Confession #11 - Fruit


La la la la la ........


FRUIT!

Glorious fruit.

Confession: Fruit is my favorite food.

Sweet, crisp, juicy fruit.

Cold grapes from the refrigerator....



Strawberries sprinkled with sugar....



Bananas sliced in a bowl with a little brown sugar and milk....



Hey, because -



:o)

Wild blueberries (aka: "power pellets") on a long walk as a kid through the forest at my grandmother's cottage in Nova Scotia....



Cool, crisp, refreshing watermelon on a hot summer's day....



Feeding my two-year-old daughter tiny clementine slices while she dances around my feet....



Sweet, ripe pineapple....



My first bite of a star fruit as a kid....
(Kind of like a cross between an apple and a tart strawberry.)



Remembering my mouth going numb after eating my first few kiwis....



Sweet white summer peaches....



Honeycrisp apples....



Fruit has the best memories.

.....

Except honeydew and cantaloupe.



And other random melons.



Blechhhk.

Nobody likes melon.



But still -



Mmm, mmm fruit.

Confession #9 - Cute


This post is about CUTE things.

Confession: I love all things cute.

But....

I'm picky about cute things. I'm a little bit of a cute prude.



Take babies, for example.

I know there are people out there who think all babies are just the cutest widdel squishem facies evew.

Lies!

I have seen NOT CUTE babies. It is rare. But it happens.
This doesn't bother me, but I'm not a generalizationer. Is that a word? Probably not.

I'm biased, on thinking my kids are pretty much the cutest ever, but I'm aware of it. They are adorable to me, because they are my babies! And whatever anyone else could ever say, would have no weight on my feelings.

However...

The parents who push their children on everyone else as the cutest ever, when they're not, is just plain uncomfortable.

What do you do? Smile and nod?

Why do you need everyone else to tell you your baby is cute, if you think they're cute already?

I know you're a proud parent.
But please.
Don't ask me to validate your feelings!


Seriously. A baby monkey. I'm melting.



Peek - a - boo = cutest baby game.


Babies discovering everything = cutest.



Babies.



Penguin babies are cute!



Chow chow puppies!! Cutest. This one looks like a panda bear. What on earth made this duplex of awesome cuteness?



Kittens, of course. Cute.



Costumed kittens = eee!



Cute.
