dream office

I'm dreaming big time... Or should I say, putting the positive vibe out there that want and need this! I so could see myself working out of this space!  Adorable! What type of office space would you like... If you could have any space you wanted? ANY!

cooking party

After much discussion and back and forth changes on what Taylor wanted to do for her birthday... She "finally" decided to have a cooking party! I was thrilled... I thought to myself, no ones done this before and it will be so fun for the kids. I stumbled  upon this  cute little Bakery in Carmel Valley called, Towne Bakery. Adorable & Yummy all wrapped in one! Definitely my kind of place. 

OMG this was the most perfect party ever! No joke! Towne Bakery provided each girl with a white apron and a colorful bandana {too keep} to put their hair back. They decorated butterfly sugar cookies and cupcakes as per Taylor's request. It all went so smoothly and was very simple. The entire time all I heard were giggles and saw endless smiles! I left laughing and doing the happy dance. Best of all Taylor was on cloud nine! She absolutely loved it... They treated her like a princess and were very attentive to her every need. I would so recommend this bakery to anyone who lives in the San Diego area. A must for your next Birthday Party... Rooster Approved!

I'm looking for a Summer Time Nanny in San Diego {Encinitas} for my kids {June thru August}.  I feel you all know me and my family pretty well because of the blog... We love to cook, play, get silly, go on adventures and have FUN, FUN, FUN!  I would like to start now on searching for that right person... College student home for the summer or someone just looking to make extra money during the summer {this is the perfect job}. I can sure promise you... You will be having a blast. Hello, going to the country club, to the beach, coloring, biking, hiking,  mid day movies, swimming, cooking, having play dates... etc. The ideas are endless!

peaceful punch!

Does peaceful punch make sense to anyone? I love the calm soothing feel of a powder blue {anything},  but adding in a punch of color like orange makes me so happy! This combination is fun and classic all wrapped in one. what's your peaceful punch?

 

night reading {keeping it real}...

OK... Don't judge! 

I just finished the trilogy of Fifty Shades of Grey. O.M.G... LOVED IT! The first two books WOW... The third, hmmmm I have to say, I forced myself to complete it. Funny thing is, my assistant, said the same thing... She became uninterested and still hasn't finished the third book. Of course the very end got good and I didn't want to put the book down again. Now It's time to wait for February 14th, 2015... The movie {1st book} comes out! 

Then... I started this book, The Love Dare. This book was recommended to me by a wonderful mom at my kids school. I have to say, it has been extremely interesting. It makes you think about your relationships... Marriage and Friendships. If you're ever in the need for a daily challenge, I say get it. Your eyes will open wide on how you treat your loved ones. OK... Ask yourself, "How do you greet your friends?" Now... Ask yourself, "How do you greet your husband?" Hmmmmm Go get this book!   

 

I started this book, The Happiness Project, last year, right after New Years, 2013... Was totally into it and then I really don't know what happened and stopped reading it. So I decided to pick it back up again and finish it this year, 2014. I'll let you know how happy I get when I'm finished. haha

So last night I  started, The 5 Love Languages... I've heard such good things about this book. If Patti from  Millionaire Matchmaker on Bravo TV, says it's what every woman and man should read... I'm on it! LOL 

Now I ask the famous last question... What should my next read be? Do you all have any good recommendations? Please do tell! I'm on a roll... I need more to keep my mind filled with love and laughter! 

 

OH By the way... I hope I haven't scared my readers {new and old} away... I'm just an honest and open person! I probably say more than I should, but hey, you only live once! So live life to its fullest!

birthday prep...

So my little princess is turning 8 next month. Time sure does pass by fast. Unfortunately, last year Taylor didn't get a birthday party because my father was on his last leg of his illness and my mind was a little distracted. So of course I promised her a big over the top party this year. Way to open my big fat mouth... Yaaa mom of the year! I've been searching high and low on pinterest for ideas... Now, I'm so excited to plan this little "event" for her! I don't want to let the cat out of the bag on what we're doing... But here are some fun decorations that I'm considering!
