There was the most delicious smell in the air yesterday, and I don’t know what it was. I walked down my road past the goats, sheep, ducks, huge frogs in a little pond, avocado trees, banana trees, towering row of palms, and turned left after the eucalyptus grove on to a dirt path. I followed [...]

Tiffany’s and Pool Politics

I feel like I’m on an anthropology expedition, the peeps here are so weird. I guess everyone’s weird on vacation. I met a real meanie/weirdo yesterday at the pool. The pool is a whole blog entry of its own. Its made to look like a lagoon (everything here is made to look like something else), [...]
J.K. Rowling Commencement Speech, and jungle ranting.

Jungle Mom has left the jungle, but only temporarily and with great resistance. I’ve been taken against my will to the other side of the island, the sunny, dry, non-jungle side. I’m writing this from a resort, though I consider resorts to be the antithesis of who I am. I feel like Alice in Wonderland [...]

House guests are a funny thing, and jungle house guests are even funnier. Back in New England my experiences with house guests were mixed, but often resulted with the guest or guests eating all my food and insulting my kitten. House guests are like that. Here in the jungle, its a new set of rules. [...]

There is a large department store on this island, everyone in America knows its name. We’ve all been there too. Its huge, its sprawling, its everywhere in the States, and I used to be extremely snooty about it. I don’t shop there, I’d say. That store is what’s wrong with America. That was back when [...]
Pineapple Thievery
Posted in Pineapple Thievery, tagged babies, coconut milk, farmer's market, growing pineapple, motherhood, parenthood, tropics, twins on July 14, 2008 | 1 Comment »
There have been rumors of pineapple theft circling the neighborhood. That’s what passes for crime/news around here. Our next door neighbors have been hit on multiple occasions. I’m outraged on their behalf because pineapples are really difficult to grow (I’ve heard). They don’t grow on trees you know! Ha, bet you didn’t know that. I [...]
Jungledad is in big trouble

I made the most gruesome discovery yesterday. No, not tropical flying jungle cockroaches this time. I was about to make coffee (life’s blood when in times of temporary single-parenthood) when I noticed the coffeemaker smelled a little funky. After a bit of sniffing I zeroed in on the coffee pot itself. I unscrewed the top [...]
Twins, Tropics, and Baby Neck Cheese
Posted in Twins, Tropics, and Baby Neck Cheese, tagged baby, neck cheese, palm trees, tropics, twins on July 2, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The twins have a real problem with neck cheese, its been going on for ages. The problem is this: when they spit up, which is a lot, or drink from bottles and manage to get the milk to dripple down, it settles into the folds of their necks. We could just wipe it off if [...]
