Caught in the Act

Ok so today I was playing with my camera (something I do on a daily basis) when I noticed a few pics that weren’t there before.  Have a look… These are the only non blurry photos my Chica has taken.  Notice though the last picture is of herself!!!  I guess she didn’t realize she’d get…

MY BIRTHDAY!!

Today is my Birthday!!!  I usually don’t make a big fuss about my birthday but decided to just have fun and roll with it.  I’m going to relax and have ice cream all day and…, no I’m going to sew and read and…, no wait I’m going to watch movies and get a massage…  No…

Summer Vacation

Phew!!!  Am I tired!!  The passed few days have been full non stop projects as well as the last day of class for my eldest girl.  We’ve been getting ready for the summer by getting a kiddie pool as well as planning some trips for the summer.  Summer Vacation is officially today and I can’t…

Gift Ideas

Mother’s day is a few weeks away but I’m already planning and plotting for great custom made gifts.  One of the gift ideas I have in mind is a key finder.  I often find myself plopping my keys in my purse but when I need them I have to dig inside my purse to find…

Going to the Drive-In

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always wanted to go to the drive-in theatre.  I’ve only been to the movie theatres (and that was twice!) and when I was older many of the dates Tan and I had were to the movies. I never knew drive-ins truly existed (except in movies) until Tan had taken…
