"This is the best day ever, Mom!" That is what my 5 year old told me right before she met Chuck E. Cheese. She was so excited to have her 5th birthday at one of her favorite places. I've been hearing a lot about a Chuck E. Cheese party for months now but I was reluctant because the place can get kind of "wacko" with all the kids running around. Let's not forget about the parents - who can also get "wild" too. Have you heard about adults fighting at Chuck E. Cheese? I could not believe it … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday – My Two Girls
March 10, 2010 by 28 Comments
I've had a busy week. My daughters birthdays are just days apart (11 yr. old is the 7th and 5 yr. old is today) from each other and I've been feeling overwhelmed lately. Good thing my 11 year old was ok with not having a party this year (last year she had a huge party) so we are celebrating my 5 year old's birthday at good ol' Chuck E Cheese's with all of her friends from school. So happy birthday to my big girl and happy birthday to my little girl. Just know that you will always be … [Read more...]

Mom Of A Teenager
September 1, 2009 by 8 Comments
My son is 13 years old today. I can't believe this. It's official. I'm a mom of a teenager! I know I'm not that old but I sure do feel old. I was 21 when I had him. I can still remember the day I found out I was pregnant. I bought a pregnancy test at a pharmacy store on Central Ave. in Yonkers, NY. My boyfriend (my husband now) and I decided to eat lunch at Nathan's not far away. After we ate, I told him that I wanted to take the test. He wanted me to wait until we got home. … [Read more...]

Almost WW – Surprise!

Lately, I have been totally addicted to Bakerella. She has the most amazing cupcakes, cake pops and goodies you could ever imagine. I wish I was there to taste each and every goodness. So since I can't be there, I tried to be Ms. Bakerella for several hours and made this: and this: It took me about 4 hours from start to finish. It wasn't that difficult to make but since it was my first time making them, it took awhile. It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. She makes it … [Read more...]
I had a great day!

I had such a nice birthday that it lingered on to the rest of the week. So that is the reason why I haven't blog since Tuesday (So I thought; look down below this post and you'll know why). I really had an awesome day, thanks to my husband. He was like my personal shopper/personal bag carrier. It was nice because he hates to shop, especially when it comes to clothes shopping because I am so picky. First, we went to Best Buy to day dream about the big flat screen LCD TV's. They are so … [Read more...]

Happy Birthday Papi!

Today's my Dad's birthday. He would've been 56 years old. Even though he is not here with me in real life, I feel he is with me in spirits. He died 14 years ago, at the young age of 42, from complications with diabetes - Just a week after we came back from our vacation from Florida. It was a HUGE shocker to the whole family because he looked so healthy. No one knew he was sick. He was always very thoughtful, lovable and a very caring person. Everyone that knew him, loved him. He was … [Read more...]
