Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!!!!

Today is such a magical day! I'm sure that I've said this a thousand times, but life is just more magical, with a baby. :) You see life in a different light. I've always enjoyed Easter. The rebirth. Knowing that Jesus gave us everything. Including his love and life. With our daughter, it feels like we're experiencing everything, for the first time.

See that cake? I found it, doing a little Google search. The minute I seen it, I knew I had to make it. Why? To take to Lola and Guy's house. Today. After Mass. We're going to be celebrating this beautiful day, with so many people that we love. Happy Easter! I hope the Easter Bunny remembered my chocolate!

Sleeping Bunny

Today while Miss B napped, and my hubby was working on our yard, I took to Ravelry. :) And I found this adorable little bunny. Perfect for Miss B's Easter Basket. This is a quick and easy pattern. That I whipped up, during naptime. I can't wait until Easter!

Happy Mother's Day!

I just wanted to wish all the moms out there a wonderful Mother's Day! All the moms, grandmas, and women in general deserve an amazing day. For all the love and nurturing they do for us. I know I'm blessed with the most loving mom out there! And so many amazing women that make my life better. :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Easter! We're spending our holiday with family and friends. Something we don't get to do a lot. Both my hubby and I are really excited about that! And hopefully the Easter Bunny brought you plenty of candy. You know, the good stuff...chocolate! :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you!

We're not the "crazy, beer drinking, partying" kind of people. Nor are we Irish. But I think St. Patrick's Day is a fun holiday.

We don't have any big plans. Just a fun "green" themed meal after church tonight. And of course, I picked out the perfect green outfit. Other than that, we're pretty low key. Maybe I'll convince my hubby to go shopping for some flowers for our yard. After our tough winter, we need to give our yard a lot of TLC!

Happy Love Day!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Valentine's Day! My hubby and I celebrated over the weekend. With a special little trip. We rented a cabin in the mountains. And just "hung out." It was so nice to get away for a few days. With no stress. Or urgent feelings to do all kinds of things.

Tonight, we're going to watch a movie, and have a simple meal. Doesn't that just sound so amazing? I think so. It's something that we should do more often. Just enjoy each other's company. And we're going to do that tonight. :)

Happy New Year!

What a year! Last year, well it ended pretty crazy. And we're just hoping for a much better year in 2011. Today, I just want to think of all my family and friends. And just be grateful that we're all healthy. And the my Tio is on the road to recovery. Such a blessing!

And to all of you out there, Happy New Year! May it be filled with all your dreams, good health, and lots of happiness!

Merry Christmas

This is definitely not the Christmas we had imagined. Not the quiet holiday, with just my hubby and I. But we are still surrounded by love. And more importantly, by family. And our Tio is holding on. That's the most important thing.

What a tough holiday it is. You never expect that your family is going to be struggling at this time of year. That you will know someone who is fighting for their life. Or that you are planning on spending the day in a hospital. But we're family. And when times get tough, we stick together. And that is just what we are going to do. Stick together. Support our Tia and Tio. And our prima.

Please say a few extra prayers. My Tio desperately needs them. He is not getting worse, but he's still in ICU. It's a tough time for our family. And we could use all the love and support we can get.

Merry Christmas!

Red and Aqua Christmas

With Christmas just 10 days away, I'm allowing myself to dream a little. And when I came across this picture, well I was just so giddy inside!



For as long as I can remember, Red and Aqua have been my favorite color combination. Our kitchen is decorated in this combo. And I just love it. But to see Christmas inspired pictures...well that just made my day!

Now I have tons of ideas for next year. I just need to start getting everything together. How fun is it going to be, to decorate just like this. These colors really do make me smile!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is truly one of my favorite days of the year. When we celebrate our family and friends. Our "togetherness." And we're just happy to break bread together. It's a magical day.

My hubby and I feel so grateful to spend this day with all of our family and friends. To share a meal. And to be part of "the bigger picture." It's important "to grow our relationships." And to make tighter and stronger bonds with each other.

On this day, I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving! That you may have plenty of delicious food. And lots of "togetherness" with the ones you love!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!

