a web of love.

January 10, 2012

thank you for the birthday greetings & wishes! my day was filled with family, friends, and lots of good food!

to my surprise, i woke up* to our bedroom filled with a web of streamers! check this out:

the streamers & balloons were my daughters idea – but husband had to do the work! he worked 12:30-2:30am to get this all done! on instagram he said,

here’s some friendly advice:
1) putting tons of streamers up in pitch dark is extremely hard and probably quite amusing to someone watching! #decoratingfordummies
and 2) DON’T start by putting your lowest streamer up first #soreback

the tiara was sela’s idea!

Jerry Remy’s

January 6, 2012

we have become fans of jerry remy’s down on the harbor in the city.

and, our family loves group hugs, whenever we can squeeze them in!

who is jerry remy? in a nutshell, he was a red sox second baseman starting in the late 70s, he is currently president of the red sox nation, and a red sox commentator for NESN, so obviously we are fans of the restaurant. {go sox!}

have you been to jerry’s?

365 days…

i was raised in a religion that is goal-happy. and whether this is what influenced me or not while i was growing up, i make goals like some people breathe. really. it’s a natural behavior for me.

i make goals before i wake up of what i want to accomplish by 9am, what needs to be done later that day, what i expect to do this week, this month, this year, etc etc. i think about these goals in my head, i write them on post-it notes, i type them into my phone… i even make goals for the other members of my family. they love that. {myla, you want to make your bed,

twelve.

December 29, 2011

my myla is twelve, today. where the time has gone, i will never know. it’s still crazy to me that i have a teenager. but now that i have a teenager and a twelve year old – double the crazy.

my myla is so chill. we never have any idea what to get her for gifts because she’s totally happy with what she has… she never asks for anything. for this past christmas, the only thing she asked for – were free passes to skip school whenever she’d want to!

so, we kept her day simple but special. just to make sure she knows how loved she is!

moosey has also been fighting a cold the past few hours.
