Mateo made his first collage!

I wondered what Mateo was up to as I got ready for work this morning. He had such focus on his face, as he created this simple collection of photos. As he places his last piece down he looks up and says, "look mom, cookies!" To him it was just a reminder of time spent with his mommy and daddy making cookies. To me it was his first independently created art piece. Am I exaggerating a little bit, maybe. Am I a proud mama, for sure.

New Years Eve in High Flying Style!

Last minute I decided to fly from Houston to San Antonio, instead of driving for two and a half hours. All is smooth sailing and the view is spectacular! Couldn't ask for a better start to New Years Eve! The day actually started out great with a bride getting ready for her wedding. She was so happy and grateful, and she totally made my day. Now I wait for my merlot, as I embark on my journey to visit with family. I am so grateful for all the people who surround me and wether they are near or far, they are always with me in my spirit. These people made me who I am today, wether purposely or involuntarily through their actions and opinions. Thank you to all who have graced my path, I am truly blessed to have such amazing people to look up to and gain inspiration from.

Dinner Time!!! Broccoli vs. Pizza

I made an awesome homemade pizza today from semi-scratch! It was really good!! I had to stop myself from eating after four squares. I bought a thin crust dough, so it was easy to scarf down. Usually Mateo is exited about pizza, but he woke up on the wrong side of the bed after his nap, so he is super cranky! Surprisingly enough, one of his favorite foods is BROCCOLI so I offered to steam some up for him and he agreed. What a strange little child that I have who prefers to have steamed broccoli over pizza any day! He just turned to me and nodded his head and said," Mmmmmm!"