I just LOVE Halloween. The dressing up. All the candy. Handing out candy to all the kiddos in the neighborhood. It's all so much fun! And it makes me feel like a kid again.

One of our favorite traditions is ordering some yummy pizza, and making lots of yummy treats! I'm talking a ton of appetizers and desserts. We're ready with a fully decorated house, lots of spooky music, and some fun Halloween movies.

What are some of your favorite Halloween traditions? Do you still dress up? Or am I one of the only 30 something year olds that likes to dress up. You know, just to hand out candy. :)

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! This is such a special day. To celebrate our country. To remember the men and women who serve, and who have served our country. How special the United States of America is!

I feel so lucky to be an American. To get to celebrate our country's birthday. So special! A time to really reflect on our country. Where it's been, and where it's going. This should be a day of reflection. A day so special. And right.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

I just love this time of year! I feel so "refreshed." Like I've been on this long journey. And I've just reached my "goal." It feels so special. And important. I'm so grateful for my religion. It's so important to me. And to my family.

I hope everyone has an amazing day! Happy Easter to you and all of your families. This has always been such a fun time of year. Everything is beginning to grow. And it feels so new and fresh. I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

Happy Valentine's Day

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Valentine's Day! I hope your day is filled with lots of love, happiness, and lots of time with your loved ones.

There was once a time when I hated Valentine's Day. I really hated it! But now, I understand that it's more about the people that you love. Not just the "romantic love." Take some time to just love the people in your life. Whether it's romantic love, or love for your family and friends.

And if you're anything like me, you'll enjoy lots of chocolate. Maybe some flowers. And lots of time trying to get smiles from your favorite people!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy New Year!

I just want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! I always look at the New Year as a time to "start over," and to grow. I like to set lots of goals for myself. Not short term, but the long term goals. The ones that will truly make a difference in my life.

Today my hubby and I are doing just that. Making goals for ourselves. Things that include finances, goals as a family, and things we'd like to accomplish. It's important to us. It helps us to grow not only as individuals, but as a couple.

For all of you, I hope that 2010 will bring lots of happiness. Lots of achievement. And lots of peace. All the things that are really important in life. It's all at our fingertips on this new day, and new year.

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! We're spending ours with family and friends. Just the way it was meant to be. And it's been an amazing day! Filled with lots of love, laughter, prayer, food, and loved ones.

I'm truly blessed. Beyond all the gifts. We're so blessed to have the family and friends that we do. I hope you all had a great day too! Now I'm off to have some cookies and milk. And watch another fun Christmas movie with my loved ones!

Merry Christmas!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! What a fun, and family oriented holiday. Honestly, I look forward to Thanksgiving more than I do Christmas. I just seems so special. Without much to worry about. Other than all the yummy food.

I look forward to lots of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. And of course, time with my loved ones. We always play board games, laugh, and spend the night eating lots of desserts! Such a magical day!

I hope everyone has a great day. One filled with loved ones, plenty of food, and good health. It's just the kind of day that we all need. A day to relax and enjoy our loved ones.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween!

Can I tell you something? Halloween is one of my favorite holidays ever! Honestly. Who doesn't like to dress up? And all the free candy!

I know, I'm many years past the "trick or treating" age. But I still really enjoy this holiday. More so now. When I get to handout candy. And celebrate in a different way. I still dress up. And I honestly look forward to it. Is that weird? I hope not. Because I really do enjoy it!

And you know what, it's another day for me to eat yummy food. I use Halloween as an excuse to indulge. Even right before my wedding. I still found the time to order some yummy pizza, and make some monster foods. Yum!

Happy Halloween!

Happy 4th of July!

What an amazing day! Filled with patriotism, fireworks, food, family, and friends! The perfect way to spend an summer day. I feel so excited! And the celebration hasn't even begun.

Don't you just feel so happy to be a citizen? To celebrate the beautiful country that we live in. To really love everything that we have. We are so lucky to live in this country. To have our freedoms. And the chance to chase after our dreams!

Happy Birthday USA!!!
