAAABvE/jjqN_jaRtYQ/s400/018.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, I had never made a cake in my life. But now, being the mother of two little girls I had to step up to the challenge. My husband is a wonderful chef, and so there really is no need to try to impress anybody over here...but I am the Mom, and so I felt I should take charge of their birthdays somehow. And the somehow translated into attempting my first ever, not-out-of-a-box, cake. I turned for help to &lt;a href="http://orangette.blogspot.com/"&gt;Miss Orangette&lt;/a&gt;, because...how can you go wrong when you turn to her? And so, I chose, partly because of her description, our now-famous (in this house and in many I imagine) her recipe for the &lt;a href="http://orangette.blogspot.com/2004/08/and-then-cake-came-forth.html"&gt;Gateau au Chocolat Fondant&lt;/a&gt; as my first-ever cake. For a three year old birthday party. I know. Crazy does not even begin to describe it. The thing has espresso in it. It is heaven in a circular-chocolatey-richness-moist form. And it was so not appropriate and whatever...but I figured, at the time, that birthday cakes come only once a year, and so you should indulge. And boy! is this ever an indulgence or what?. The girls love their now staple chocolate birthday cake...and I love that I get to eat most of it for at least two or three days!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWjQ36xpCI/AAAAAAAABvM/vejoQeSgJt0/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWjQ36xpCI/AAAAAAAABvM/vejoQeSgJt0/s400/007.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“ora lo veran” dijo mi abuelita...como ustedes ya sabran, yo jamas habia hecho un soberano pastel en mi vida. Pues con aquello de que al marido se le dam as que bien la cocinada, aqui como que no hace mucha falta esmerarse en ese ambito. Pero, con el cumpleanos numero tres de Adica yo senti que me tenia que poner las pilas y apropiarme del papel de madre, al menos en este tipo de ocasiones. Y por ello se me ocurrio que la mejor forma era que todo el soberano arguende dependeria de mi y nada mas de mi (por aquello de que luego tiro barra y me voy por la tangent!). Asi que opte por una receta de &lt;a href="http://orangette.blogspot.com/2004/08/and-then-cake-came-forth.html"&gt;Orangette&lt;/a&gt;, y Jesus bendito! Le atinamos y nos sacamos la loteria todo al mismo tiempo!A tal punto que cada cumpleanos que acontece este pastelito es el numerito que me aviento...como les quedo el ojo?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So having told you a little about the inspiration behind this doll, &lt;a href="http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2008/10/no-por-mucho-madrugar-amanece-ms.html"&gt;my first ever cake&lt;/a&gt;, which catapulted me to the big leagues I wanted to believe, let me tell you that said birthday event was also the occasion of making my daughter her first doll, and &lt;a href="http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2008/10/tan-bueno-el-pinto-como-el-colorado.html"&gt;my first doll&lt;/a&gt;...like...ever. How appropriate to name this doll after this event of my life.

But I will leave that&amp;nbsp;for you to absorb...and for whoever gets her to enjoy! Ah!! Because the BEST part of the challenge is: we are going to raffle the dolls amongst us, which means I get to enjoy one of these beautiful dolls, for like...forever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWlQYwOoiI/AAAAAAAABvc/_211NjpzRzo/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWlQYwOoiI/AAAAAAAABvc/_211NjpzRzo/s400/020.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Y a mi ni me vengan a pedir que les describa a la muneca porque...puff! aqui en la casa ya no me aguantan...me la paso paseandola por todos lados y comentando esto o aquello...Derek esta a punto de escondermela para que ya me tranquilice. Lo mas padre del asunto este de la semi competencia...es que nadie gana y todas ganamos al final. Asi es. Al final nos vamos a rifar las munecas entre nosotras...asi que prontamente sere la depositaria de la bellisima creacion de alguna de estas benditas almas, que han tenido la paciencia y la fortuna de jugar conmigo a hacer munecas! No si les digo...pide y se te dara!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWlvTO7A7I/AAAAAAAABvs/aIqiA0-RNjs/s1600/017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TAWlvTO7A7I/AAAAAAAABvs/aIqiA0-RNjs/s400/017.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much girls for playing with me.

