Long time no blog

2010-08-04T14:56:00.006-04:00

Alright it's been well over two years since I created this blog and haven't written anything on it. Lots has happened in the last two years, my pregnancy and the beautiful birth of my twin baby girls. It would be too much for to me upload the entire year gone by, but I have to post pictures of their 1st birthday party that I coordinated with the help of my neighbor. The theme was pink and orange and I must say the colors go great together. Here are some of the pictures highlighting the event. Enjoy!

Fall Martini Party

2008-11-20T15:59:00.003-05:00

My fall arragement, not bad for an amateur

My neighbor Esther standing and my BFF from work!

Esther, Esther, Eli and Karen

My fall table display, very nice if I say so myself.

My neighbor and I don't' always need a reason to have a get to together ( or a getty as my kids would call it) We created a fall theme for this party and had harves-tini's to go along with. You wonder what a harves-tini is? Well the ingredients were OJ, Patron, Amaretto and a splash of tabasco! Real tasty, spiced OJ for sure! Make yourself one someday.

Baking again ??? people at work are asking me to stop.

Thanks to the blog Crepes of Wrath and her shared recipe I created these beautiful and tasteful treats my the girls. As you could see they couldn't wait to eat them!

2008-08-25T21:52:00.001-04:00

This is my new found interest, although eating them shouldn't be part of it. I had also made cupcake balls but they didn't last very long. These cupcakes I made for my birthday and I must say so they were delicious. Of to make more cupcakes and cupcake pops. Pictures coming soon!

I can't believe how the time has passed. My first born is a junior in highschool and has just received her school ring. It's seems like yesterday she was a little baby in my arms and now I must let her go soon in to the arms of the world.

A Day in Beautiful South Florida. Last week during spring break we went to the beach with my neighbor and of course I couldn't resist taking pictures of Bella! She is absolutely breathtaking....and of course so was the day!

2008-03-31T11:34:00.002-04:00

After reading some of the blogs I visit everyday, I thought I would post about the animals in my life. There are many four dogs and two cats. The dogs live inside and the cats out( i inherited them after their mother abandoned them at my house. They all think they are the same breed. As you will see the cats are not fearful of the dogs and they are truly united. Enjoy. I love my babies.....
