Wordless Wednesday – Statued House

I was visiting my mom in the Bronx a few days ago and I came across this house near Pelham Parkway.  I had to take a picture because I have never seen a house with so many statues.  They practically take over the house.  It's like you don't even look at the house because the statues are right there staring at you.  I wanted to knock on the door and ask what was the purpose for all the statues but I couldn't; I didn't have the "balls" (excuse my french, lol). … [Read more...]

When You Have Kids, There’s Always Room For Disappointments.

Unfortunately, that's life when you have kids. Here's why... My family and I had plans to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today. We had it planned since Wednesday, which was the official start day for the movie.  We also wanted to make Sunday a "Family Fun Movie Day" since my husband has been working so much lately.  It's really his only day off out of the week. We were all excited to see it, including my 4 year old. She especially loves Harry Potter.  I think it's because … [Read more...]

I just had to share this with the world!

I've been neglecting my site because of so many reasons. The kids are home all.day.long, we're rarely home and when I am home, I have no time to concentrate (like right now, they're goofing around). I have so many things to write about but when it comes down to putting it all into words and complete sentences, I go blank. Hopefully that will change real soon. Anyway, I wanted to share some funny news with you all.  As I was dressing my 4 year old daughter, she noticed some words on her … [Read more...]

Happy 4th of July – The Year 1995

I was looking through old photos and I found these below that were taken near the 4th Of July in 1995.  This was a year before I had my son and when hubby and I were just dating; dating for 5 years to be exact. It was a great day. The sun was shining, people were full of so much joy and the Twin Towers were standing up high and proud. Ahhh, the good ol' days... Oh, how I miss them. So I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Have a wonderful 4th Of July everyone! *double-click the … [Read more...]

Happy “Late” Father’s Day

(This post was scheduled for Monday but for some reason, it was never posted, so here it is.....days later) This past Sunday was a very special day to all the Dad's out there that are active in their kid's life.  I say "active" because there are many father's out there that don't even acknowledge that they have kids so the moms have to be both Mom and Dad. So to those moms, Happy Father's Day to you too!  I hope it was a good day. I was one of the lucky ones. My Dad was a wonderful … [Read more...]

WW – Zing, Zang, Zoom!

We went to the circus about two weeks ago and we had a ball. The kids are still talking about it. I had fun but I felt bad for some of the animals, especially for the elephants. I hope they start taking good care of their animals because without them, there is no circus. Anyway, here are some pictures for today's Wordless Wednesday. Enjoy! A big thanks to Mom Central for providing me with the code "Mom" for a great discount of $15 each ticket. … [Read more...]

There’s alway a funny kid’s moment at my house!

My four year old daughter LOVES to dress herself. She dresses and undresses herself all the time. If I try to help her, she gets upset.  So I leave her alone. She is a very independent girl when it comes to that. So one day, after running a whole lot of errands, she mentioned to me that she was getting tired and asked if she could put on her pajamas. I was in the middle of cooking dinner so I told her she knew where her pajamas were and that she can go to her room and change. She … [Read more...]
