Micki’s Morsels

Missed Music Monday

One of my best bloggy friends, Intrepid, always has music Mondays.  I’ve been futzing with this flighty post for days, trying to get it to post properly. This is my 14 year old daughter singing. I wrote the lyrics to “Prince Charming” & “Belonging” (except the part where she says “now” twice…that drives me nuts…I didn’t do that). Digression is the new progress. Anyway, she wrote and played the music to those two songs.  And, she completely wrote “Home” herself. Let me know what you think!

Inspired By My Life.

What’s up?  Micki only feeding her family dessert these days?  As you can see by my recent posts, with the holidays, I am on a sweet kick. But I have also been writing a series of children’s books called “So Susie.” Inspired by working from home while taking care of a toddler; I always have a story to tell.  Well, that and my stepdaughter, a very talented artist/illustrator needed some work.   We’re almost done with the first book “Time To Eat.”

In this book, Susie is a big girl, who demonstrates her table manners, then teaches them to her baby doll.  I have also written “Time For Preschool” where Susie is afraid to leave mommy but ends up loving it & playing “school” with her baby doll.  And in “No More Binky,”  Susie learns that when babies get bigger, their pacifiers “break.”

Paying it Forward: Micki’s Morsels Receives Arte Y Pico Award.

To see the origin for Arte Y Pico, click on the picture or text link.  This award is given to blogs (5 at a time) based on their creativity, design, interesting material, and contribution to the blogging community, no matter what language.

I’m also in advertising (Harlow & Company, Inc.), so I love me some accolades!  Anyway, thank you to the award giver and one of my favorite bloggers, Intrepid, of Intrepid Ideas. This guy has his eyes wide open as he travels the world, snapping some photos, reflecting, and passing along precious bits for a life without regrets.

Since he already received the award, I won’t give it back to Intrepid, but CONTINUE READING FOR MY 5 PICKS… (more…)

In case you were worried that I may take myself too seriously…Meet Zachary.

Zachary is 7-1/2.  He told a friend/neighbor last night that her food doesn’t taste as good as mine; she must not cook very much.  She didn’t mind.  Thank God.  But I told her that I have instructed him to be more kind with his opinions after what he said to me the night before.  “Mom, I don’t like my supper.  It made me throw up in my mouth.” Of course, I know and love my little drama queen, so I simply made him something else, which he liked very much.  While he was off playing, I mashed up everything on his plate, threw it in a pot with some leftover mashed potatoes, milk, and cheddar cheese, and called it “potato soup.”
