Last three weeks have been pure magic. I am running on adrenaline, sugar highs, copious amounts of coffee and rosé. Both Kiki and I celebrated our birthdays and Mother’s Day over and over, and if it was up to us, we would both continue with celebrations. I guess an apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. One of […]
“On the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true. So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of golden starlight in your eyes of blue!” – the carpenters I can’t believe it has been six years since you came into my life. Another year has come and […]
I’ve discovered a secret to a stress free week…Meatless Mondays and Meal Planning! With that, meatless Mondays are here to stay! Choosing meat-free meals on Monday is a great way to look and feel better, it kind of goes along with that new week, new beginning theory. I am definitely not a vegetarian (after all, […]
This was such a lovely weekend. I’ve been craving a slow, lazy, relaxing weekend, and I finally had one. Sure, a getaway somewhere would have been great, but it’s amazing how much better I felt after just two days of unplugging and resting at home! I intentionally planned a weekend with lots of quality sleep, mini […]
Well, hello March! February definitely flew right by, without so much as a whisper! So cheers to sending February off and welcoming March with lots of motivation and sunshine. I also wanted to say hello before my blog grows cobwebs. I have so many blog topics running through my head, albeit time, priorities… but I miss […]
I hope this week is finding you happy, healthy, nourished and caffeinated. Me? A little over caffeinated but feeling pretty good about the week I’ve had and I attribute it to last weekend full of relaxation, good sleep, yummy foods, and an extraordinary Sunday prep. I promise, a blog post of Sunday prep is coming…it’s truly crucial […]
There is a saying “little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice” and ain’t that the truth. Kiki certainly is all sugar and spice, sweeter than honey, spicier than Carolina pepper. My dear, kind, sweet, gentle, sensitive, smart, caring, loving five year old in a moment of her anger and crankiness (yup […]
Someone once told me “say yes to opportunities and adventures!” so I said YES to a weekend away. Kiki’s one Christmas wish was her very own suitcase and she’s being “dying to go on a trip” so on Friday night when I told her to pack up her suitcase, her first question was “where are […]
Congratulations, we have made it through our second week of 2017! January is usually a very long month, but somehow it’s flying by. I am trying to savor Miami Winter as much as I can and not rush through the season, as I will be doing enough rushing once humid and rainy summer is here. This weekend […]
I am constantly on the quest to put more vegetables on our plates. Kiki is a great eater, but the older she gets her palate is changing and she is less and less adventurous or shall I say less willing to try new things. As my good friend L once said – outwit, outplay and outsmart, raising […]
The first week and weekend of the year flew by, didn’t they? Getting back into the swing of things was somewhat tough, but I’m feeling high on life after a super productive weekend that included an interesting wine and cheese tasting, lots of reading – finished the first book of my 2017 reading list, dancing with […]
Goodbye 2016, hello New Year! Another year has come to an end and what a year it has been! I can say it with certainty it was a year of many highs and a few lows, a complete whirlwind. I am grateful for the lows and the highs…lessons were invaluable and I’m grateful for the people that […]
School’s officially out for the holidays, which means my kiddo is home all day, needs a lot of entertainment to keep her busy and in desperate need of something fun to do all the time. To keep her out of boredom — and provide a much-needed alternative to binge-watching YouTube Kids — I asked her to help me […]
This weekend was just all over the map…neither Kiki nor I nor the Sous-Chef felt our 100%, so Sunday was spent nursing a fever, lost voice, lots of coughing and an exhaustion. Hopefully we are all on our way to a better health with only a week away from Christmas, as our holiday to-do list […]
Getting kids to eat veggies, or to eat in general can be a struggle… luckily, I have a foodie kid!!! Kiki loves to eat, but not always most eager to try new things. Luckily I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. When getting our food ready, I always ask her if we are […]

Happy Monday! New week, fresh start – I took advantage this weekend to somewhat hybernate. It was all about R&R and gluttony. And it was wonderful. Don’t laugh now, but winter has arrived to Florida! Or at least temperatures below 70F. On Saturday morning I woke up to temperatures in the high 60s, immediately opened every single window […]
