Trader Joe's and Costco Girl

Oh hump day how I love you so! You give me hope that the weekend is in sight! : )

Today is the last day of the month...It is such a bitter sweet thing. I am excited for a new month, hopefully a less rainy month I am over June gloom, but I am so sad in just 9 days my little baby is going to be 9 months old. I can’t believe it. I just don’t understand where the time is going?

On another note I was reading A Beautiful Mess and Mommy of a Monsters Blogs yesterday and they absolutely inspired me to try my own little "Tasty Tuesday" I ended up with a variation of Mommy of a Monsters Curry Chicken! : ) I am a Trader Joe's and Costco girl so that’s where all my ingredients came from!

It was BEYOND amazing and I am looking forward to trying some new foods. Because of my Hispanic background I generally only cook Mexican Food I am ready to branch out and learn some new recipes! : ) What is your familys most cooked meal?

I hope everyone is having a beautiful blessed Hump day and I can not wait for my share my Thursday Five with you tomorrow!

Hump Day

I can hear the coffee now, like a rain drop with sizzle at the end, it sounds so intoxicating. I am more than ready for my first cup, drop drop drop sssss, Is it done yet? it’s a rare morning. Jacques is already up and gone, at work. Aries still asleep, although he has a serious case of the wiggles which I can only interpret as his indication that soon… he will be joining me awake and ready for the day. I am alone with the silence and the beautiful day outside my window, truly so rare. I love today. I think I have mentioned it before, hump day, such a great day only one more day between myself and Friday. I have to work on a new video because we are so excited and proud of Aries! Its funny how a baby can do that to you. Make you excited for something as simple as crawling. However with this new found mobility we have realized it is a good thing we are moving this weekend because we have to completely baby proof, something we definitely do not have going on for us right now. ahhh Silence…. My coffee is ready. Now my day can really begin. : ) As always Thanks for reading my random ramblings.

Love Always, Mommy of a Jamexican!

"Join the Revolution, Be Part of the Solution"

Oh Hump day How I love you so! It’s amazing how knowing Friday is only two days away can brighten your day! : ) As I sit and write this I cant help but stop and giggle every other moment, while Aries bounces away in his jumper letting out random and quite hilarious squeaks and squeals. Oh the joys of motherhood. On a highly unrelated topic I would like to roam into my newest subject of interest Plastic Pollution. I know, completely out of the blue, however after spending countless hours writing someone’s, a person who shall remain nameless : ), six page solutions English paper. I have found that I care very deeply about the devastating issue of plastic pollution. I chose this topic while writing the paper because I remember seeing a random blurb about it on the Ellen show a few years ago. As I got more and more into the paper and had to do much more research than I was anticipating It dawned on me just how serious and truly devastating this issue really is. I wrote in the paper that the idea of truly ending plastic pollution is slightly out of reach for our generation, but there is still so much we can do. Beginning with getting plastic bag pollution under control. Countries such as China and Ireland have banned the use of free plastic bags. The United States should be next, and I think we can start with Minnesota. Please Take two minutes to watch this Video>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6FcqI_ByY8 I am sure you can see why I am so Passionate about this topic now. In honor of tomorrow being earth day go out and buy a cloth reusable grocery bag! I can only hope that In the near future we can gather together to petition to ban plastic bags in Minnesota!
