Nuetral Thursday

I decided to go for a neutral color on this sunny day. I went to zumba this morning, I had to had my morning exercise fix.
I am feeling great just finished a meal for a family that just had surgery, he was diagnosed with colon cancer and is doing better than what the doctor has expected, we prayed at church for this person, I am so happy and thankful to God.
I made them a Caribbean fried rice which had cubed smoke Virginia ham, cabbage, carrots, corn, leeks, red onions , celery and green onions. I also made my moms chicken in the oven and fried plantains. The kids made lovely cards to cheer him up. Now I am hanging out in front of the TV for a break catching up on my Spanish soaps that I recorded earlier, and then I will start on dinner, tonight we are having pasta, the kids favorite and really easy on mom.

I want to take this time to say thanks to all of you lovely people that visit my blog daily, for each one of your sweet comments that brighten my day. I feel that even though I do not know you (yet), that I have a bond with each one of you. When I wake up each morning , I need to check on each one of you and see what outfit's you are wearing, what is going on in your lives, and also look for words and cool clothes that inspires me. Each one of you are beautiful in their own way. Thanks again. Have a great Thursday.

Relaxing day

Hi fellow bloggers, another relaxing day here for us. We woke up around 10.30 and had a late breakfast, went to school , go a copy of the report card, went to kids new schools with our friend Joyce.
After that we went to the our local library to pay a debt for no returning books on time, it was a lot oopsie . Got to catch on some nice magazine with some amazing food porn pictures.
A trip to the grocery store with my friend Joyce who is cooking for us tonight, what a sweet heart. I had to make sure everything was ok for our son to eat due to his allergies to peanuts, eggs and fish.
Poor thing he is having a hard time cause we were eating something and all of a sudden he was crying when I asked why he is crying he said "I wish I could eat those but I can't" I felt terrible, I rewarded him with Popsicles. We enjoyed the afternoon baking things in the easy bake oven, lounge outside on the porch while kids biked, and scootered if those are real words.
Those beautiful flowers are the ones I planted recently.
In a bit I am heading out to Zumba I have not been for 2 weeks, and I know it is going to be hard, but I so need it to be ready for my sisters wedding.
Have a great Wednesday.

First day of summer vacation

Today I took the kids to a Farmers Market on Buford Highway. We were in need of fruits and veggies. The kids love pineapple, mango and watermelon to name a few. And now that they are home I need to have healthy snacks for them available, cause they are always playing outside and with the warm weather, we need something yummy and healthy to keep them happy.
Bought lots of veggies and also things I need to cook a Caribbean fried rice for a special family who is dealing with a sick family member.
Ok now off to get some groceries I need to make a dutch apple pie.

My blue maxi dress

I have been looking for a maxi dress for a long time, I remember as a little girl seeing my mom in the most gorgeous long dresses, all dressed up to go to parties or social events. I tried many on but did not find one that I liked.
I decided to give Ross a try , my best friend always gets fab finds over there.
I must have tried like 8 dressed that day, lucky me I found this one. Great find. Big thanks to my friend Merle for the tip.
Have a great week, I am on a quest to find more dresses like these.


dress: bought at Ross (?)
sandals: Steve Madden
necklace: bought at Macy's
watch: Kenneth Cole
earrings: handmade

p.s. one question I have been wondering if any of you ladies might be interested in me giving away something handmade. It would be jewelry of course.

Barbecue part 2

Some of the pictures we took at the barbecue. I love it when everybody brings something , my husband made his shrimp on a stick they were awesome as always. As you can see we had lots of fun, I am thankful for family, friend and good food.

Barbecue part 1

We were invited for a barbecue at Martje and Marco's, our dutch friends.
We had fun despite the rainy weather.
Other than the barbecue , we worked in the yard and thanks to the hubby the porch is ready for me to sit and enjoy the kids while they play outside. Now we need the sun to appear for it all to be perfect.