Y me paso a encantar. Algo que significativamente me motivo es algo que ella escribe, acerca de otro libro co-escrito por Vicky Robin, titulado "Your Money or Your Life", en donde los autores le explican a uno como obtener "inteligencia financiera". Y es que en estos tiempos de comercialismo desbocado esta canon ponerse los pantalones y tomar la rienda de la vida propia! A donde hemos venido a parar!! Pero bueno, como les iba diciendo, esta frasecita me ha estado dando vueltas en la cabeza: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I just finished reading a book that my dear friend Annie lend me: Living Simply with Children, by Marie Sherlock. And I loved it. The book is absolutely wicked,&amp;nbsp; but there was something that touched me deep deep down. She quotes Vicky Robin, in her co-authored&amp;nbsp; book "Your Money or Your Life", a book that teaches you how to obtain financial intelligence. And the thing is, in these times of unstopped commercialism it is so hard to regain control of our lives! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TALEj5OQ_1I/AAAAAAAABtk/Iqmsa063Hf4/s1600/031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TALEj5OQ_1I/AAAAAAAABtk/Iqmsa063Hf4/s640/031.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"Uno tiene cierta cantidad de vida, es decir, todos venimos a esta vida con cierto numero de horas, no hay mas. Y uno, cambia ciertas horas, dias o equis, de la vida que nos ha sido proporcionada...uno cambia esa vida por dinero que uno ocupa para pagar por cosas que uno necesita para vivir. Asi es como subsistimos los seres humanos. Ahora bien, nosotros decidimos como gastamos ese dinero, en que gastamos "la vida" que nos ha sido proporcionada." osea que si uno&amp;nbsp;empieza por tomar en cuenta el numero de horas que uno invirtio en obtener ese dinero en co-relacion con lo que uno requiere o necesita de comprar pues como que no casca. Es decir, empieza uno a ver las cosas de manera en que la mayoria se convierten en "fruslerias". Y luego viene&amp;nbsp;uno a ver que,&amp;nbsp;si empiezo a ser&amp;nbsp;mucho mas inteligente y gasto mi dinero en cosas que realmente me sirvan mucho mas tiempo, que sean&amp;nbsp;mejores para mi y no me ocasionen mermas, entonces tendre menos necesidad de pasarme tantas horas trabajando/gastando las horas que tengo de vida en obtener dinero a cambio de ellas.&amp;nbsp;Es decir, le cae a uno el veinte que debe uno de trabajar el menor numero de horas posibles para poder disfrutar el mayor numero de horas/dias que uno pueda en esta vida...porque cuando se acaba, se acaba. &amp;nbsp;Es decir, que uno debe de vivir con lo necesario y pasar la mayoria del tiempo disfrutando de la vida en este mundo. Y no se trata de viajar a China y comprarse ropas nuevas para disfrutar...se trata de tener el tiempo de sentarse con los amigos, de escribir cartas, de abrazar a las hijas, de cocinar con tranquilidad, de limpiar la casa de uno para que no se le caiga encima, de tejer pian pianito, de acostarse en el pasto a ver las nubes pasar...si uno tiene que trabajar como burro para mantener un estilo de vida que nomas no casca entonces cuando va a uno a sentarse&amp;nbsp;a nomas "ser"? Y que va a pasar cuando uno este a punto de morirse? Va uno a decir, a como me hubiera gustado trabajar mas para haber tenido mas dinero para haber podido comprarme aquella tarugada de la que ya ni me acuerdo? Lo dudo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TALFENZ4l0I/AAAAAAAABts/U_heGrAprqk/s1600/057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TALFENZ4l0I/AAAAAAAABts/U_heGrAprqk/s640/057.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Anyways, what she mentions is something like this: we are all given a certain amount of life. Nothing more. We all come to this Earth with an exact numer of hours to be lived, right? And so, in this day and age and culture, we exchange these precious hours of life for money, which we use to pay for things we need. And so, I am thinking: wait a minute, so...everything I purchase is literally being purchased with "hours of my life". I am spending my actual "life" to obtain these&amp;nbsp;silly things. Because in such light, almost everything becomes superficial.&amp;nbsp; Now, if we become much more intelligent in the ways we spend our hard-earned (ouch!) money, choosing things that will last us longer, choosing stuff that will be better for us, then we have to work less, or spend less hours of our lives "making a living" and instead actually LIVING. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y luego yo vengo a razonar, no estaria padrisimo que las muchas o pocas horas que uno tenga que invertir de la vida propia, en obtener dinero a cambio, no estaria padrisimo si uno hiciera aquello que a uno le gusta? Que a uno le pagaran mucho o poco por aquello que uno disfruta haciendo? Y si uno se aprieta el cinto y se deja de pendejadas puedo uno vivir de manera sencilla pero realmente "vivir"...no nomas "ganarse la vida", sino en realidad VIVIR. Si uno necesita de menos dinero para vivir porque uno ha hecho ciertos cambios, casa mas pequena, un carro en lugar de dos, una escuela menos cara o publica, uno tiene un jardinsote de donde cosecha la mitad de lo que uno se come, etc. entonces uno tiene que trabajar menos horas.&amp;nbsp;Y que hace uno con todo ese tiempo libre? Bueno, pues las ideas me llenan la cabeza: uno aprende cosas nuevas, lee libros, se va de paseo con la familia, le da muchos besos al marido comprensivo, cocina cosas deliciosas, da mantenimiento a las propiedades para que no se le frieguen a uno y tenga uno que pagar "horas de vida" para repararlas, le hace a la jardineada, hace ejercicio para tener una vejez saludable (y para dejar de sentirse como ballena varada en la playa!), le ensena a las hijas cosas padres, esta de "cuerpo presente" en&amp;nbsp;el crecimiento de las princesas para que no se le vayan los frijoles con el caldo, etc. &amp;nbsp;Definitivamente que esta es la manera en que yo deseo vivir. Ahora nomas me falta aquello de la "inteligencia financiera" y aquello de "apretarse el cinto y dejarse de pendejadas". Ahi les contare como me va.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Because then, you eventually with the kind of reasoning I do, end up somewhere over here: wouldn't it be awesome if you spend *some*&amp;nbsp;hours of&amp;nbsp;your life doing something you actually enjoy doing and in the process obtaining some money for it? wouldn't be awesome if you had less *needs* for which to actually use money, and less things to take care of (for which you use money), and a lifestyle that requires less money? I think it would be pretty awesome. And what would you do with all this *extra* time earned for actually living? Well, ask and shall be answered. You could learn oh! so many things, cook, kiss the husband, hug the children, teach your own, take care of your properties, lie on the grass, be present for your loved ones, and actually BE. Now, all I have to do is figure out the *financial intelligence* part and that one about *making the necessary changes to have less needs*...I will keep you updated. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-4838450180378216175?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/4838450180378216175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=4838450180378216175' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/4838450180378216175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/4838450180378216175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/05/las-horas-de-la-vida.html' title='Las horas de la vida'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/TALEOBXf2aI/AAAAAAAABtc/k27DD6wDoUg/s72-c/026.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-3470418305506246576</id><published>2010-05-23T13:43:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-05-23T13:43:21.384-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pondering'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muñecas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dolls'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='craft'/><title type='text'>Creating with trust, o la confianza en una misma...</title><content type='html'>Un poco de confesion de parte de moi. Como he comentado en ocasiones anteriores, jamas nunca en la vida tuve un hueso creativo...ni siquiera para cocinar un huevo frito. Tema de conversacion siempre presente en las reuniones familiares y no tan familiares. Incluso cuando Derek y yo comenzamos el cortejo el se lamentaba la existencia de haber venido a terminar con una mexicana que no sabia cocinar. Que calamidad! Ahora bien...cuando me embaraze de mi primer hija, algo comenzo a moverseme adentro. Los genes creativos de mis abuelas, recibidos a traves de mi madre y padre, empezaron a moverse, reproducirse y a darme una comezon impresionante. A tal grado que ahora soy mas o menos una artesana, si es que aplica el termino a lo que hago. Que vueltas da la vida!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;A bit of a confession of moi. I have mentioned here before that I never had any sort of creative bones in me...not even for boiling water! a theme much discussed and made fun of by members of my family and by friends too. However, when I got pregnant with my first born, something in me started rattling inside...those creative genes inherited from my grandmothers started coming alive, reproducing and giving me the biggest itch ever. To an extent, that now, I am some sort of artisan, if the term applies to what&amp;nbsp;I do!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_mAykE8xiI/AAAAAAAABtE/8UGeaOqK67E/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_mAykE8xiI/AAAAAAAABtE/8UGeaOqK67E/s640/009.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mientras estaba yo embarazada de Adica en Toronto, comenze a leer el blog de &lt;a href="http://littleredcaboose.ca/"&gt;Ella&lt;/a&gt;...y algo dentro de mi resonaba con esta mujer. Luego de vivir en Mexico y regresar a Canada, que vueltas me dio la vida nuevamente que termine haciendo una &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellapedersen/3207646599/in/set-72157603405888375/"&gt;muneca&lt;/a&gt; para ella, conociendola &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellapedersen/4052474443/"&gt;en persona&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;y ahora otra muneca para su nuevo bebe...que acaba de llegar al mundo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;While I was pregnant with Adica in Toronto, I started reading Ella's blog...and something inside me resonated deeply with her. Seeing her create, sew, make, cook...just felt like&amp;nbsp;a dream come true for me...I relished her photos and daydreamed about one day having a similar life for my loved ones.&amp;nbsp;After living in Mexico and coming back to Canada, how funny and small the world is that I not only ended up making a doll for her, but meeting her in person and now, making another doll for the newest member of&amp;nbsp; her amazing family.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_mCP-EvbcI/AAAAAAAABtM/jt-ofxsOayk/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_mCP-EvbcI/AAAAAAAABtM/jt-ofxsOayk/s320/008.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tenia yo la vaga idea de regarle uno que otro gorrito o ropita de bebe, pero tambien queria hacerle una muneca a este nuevo integrante de la familia. Aquello de no saber el sexo del susodicho me ponia el asunto medio canijo pero finalmente comenze por sentarme a hacer la cabecita de esta muneca. Luego pense que estaria "gueno" hacerle el cuerpecito con un sueter amado pero destinado al reciclaje. Medio saque las proporciones del muneco, y ahi como que no va queriendo la cosa, confiando muchisimo en el instinto y en ver que funcionaba, salio este munequito precioso en una sola noche!. Y lo que mas me maravilla del asunto es como ahora, despues de hacerle a esto de la creatividad, confio en mi misma y en lo que mis manos producen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I had this vague idea, when I found out she was expecting again, to make her a few baby items or what not...and of course a doll. Not knowing the sex of her baby was a bit confusing for me, but I finally sat down to make the head for this doll. Then one thing led to another, and in the course of just one night, this doll came alive. Trusting&amp;nbsp; my instinct, working with no pattern, and having the best of intentions for this doll, is how I came to create this little one. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_mCYCUGHZI/AAAAAAAABtU/RFc84yewoiw/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_mCYCUGHZI/AAAAAAAABtU/RFc84yewoiw/s640/012.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviamente que todavia tengo dudas, y quiero investigar mas acerca de la teoria del color, de las propiedades de ciertos materiales, etc y sobre todo entender mas la tecnica detras de lograr munecas de gran calidad...pero aun con las dudas y con las inseguridades he llegado a la realizacion de que crear con el corazon abierto, con buenas intenciones por el objeto terminado, y confiar en nuestras manos, es lo que verdaderamente logra creaciones que aunque no se queden en tu casa, se quedan en tu memoria...y te ayudan a crecer espiritualmente. Trabajar con las manos ocasiona una felicidad dificil de describir, una satisfaccion&amp;nbsp;corporal generalizada...casi que puedo decir que es bueno para la salud!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Is funny to think that after all the dolls I've made I still feel insecure when creating them. I still have doubts, I still want to "improve" them, I still want to learn so much. But, all this creating has led me to believe now that making something with an open heart, good intentions and trust in your hands is what makes the journey so much more than just "making". These creations stay in your memory forever, they give you such a joyfull high, and they help you grow spiritually. I do believe it. I can almost say that creating in such way is healthy for you ;-)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-3470418305506246576?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/3470418305506246576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=3470418305506246576' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/3470418305506246576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/3470418305506246576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/05/creating-with-trust-o-la-confianza-en.html' title='Creating with trust, o la confianza en una misma...'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_mAykE8xiI/AAAAAAAABtE/8UGeaOqK67E/s72-c/009.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-8840701479829491052</id><published>2010-05-22T13:00:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-05-22T13:00:34.299-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ajuar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='roPa'/><title type='text'>Wardrobe update</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_goz98EQzI/AAAAAAAABsg/jeWOA_5G570/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_goz98EQzI/AAAAAAAABsg/jeWOA_5G570/s640/001.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pues con eso de que estoy eliminando garrero y medio del vestuario de toda la familia...y entre mis planes para este ano es tener menos "cosas" pero de mejor calidad, que me aviento una que otra pieza para las nenas.

One of my new year resolutions or "intentions" was to reduce the amount of stuff we own: toys, books, clothes, craft supplies (ouch!), etc and to have less but better/natural/well made/high quality things. So...I guess someone was listening when I voiced this intention because due to two moving events in our current semester, we have had to drastically reduce everything! And so...I will, one more time, get rid of a lot of clothes via donations and yard sales in the following week, but also, I am exchanging a few things for much loved and appreciated "mom made" clothes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_gpSN7djGI/AAAAAAAABsw/Kao3qGGU2S8/s1600/018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S_gpSN7djGI/AAAAAAAABsw/Kao3qGGU2S8/s640/018.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;picking dandelions to grace our dinner table (florecitas para adornar la mesa)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if I only had the patience to sew for the man of the house.

I figured that somewhere down the line someone was going to ask me to do one...so I waited...and waited...and waited...and wanted to make one but also wanted it to be for a special someone...so finally, the waiting came to an end.

His second outfit looks very ad hoc for what I should be wearing once we move...if we ever move!! I am so sick of delaying and delaying the departure...but as long as there are still things we need to finalize here we just can't take up and leave. In the meantime I am finishing little presents...and packing stuff to send away before our departure.

