To my dad, my papi, you are always in my thoughts and my heart. I think about the times you spent with me guiding me and filling my mind with your wisdom. You were always thoughtful, caring and a very loving father. Even after the divorce, you never let that get in the way of your love for us. You made sure to see my sister and I every week. You never once not kiss or hug me. You taught me how a father should be. I'm so glad and very fortunate I got to spend 19 beautiful years with you. May … [Read more...]

June 19, 2010 by 3 Comments

Did Anyone Guess Right….
June 17, 2010 by 1 Comment
on my WW post? This post was fun even though I only got a few answers. Unfortunately no one was right. Rachel said it was jam. Yona thought it had some avocado in it. Tracey hoped for pesto and Michele thought it was colored sugar. So, are you ready to find out what the "Green Goodness" was? It was homemade GARLIC PASTE!! Somehow the garlic turned green when my husband added a touch of vinegar into the mixture of garlic, a dash of salt, oregano and butter after putting it in the … [Read more...]

I Love Summer But….
June 15, 2010 by 4 Comments
When I want my kids to go to bed at a decent time, they don't. Why? Because they say it's still light out. My five year old says "mom, it's not time for bed yet - I can still see the trees. When it's night time and I can't see the trees anymore, then it's bedtime." WTH? Don't get me wrong. I love the long summer days when you can hang out and enjoy the night time air but when it comes to putting my kids to bed so I can spend some quality time with my hubby, I can't. Maybe I … [Read more...]
