Food Truck Craze

IMG_4222

Over the weekend my hubby and I went to a Moveable Feast with the little one.  What is a Moveable Feast you ask???  Moveable Feast is basically catering on wheels.  A bunch of Food Trucks go to a location and serve their delicious and innovative foods.  These Food Trucks aren’t your ordinary Food Trucks, they make yummy meals that are unique, flavorful, and addictive!  Yes, I said addictive!  My ultimate …

Beach Sunday!

So this past Sunday, we took our families to the beach.  We just loved seeing our kids cheerfully playing in the sand and wondering what they would do next.  My son was at awe when I took him down to see the waves.  You can see him in a trance, looking out seeing the water crash onto the shore.  It was the first time I saw him impressed by what …

With the holidays here, I am busy running around getting stuff on my to-do list done.  One big thing I can cross out are my Christmas Cards.  I am SO happy I got it done in one afternoon.  I got a lot of help with my Silhouette Cameo.  It totally cut my card making time by a half!  Not only that, I can browse through the Silhouette Online Store for …

Family

Even though I have a family of my own I find myself still going over to my mom and dad.  Not for money, not for help, but for comfort.  My hubby was out of the country a couple of weeks ago and I felt kind of…well…lonely and depressed, so I packed up and took the dog and toddler to my parents’ house.  While there, the hubby’s absence was not obvious …

Exhausted

Don’t get me wrong… I LOVE being a mommy to my son. But, there are those days when I just feel so exhausted. When I am having one of those days, I just want to get away. From getting up at 3 am to feed my son, working from 8am to 5pm, cooking dinner for my husband and I, making baby food, cleaning up after my son, taking care of …

Hard to Say Goodbye

  After my sister texted me about the Silhouette CAMEO (pic above from Silhouette) , I couldn’t help thinking how stupid I was to get rid of all of my scrapbooking stuff!  What was I thinking?!  I used to be a scrapbook maniac.  I went to those scrapbook conventions, attended classes, bought paper, embellishments, cardstock paper, albums,  ribbons, paper organizers, you name it…I had it. I still go ga-ga over …

Hooked on Pinterest

Okay…in the beginning I wasn’t too keen with the the idea of Pinterest.  Who would spend the time making boards and pinning various images from the web? I even went to see what was such a BIG deal with Pinterest so I went to find out more.  What was Pinterest?  The first thing you read when you go on their site is, Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard.  I was thinking …

I take him and bring him to our bed for some cuddling time! 8:00 am – I get dressed and get ready to start my day while the hubby has some one on  one time …