Of the lovely kind...and the kind I wish I never find again...seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-2SVeKWSII/AAAAAAAABr4/10yvkKgHZvY/s1600/mosaic0514-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="512" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-2SVeKWSII/AAAAAAAABr4/10yvkKgHZvY/s640/mosaic0514-01.jpg" width="640" wt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;With all this time I've spent in Canada I kind of always complained that I've never seen bears. Today I did. About 30 feet away from us, a mom bear and her two cubs...they were very inquisitive and I was very scared. She stared at me and my girls for what it seemed the longest time, kept coming back and forth and finally decided that I was too scared and posed no threat and moved away with her little ones. Boy...i just held my daughters so close and totally frozed. When I saw her coming at us...I just...froze. I knew not to run...and I couldn't carrying both girls with me...we came home pretty shaken and decided to eat an entire melon out of mere shock. Puff...we are lucky. Next time we'll stick around on the back alleys...at least for a little while...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-1765568917583290010?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/1765568917583290010/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=1765568917583290010' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/1765568917583290010'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/1765568917583290010'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/05/close-encounters-of-fourth-kind.html' title='Close encounters, of the fourth kind.'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-2SoaedO_I/AAAAAAAABsA/66tFgMktdfA/s72-c/089.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-8958172400709658239</id><published>2010-05-06T12:41:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-05-06T12:41:42.078-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outdoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birds'/><title type='text'>Peck-peck-pecker wood-wood-wood-woodpecker!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-MNLuiboAI/AAAAAAAABrA/nI3Tn4Ca4NY/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-MNLuiboAI/AAAAAAAABrA/nI3Tn4Ca4NY/s640/022.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was about to write today about the beautiful experience and insight I had while scrubbing my bathtub, don't dismay, I'll still write about it someday. But this morning's events took a different blogging road. I present you our dear friend the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory-billed_Woodpecker"&gt;woodpecker.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Esta manana nos visitaron dos pajarracos de los mas guapos.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-ML31NqYoI/AAAAAAAABqo/WwccL0XGWw8/s1600/015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-ML31NqYoI/AAAAAAAABqo/WwccL0XGWw8/s400/015.JPG" tt="true" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are not quite sure if it was an Ivory-billed or a Pileated woodpecker, but we are sure as hell happy these two came to visit our backyard. They are HUGE. &lt;em&gt;Las pechochas me preguntaron una bola de cosas que yo nomas no supe como contestar...asi que despues de buscar en nuestros libros, y de prender la compu otra vez (despues de revisar mi correo en la manana apago el condenado demonio&amp;nbsp; hasta altas horas en que las ninas estan dormidas) y averiguar que tipo de pajarraco era este.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The visit sparked all kinds of questions from the little ones so I had to brush up on the subject. I was not raised with this beautiful bird around so it took a few books and turning on the laptop again to find what the deal was about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-MMFctRyHI/AAAAAAAABqw/5SDfMzhcMBo/s1600/016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-MMFctRyHI/AAAAAAAABqw/5SDfMzhcMBo/s640/016.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No we're off to draw some woodpeckers...and start dreaming a story about a tiny peck-peck-pecking bird. &lt;em&gt;Ahora nos dirigimos a pintar y dibujar unos cuantos de estos hermosisimos pajaros y a ver si nos aventamos un cuento hoy en la noche que involucre un poco de las actividades del "pajaro loco".&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-8958172400709658239?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/8958172400709658239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=8958172400709658239' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8958172400709658239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8958172400709658239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/05/peck-peck-pecker-wood-wood-wood.html' title='Peck-peck-pecker wood-wood-wood-woodpecker!'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-MNLuiboAI/AAAAAAAABrA/nI3Tn4Ca4NY/s72-c/022.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-5513785210967854619</id><published>2010-05-04T12:44:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2010-05-04T13:25:46.397-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muñecas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dolls'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='figandme'/><title type='text'>Una bebota para Hanna</title><content type='html'>Oh dear! major case of the baby blues!

I took special care to draft her knitted jacket, since I have never knit one like it before. But I had the general idea and I just went for it. I am pleased with the results except next I want to make one with a bit of a pattern...Tracey likes plain&amp;nbsp;knitting so this is perfect for her daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-BppBOSZVI/AAAAAAAABqQ/xACDQmNrK_s/s1600/039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S-BppBOSZVI/AAAAAAAABqQ/xACDQmNrK_s/s640/039.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hanna has been taking an interest in babies, so we thought a baby doll will suit her better right now.

Mal...muy mal, diria mi madre. Y estaria perfectamente en lo correcto. Por lo tanto, he devisado crear un tipo de archivo de actividades que hacer con las ninas en esas dos o tres horas que "tecnicamente" deberiamos de pasar al aire libre. Si salimos, solo que los viajes son de tipo muy corto...en total oposicion a nuestro habitual caminar lento, levantando tarugaditas y construyendo toda clase de edificios y absorbiendo material natural para los cuentos a la hora de dormir. Si Dios me da mas paciencia y tiempo, quiza ponga una barra de actividades a mano izquierda, para que sea facil accesarla cuando ande con el mencionado diablo atravesado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S98Pd5u12xI/AAAAAAAABpY/giXrCljD144/s1600/017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S98Pd5u12xI/AAAAAAAABpY/giXrCljD144/s640/017.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por otro lado, he estado pensando y mucho, en tres amigas. Una tuvo a su beba regordeta hace ya casi un ano...las otras dos acaban casi casi de tener a sus bebes. He estado pensando mucho, pero mucho, en estos bebes y en lo que ahora entiendo mas o menos acerca de los ninos y me gustaria mucho poder sentarme con estas amistades y regalarles algunos de los libros que tengo, pero por sobre todo, ayudarlas con sus bebes. Ayudarlas a dormir, a mantener al bebe calientito, a rodear al recien nacido de paz y calma, y ayudarlas a que descansen y tengan tiempo de asimilar este cambio. Dar a luz a un bebe es ahora si que el cambio mas fundamental en la vida de una mujer, y no deberia ser tomado como "son enchiladas". Nuestra cultura nos promueve a dejar de lado el papel de buena madre en pro del papel de "super madre". Aquella mujer que no descansa despues del parto, que viste al nino en los ultimos fashions, que deja de lado su papel en el hogar para retornar inmediatamente a trabajar, que se preocupa inmensamente por recuperar la figura en lugar de cultivar primeramente el crecimiento personal ahora que un ser humano depende 100% de ella, fisica, emocional y espiritualmente. No culpo a nadie, yo misma he sido culpable de casi todas estas fallas (excepto aquella de recuperar la figura...ehem!). Se que fuerte son las energias trabajando en contra de lo que es espiritualmente correcto. Pero tambien se que tener un hijo es la oportunidad mas "facil" de concientizar&amp;nbsp;y de tratar de mejorarse como ser humano, sobre todo porque tiene uno "gentuza" a la que guiar de hoy en adelante. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S98P32f0Q0I/AAAAAAAABpg/ReW3-FrYCOM/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S98P32f0Q0I/AAAAAAAABpg/ReW3-FrYCOM/s640/009.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creo que en vista de que me falla aquello de estar presente para hechar la mano, quiza pueda alivianar un poco la carga traduciendoles uno que otro articulo de suma importancia. Asi minimo no tienen que estar con el diccionario enseguida! Desde aqui les mando todas mis buenas vibras y mis mejores deseos en este nuevo camino que han emprendido, y les mando muchisimas felicitaciones de haber sido escogidas como madres de estos seres celestiales encarnados ahora en la Tierra.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-2836336880486804412?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/2836336880486804412/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=2836336880486804412' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/2836336880486804412'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/2836336880486804412'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/05/no-hay-tribulaciones-ni-amarguras.html' title='No hay tribulaciones ni amarguras'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S98PM_H4IqI/AAAAAAAABpQ/o582CAgI4KY/s72-c/012.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-2064662719316228492</id><published>2010-04-30T12:59:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-04-30T12:59:50.378-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yarn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='friends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>Knit one row, then take a month off...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S9snHZDhMzI/AAAAAAAABoQ/ww5qKfQaF1c/s1600/026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S9snHZDhMzI/AAAAAAAABoQ/ww5qKfQaF1c/s640/026.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This thing has been in the works since the beginning of the Fall in 2009.

Ahora que hemos decidido irnos a vivir a Ontario (jesus bendito!) hay que deshacernos 'ora si hasta de lo que no. Cansadonamente nos mudamos a esta casa e hicimos limpieza de bagaje emocional y fisico, pero ahora entramos a las ligas mayores con esto de mudarnos casi casi que de pais...porque nos vamos al otro lado de Canada. Eso me pasa por abrir la bocota!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S8PY91-l8ZI/AAAAAAAABng/KpNGE1klFZY/s1600/015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S8PY91-l8ZI/AAAAAAAABng/KpNGE1klFZY/s400/015.JPG" width="400" wt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por el momento nos damos muchas caminatas, recorremos el pueblo de pe a pa, las ninas se han paseado mucho en su bicicileta y lentamente nos estamos despidiendo de este pueblito, que vio a Finn nacer. Por un lado siento feyuco dejar este pedacito de tierra, por otro lado me emociono a la N potencia de verme creciendo con mi familia rodeada de lagos espectaculares y con los abuelos paternos alivianando la carga....o haciendola mas pesada ya ven que uno nunca sabe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S8PZJsHZ2sI/AAAAAAAABno/QfkPKjCjcW4/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S8PZJsHZ2sI/AAAAAAAABno/QfkPKjCjcW4/s640/020.JPG" width="640" wt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've decided we're moving across the country. Again. Wow!. Some people, us included, apparently never learn. We're pumped though. Real pumped. It is a bit of a logistic nightmare to try to finish dolls or take on new ones without knowing how much time you actually have with your supplies in one significant place. And it is another kind of nightmare to say good bye to two thirds of my stuff (craft-sewing-knitting supplies included)...very much like the nightmares I had when I had to leave Spain because we "thought" we were going to live in Germany and ended up, somehow much to our disbelief, in Ireland. It is one exciting life this one we live...and it is going to be so "rad" to drive across Canada...I'll keep you guys posted.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-5017236371786957378?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/5017236371786957378/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=5017236371786957378' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/5017236371786957378'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/5017236371786957378'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/04/se-queman-los-bomberos.html' title='Se queman los bomberos!'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S8PYzKCe8YI/AAAAAAAABnY/J7NlG4ZNI3g/s72-c/004.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-8510011970706542311</id><published>2010-04-04T10:03:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2010-04-04T10:04:22.694-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='waldorf'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='easter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sacred'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='parentingpassageway'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pascua'/><title type='text'>La Pascua</title><content type='html'>Para abrir con broche de oro, otro articulo traducido de Carrie, que ella ha tomado de otra persona que escribe en un grupo de yahoo.

