Decided reading more and enjoyed the way you write and the variety of subjects, your travel and the things you observe when many of us took for granted. You are such a gifted person, have a full time career, cooks, travel, blogs and mother to 5 children. This is what I always wanted to be, but I just can't find the time and umphh to even start a blog! Kudos! Hi Mimi, I came across your blog when googling for vanilla beans.

Everything I do seems useless. At times I cry because I think I am wasting my time and that time is passing so fast... It seems like you've got a little milder version of that I go through :). But still makes me feel better that I am not the only blogger who thinks so at times :) I really encourage you to keep on writing! You are an inspiration! You do what you do well, you share useful information. It is an honor for me to read endeavors of a person with a full house, full time job and lots more on her plate. You teach a lot! Thank you for that!!!! Love you, Lola Mimi, there are times when my whole photography looks so crappy to me, I get so frustrated with myself. Everything I do seems useless.

I'd stare at in fear until it went bad. Does it go bad? See, I don't even know. However, I love this blog and I think you have just the right mix of stuff. I love the travel stuff because I'll probably never get most of the places you talk about and I, of course, adore hearing about your kids. I couldn't get enough of the wedding series. You do great work, MiMi. I didn’t comment on the contest post because I would be clueless what to do with real vanilla. I’d stare at in fear until it went bad. Does it go bad? See, I don’t even know.
