To be honest I get a little bit nostalgic during the Christmas season. Coming from a large extended family I’m used to big big Christmas dinners where two turkeys are barely enough to feed everyone. I’m used to waiting up until at least 10:00 pm to have dinner on Christmas eve, to wait until midnight … Continue reading
My heart is aching for the families in Newtown, Connecticut. Every time I watch the news or read a new article about it I get a tear-eyed and try not to hug the boys too hard. I can’t believe something like this is happening, yet again. My thoughts and constant prayers go out to those … Continue reading
MY BABY IS ONE YEAR OLD! That’s all that’s been on my mind all week. I can’t believe that just a few months ago I was holding a newborn baby in my arms. Joshua has been such as blessing and a wonderful addition to our family. Everything about him, from us thinking he was a … Continue reading
A week in snapshots is finally back, or at least for now until Santa starts getting busy and preparing for Christmas! This week has certainly been a busy one. Then again, which week isn’t??? We celebrated Thanksgiving with good friends on Thursday and on the days before that and after I was either preparing for … Continue reading

This week was a very long week. Daddy left on Monday for Surabaya and we had a long Easter weekend. Chasing two little boys around is not easy, we miss daddy! Both the kids caught colds and the heat and humidity didn’t help at all. However, this is all menial considering the great Sacrifice Jesus … Continue reading
I’ve been trying to make special treats with holiday themes for the kids. Easter was no exception and I was lucky to find this recipe in my good friend Loren’s blog toddlejoy.com. It’s just a marshmallow cereal treat shaped as an egg. I loved how she used fruity pebbles. They are so colorful and perfect … Continue reading
Growing up in Mexico it wasn’t unusual to see a piñata at any party. In fact, it was rather unusual not to see one, even at office parties or when kids were not the main guests to a party. When we were dating, I gave my husband a small piñata for his birthday. I just … Continue reading
Easter is one of my favorite holidays. Not only do I love the significance behind it: Jesus rose from the Grave!!! , but I love the colors and all the neat little accents you can play with. When we lived in Germany, every single department store would display a beautiful array of decorations and lots … Continue reading
