Date Night/Friends Night Out Idea #2

Cooking CLASSES!!!!

Who knew cooking with your loved one(s) could be something like magic. I love cooking with Scott. We have such a great time together in the kitchen, although sometimes he is known to take over completely, that's ok because I just sit back and enjoy the view....

Everyday I receive e-mails from Whole Foods, Sur La Table, and William Sonoma about their inexpensive, often free cooking/technique classes. Although, because of our very busy schedules, I have yet to sign up for a class, it is something I plan on doing very soon, especially with the holidays coming up!! There something very soothing and sensual about preparing a meal that makes things so romantic. It kind of reminds me of my favorite Food Network show!!!


Check out your local store listings for awesome cooking classes/schedules...

Bon Appetit!

Happy Birthday Prince #1

November 4, 2005. I woke up to what I thought were really bad cramps due to the baby not having much room to move. I couldn’t go back to sleep because I was so uncomfortable so I called my BFF, sister, and confidant (Connie) to wish her a happy birthday. As I explained to her what I was feeling, she was telling me that I was just being a hypochondriac, as usual. As our conversation progressed my cramps became more and more intense. Little did I know this day would change my life…forever…

I had been on bed rest since September 26th (my birthday) and had gone through all the CSI-Vegas seasons, baby magazines, books I could get my hands on from the library. I knew every morning’s show rundown…the news, then Martha Stewart (she had just wrapped up all her Halloween shows) at 10am followed by The Price Is Right at 11am…

Well…I missed all my shows and by 3:57pm I had delivered a beautiful healthy baby boy…









November 4, 2009. This morning we woke him up and sang him HAPPY BIRTHDAY…and my heart was on fire as he blew out his candle and said… “where are my presents?”… That's all we got... (we both laughed so hard)







HAPPY BIRTHDAY my PRINCE I pray we have many more to celebrate with YOU!!!
