I accidentally threw away Norah’s gingerbread cookie on Christmas Day. I don’t know if she will forgive me anytime soon, since every day she has reminded me at least once: “Mommy, you put my pretty cookie in the trash!” I know I’ve lost my nomination for Mother of the Year, but thankfully there is something [...]

It’s a BOOK!

December 15, 2011

This isn’t just any ordinary bowl of chips and salsa. Maria Bonita’s chips are the official Celebratory Chips of the Furman household. We’re celebrating something super exciting! No, there isn’t another Baby Furman on the way. But there is something on the way that is sort of like a baby– it has a due date, [...]

Several months ago I was thisclose to letting Life in Arabia “fall on the sword.” I didn’t know what I was doing or where I was going with it. I lost my muse. It seemed so scattered and random. Like I was always saying, “Check this out… I read a good book, baked cookies in [...]

The moment Norah finished her prayer all five of us were in tears. For the week we have been in the States little Judson has been trying on two alter egos– Captain Gassy Pants and Hypermaniac. In between times he’s his typical smiley self, but at dinner tonight he was crying because of tummy troubles. [...]
