Happy St. Patrick's Day and A Layout

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I made this 8 x 8 layout of my mom and her siblings a couple years ago. Picture left to right are Uncle Bobby (RIP), Aunt Adeline, Aunt Buster, my Mom and Aunt Mary. I love this picture of them at the St Patty's Day Parade in Hoboken 2008.

I hope you all have a wonderful St. Patty's Day! Stay Safe and God Bless!

Happy Easter

Happy St. Patrick's Day Pictures and Layout

This layout is from March 2009. Pictured are my mom, 3 of her sisters and 1 of her brothers at Hoboken's St. Patty's Day parade.


Travis' 17th birthday is Friday, March 19. Since we won't see him, I made his favorite dinner tonight, Peppersteak. Yummo! We then sang Happy Birthday to him and off to work Travis and Sara went.


This is how my girls dressed for school today. All dolled up as usual. I put so much green in Emma's hair this morning and you can't even see it. bummer.

If you go out partying tonight, be safe!

Lee's Hawaiian, Daughtry and Kid's Camping Out

Great way to end 2009 we took the girls to one of our favorite restaurants, Lees Hawaiian Islander then back home to a quick cleaning of the living room so we could get comfy and watch Daughtry live on Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve countdown! The girls decided they wanted to camp out in the living room. We were freezing!!! Emma fell asleep around 10pm, I took a nap from 10:40 to 11:50 but not Victoria she actually stayed up until midnight. So proud of her, she was very determined to stay up and watch the ball drop. I woke up just in time to watch it with her. Mark fell asleep in bed around 9:30, so I just wished him happy New year now. lol Sara went out with Travis and his family and got home around 1:30 or so. All in all it was a good night.

Victoria watching all the happy people in Time's Square and laughing with Emma.

Emma all cozy on the living room floor.... she had a bad case of the giggles

Max is all pooped out. Not sure why - All he does is sleep. lol

Our tree after Santa came.

I hope that everyone has a Happy Healthy New Year. xoxoxo

Warm Winter Wishes Card

Christmas is over :( . It went way too fast. So much time is taken to shop, prepare food and make plans with family. Then in a blink of an eye it is done. I was able to make some cards up before Christmas to hand out to some family and teachers. I followed a sketch I saw on Scrap Expression. I made 8 total. Above are 2 samples of what I created. I decided that today is a good day to share since we need "Warm Winter Wishes" on this extremely cold and windy day. I have been spending time with the kids playing with their new Christmas goodies. They have been getting along so well! :) I was sick over Christmas and the weekend so they just let me chill until I was feeling better. Tomorrow we are heading to the mall to spend some of the gift cards they received. May you all have a Happy New Year!

Baking, Cooking and Roasting Marshmallows

What a great day! Even though I am not feeling well, I have Christmas spirit in me. Started early this morning making sauce and lasagna, then cookies. Went to the grocery store twice and boy was it packed. haha The girls helped out cleaning the house which was so wonderful! At dinner we let the girls open their Christmas ornaments and one other gift each. They were so happy and thankful... Unfortunately, Sara is out with Travis and his family so she will have to wait until tomorrow. They girls love to roast marshmallows in the fireplace and watch Christmas movies all night. As they went to bed, Victoria grabbed the story Twas the Night Before Christmas and told me she was going to read it to Emma before they fell asleep. Isn't that sweet of her. I love my family!!!

Merry Christmas to all my family and friends! Enjoy your holiday :)

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! May you spend time with family and friends, eat healthy and take lots of pictures to scrap!

Taking a Christmas Card Picture....

isn't so easy when you have a dog that doesn't want to look at the camera and gives a little growl here and there. Needless to say the girls couldn't stop laughing. After about 40+ pictures taking I got 1 - 3 decent pictures to choose from. Check out the slide below to see some of the fun they had. tfl and Happy Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving

We are heading over to my mom's apartment for the day. Mom, Dave and my Victoria have been preparing since last night. I can't wait to start the fun! I hope everyone has a happy and healthy Thanksgiving Day! No matter how you celebrate or who you are celebrating with, ENJOY!