Esta es su adorable perspectiva de como celebrar Semana Santa/Asuncion en el hogar waldorf, aun si no eres cristiano. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aqui les traduzco lo que la Sra. Johnson escribio: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Al acercarse la semana santa, mucha gente se pregunta como celebrar este festival en sus hogares... recuerdos de practicas religiosas tradicionales vienen a nuestra mente...preocupaciones de como amalgamar dos corrientes de tradicion nos ocupan, nos cuestionamos los aspectos crueles de la historia cristiana de Jesus, colgado en la cruz, un evento mucho mas cruel y violento que cualquier historia escrita por los hermanos Grimm. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Como es que nosotros, padres y adultos en el ano 2010, honoraremos la necesidad fundamental de lo sagrado en nuestras vidas, en nuestros hijos, en nuestra comunidad? Una necesidad tan profunda como el hambre, tan real como el medio ambiente, tan grande como otras necesidades humanas.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muchos se inclinan por el voraz consumo de los demonios comerciales, esperando con dedos ansiosos y huesudos prestar atencion a sus propias dinamicas de locura materialista y auto-gratificacion...comprando regalos, juguetes, comprando o creando una montana literal de cosas que agregar a la montana existente de cosas que ocupan cada centimentro de nuestros gigantescos hogares. Los aparates de las tiendas, de catalogos por correo, en linea, la compra-venta nos grita que compremos nuestra felicidad en este festival, y luego nos sentamos, rodeados de empaques y papel de envoltura, preguntandonos por donde se nos fue aquel momento capturado por Norman Rockwell. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Los ninos necesitan experimentar lo divino, ver lo sagrado, experimentar el sentimiento de que la reverencia tiene valor, de que podemos “percibir” el poder invisible del cosmos, de que nosotros estamos capturados dentro de aquel mucho mas grande e imposible infinito desconocido, lo sagrado. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Como puedes ayudarle a tus hijos, a tu clase, a tu comunidad, a sentir lo sagrado, este espacio dedicado al “templo”, la habitacion dedicada y separada para el “altar”? Es que debemos elevarnos por encima del comercialismo y el materialismo y crear un hogar verdadero para lo sagrado en nuestras fiestas y en nuestros hogares? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Asi es, nosotros podemos lograrlo. Podemos tomar una pequena mesa y cubrirla con los colores de la estacion, de Pascua, usando amarillos pasteles y dorados, con alguno morado y blanco, y podemos decorar esta pequena mesa y agregar aquellos elementos que nos recuerdan los eventos que han acontecido en estas tradiciones, tiempos que recordamos, quizas algunas ovejas, o flores hechas de cera de abeja, un plato con algunos huevos de Pascua, tulipanes, algunas macetas con pasto, y una vela...quiza tambien podamos agregar algunas ramas del rosal, aun con espinas y algunos petalos guardados del ultimo otono, que nos ayuden a visualizar que nada en esta vida se logra sin superar grandes retos y a traves de mucho esfuerzo, que no podemos “coser” nada en esta vida sin recibir un que otro pinchazo, podemos aceptar estas situaciones visualmente sin tener que hablar mucho al respecto, percibiendo inherentemente que las avejas suavecitas y los pollitos reconocen las espinas del rosal... &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crear este lugar especial, y despues una vez terminada la cena, reunirnos con la luz especial del atardecer, permanecer frente a este espacio, prender la vela y contar historias de Pascuas anteriores, de tradiciones que nosotros recordamos, de aquellas personas que lograron todo esto para nosotros, que se sentia encontrar cada manana de Pascua un huevo hecho de azucar con una escena grabada dentro, como era aquello de levantarse antes del amanecer para ir a misa a aquella iglesia en la colina, como se sentiar sentarse a comer durante los dias de Semana Santa, como nuestro abuelo contaba tanto chiste y que ricos nos sabian los dulces en aquellos dias, como se sentia el amor dentro de nuestro hogar y aquellos que ya no estan con nosotros pero que viven en el cielo ahora...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aunado a esta mesita o esquina sagrada, tu tambien puedes crear un ritmo con algunas rutinas que llenen esta necesidad en tu familia durante esta temporada especial del ano: una caminata por un bosque profundo, visitar una hermita o una capilla, un laberinto, un lugar geografico especial que tenga o represente un significado especial para nosotros en el sentido mas amplio de la palabra. Tomarnos de la mano, en circulo, y recitar una pequena oracion, un verso, una cancion, prestar espacio a las contribuciones individuales y permitirle a los ninos sentirse realmente parte de tal ceremonia tendra consecuencias positivas de por vida. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proporcionar amor y luz a los ninos, aunque sea por algunos minutos, es tan importante en nuestro deber como padres asi como proveerles comida, abrigo y un hogar, confirmacion, guia, soporte financiero, etc. No hacer nada en realidad es un tipo de deprivacion en mi punto de vista. Toma responsabilidad como padre de este nino o aquellos ninos y toma las decisiones y elabora el plan necesario para proveerles de lo sagrado y comprometete a esas tradiciones que resonen dentro de tu corazon y mantenlas vivas para tus seres queridos. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No se trata en realidad de hacer grandes aspavientos. Solo reunirnos, tomarnos de la mano, prender una vela y un verso sencillo, pueden proporcionar al nino el sentimiento de saberse abrazado por los brazos eternos de lo sagrado. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atentamente,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sra. M&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Espero que les haya gustado su granito de arena!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo (Carrie) he puesto las letras en negrita y espero que lo hayan disfrutado. Es algo digno de contemplacion durante los siguientes 40 dias, este tiempo de renovacion entre la Pascual y la Asuncion: cual es tu camino espiritual? Como le demostraras esto a tus hijos? Como se manifiesta lo sagrado en tu vida?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora yo, Fabiola, espero que esto les haya caido de manera suavecita y se que tanto yo como el julano tenemos que sentarnos a meditar sobre el asunto y principalmente a tomar cartas en el asunto.

La verdad es que en esta, su casa, hemos anticipado la llegada de la estacion desde hace buen rato...hemos estado trabajando a horas forzadas para terminar un grupo de nuestras famosas Hadas Primaverales. Les presento a las pechochas que salieron de mis manos como pan caliente y el dia de manana a sus respectivos hogares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #073763;"&gt;Today, we have snow outside. But you know what? no matter! we are happy that Spring has finally arrived and that we are going to be able to enjoy more and more sun every day. It has actually been pretty darn nice, up until yesterday when we woke up to 2 inches of snow. Gone by the afternoon...and some sprinkling today. I've been working like crazy to bring these group of faeries to fruition. I wanted them to be around for the actual Spring Equinox and I was off by a week, so that's not too bad. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S7IemlXLOSI/AAAAAAAABnA/KN8foTT5RsM/s1600/080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" nt="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S7IemlXLOSI/AAAAAAAABnA/KN8foTT5RsM/s640/080.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estas dos hermanitas se llaman Sprout Faerie (sease Hada Germinacion) y la pechocha de la grena anaranjada se llama Sunrise Faerie ( Hada del Amanecer). Son unas gorditas de lo mas preciosas y creo, aca entre nos, que me quedaron super guapikiurs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #073763;"&gt;These two cuties up here are called Sunrise Faerie and Sprout Faerie, and let me tell you they are my pride and joy these two. I've drawn their clothes at least 9 or 10 times, re-sketched the whole thing, trying to gather inspiration from their yarns and fabrics, tried so hard to be quiet and still to let them "speak" to me and&amp;nbsp;everything came together so nicely in the end! I am pretty happy with their vibe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S7Ie6NBJFTI/AAAAAAAABnI/wkIrAfHDF3Y/s1600/034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" nt="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S7Ie6NBJFTI/AAAAAAAABnI/wkIrAfHDF3Y/s640/034.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta hermosura, creo que es de las mejores caritas que he hecho, se llama Dew Sprite (no se como se traduce Sprite, pero es la misma fregadera que hada...creo!, y Dew significa...significa...es el aguita que aparece en las mananas en las hojas y las flores...les digo...se me esta olvidando el espanol!). Bueno, como les decia, esta cosita es en realidad una delicadez andando. Yo quisiera poder quedarme con todas mas no puedo. Hay que cooperar con la causa, sobre todo ahora que estamos en vias de deshacernos del restaurante y&amp;nbsp; mudarnos a vayan ustedes a saber donde...bueno, si sabemos, pero todavia no es hecho parejo asi que no abrire la boca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #073763;"&gt;The new designs for this set of faeries are: the antennaes! (I had so much fun and nightmares trying to figure out how to do these properly, specially with little fingers in mind); the new design for hairbands (wool felt and embellishments according to season and attire); wing style (from previous butterfly-looking to a one wing design), they look more like drangonfly wings in the sense of all those tiny little veins running across the wing; their dresses are different than the previous kimono-style too; I knit a shawl for the first time, and it was so easy-peasy I had to make them all one; and finally: the cocoon. Derek and I had so many discussions, his vision/my vision...I think&amp;nbsp;I am&amp;nbsp;going to make a few&amp;nbsp;tweaks to this design and make them like the papoose. I am pretty pleased with it, but I want this type of cocoon to be for the faeries only. I will make more available,&amp;nbsp;simple options to go with normal dolls...or should I just keep it this earthy and embellished?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S7IfUhE8FVI/AAAAAAAABnQ/a2UhiRKlDKI/s1600/018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" nt="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S7IfUhE8FVI/AAAAAAAABnQ/a2UhiRKlDKI/s640/018.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Espero que ustedes esten disfrutando las temperaturas estivales y con o sin munequitas se lo esten pasando chido, chido, chido!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-8956132221879624626?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/8956132221879624626/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=8956132221879624626' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8956132221879624626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8956132221879624626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/03/la-primavera-ha-llegadospring-has.html' title='La Primavera ha llegado...Spring has Sprung!'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S7IeAaVSyPI/AAAAAAAABm4/Unz4bb85ats/s72-c/081.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-2706580410136295921</id><published>2010-03-13T15:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-13T15:09:47.111-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outdoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dailyrituals'/><title type='text'>Listening to Itzhak Pearlman</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S5wMbyG8wVI/AAAAAAAABmo/qu-8YzUYRaQ/s1600-h/016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S5wMbyG8wVI/AAAAAAAABmo/qu-8YzUYRaQ/s640/016.JPG" vt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went for a LONG walk...we came home.

