Valentines Getaway

Me and my love got to enjoy a last-minute valentines getaway when we realized we had a free hotel night that expired in February. It was such a wonderful time. We found a good Chinese place- we really miss NYC Chinese food.

 Peter brought me to a beautiful candy shop where we got a truffle for each of us- and they were close to closing so they gave us half a dozen free cupcakes!!! Yes please!! :)

We walked around a chilly, pretty, and deserted bricktown river walk and talked and laughed and made out. ;)

We realized that it was exactly our one and a half year anniversary this evening. :) What a full, wonderful time it has been! 

In the morning we got huge breakfasts (half off!) at Cracker Barrel and Peter showed me some other pretty places as we headed home. 

I am so blessed!! <3 

Pinterest who?

I came up with this idea all by myself! Doesn't happen much these days, seen as my creativity is all due to Pinterest. Until I figured out a way to get our Christmas tree out of our house without getting needles all over. I sat there thinking what would Pinterest do? I know they sell bags for these types of conundrums but ain't nobody got time or money for that. 

Enjoy my easy solution! 

Wrap a fitted sheet from the tree top to the bottom of the branches. Tuck bottom branches into the elastic part of the sheet. Repeat for the back side with a second fitted sheet. 

And voila! That dead thing was out of here without a trace! :) afterwards I just shook out the sheets and threw them in the wash. 

Easy and no mess! :) 

Wondertorium and a Happy New Year!!

   My family -minus my Dad :-( all came down for the New Year!  They drove over 40 hours to see me the baby. We had a great visit full of good food, games, company, ice skating, non-stop fighting over that little bald baby, a trip to the Wondertorium, shopping, and fun times. 

  I hadn't been to the wondertorium before, but it was a really cool place...hard to compare to Rochester's Strong museum of play, but nonetheless I know if I were a kid I would love to visit there.  :-) Even baby Peter found fun things to do. 

 Our friends that told us about the wondertorium were there, also! :-)

Happy New Years to everyone!

Wishing you all a wonderful 2014. :-)

My goal and resolution is time management.  

Lots to do and little time, so I need to get better at redeeming the time I have been given.  

What's your goal for this year?

Funny moments

Just a cute little boy playing with his two doggies. 

It was so cute that of course mommy had to be taking pictures. 

Doggy decided to show off some crazy moves for the camera. He was literally laying like this. Crazy dog. 

"Dog, do you mind?!" Hahahaha 

It made me smile really big on this cozy, snowy December morning. 

Hope it makes you smile too!
