Beware of the Troll in Target

Beware of the Troll in Target

So M and I ran to Target while C was napping and after a bit she started to get fussy so I headed for the checkout, pausing at the Father’s Day cards. I was rocking the basket and some woman came up as said, “How old is she?” I responded, “8 months” and the shrew went on, “Babies that age don’t cry for no reason” I smiled and said “yeah, she’s getting tired. It’s almost naptime”. This old bat…

M's Monthly Photos - 7 months!!

M’s Monthly Photos – 7 months!!

  M was not excited about the photos at first this month, which led to this gem.  The sweet C, being a good big sister, came over to try to comfort her! After a quick break during which I fed M and we got some snuggles we were ready for attempt #2.

  I think my favorite thing is seeing how much her personality develops as the months go by!

           The final product!!

Chef's Wife

Chef’s Wife

A friend posted a survey on Facebook that said Women think the sexiest job a man can have is being a Chef. 27% of Women voted Chef’s were the sexiest, whereas Firefighters came in 4th with 12%. As a chef’s wife I laughed imagining these women dreaming of gourmet spreads, multi course meals and wine pairings 5, 6, 7 nights a week.  Not that they can’t do it.  Hubs has made some meals that are…

Easter Tomb Cakes!!

Easter is my favorite candy holiday.  Seriously, I visited Cadbury World in Dunedin, I was looking for Oompa Loompas! I even enjoy dying Easter eggs, however I realized quickly that that is not a good idea with toddlers, so I went in search of an alternative cooking craft. My sister quickly reminded me of tomb cakes made when we were in preschool. Crescent Rolls, marshmallows, butter and cinnamon…

Quick and Easy DIY Silver Polish

Quick and Easy DIY Silver Polish

Over the years I have heard my mother say many times she wished she used her fancy silver as her everyday silverware.

When I got married I fell in love with Pottery Barn’s Maxfield Hotel and Antique Silver lines.  The compliment each other beautifully.  So I registered for them and my mother in law got us service for 8.  After being married for 3 years I had used them approximately 6 times.  Each…

Orchard River - Our First Home!

Orchard River – Our First Home!

We bought our first house! With my real estate background my main concern was something that would be a good investment. Yet we couldn’t afford a total fixer upper because that would require cash savings that we do not currently have. It was an emotional journey and after being outbid on another house, we came across a charming townhouse neighborhood behind a park. It was 1650sqft, 3 bedrooms,…