Por lo general estos cuentos son una tradición oral, no se les leen. Esto, por lo tanto, ocasiona una serie de preguntas: Por qué debemos considerar la tradición oral en nuestros hogares? No deberíamos mejor de leerles libros a nuestros hijos, para que ellos vean la importancia de la lectura y deseen leer por si mismos? Por qué los cuentos de hadas en especial? Y que hay de la violencia en este tipo de cuentos? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S4NQTpXUYHI/AAAAAAAABk4/FWQaBipMVEM/s1600-h/019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S4NQTpXUYHI/AAAAAAAABk4/FWQaBipMVEM/s640/019.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Algunas de estas citas te darán tela de que cortar para el cuestionamiento sobre esta materia:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“El alma del ser humano tiene una inextinguible necesidad de que la sustancia dentro de los cuentos de hadas fluya a través de sus venas, de la misma manera en que el cuerpo necesita de sustancias nutritivas fluyendo dentro de si mismo.” -Rudolf Steiner&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Podemos interpretar los cuentos de hadas-regresar a estos-como respuestas a las mas apremiantes preguntas sobre nuestras necesidades internas y externas.” -An Overview of the Waldorf Kindergarten, página 48.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Los niños que se encuentran listos para escuchar cuentos de hadas instinvamente saben que estas historias no son ciertas literalmente en el plano físico, pero que son imágenes verdaderas de eventos y circunstancias internos, de retos y fuerzas interiores que deben ser contemplados y superados. Por lo tanto, ellos entienden que la belleza y la fealdad se refieren a cualidades interiores, no a la apariencia externa.” -In A Nutshell: Dialogues with Parents At Acorn Hill, Nancy Foster, pag. 47.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“En lo tocante al asunto de la violencia y la maldad, es una realidad que los niños, y todos nosotros, nos encontramos con retos o experiencias que nos llenan de miedo en esta vida. Los cuentos de hadas, en los cuales estas experiencias son vencidas de una forma u otra, de acuerdo a la historia en particular, ayudan a los niños otorgándoles la confianza de que los retos o problemas pueden ser resueltos o vencidos y de que nosotros no somos seres indefensos.” -In A Nutshell: Dialogues With Parents At Acorn Hill, Nancy Foster, pag. 48.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S4NQhUJfHyI/AAAAAAAABlA/jswxvGU7XLY/s1600-h/029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S4NQhUJfHyI/AAAAAAAABlA/jswxvGU7XLY/s640/029.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Esa es la fortaleza de los cuentos de hadas. Están llenos de promesas. El débil puede ser fuerte; la maldad pueden ser transmutada en bondad, la fealdad puede convertirse en belleza; Cenicienta puede convertirse en una princesa, el sapo en un príncipe. Cada ser humano puede elevarse a su altura verdadera. Incluso el niño más pequeño puede comprender esto y emocionarse por sus victorias futuras.” –An Overview of the Waldorf Kindergarten, page 54.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Por lo tanto, de manera un tanto breve, nosotros propagamos estas historias de forma oral, porque una vez que nosotros, los padres, hemos tomado la historia, y meditado en esta historia por tres días antes de relatarla a nuestros hijos, investimos de nosotros mismos a esta historia, y se la relatamos a nuestros niños. Esta calidez nuestra se encuentra ahora en la historia, y no hay ningún libro que pueda recrear esto. Los niños se forman entonces imágenes de estos arquetipos dentro de sus pequeñas cabecitas. Se percatan de que la verdad y la belleza y la bondad provienen de los seres humanos y de la vida, no sólo de los libros. Esto forma el escenario para que el padre se convierta en una Autoridad de la vida, un Guardián de la Sabiduría, y no sólo entender que el conocimiento proviene de los libros. La tradición oral provee un contexto enriquecido para el lenguaje y la rima, que serán sumamente importantes mas adelante cuando aprendan a leer. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S4NSKkz5H7I/AAAAAAAABlo/rB5c1EhvgRQ/s1600-h/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S4NSKkz5H7I/AAAAAAAABlo/rB5c1EhvgRQ/s640/008.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las imágenes dentro del cuento de hadas cuentan la historia de la gente en si misma, de todas las generaciones a través de los tiempos. Complementa cualidades esenciales dentro del alma del niño. Los cuentos de hadas son también parte vital de la educación moral del niño. Para obtener comprensiones interesantes acerca de los cuentos de hadas y el rol que toman parte en nuestras vidas, por favor lea el libro de Bruno Bettelhem “The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me encanta lo que el Sr. Bettelhem escribe en la página 45 de su libro: “Ambos los mitos y cuentos de hadas responden a las preguntas eternas: Como es realmente el mundo? Como he de vivir yo mi vida dentro de el? De que manera puedo ser yo mismo? Las respuestas otorgadas dentro de los mitos son definitivas, mientras que las respuestas que se encuentran en los cuentos de hadas son proporcionadas de manera sugestiva” El continua escribiendo en la pagina 47,” El niño se pregunta a si mismo: “Quien soy yo? De donde provengo? Como es que el mundo apareció? Quien creo al ser humano y a todos los animales? Cual es el proposito de la vida? En realidad, el se pregunta todas esta cuestiones vitales, no de manera abstracta, sino en la manera en que le incumben a el. El niño se preocupa no de que haya justicia para el hombre individual, sino mas bien si el sera tratado con justicia. El se pregunta quién o qué lo proyecta a la adversidad, y quién puede ayudarlo a prevenir que esto le suceda. Es que existen poderes benevolentes asi como los propios padres? Son sus padres poderes benevolentes? Como debe el formarse a si mismo, y por que?. Los cuentos de hadas proven respuestas a estas importantes preguntas, muchas de las cuales el niño se entera solo mientras sigue el desenlace de estas historias”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Sr. Bettelhem dice asimismo en su libro “Desde el punto de vista de un adulto y dentro de los terminos de la ciencia moderna, las respuestas ofrecidas por los cuentos de hadas son fantasias mas que realidades. De hecho, estas soluciones parecen incorrectas a muchos adultos – quienes se han alejado de la forma de vivir en que los niños experimentan el mundo – y por lo tanto se oponen a exponer a los niños ante esta informacion “falsa”. Mas sin embargo, las explicaciones realistas son por lo general incomprensibles a los niños, porque ellos carecen de la comprension abstracta requerida para entenderlas. Mientras que proporcionar una respuesta cientificamente correcta hace sentir a los adultos que han esclarecido la situacion para el niño, estas explicaciones dejan al niño confundido, vencido e intelectualmente derrotado”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S4NRkUCYlyI/AAAAAAAABlY/WGigD5K0T-4/s1600-h/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S4NRkUCYlyI/AAAAAAAABlY/WGigD5K0T-4/s640/009.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Espero que por lo menos haya yo puesto un pequeño pensamiento dentro de tu cabeza cuando te digo que consideres seriamente leerle unas cuantas historias de hadas a tus niños de cuatro, cinco, seis y siete años!.

En fin, como les iba yo contando, parece ser que en realidad (no es que lo dude) la vida da muchas vueltas y ahora si que quien sabe para donde pinte el huarache (como dicen por allá en mi tierra natal). Una serie de cambios se avecinan, y aunque no estamos cien por ciento seguros (y la verdad es que, cuando en realidad esta uno 100% seguro de algo, verdad?) cuales de esos cambios tomarán efecto, lo cierto es que nos mudamos de domicilio (alabado sea el señor) y probablemente nos mudemos de provincia. Jesús bendito! (mi abuela se da de retorcijones todo el tiempo de lo blasfema que soy!!), ahora si que voy a tener que hacer limpieza estival al por mayor. Tres años de vivir en esta casa y de acumular hasta las perlas de la virgen ...va a estar en chino deshacerse de tanta cosa. Pero luego, que felicidad empezar la nueva temporada con menos pertenencias, menos menesteres y menos peso...ehem! también debería uno de perder unos cuantos kilos con la mudanza...de puro stress!.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;PS.

