The Sunday Roast

What in the world is A Kaishon?

swimmingfirsttime 039
I have a real treat for us this week with some stunning phography from a very well known and liked blogger. Aren't these photographs absolutely brilliant?


Life with Kaishon is written by Becky

who lives in a Philadelphia Suburb in Pennsylvania.


Life With Kaishon is a blog about the adventures of her son and her family.


Thank you for the interview, Becky.


A very warm welcome to you and your followers





Here's the first of the standard questions. Why do you blog?

It is so fun to share our days with the world!

I loved my friend Gretchen’s blog and I wanted to have something to share like this with my own little muffin!

My son can look back someday and see what we used to do when he was little! I love that.

What's the story behind your blog name?

Can you believe there is no story? I needed a name and that just came to mind so I zapped it in and now we are stuck with it.

What is the best thing about being a blogger?

I have met so many sweet blogging friends. I love the community and the friendships. Blogging has made my life richer.

What key advice would you give to a newbie blogger?

Have fun. Make it snappy! Put a picture in your post.

(Stunning photographs, Becky)

What is the most significant blog post you've ever read?

The birth story of Nella Cordelia.

Do not read unless you are prepared to cry.

What is the most significant blog post you've ever written?

Wow. Most significant?

Here’s to kids who are different by Digby Wolf.

If you were to suggest three blogs for roasting who would you pick, and why?

Grandma J is one of my most favorite bloggers. She is the fun and quirky Grammy you had when you were growing up and she will always make you smile! lady Communal Global is a great blog. Lola from Utah created it and it is a fun way to view the world each day thru the eyes of women all around the globe!Study 1 - black border (resized 150) Drew from Happy Chaos is an outstanding photographer and a fun blogger. She is a great person to meet and visit. I never click away without a smile on my face.

That concludes the formal aspect of the interview but it would be nice to get to know you a little better while you are slowly turning on the roasting spit. So while you are screaming in agony above the open fire here are a few more questions for you.

Pick three things you can't live without (no you cannot have ice cubes to cool you down)


Things and not people? If it was people that would be so easy (Jesus, Kaishon, my Family)

I could not live without my camera, my black yoga pants or my coconut coffee from Dunkin Donuts!

(Beautiful answer, Becky)

If we were to make a movie about blogland, what would it be and who would you cast in the leading roles?

A movie about blogland? How about we write a book instead. In the book we would all think that we loved the other bloggers and then we would meet in real life and be intensely disappointing.

(You most probably have a point there)

If you could live your life again who would you be, and why?

I have loved this life so very much. I don’t think I would change. I would make myself skinny though! : )

(Great that you are so pleased with life as it is - a lot of you fellow roastees are of the same opinion)

You have been given a wonderful talent from above. This causes you to make your mark on humanity and be world famous. In which area would prefer: a best selling novelist, a brilliant artist, a gifted musician, a fantastic singer, a charismatic leader, anything you choose, and why?

I would pick brilliant photographer. I think the beautiful thing about life is that all of us ARE given a talent from above. We have to make our lives count in whatever way we can and find our talent!

(I think you are already a brilliant photographer and I am sure every reader will agree)

If you were an ice cream cone, which flavor would you prefer and who would you most want to lick you?

I like pistachio! Green is my favorite color. Plus, I am totally nutty! I suppose my sweet husband Gary could lick if he wanted :) all other lickers need to stay far away because that would creep me out!

(And quite right too!)

Describe in one sentence your perfect day

One sentence? Oh my.
Vacation with all the ones I love.

If you were a fictional writer which one would you be and why?

kaishon 9

I have to pick a writer too?
Oh me. Oh my! What will I do?
I like Shel Silverstein, and Eric Carle-
Who, oh who’s identity should I borrow?
Dr. Suess would win today-tis True.Tis true!

(Love your highly original reply - you're a poet and we didn't know it!)

What was your most embarrassing moment?

I have done so many embarrassing things in my life. Here is a post about one of them… Unbelievable (no pictures in this post!)

(I'm off to have a read and to enjoy some more of your fantastic photographs)

And finally if you have answered all these questions I invite you to ask me one in return - it's the least I can do. OK fire away!

Do you visit blogs every day?
What is your favorite thing about blogging Eddie?

That's two questions! Can't you ladies count? LOL
I visit blogs when, and as often, as I can, yet unfortuantely I have insufficient time to devote to blogging in general at the moment. I hope this will be rectified when our major house refurb is complete and when I am FULLY restored to full health after my hip replacement operation. Sunday Roast work is quite time consuming and I am pleased to say I am managing to keep that going but it is a bit frustrating that I cannot fully crack on with more writing and visiting.
To answer your second question, my favorite thing about blogging is getting to know people, making them laugh (or cry) and generally inter-relate with bloggers. I have made some really great bloggy friends. I also want to find time to write up my ambulance stories and other events experienced in my life.

Thank you for this fun interview! I will end with a quote as I do in many of my own posts:

‘Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.’ ~Plato

(A great Plato quote - we should all say this every day, as soon as we awake. Thank you again Becky for your wonderful interview. It is a privilage to have you on the show)

  6. That was a fantastic interview with someone that I already *know*.
    Becky's photos are very professional (I think) so I feel she already has that gift!
    The photos looked very good on the Sunday Roast and definitely showed Becky's character.
    I love her hair!!!!! Love her answers and of course I loved the pictures.
    Well done to both of you!

  7. I too am a big fan of Becky's blog oh and of Becky and her family too. Because she is such a spectacular photographer, it made this Sunday Roast even more special. And the thing about Becky is how much sense she makes in her posts and here in the roast as well. The quotes she puts by her photos are well thought out and match the photos perfectly. The special writing she adds in her own words are beautiful words showing us the amazing woman behind the camera. I am so glad this week's roast is this unique woman.

  8. Another fun interview. I believe I asked two questions of you, also. Why do women do that? It's because we know that you really meant to say "ask me a couple in return." You just didn't know you meant to say that.

  9. Thanks Eddie...another good one to add to my list.

  13. I've been reading Life With Kaishon for quite a long time now, and yes her photography is outstanding. But what I like most about Becky is her warmth and upbeat attitude. Somehow she manages to do all of this and deal with really heavy stuff at work all day.

    She's a ray of sunshine!

  19. Eddie, you're doing a really great job with the Sunday Roast.
    I got a bit worried that you might stop doing it, cos i enjoy it with my morning cuppa each Sunday.

    It's so interesting to read interviews with other bloggers. The photos in this one are fab, esp the water splash one and the one with lemons.

    And, whenever you get to write the ambulance stories, I'll be waiting!
