Valentine Tea and Kings Game

    My friend Domestic Fashionista(blogger check her blog) is one of the greatest hosts for holiday themed events in the home. She goes all out and her home
deco makes me feel warm, happy, comfy, and inspired! I finally got to go to this years Valentines Tea and it was so much fun. We had a full blown breakfast of pumpkin muffins, deep dish chocolate banana oatmeal, cinnamon scones and yogurt parfaits. It was delicious and amazing. She made nametags for the guest seating and had a roaring fire on. 

     I like hosting and wish for my own home one day, but honestly, if Im going to be real, it was soo refreshing to go to another home and not have to do dishes or be at top of game to host! I loved the craft she organized too. Now its a pinterest find as well. It was nail polish and hot water. Crazy! Dip any dishware prefable sturdy ones white into hot water after drizzling nail polish all in the bowl and you create little tye dyed works of art. It wasnt easy lol but if you are patient its worth the effort. The time frame was 10ish in the morning which gave people time to sleep in who arent morning birds. Not everyone is a crack of dawn enthusiast, but I am lol! 

One of my friends score tickets from her work to a Kings basketball game. I had never been to a single game live and I used to be a huge fan back in the Christie, Webber, Divac, Stoyackavic days haha when it was probably packed at those games. All the same, thrilled to have a chance to go but admit that I didnt know any of the current players and the scene although fun, was different. Still, that aside, we sat in box seats, fun experience good court view, weird strangers there near us im the suite, but felt important for a split moment!Slamson, their mascot bounced around and I tried to get a pick with him, very hard to do! Mental note: let it go, not worth the agony or stress of trying lol! Watching the game and intensity of crowd was nice to see people still thrilled for sactown team win or lose. We got lost to the suite itself. Its a huge go round arena, but we finally found the room and Im glad I got a chance to go just to see what it was like. Remember, what we may think is boring, to a five yr old, Slamson is a role model and a kings game is the best birthday present in the world. Seeing a little one with a bday crown and Slamson holding him up, made me realize so many of us experience so much through different eyes. What a treat that is!

New Zealand Untamed Landscapes: Honeymoon 2019

Image
I was debating putting this post down since we arrived home. I gave myself a week back at work and a weekend to recharge and try to wake up. I have to laugh a little because typically when I come home from a wonderful trip, I am usually a smidge depressed for awhile. I observe the life and country of another land, get immersed in their culture and then depart before I can consider losing my passport and trying to stay. Ah, the life of a world traveler. New Zealand is a land of true beauty, many parts of it, are untouched by tourists, and holds vast landscapes of sweeping trees and mountains. The Maori people who live in the Maori village there are kind, and they protect their land very well. They made us a hengi feast and cooked it in the geothermal hot spring ground. Kind of like if America had a 'nature's slow cooker.' The food cooks all day and you can simply leave it covered and in the ground, where inset boards will be lowered down to cook the food. We also went to ...

Stay at home mom, Landmark, this and that, goodbye Midtowne on the Park

 Hello! Took another a long hiatus from these posts. I have been a busy momma. I left my job at Lockheed Martin June 2nd last year. I left the comfy cushion of a good salary, 9 hr days, and daycare days to days where I am central focused on kids, rather than when I will get my nails done, or when my next day off is. I attend St. John's Baptist Mother's morning out group once a week, 2 hrs in the basement discussing a book with other moms while the kids are in nursery or toddler class, beneficial. Learning to say no to things rather than yes to everything. I said no to women's bible study, which I love, to yes to more time with the kiddos, and yes to supporting my husband and the unpredictable work schedule. I say no to rushing from here to there unless part of our normal routine, and said goodbye to friends who do not fit changes, or energy, those who do not understand or give back.       Becoming a stay at home mom has helped me get back the moments I had lost ...

Setting yourself up for disappointment

I don't know what's harder, the beginning, the middle or the end of something you thought would last. for two weeks I have been sick on and off, and my life things I like doing have been put on hold, no gym, no life group, no bible study, it's been miserable and this week I could only go to work one day because I have pink eye in both eyes, trying to get well again. When I don't get to go anywhere or do anything, I do it anyways. I worked out while sick last week and made it worse. I went to see Iron Man yesterday after work because I needed to get out. I disinfected the apartment periodically and cursed when I saw statuses of people going out and having fun when I'm stuck. during my time in my room, or in the shower, or cleaning, I began to fester about what I could have been doing, what I needed to do, or what happened while I was absent, or about all the people I cared about who maybe forgot about me. Here's the thing, everyone has a hobby, or maybe its a fla...