Lo acabo de re-descubrir y recuerdo vividamente esa mañana, en mi oficina: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dos Cucharadas Soperas de Maternidad.&lt;br /&gt;He estado pensando mucho en el curso que ha tomado mi vida y hacia donde voy. Lo que he vivido, las experiencias tan buenas y tan malas que he tenido, las personas que han llenado mi vida de manera tan eterna para luego desaparecer casi por completo de mi panorama diario. Existe dentro de mi un ansia, una inquietud, una necesidad. No la puedo negar, no la puedo relegar, esta ahí como este escritorio esta aquí. La necesidad de vivir en profundidad, de experimentar cada dia, aunque de rutina, en extasis. La curiosidad de saberme parte de algo mas grande y mas bello que la vida misma. No es en si una necesidad de darle a mis dias sabor a chocolate, es mas bien una ansiedad de ver las cosas con un cristal mas claro, menos conformista, mas elegante. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En España me sentia diferente. Me sentia dueña de mi vida, de mis experiencias, de mis ideas. Recuerdo perfectamente bien la manera en que mis zapatos se veian al caminar por esas calles empedradas; de que manera el viento otoñal arañaba mis mejillas al dirigirme cuesta arriba a la facultad; los sonidos de Juan al deambular nocturnalmente por su recamara y sus aspiraciones de tabaco Ducados; como el cansancio consumia mis piernas despues de cada dia trabajado en el hostal; los sabores de una tostada de tomate, una ensalada de Fran o las lentejas de Estela; el olor de los cigarros con hachis que fumaba John mientras leia a Salman Rushdie; el calor del abrazo de Derek al dormir en temperaturas de 40°C en Andalucía; el cabello humedo de Dustin entre mis dedos mientras tocaba su guitarra. Aquí siento que me asfixio, que al aire no me alcanza, que la sangre no me corre por las venas sino que se ha estancado en mis rodillas y no me deja avanzar. Mas siempre me pregunto: que es lo que tengo que ver en esta situacion? Cuando me fui de aquí, lo hice sin voltear atrás, la decisión la tome mas rapido que decidir de que rubio queria las transparencias en el cabello. Crei ingenuamente que el capitulo mas karmatico de mi vida habia terminado y podia comenzar con un nuevo aire los bienaventurados dias por venir. Ahora heme de nuevo en esta aridez no solo del paisaje sino del alma. Mi familia me hace feliz. Mi esposo y mi hija y este nuevo embarazo traen sonrisas y calidez a mi cuerpo, pero yo necesito mas para poder dar mas. Aquí por mas que me rasco por dentro no saco nada, no aporto nada, solo languidezco y me siento desvanecer entre el smog de la ruta Juarez-Porvenir. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ser madre es el reto mas grande y mas profundo esotericamente que he vivido. Cada vez que le embarro crema a las piernas gordas de Adica cuestiono el sentido de la vida misma y mi proposito en este lugar y en este momento. Cada vez que la cargo en mis brazos y siento el peso sobre mi vientre pienso en el otro bebe que crece dentro de mi y me dan nauseas de pensar que soy la luz para dos almas en esta madeja de sin sentidos. Como proceder? Que decir? A donde ir? De donde saco fuerzas para hacerlo? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Derek es una persona maravillosa, llena de ilusiones y de sueños, de amor y de fuerza, sin embargo cada dia lo veo mas palido, mas triste, mas despechado contra la vida y contra este pais. Ha vivido en otros cinco paises y siempre se sintio capaz de ver por si mismo, ahora se siente derrotado. La magia de sentirse dentro de un paisaje desconocido, imbuido de un lenguaje extraño y con sabores tan distintos ni siquiera figura ya dentro de sus pensamientos cotidianos de amargura. Lo unico que quiere es regresar al suelo materno y ver por el bienestar de su familia, la nuestra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo desconozco que nos depara el destino y si verdaderamente nuestro bienestar yace en tierras nordicas. Sin embargo, imagino a mis pulmones llenarse de aire lacustre, de pinos, de vinaterias cercanas y no dejo de pensar que no puede ser tan malo. Que quizas Canada tenga para nosotros lo que Mexico se niega a darnos: paz. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero, como olvidar San Sebastian y su imponderable enigmatico silencio? Como olvidar Irlanda y las lluvias diarias que barrian el corazon de todo vestigio de esperanza? Como olvidar esa noche, bajo el cielo estrellado de Cantabria, tratando de conciliar el sueño en una acera al lado de un aeropuerto, mientras te sientes paria de la vida y repudiada de tus propios anhelos? Esa noche me sabe mas real, mas punzante, la siento mas cerca que lo que vivi aquí la semana pasada. Si cierro los ojos puedo sentir el cemento frio debajo de mi espalda y respirar el asfalto del estacionamiento cercano. Esa noche tiñe mi ansiedad. Me recuerda los reveses que me da la vida, lo brutal de un nuevo ciclo, lo fascinante que puede ser mi propia existencia. Y entonces volteo a mi alrededor, una caja de kleenex, una grapadora y diez carpetas con cosas aparentemente de urgencia inmediata me rodean ahora y me veo sentada en una oficina sin ventanas, en una maquiladora en Ciudad Juarez, con un sabor de café rancio en la garganta, desvelada y desganada, y me pregunto: fui yo quien vivi eso o como tantas otras extrañas fascinaciones de mi mente, lo imagine? Ha sido mi poder tan grande e inhumano que he podido moldear de semejante manera el tiempo y el espacio que me transporte en otra era a un pais lejano y me apañe personajes y experiencias de tal magnitud? Es posible que lo logre de nuevo? Soy capaz de dar otro salto en el espacio vacio? Tengo ese coraje o soy asi de estupida tal vez? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo triste del asunto es que no tengo la respuesta y siempre he tenido la respuesta. Siempre la he sabido dentro de mi y ahora me veo muy playtex, sease “sin palabras”. Ser madre me ha metido miedo dentro del cuerpo. Miedo y respeto por la vida. Miedo por los mios, por mis hijas, por mi esposo. Otros fueron los tiempos en que mi descaro y desfachatez no tenian mesura, ahora esta nueva sensacion de “no te vayas a ir de hocico” me esta aplastando las pelotas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot seriously translate this into english...it's beyond me and it's 1:30 in the morning and I'm still doing accounting crap for the restaurant. So all you english speaking peeps will have to wait...toodles!.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-8721337840700566507?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/8721337840700566507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=8721337840700566507' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8721337840700566507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/8721337840700566507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/02/agregue-dos-cucharadas-soperas-de.html' title='Agregue dos cucharadas soperas de maternidad'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-2594187147313550113</id><published>2010-02-03T17:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-02-03T17:17:40.000-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='waldorf'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ajuar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muñecas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dolls'/><title type='text'>Nuestra nueva muñeca</title><content type='html'>We added two dolls to our family.

This is a traditional spanish song, that we sing to our children when we are putting them to bed. I love it. and the girls seem to enjoy it too. I can't remember for the life of me most of the songs my mom used to sing to us, or that I used to sing while playing. So I have been doing a little bit of research and have asked my mom to write me those songs...once I read them I know I'll remember the tunes. For now...part of our daily routine involves singing to the girls at night, with the ligths off, these two: Los Tres Cochinitos and El Pastorcillo. The girls go to bed with the handknit cats I made them this past christmas. They're pretty soft so I think that's why...sometimes they sleep with a doll or with a sleepybaby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S2H7ghO0zwI/AAAAAAAABjE/m91N1TuwL8A/s1600-h/063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" mt="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S2H7ghO0zwI/AAAAAAAABjE/m91N1TuwL8A/s640/063.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Ultimamente, parte de nuestro ritmo cotidiano es que les canto a las niñas, mientras las acuesto en sus camas y apago la luz. Esto parece dar resultado por el momento, y por sobre todas las cosas, me hace recordar cuando mi mamá nos cantaba canciones. Lo malo del caso es que me acuerdo de muy pocas canciones y la mayoría me las se a medias. Asi que ni corta ni perezosa le pedí a mi madre que me escribiera la letra de tres canciones que quería cantarles a las niñas, y por lo tanto, el repertorio actual nocturno comprende Los Tres Cochinitos y El Pastorcillo. Esta ultima canción es quizás mi preferida...porque es la que mas recuerdo a mi madre cantandonos...y siempre aunque me daba tristeza oírla, me sentía confortada al final. Los gatos también forman parte del ritual...últimamente duermen con ellos, será porque estan super acolchonaditos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-379942090824164147?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/379942090824164147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=379942090824164147' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/379942090824164147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/379942090824164147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/01/los-tres-cochinitos.html' title='Los tres cochinitos'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S2H6X8SM2iI/AAAAAAAABi8/BfHdigg7ros/s72-c/061.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-3705389021131736814</id><published>2010-01-12T14:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-12T14:17:21.473-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='winter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='no frikin labels'/><title type='text'>A little trip</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;A few weeks ago we took a little trip to the West Kootenays, particularly the Selkirk mountains (we live in the Purcells). The entire trip was so beautiful, full of winter darkness and shining light moments that take your breath away. Derek longs to live close to a body of water, like when he grew up...so the entire time he was just grinning being by the lake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hace algunos días nos fuimos de viajecillo a las montañas vecinas. Nosotros vivimos encajonados por las montañas Purcell y nos juimos a visitar a las Selkirks. El viajecillo, corto pero muy lento, fue una cosa de lo más divina.Entre momentos de oscuridad invernal de pronto hubo momentos de luz penetrante, que embellecía las colinas completamente blancas. La verdad estuvo muy padre. Derek se la pasó con una sonrisa de oreja a oreja, creo que extraña vivir cerca del agua.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S0zhNKNYDfI/AAAAAAAABik/vj3GUF5dfbY/s1600-h/049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S0zhNKNYDfI/AAAAAAAABik/vj3GUF5dfbY/s640/049.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S0ziqTd96_I/AAAAAAAABi0/22vFcodBxpM/s1600-h/047.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S0ziqTd96_I/AAAAAAAABi0/22vFcodBxpM/s320/047.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We stayed at a friend's house, nestled by the river and this cute mountain behind us. This are has no cellphone/internet use so it was pretty darn relaxing to be away from modern life's gadgets.&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Nos quedamos en casa de una compita, y en esa area no se pueden usar ni celulares ni tampoco hay internet, asi que hasta nos dimos un descanso de los comunes y apremiantes requerimientos de la tecnología moderna.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S0zhUEnkD_I/AAAAAAAABis/WMQfm6G2H8A/s1600-h/084.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S0zhUEnkD_I/AAAAAAAABis/WMQfm6G2H8A/s640/084.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to scout the place, to take a few breaths of fresh air (not that we lack that around here...but we needed a change) and to see what the buzz was all about. It's a pretty cool place I have to say. Today, back to life, it's pretty gloomy over here. Most of the snow is melting due to unusual weird temperatures...so it's just slush everywhere. I'm feeling a bit out of sorts, not exactly know why. Last night I read one of my journals, the one I wrote in Spain. I laughed a lot. Coughing one lung right after wasn't much fun but...at least I remembered some good old lines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Además del descansillo, que bastante falta nos hacía espiritualmente, fuimos a echarle el ojo a la escuela de por alla. Es un pueblito pequeño pero bastante padre. Ahora que estamos de regreso y de nuevo a dale y dale como que el espíritu anda achicopalado. Será que el día esta semi-deprimente, a llueve y llueve y derritidiendo toda la nieve...una de charcos congelados que no son nada ortopédicos déjenme comunicarles. Anoche me aplasté a leer uno de mis diarios, de cuando estaba en Granada y ah!que carcajadotas nos pegamos Derek y yo con la sarta de sandecez que escribo. Tanto me reí que terminé tosiendo como por media hora (ando semienferma...me rehuso a decretar enfermedades).

