I'm a Mexico-based performer and I'll be coming to the Atlantic Fringe Festival in Halifax in September to perform a one-woman show about motherhood. I've performed the show all over Ontario and into Quebec, and while men and women both seem to enjoy it, there is no question that Women Enjoy It More, particularly women who have children!<br /> The show is called Giving Into Light and it is a comical, yet deeply moving, journey from the challenging and magical terrain of early motherhood into the myth and magic of Mexico. <br /> If this resonates with you and you know of anyone who might be interested (your fabulous band of knitters, for example!), I'd be so grateful for any help spreading the word. I don't have my performance schedule yet, but the festival runs from 2-12 September. Could I offer you a couple of free tickets as a way of saying thanks?<br /> warmly and gratefully,<br /> Alison Wearing <br /> www.alisonwearing.comAlison Wearinghttp://www.alisonwearing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-77786468111048615902010-08-06T04:57:12.944-03:002010-08-06T04:57:12.944-03:00Have you gotten him his own little broom?

We loved them.

My kids loved their tiny broom, mop or whatever and it was much safer than a tiny tot with a long handle knocking things over. A swiffer is great too since you can remove handle sections to customize the fit and then add them back as he grows (and it's amazing how effective a toddler with a Swiffer is at cleaning!). I don't buy the cloths- a paper towel or an old t-shirt or cloth diaper cut to fit works great (or you could knit a MDK swiffer cover) and may be used wet or dry. I'm a huge fan of encouraging kids to "help" with chores while they are tiny and enthusiastic so that when they are sullen teens participating in the cleaning up will be habit!Tishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-19994214180496700852010-06-27T17:28:00.386-03:002010-06-27T17:28:00.386-03:00The very first word my brother said was "more...The very first word my brother said was "more". They couldn't figure out what he wanted for the longest time until. Finally they realized "more" meant "drink" because whenever he had a bottle or glass of something, he was always asked if he wanted "more."<br /><br />So...in the spirit of first birthdays, first steps and first words...MORE please!!! Mogrunt posts are never too long. Love it. Love you guys. xoxoTdothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858692197607170977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-11964932689552021792010-06-27T16:21:31.607-03:002010-06-27T16:21:31.607-03:00This makes me feel a teensy bit better about going...This makes me feel a teensy bit better about going back to work in December. I've been fretting about it lately, wondering how I'm going to be able to leave the newt with someone else (control freak? yes.) when I just want to spend every waking (and not-so-waking) moment with him. But you've gone back to work and the Earth is still spinning on its axis, so I guess I can do it too.ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658931923816418442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-31812742239888485182010-06-27T13:35:18.381-03:002010-06-27T13:35:18.381-03:00Wonderful heartfelt post.

While I'm still concerned about the safety factor, I feel as though she is entitled to have her growing up years be her own and not made public. I've since deleted all of her albums from FB. Strange times these kids are growing up in. <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing future sewing and knitting projects :)Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01838933171412452978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-1718463407503502602010-06-27T01:40:02.870-03:002010-06-27T01:40:02.870-03:00I made it to the end.. sewing eh??

When the two of them are playing together she will look him straight in the face, with a huge grin, and say an exaggerated Hiiieeee! This is responded with a silly happy grin from your little mr Mogrunt. I have also noticed him mouthing Hiiiii back at her.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672014967028095307noreply@blogger.com
