I can't believe how fast the year has already gone, it is already the first of February. Today at school all my kiddos were so excited about Valentine's Day. I was trying to tell them all about the other holiday's this month, but they only had eyes for the 14th. Who can blame them? Valentine's Day is a day full of candy and love and presents! It got me thinking that I only have a couple … [Read more...]
Coco is growing up way too fast these days. He is truly all boy and loves to be rough and tough with everyone and everything. My sister in law had mentioned getting him a rocking horse for his birthday, which I thought was a great idea considering he loves animals and is completely fearless. Unfortunately, our house is getting smaller by the second because of all his toys and games, so I … [Read more...]
I am so excited to share TJ's fun new tractor from Step 2. I don't know where his love for tractors came from, but whenever we see one he literally screams out loud, "Tractor, Mommy!" When I saw the Pedal Farm Tractor I knew that TJ would love it. Step2 is a wonderful company who is the largest American manufacturer of preschool and toddler toys. The Step2 family also includes Thinkativity … [Read more...]
I had a fantastic Mother's Day this year. My husband spoiled me this year. He got me a massage that I desperately need, and he cooked and cleaned the house (although to be honest he does do most of the cleaning) while I got to relax and play with TJ. We had a fabulous brunch with his family at our traditional hotel. TJ and his cousins danced and had a blast. It was the perfect day. I … [Read more...]
I love a great glass of red wine. There is nothing to compare to a relaxing dinner with friends and family with a glass of wine and good company. As a mom, I don't get as many chances to do this as I would like, and this weekend I would love to celebrate being a mom with a nice glace of wine. A couple of weeks ago we received one of the best bottles of wine that I have ever tried. The … [Read more...]

You might be surprised to know that I am not a huge fan of Valentine's Day. Its not that I don't love the lovey dovey stuff, its just that I think you should let the people you love know you love them all the time. I don't like that society has deemed a day that you have to have a lot of pressure on you to do something extra special for the ones you love. I try to pick a random day here and … [Read more...]

The holiday's in my family consist of several family get-togethers that include a lot of food. I love being in charge of the appetizers because I love finger foods. I am constantly trying to find creative ways of displaying the appetizers that I create. One fabulous way of displaying different meats and cheeses is using an elegant chopping block. I recently was sent a wine shaped chopping … [Read more...]
