I know its fall and we are still in the 20's (celcius) but I am dreading the cold already.. but I must say that  I  really love the snow during christmas time but right around march I think enough is enough..sigh..

Get outta my bed!

I have been trying to figure out, for a couple of days now,  a way to get my 10 month  uhm.. two year old out of my bed and back into her own bed. She was actually sleeping in her bed  when she was a tiny baby; then I don't know what happened she slowly started  moving into my bed.. and then taking over  my room.
Now when I ask her to put one of her toys back in her room she actually goes to my room. That was the last straw.. I don't even have a room anymore, so now I need to devise a plan to get her out..

What strategies did you come up with to get little ones out of your bed?

Sasa and her bottle

I wanted to enter this picture in Parent Center's picture contest.. but then I just wanted to keep her for myself..

being Grateful..

As human beings, it takes a lot or sometimes a little for us to be grateful for what we have in our lives today. We spend so much time seeking, trying to get to the next step in whatever we are trying to achieve, that we forget about today.

The other day after dropping the little one at the daycare and the oldest one at school, I was just driving along listening to some music and I smiled.. it had been a while since I have truly been happy inside, don't get me wrong I am by no means depressed nor sad. I am just busy, busy being a mom, busy  being a business owner, busy running a household, busy being a sister, busy being a wife..that I forget to be grateful.

Grateful to have the little one here with me after surviving an earthquake.. grateful that my family is okay back home.. grateful that even though I am not rich, I get to do what I want with my life. I am happy, healthy and grateful that even if life is sticking it to me right now I am sticking it back to life..

So what are you thankful for in your life?

Start Over... with Blogging...

After much debate with myself, I have decided to start over with the blogging. I really needed this time away not only because I had a lot of stuff going on in my life but mostly because I started to feel pressure from the blogging world (or maybe this was all in my head).. pressure to come out with a piece every day (which I didn't in the first place).. pressure to write all the witty stuff that came to my head ( sometimes I am just my boring old self).. but i can't seem to stay away from my lil' old blog. I guess this little piece of the internet has become a haven for me. I have been thinking that maybe I should try it with a twist.. what do you my bloggy friends want to see on this blog?

For some reason

For some reason this song is stuck in my head..

Halloweeny pics..

I really love halloween... the candy, the horror movies that I watch with one eye open, and specially the time that I spend with the kiddies... after doing the round of the neightborhood and giving out all the candy at our door, I watched one of my favorite halloween movies with my oldest daughter : Practical Magic

Back onto the mat.

Last night I dreamed that I was blogging.. I do not remember what I wrote exactly (wouldn't that be great), it was really refreshing to know that I am ready to get back into it.
I also had let go of my yoga and meditation practice at the same time that I had stopped blogging (weird...), but now little by little I am trying to get back into it. It's funny that sometimes we let go of the things that really makes us feel better (and those things are usually good for us) just because of lack of time.. We always seem to be running and never have time to slow down and breath.. to be constantly on the go is not for me: I need my mat, I need my downtime and I definitely need some rest.

Dreaming of shoes!!

For some reason lately, I have been falling in love with all kinds of high heeled shoe: strappy ones, booties, sandals, sneakers (yes high heeled ones) you name it.. it is as if I would magically find myself in a far away place where I could actually wear some sky high booties .. but oh well I can always drool over them..
