Fall. Fun. Family.

I finally completed a little fall decorating. 

I kept it simple. Just to add some fall color! 

Fall is the best. And with the cooler weather we have more time indoors in the evenings. Perfect for little k to familiarize himself with the piano! 

We had a fun weekend.

Saturday we had my cousins engagment party. 

Getting the 4 of us ready that night was a little hectic ha! Especially when we are trying to leave the house clean and in one piece haha. But we did it! 

The kids had a blast playing and dancing that evening.

Little k didn't want to leave. But with fussy little brother we had to leave a bit earlier than we normally would have.

Sunday morning we were up early so we decided to go for breakfast by the Lake. 

Beautiful fall weather so we had a morning stroll by the water.

Then As per little k's request we went to the amuesment park.

And they had a little treasure hunt and gave away treats! 

Haha a little gift from little k. 

Baby M got another gift this weekend too! A highchair! Yay! This chair reclines and turns into a swing too! 

Oh! And my Mr bought me a little gift today as well! Some teavana tea with a steeper. So cool! Peach strawberry jasmine green tea. Sooo good! 

Happy Monday!!! 

Some new things.

Little K got an early birthday gift! A piano! 

Every night before bed he plays with daddy. 

This week has been a little hectic here. 

Baby M has had some fussy nights. Very Colic :( let's hope this passes soon!

He's 7 weeks this weekend! 

Our days are pretty busy with 2 little ones. Little K loves school and makes lunch requests ha! I love hearing all about his day. Next week his daily food at school gets more interesting. With 2 hot lunches a week (pasta and pizza) chocolate milk given to him daily. And every Friday a frozen yogurt treat given at lunch. How cute! 

Speaking of treats, I made a new recipe I saw on The Chew. So easy and fast! 

Cut pie crust into squares. 

Brush with butter

Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon

Cut up apples to fill them

Sprinkle a little more sugar and cinnamon on top and fold over. Bake 10min at 400.

Yummy!!!!

Fall is here and I love fall! Getting back into sweater dresses, scarves and boots! 

I'm hoping to do a little fall decor for my porch this weekend! 

So happy the weekend is here! TGIF!! 

Apple picking fun!

A new family tradition my husband and I made for ourselves in our first years of marriage was Apple picking every fall. 

We were all so excited that this year included our new little addition to our family. 

Little k was ready for some apple picking! And eating! Haha 

We picked 2 bags full! Yummy! Honeycrisp was a new one we picked this year. 

Then we headed inside the shop and bought a lot of Apple baked goods! 

This place has the best apple pies! 

I love that my husband and I made new traditions for our little family. 

After Apple picking little k got to play in the playground for a bit. 

 

Oh and eat honey sticks haha

Little K loves honey! 

Now some apple recipes to try! I saw one on The Chew last week. Can't wait to try it out. It's like little Apple pie bites! Yum! 

Just a little snow for fall

Our first snow fall! Ok it’s not even winter yet, and yesterday was a crazy evening driving home in rush hour as the snow came down. Oh and the freezing temperature making the roads icy and horrible to drive in.

 

I really shouldn’t complain, I mean, we had a great Fall and from -18 to +9 tomorrow we all can agree that mother nature is a bit confused ha!

 

I’m soo glad I bought these Sorel boots. Walking from my parking spot to and from work was a piece of cake yesterday evening and this morning.

 

Oh and my leather gloves with the iphone tips. Perfect.

 

 

Yesterday I left work just as the snow began.  I spent 3 hours in the car. Picking up little K from daycare and heading home. We stopped along the way to pick up hot chocolate for me and a grilled cheese for little K. That made sitting in traffic on the hwy a bit better. Little K was asking to go to the bathroom while we were in traffic eek. I told him to hold it. and he did! haha. He was in his pull ups and I was surprised that he held it till we got home! We are in the car a lot! So potty training and car rides… this will be a new challenge for us. If you have any suggestions please leave a comment below!

 

Yesterday was just the first snow fall and it wasn’t THAT bad. We have worse to come. I’m also sending my prayers to all those in Buffalo that got hit really bad. Stay safe and warm. Lets pray our winter takes it easy this year.  

 

I’m trying to be as ready for winter as we can be.

 

Are you winter ready?

***house update. Stucco is done! 

Happy Thursday! Weekend is around the corner! 

Weekend with Friends and Family over Eggs, Steaks and Baleadas

We had a great weekend with family and friends.

 

Saturday morning I went out for breakfast with a friend and brought little K along. We went to Milestones in the mall. I’ve never been there for breakfast. It was really nice and  the portions were HUGE . Little K’s kids menu of Bacon and Eggs was really the size for adults.

 

Breakfast with the ladies. 

I spent the rest of the day with my little man, shopping and gathering last minute things for our trip.

 

New sun hats!

 

 

Saturday night we went out for dinner with some friends. Steak and Wine!

I guess you can say I’m beginning to be picky with my steak. We go out for steak dinners often, and I like to try different types. Saturday I had the New York Steak (for the first time) The others got Rib eye steak and bone in Rib eye. I think the Bone in rib eye was the best one I tasted.

 

The appetizers were delicious too. Calamari, Fries, Sautéed mushrooms, Sugar snap peas. Yum!

 

A great evening with friends! 

Sunday morning I had to go into work for  couple hours.

zzzz I left the Mr and little K sleeping all snuggled in, while I left the house on a cold dark Sunday morning ha!

 

They woke up when I got home haha, they didn’t miss me at all.

 

I got home, got everyone ready, and we headed out to have Brunch at my inlaws.  

 

Honduran Breakfast, Baleadas!

 

Soooo good!

 

Flour Tortillas, Refried beans, Eggs, Avocado, Cheese, YUM!

 

I can’t wait for my new kitchen! I have a list of Italian and Honduran recipes that I want to perfect.

 

Growing up we always had Big family lunches on Sunday’s. My mom would make lasagna.

 

The Mr grew up with Baleadas for weekend breakfasts. These are 2 recipes that have priority, but we have a list of Italian and Honduran recipes we want to pass on to our children. :)

 

 

Although I must say, life is VERY different now than it was when I grew up. We are always on the go and out and about, I rarely have weekends home where I can spend hours making a delicious meal. I can tell you that I am NOT one to spend hours in the kitchen cooking (I enjoy cooking, just not for hours ha) . So that’s why we came up with a menu of dishes we love from growing up and those are the dishes we will focus on to pass on to our kids. Only a few of them are ones that take a lot of time.  That I can do! I can’t wait to get our new home and set new traditions for our kid(s)! 

Hope you all have a great Monday! 

We have snow!!! 

Remembrance Day Canada

Today was Remembrance Day. The husband and I had the day off.

So we decided to make it a day in the city...

It started with dropping little k off at daycare. 

Then we went to a restaurant for breakfast. Right by the lake. 

Sooo good! 

After that big breakfast we sat by the lake and enjoyed the view. 

Ahh and it was a beautiful fall day!!

Next stop Indigo book store for a latte and some books the Mr needed to get. 

We then headed to Queens park where thousands of people gathered for a ceremony to honour our veterans. 

Lest We Forget. 

After a beautiful ceremony we stayed downtown and went to the mall... Then a late lunch. 

Eeee lots of food. 

A good day in the city.