Admiro profundamente el estilo de esta mujer, y creo que la mayoría de sus artículos son de mucha importancia. He por eso que comienzo con el primero que leí.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El conflicto forma parte de nuestra vida, y la rabia no es una emoción mala – es únicamente un sentimiento como cualquier otro. De cualquier forma, algunos padres deciden disciplinar a sus hijos cuando se encuentran enojados o heridos. Algunos padres eligen golpear a sus hijos cuando estan enojados. Golpear a un niño no esta bien, y cuando perdemos el control y la responsabilidad por nuestras acciones entonces perdemos un verdadero momento de enseñanza/aprendizaje. Una acción de medio segundo mientras estamos enojados puede ocasionar que el padre o madre sienta remordimientos después. Y puede resultar en tener que pedir una disculpa! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En lugar de perder el control, yo quisiera hablarles hoy acerca de como NO ser el padre enojado. Personalmente creo que la razón número uno de que los padres se enojan hacia sus hijos es que los mismos “no hacen caso”. En muchas ocasiones esto sucede en conjunción mientras uno esta tratando de hacer algo, con ciertas limitaciones de tiempo. En algunas ocasiones parece que el niño esta eternamente de negativo, o que el temperamento del niño en conjunción con el del padre suele llevar a una relación frágil entre ambos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero, no se supone que los niños son inmaduros? Los niños son ruidosos, desordenados, y si, muy inmaduros en ocasiones. De otra forman hubiesen nacido en estado adulto y crecerían de manera regresiva hacia la infancia, verdad? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo creo que la rabia, el coraje, enojo, etc., son en realidad problemas nuestros, son nuestro problema como padres. Por lo general estamos tratando de hacer algo, con limitaciones de tiempo, traemos bagaje emocional de nuestra propia niñez (“yo NUNCA le hubiera hablado a MIS padres de esa manera!”), estamos cansados y estresados en relación a asuntos que a lo mejor no tienen nada que ver con el hijo, cargamos con expectativas acerca del comportamiento de nuestros hijos, o generalmente nuestras necesidades no estan siendo cumplidas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el calor del momento, lo que uno mas necesita es la habilidad de calmarse. Quizá esto requiera de tomarse un “tiempo fuera”. Muchos padres y madres se quejan de esto porque mientras estan tratando de obtener la compostura propia y de calmarse, el hijo los sigue pegando de gritos! Oh! esa inmadurez de los jovenes muestra la cara de nuevo – mientras que un adulto te proporcionaría el espacio para que te tranquilices, el niño es muy probablemente que no lo hará!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y entonces, que hago?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi voto personal es que te salgas de la casa. Yo deshierbo mi jardín cuando estoy enojada, y eso me ayuda a calmarme antes de hacer alguna estupidez. Mis hijos pueden salir pero por lo general me dan un cierto espacio cuando nos encontramos en espacios grandes al aire libre (lo contrario si intento meterme al baño mientras todos estan gritando y peleandose al otro lado de la puerta!). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La pregunta se transforma: Que es lo que nosotros queremos que nuestros hijos hagan cuando ELLOS esten enojados y como podemos modelar ese tipo de respuesta? Si nos vamos por la habitación dando de gritos y aventando puertas, como nos sorprendemos entonces cuando nuestro hijo hace lo mismo? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una vez que te hayas tranquilizado, esperemos que puedas regresar a la situación y trabajar en pro de la resolución. Ayuda al niño, guía al niño. Inhala y exhala. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La paciencia se desarrolla con el tiempo. Yo estoy segura que ahora tengo mas paciencia con este tercer hijo que lo que fui anteriormente con mi primer hijo. Aprender a relajarte en tu paternidad/maternidad y aprender como dejar de lado la mentalidad de que cada pequeña cosa debe ser resuelta o el hijo se convertira en una lacra de la sociedad también se aprende con el tiempo. Ponte una alarma y ve si puedes mantener la paciencia durante media hora y trabaja por incrementar ese tiempo. Tu puedes lograrlo! Llena tu propio tanque para que puedes tener algo que dar. Proporciona a tus hijos un ritmo diario con uan hora temprana de irse a dormir para que de esta manera tengas tiempo para ti y para tu esposo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero sobre todo, se agradecida. Ve y echale un ojo a los niños mientras duermen, a sus caritas pequeñas, y date cuenta que tan pequeños son en realidad los niños de 3, 4 o 5 años. En este espacio del día en que la luz se apaga y nos movemos hacia la noche, trabaja en cultivar dentro de ti la luz que guíe a tu familia&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-7359328294579375193?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/7359328294579375193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=7359328294579375193' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/7359328294579375193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/7359328294579375193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2010/01/eres-un-padre-enojon.html' title='Eres un padre enojón?'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-836304775416630470</id><published>2010-01-09T19:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-09T19:10:54.634-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='random life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='winter'/><title type='text'>Fríos de enero</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Hemos estado bajo temperaturas de plano espantosas...y en estas ocasiones en que brilla el sol y el fríazo no corta la cara hay que pelarse de inmediato a hacer algo...o de plano no nos da el sol todo el renegado invierno.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; Abrí la tienda de nuevo y me estan lloviendo órdenes, asi que ando medio ocupadilla limpiando el "cuarto&amp;nbsp;de costura", arreglando telas, buscando retacitos y pedacitos de listones...y contenta de seguirle con lo de las muñecas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S0k0-9HeZ2I/AAAAAAAABic/JdpqvvHZRLg/s1600-h/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/S0k0-9HeZ2I/AAAAAAAABic/JdpqvvHZRLg/s640/012.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Espero que estos frís terribles no duren mucho, para poder ir a patinar sobre los témpanos de hielo y para poder gozar de la blancura tan hermosa que nos rodea.

These impressions stayed with me all day and impregnated it with their wonderful creative energy, but above all it helped me to keep my directives in mind. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graciosa y agraciadamente seguimos al pie del cañón. Seguimos reportando. Seguimos trabajando por su bienestar y seguimos dando lata. En muchas y variadas áreas y ello se debe a que hemos gozado de inmensa salud, de amor, de amistad y de benevolencia. Que afortunados somos algunos, verdad? Yo la verdad que no me canso de agradecer mi buena suerte...seré una tía medio mensa o no pero yo me siento muy agradecida y muy contenta con lo que tengo. Lo cuál no significa que no aspire a mejorar...y en mi caso mejorar por lo general significa tener menos, hacer menos y vivir más lento...en lugar de lo contrario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gracefully and gratiously we are here. We keep on reporting. We keep on working for the wellbeing and we keep on trucking...in many and varied areas... and that is only because we have enjoyed enormeous health, love, friendship and kindness. Some of us are so damn lucky, eh? I cannot stress the fact enough times of how lucky I believe I am. This is not to say that I don't aspire to growth or achievements, but normally those translate for me as "have less, do less and live slower" instead of the usual suspects.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/Sz1O-1d-W_I/AAAAAAAABhk/wtjXe6lwk4E/s1600-h/090.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421576367835601906" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/Sz1O-1d-W_I/AAAAAAAABhk/wtjXe6lwk4E/s640/090.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Este año he visto nacer una &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/figandme"&gt;pasión&lt;/a&gt; que no sabía yo que poseía.

