What are you suppose to write if you start a blog? I must admit it is a tad bit daunting. It is not as if I am going on some life long dream sailing adventure (check out my brother's blog http://svfieldtrip.blogspot.com/). Although that is what got me thinking...would I like to start a blog? Looks like fun so I got inspired by my brother and sister-n-law's site and here I am!
I will begin with the birth of our first child, Sophia. I have decided to take some time off and enjoy being a mom. Wow, there are so many things that they do not tell you in the books that you read about "What to Expect". One serious question is timing it with the seasons. Next time I have a baby, I will make sure that it is SUMMER/SPRING so we can enjoy some sunshine. It rains a lot in The Netherlands and you are often inside in the Fall/Winter (Cabin FEVER). But seriously, I would not change a thing. Motherhood is an awesome privilege. So what have I been up to? Well, besides getting in the groove with being a parent and learning to speak her language, I have been surfing a lot on the net. It is amazing what is out there! A lot of really interesting people and ideas.
Right now, I am into researching Personality Types and Best Career Choices. Okay, I know I am not going back to work right now but when I do, what is the path that I want to take? Seems like a worthwhile pursuit while I have some time on my hands. I have been researching psychology, coaching, counseling to name a few. Other cool sites that I am into are design blogs (with a mom twist) like this one: /http://www.designmom.com/
Ok, now for the reason for the title of my blog. It is an especially dreary day today and I made some awesome cauliflower soup from www.finecooking.com (if I may say so myself) and there is nothing more satisfying right now than to look outside in the pouring rain and enjoy homemade cauliflower soup with good 'ole Farmer's Dutch Cheese mixed in. I call this comfort food at its best. Did I mention, while I am eating my tasty lunch, Sophia is propped in her chair and staring at me from her little throne. Rain, let it rain -- as I have my soup & sweet smiles from our cooing daughter...what more do you need?
