Week #6: In my life this week… Back to school after a nice little break to celebrate Spring! Looking at houses, found one that seems perfect for us.

Wordless Wednesday – Afternoon Tea
I have always fancied the thought of going to have tea but I have never went. Of course one of the daily deal sites recently offered Afternoon Tea at a 2 for 1 price. I bought one and thought it would be perfect to take my sister for her birthday. It was delightful! I have joined Wordless Wednesday from the Resourceful Mommy website to share my pics. We went to the House of Windsor in Lakewood, I recommend! (if you go to their site, fair warning, they have a video with audio play automatically)
Party Food!
This past weekend my mother hosted a fantastic birthday party for my sister. My cousins chipped in and made the food, and it was amazing. Really, really delicious! The Menu: Grilled Tri Tip Vegetable Salad with dressing Fresh Garden Salad Baked Potato Casserole (Kim’s version :O) Chopped, roasted green chile with garlic and salt I took pictures, of course! Thanks Mom, Kim and Keri!! Happy Birthday Sis!
Mocha Tartlets, Mmmm
I love chocolate! I always tell my kids, if they want candy, chocolate is a better choice then any of the “sugary” candies out there. I love coffee, espresso in mochas to be exact. I love cooking with Pillsbury refrigerated dough products, they are verastile and easy to use. So here we are! A concoction of 3 things I love. Enjoy! Mocha Tartlets 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 1 cup milk chocolate chips 1/4 cup butter 2 tsp Fine Ground Espresso (I used Illy) MELT (30 seconds in microwave, stir, heat 20 more seconds) Roll out Pillsbury dough of choice (I used crescent rolls) Cut out circles with…

Super Duper Sweetness
As you may have seen from an earlier post, my son and I went on a date recently. We had a really great time. I wanted to share with you, a sweet, intimate moment between the 2 of us. While at a restaurant I excused myself to use the restroom. When I came around the corner to our booth, my son was sitting in my seat, I watched for a second and realized he was taking pictures of himself with the camera. I sneaked up behind him and joined in the pictures, he never knew I was behind him. When I sat down he told me to look at the…

A Yummy, Healthy, Fruit Smoothie
Ever since I got my Ninja I have been promising the boys a fruit smoothie. The week before I had picked up some frozen strawberries and blueberries. I went to work.
