It doesn’t feel like autumn until our annual visit to a pumpkin patch! We usually hit up Goebbert’s Farm to take pictures and frolic through a field of pumpkins, but last year, they closed off everything and implemented an entrance fee just to walk through the grounds. hashtagLAME. So this year we went to Randy’s […]
{Wordless Wednesdays} Food + Family = Love
September 25, 2013 by 1 Comment
My uncle from Vegas was in town and the family had an impromptu get together that turned out to be a wonderful and delicious feast. The most memorable part was seeing everyone together in the kitchen, cooking together, and enjoying each other’s company. Food + Family = Love. It was all so yummy. WARNING: Do […]
Jazmine & Andrew’s Wedding
September 11, 2013 by 2 Comments
This past weekend, we celebrated Jazmine and Andrew’s wedding. The reason why I love this couple is because they started off as kids, literally, having their son Jordan when they were just teens. Then, after a few years of hard work and dedication they are now both successful, working young professionals and wonderful parents to […]
Fourth of July 2013
July 5, 2013 by 5 Comments
We had an all-American 4th of July this year: Fireworks, BBQ, and a day off of work! I’m not going to lie, that last one was my favorite part besides freedom, liberty, and all the other patriotic reasons why we celebrate the 4th of July. We caught fireworks last Saturday nearby our old townhome. It’s my […]
A Puppy Story: Coconut Part 1
July 2, 2013 by 7 Comments
Today is my sweet, sweet Coconut’s 8th Birthday – or in doggie years, 56th birthday! I can honestly say that Coconut is one of my greatest loves of my lifetime. He’s the sweetest, cutest shih-tzu ever (he’s also part elephant, part bunny but I”ll explain that later). In all his doggie years, he’s been through […]

This past weekend we took a family trip to Wisconsin Dells. We were supposed to hit up a birthday party that Sunday on our way home, but it was an additional hour out of the way. Instead, we made a spontaneous decision to make a pit stop in Madison, WI to check out the scene […]

It’s round 2 in Wisconsin Dells for us this year! We went earlier this year for A&Z’s birthday celebration. Now we’re baaaaack – but this time we went with the T-birds (Jeffrey’s side of the family). This time around is so much better because of the weather, the accommodations, and being surrounded by family – just […]

Sorry, there’s nothing bootylicious goin’ on in this post…Just some pictures from our recent trip to the Shedd Aquarium where we saw dolphins, penguins, sharks, and oh yes – jellies! This was part of Jeffrey’s birthday celebration last week where we took off work on Monday and Tuesday just to be together as a family. […]
Christmas 2012

The holidays have been crazy! One thing about being new home-owners is that we were elected to host the parties – Christmas Eve for my family and New Year’s Eve for Jeff’s family. It was so fun and I loved it, but I’m not going to lie – I’m TIRED! So I’m just catching up….Here’s […]
Pumpkin Patch 2012
October 28, 2012 by 1 Comment
Pumpkin patch here we come! Actually, we went there a few weeks ago (on my actual birthday) but I’ve been so behind on posting pics and stuff. We pass by Goebbert’s pumpkin patch at least once a week. That huge pumpkin is there all year round, so every time we pass it, Arielle squeals, “LOOK, […]
