Hey followers! I gotta apologize for having fallen off the planet for the last 2 weeks. I do miss sharing and caring with you all so I’m BACK! I wanna talk to you guys about my most recent dilemma. So I had 4 shoes with me at the cash register and decided I can only leave with 2 (the ones ON SALE) so that my loving husband doesn’t flip out (not that he would – better be safe than sorry) when he sees that I got 4 pairs of shoes in one outing. I’m not one of these girls who have to buy a pair of shoes every...
Ok its official, my To Do list is a To Do book!!! Between work, home, car, projects and my part-time work- the lists never end. I have little pieces of paper everywhere I look. I think I spend more time making lists than actually getting what is on the lists done! My husband and I have been experimenting with different list writing techniques. When we do not have a good list, things can get ugly. Bad lists = bad fights with Jason and I. We have recently learned that list writing is a technique that needs to be mastered. I am not...
Tonight my twin cousin Kathy came over for some good old quality time together. We cooked a veggie pasta that she saw Rachael Ray make. I call Kathy my twin cousin because we grew up very close and not to mention we do look similar (which is a huge compliment for me cause she is a beauty!) Tonight was just a reminder to me about how important it is to spend time with those that mean a lot in your life. Sometimes life gets in the way and we forget to actually LIVE each moment to its fullest! This coming August Kathy is getting married...
Hello Truth Seekers!Sorry I fell off the earth and haven’t blogged in a few days. I was in Florida this past weekend to celebrate the marriage of my husband’s cousin. Congratulations Andrew & Annie. The wedding was an intimate beach wedding. We all gathered around the couple to witness their love and vows to each other. It was my first beach wedding and it was so special. On that note- for all you brides and grooms to be, how is the wedding planning going? Where do you plan on having your wedding? Any new ideas? ...
For all you superwomen out there! I wanted to write you all a word of encouragement! I know of a woman, 25, planning her wedding, her fiancé is working with the U.N on a mission, she is studying to finish her masters, taking care of the selling her house, and I think there may be one more thing she’s doing… It’s just slipping my mind. Anyways, to her and every other superwoman out there who may not necessarily be doing all these things but who is doing her share of juggling’! I say keep at it! It’s the only thing...
Do you have parents, friends, family that always gives you fabulous leftovers? My hubby and I are so lucky to have great family that are always making lots of food and sending us leftovers. We constantly have food, sometimes too much. Jason and I love cooking and eating together but sometimes it feels like we shouldn’t cook because we would be wasting food since we have so much in the fridge already. What do you do? Graciously take the yummy leftovers and be thankful or do you say no thank you and get cooking by yourself? ...

Easter for my family is huge…and when a meal is being planned you can guarantee that nobody goes home hungry. This year Easter was special, we had my wife’s and Nadia’s family over at my parents. Now there are some foods that are a must for any Easter celebration. This year the center attraction was a 35 lbs lamb! With roasting a lamb there are several pieces that need to be set so that it’s a success. First is to order the lamb. This year we bought the lamb from Mourelatos. The lamb spit was built by Astro Machine...
Easter, Christmas, long weekends, who do we spend them with? Your family or mine? Is it one year here, one there? Whether your family is big or small, who you spend the holidays with can sometime be hard to determine. As for us, we don’t want to upset either side of the family so, we’ve created a schedule! As most holidays are celebrated over a few days, a dinner here, a breakfast there, a lunch back here, and the 2nd dinner anywhere, is usually the formula that works for us! How do you do it?Are you one of those lucky...
