. . . with thirty-three years of experience. 33!Obviously, this is Kikita and I'm here to write a properly effusive post about my Mom for her birthday.The problem is, I am in no mood to talk about her. I just got back from Miami and am feeling the need to talk about me. The morning that I left for my 5 day trip, my friend giving me a ride to ...

Best of Both Worlds

April 26, 2009 By Marta Darby 7 Comments

WARNING: A little bit of a homeschool rant coming up.... I'm always a surprised that when people discover that we homeschool our children they ask two primary questions.You would think the questions would have to do with the actual mechanics of doing school at home, but they don't. (I know. It's shocking to me, too.) If you ...

I sometimes feel like I do a lot.(and I do, but that's not important right now.)

I cook.And I like to eat.But I don't consider myself a "foodie."  (In fact, I'm not really sure what a foodie is,  but it sounds too much like "roadie" or "groupie" for it to have a positive connotation, but that's not important right now.) Okay, so I admit I sometimes (okay, well.... a lot of ...

The Wish

September 3, 2008 By Marta Darby 9 Comments

3 with 6 zeros

July 31, 2008 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

I started reading Babalú blog a few years ago as a result of a Google search for “Cuba news.” From day one, I was hooked.

There were people out there reading and caring and giving their opinions on what had been written. I loved the forum ...
