Remote parenting. Clearly a phenomenon of the twentieth and twenty first century. I have defused arguments, directed the bandaging of wounds and coached homework projects, piano practice and hurt feelings all by phone. My favorite exercise in remote parenting is the end of the day commute warning call. " I am leaving the office right now and will be arriving home in 15 minutes, do not let me walk into a mess...get moving you have a lot to do before I get there!!" Some days it works and I can arrive to find only one or two of the breakfast dishes still on the counter but other days it is an utter failure and nothing short of a cattle prod can persuade my kids to do anything remotely resembling a quick clean up! But I still hold on to my false illusion of control and dutifully dial the house on the commute ...
Friday at last

Hi there
I just stumbled accross your blog by using stumbleupon and must say it makes for a good read! There are so many food blogs out there these days that I have lost count! I do like the design of this one though as it is simple and clean which is what I tried to do when I was blogging. I have started a website for bloggers and chefs around the world to meet each other and promote their blogs. I know from blogging myself that even though I had what I thought was great content nobody would ever find it! That is why I started www.ifoods.tv with the hope of 10000s of poeple seeing all our cool photos, videos and recipes. Hope that you enjoy it and looking forward to seeing your stuff there! Keep up the good work here on the blog and hopefully an even bigger audience will see it soon.
Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate your feedback and I will visit your site.
Peace,
Julia