A las niñas les encantó el númerito...quizá podamos convertir este paseo en tradición familiar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SzptCmWUkjI/AAAAAAAABhM/PcFMmOMfxQU/s1600-h/013.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420764992915149362" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SzptCmWUkjI/AAAAAAAABhM/PcFMmOMfxQU/s640/013.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/Szpsyl3474I/AAAAAAAABg8/Bq3rxVKcz2s/s1600-h/023.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420764717909602178" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/Szpsyl3474I/AAAAAAAABg8/Bq3rxVKcz2s/s640/023.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I had really no idea about the &lt;a href="http://theparentingpassageway.com/2009/12/22/the-twelve-days-of-christmas/"&gt;12 days of Christmas&lt;/a&gt;, even though I was born and raised in Mexico my culture does not celebrate this tradition as is...we do have the &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dia_de_los_Reyes_Magos"&gt;Dia de Reyes Magos &lt;/a&gt;on the 6th of January or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Kings_Day"&gt;Epiphany&lt;/a&gt;, but I like this &lt;a href="http://theparentingpassageway.com/2009/12/26/inner-work-for-the-holy-nights/"&gt;approach &lt;/a&gt;much better (i tend to shy away from gift giving oriented holidays). Sweet &lt;a href="http://frokenskicklig.blogspot.com/2009/12/stars-twelve-days-of-christmas-number.html"&gt;Juliane&lt;/a&gt; is doing a series of posts too on this. I will soon be translating and posting a series of &lt;a href="http://theparentingpassageway.com/"&gt;Carrie&lt;/a&gt;'s articles on this blog for those out there who would love to know a bit more about the waldorf approach to raising your children and living your life, but who do not speak english. She has been so kind to allow me to do this! So drop by every so often...I am going to set up a special page for those.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SzpsySO4fjI/AAAAAAAABg0/5-gaLkDYKOQ/s1600-h/019.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420764712637333042" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SzpsySO4fjI/AAAAAAAABg0/5-gaLkDYKOQ/s640/019.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SzpsyMNPOQI/AAAAAAAABgs/OBf2ggZjJtk/s1600-h/039.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420764711019821314" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SzpsyMNPOQI/AAAAAAAABgs/OBf2ggZjJtk/s640/039.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; En los próximos días voy a traducir una serie de artículos escritos por &lt;a href="http://theparentingpassageway.com/"&gt;Carrie&lt;/a&gt;, para aquellos interesados en la educación estilo waldorf, pero que no hablan inglés. Carrie, la muy hermosa, esta emocionada de que yo haga esto asi que es una nueva semi aventura. Espero empezar prontamente asi que no tarden en darse una vuelta por esta su casa.

Quedaron muy pechochos y a las niñas les gustan mucho.Ahi los dejo que tengo un pan en el horno y la casa huele a pura delicia!! hay que atizarnolo con un buen chocolate calientito (marca Abuelita por supuesto!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-4067686557717523685?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/4067686557717523685/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=4067686557717523685' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/4067686557717523685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/4067686557717523685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2009/11/more-gnomes-anyone.html' title='More gnomes anyone?'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SwsOIGm6YJI/AAAAAAAABe0/xU2ZxyViP6I/s72-c/009.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-7606565071955390322</id><published>2009-11-19T13:56:00.004-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T14:21:44.634-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thingsilove'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yarn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='indoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crazyness'/><title type='text'>Cuentame un cuento abuelita...y enséñame tu ropero!</title><content type='html'>We have been doing a few updates on our house, now that Dad is away for a few days. Because a) he doesn't snoop around and puts in his 2 cents and b) we surprise him!. Hopefully he will like what we have done to the place. I was cutting the fabric on the floor and the girls decided to turn it momentarily into their boat. Then they (as always) turned to the wool basket and decided to bring in all the passengers aboard another boat...they wanted the big one for themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SwWx3BkXjfI/AAAAAAAABek/0mrCvKrHBvk/s1600/001.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405922486600044018" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SwWx3BkXjfI/AAAAAAAABek/0mrCvKrHBvk/s640/001.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Las niñas se la viven jugando con mis estambres. Cosa padre (para ellas claro) porque los estambres en realidad se prestan contentonamente a cualesquier actividad que ellas determinen...pero a mi como que me quiere dar el tramafat de vez en cuando y sobre todo cuando empiezan a "desatornillar" las bolas y convertirlas en hilo suelto...ahi si pongo un alto al asunto y mando a todo mundo por un tubo. En estas fotos en particular andan jugando a que el piso es el mar y hay que subir a la tripulación a los botes de inmediato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SwWx2kpzKuI/AAAAAAAABec/o6PS5eUm46Y/s1600/005.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405922478838196962" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SwWx2kpzKuI/AAAAAAAABec/o6PS5eUm46Y/s640/005.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It's kind of neat to see them play with such imagination I guess. They do play with their toys, their dolls are a big part of their daily play, but it's things like these: my wool skeins, random bits of ribbon (those usually are dog's leashes much to my dismay), buckets and baskets, and pieces of bark from the stove's wood fallen all over the house...which turn themselves constantly into "Babies" "passengers" "picnic baskets" and "puppies"...some days I feel like I have no patience for my children, but then I remember all the stuff I put up with on a daily basis while they are playing and then I feel slightly better. And then I remember all the things my mother did with us and I take a deep breath of gratefulness that my kids are not as crazy as we were...!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-7606565071955390322?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/7606565071955390322/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=7606565071955390322' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/7606565071955390322'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/7606565071955390322'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2009/11/cuentame-un-cuento-abuelitay-ensename.html' title='Cuentame un cuento abuelita...y enséñame tu ropero!'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SwWx3BkXjfI/AAAAAAAABek/0mrCvKrHBvk/s72-c/001.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-3429887619623265949</id><published>2009-11-14T11:32:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-14T11:44:41.675-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='navidad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='waldorf'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='craft'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='holidays'/><title type='text'>Y comienza la locura:</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/Sv74FKLOFPI/AAAAAAAABeI/616gciz7wMA/s1600-h/001.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404029370405623026" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/Sv74FKLOFPI/AAAAAAAABeI/616gciz7wMA/s640/001.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; We had a quick crafting moment with Adica and Finnie. We got the new issue of MSL and got on top of this that same day. The girls love them...we think we might turn them into a little garland for their play room. And so it begins...the holidays xmas crafting! I have been making a few things here and there...but still have ambitious plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This &lt;a href="http://theparentingpassageway.com/2008/11/23/holiday-gifts-for-children-how-much-is-too-much/"&gt;post has got me thinking &lt;/a&gt;about what I am going to make and what I am not going to bother for this Xmas. I intend on doing some things for my kids and seriously not buying them a whole lot. Each year Derek and I whittle down what we really want this celebration to be about and we are leaning more and more towards celebrating actual things, like the Solstice, the end of a year...and not a religious, out-of-whack gongsho...and coming together with what we think resonates with our feelings so we can pass down something true to us to our children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/Sv74E-aj5zI/AAAAAAAABeA/AfIFub_wHHo/s1600-h/006.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404029367248742194" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/Sv74E-aj5zI/AAAAAAAABeA/AfIFub_wHHo/s640/006.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Hicimos una bola de gnomos o como se les llame...sacamos la inspiracion de la revista Martha Stewart y se me hace que los vamos a convertir en una guirnalda. Y se me hace que voy a mandar uno que otro con las muñecas que hice para Navidad...como regalito extra. Ya tengo mas o menos decidido que voy a hacer para esta Navidad...y les voy a dar una que otra recetilla o poema guapo. Ahi los wacho que tengo que sacar a las hijas de la casa o me van a volver loca!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-3429887619623265949?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/feeds/3429887619623265949/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=567124134040129213&amp;postID=3429887619623265949' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/3429887619623265949'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/567124134040129213/posts/default/3429887619623265949'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com/2009/11/y-comienza-la-locura.html' title='Y comienza la locura:'/><author><name>Fabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415284023248103330</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/Sv74FKLOFPI/AAAAAAAABeI/616gciz7wMA/s72-c/001.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567124134040129213.post-6245716948058684569</id><published>2009-11-07T13:46:00.004-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-07T14:01:08.281-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ganchillo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='indoors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crochet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autumn'/><title type='text'>Lana sube, lana baja...el señor que la trabaja...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SvXdZAdz6MI/AAAAAAAABd4/9OJtRzNhZCk/s1600-h/003.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401466749792282818" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SvXdZAdz6MI/AAAAAAAABd4/9OJtRzNhZCk/s400/003.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It's still snowing this morning...it started last night as I was watching Food Inc. and sewing a dollie together. I have notices over the past few days the change of light all day and the wool goodness that surrounds us.

Acepto que no es la única colección de estambres guapos...y más bien que se trata de la colección temporal en exhibición. "Ora lo verán" dijo mi abuelita...es que mientras ando renegando/limpiando la casa de vez en cuando me detengo a admirar estas obras de arte e ingenio tanto de la madre naturaleza como del ser humano y me lleno de asombro y regocijo...se me baja un poco el diablo y continuo el afán cotidiano con una semi sonrisa y el corazón levantao'....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SvXdYgxD7JI/AAAAAAAABdo/_zM4MTS7US4/s1600-h/012.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 440px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401466741283089554" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3FNtqQphi3k/SvXdYgxD7JI/AAAAAAAABdo/_zM4MTS7US4/s400/012.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Las niñas están en una racha de pintar y dibujar que no les doy abasto.

They keep my hands warm without sacrificing practicality...they make me feel like I am "so well dressed" even though Derek keeps calling me "bag lady" and on top of that I can whip'em up like in half an hour! The pile is getting bigger...anyways, I have to go now and colour with Adica and start thinking about supper....oh! the joys of domestic life...in winter!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567124134040129213-6245716948058684569?l=fabiolaperezsitko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link
