The Stock Household: Picture of the Week: Urban Fun
http://thestockhousehold.blogspot.com/2015/04/picture-of-week-urban-fun.html
Picture of the Week: Urban Fun. What this blog is mostly about these days is the vast differences between living HERE and living THERE. And yes, it's about three cute little girls. That too. When you live in a city, at least our city, there are not many wide open spaces. The pools are.well, let's just save that for a different blog post. The grass is non-existent. We only have one store in the city with a parking lot. I'm not exaggerating. We let them play in the puddles. "Urban fun," said Alison.

The Stock Household: December 2014
http://thestockhousehold.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Picture of the Week: The Wrong Kind of Flowers. Lydia had her "parent observation day" at ballet. It's the closest thing to a recital for this class. Brian came straight from a meeting. He was a little bit late because he was determined to get flowers. In America, that's what daddies do when their little girls have recitals. They bring flowers. Posted by The Stock Household. On Materialism [Or "Why we ARE getting our kids Christmas presents"]. One for each year old they are? Everyone seems to be looking ...

The Stock Household: February 2015
http://thestockhousehold.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Picture of the Week: Adjusted. People want to know how are kids are adjusting. From what I can tell that's about all kids do. They adjust. New playmates? No, you can't go outside right now. Yes, you have to wear clothes today. We're having that. Move to a different country? Adjust, adjust, adjust. I picked up one of Lydia's sketchbooks and found this drawn inside. Lydia," I said, "what is this a picture of? It's our flag Mommy.". Yeah This flag is our flag.". Posted by The Stock Household.

The Stock Household: How Martha Saved My Mondays
http://thestockhousehold.blogspot.com/2015/06/how-martha-saved-my-mondays.html
How Martha Saved My Mondays. She's a little crazy. I mean, let's not forget she went to prison. Also, how on earth does she sheer her sheep, knit her own sweaters (after dyeing the yarn in her acai berry blend) and possess intimate knowledge of heirloom hydrangeas? A few years ago, my friend Dana introduced me to Martha's baking. She gave me this book. People come to my house and look at like a coffee-table book. It has a pictorial table of contents for every cookie organized by texture. They are all here.

The Stock Household: January 2015
http://thestockhousehold.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Picture of the Week: For Delivery. Brian continues to remind me that although these surroundings seem ordinary to me after a while of living here, there are still many things that may seem odd or funny to others. This may be one of them. And almost everything is delivered on motorcycles. Lots of riders wear backpacks stuffed with orders. Other bikes have coolers or hotboxes on the back.

The Stock Household: Regroup
http://thestockhousehold.blogspot.com/2015/08/regroup.html
I use this word a lot since moving here. As in, "Ok, so the store is closed for a holiday, let's regroup and figure out what Mommy will make for lunch." or "Yes, I know I said we'd go read books, but monkeys pooped on my laundry. I'm gonna need to regroup." or "The gas is out. Let's regroup and order pizza! You get the picture. Basically, it's making lemonade out of lemons. It's not a bad thing to teach my kids, and hopefully it's character-developing for me as well. Well, it wouldn't make this sort of b...
