Weekend Pics

 First Fathers Day-  this is one lucky baby to have such a great daddy.  I love seeing them together.    
 They are buddies.

I have been trying to get rid of a nasty cold for almost two weeks now.  So we stayed close to home this weekend. The birthday candles for Kev's cake are still waiting - I need to bake one- kept putting it off hoping I would feel better.  I'm going to try funfetti from scratch- wish me luck!

Being

Our little one is 9 months old.  He acts more like a 2 year old sometimes, he gets this look in his eyes that makes me think how old is he really? There is a lot going on behind those eyes of his.  He is always ten steps ahead of us- wants to take off running, feed himself, and has a mind of his own.  I miss those tiny baby days a lot.  But we are having so much fun!

I have a few minutes of quite time right now- it is so nice and so rare these days....

I am enjoying a few moments of just being-

*Listening-- To the fan whiz above my head, summer is here.

*Craving-- A glass of wine and sushi- we are going out to dinner soon.

*Thankful--For our Health- we have just recovered from a bad bout of colds.

*Looking forward to-- Celebrating Kev's birthday and first fathers day.

Off to Dinner, Bye for now...

Eat Your Veggies

We have been eating a veggie based diet for the past three months.  I was surprised at how easy it was to give up eating meat.  I'm not sure if we will eat like this forever - but for now- I like this change.  I have more energy- and feel lighter after eating a meal.  We do still eat fish about once a week which is nice.  Love going out to sushi!!

It is a good time of year to eat a vegetable and fruit based diet.  The farmer's markets are full with colorful delicious foods.  There is so much variety and so much flavor to explore.  It is fun coming up with meal ideas.

One of our favorites is a veggie sandwich on dark rye bread.

Fresh Start

So much has changed in the past year that I just felt it was time for a change and a new look to my blog. I am really excited to start fresh in this new spot.  I am going to include a few new topics and a different focus.  Thanks for reading along!

I am busy working on refreshing my Etsy Shop.  I will be having some grand re-opening sales in the next few weeks. I also got some new contact cards- I love them!  I can't wait for the rest of the year!  Summer Fall and Beyond :). Exciting things are ahead!
