Valentines Gift

On Valentines Day 21 years ago my first born son Adam came into our lives and we became a family. What a special day that was and what an amazingly joyful experience becoming a mother and parent. You were such a little man and so serious some would say but you surprised everyone with your big smiles and your zest for life. You fill our hearts with so much love and joy. An older brother to Alex, you looked out for him and were buddies (when you weren't pinching him) and have loved a good game of hockey from the very first time you put on a pair of ice skates. We've felt such great pride in watching you become a man and know that whatever you put your mind to you will succeed. May your dreams be the path to your happiness, we love you so very, very, much!

Happy Birthday

While this blog is relatively new, my "A Latte A Day" illustration blog has just passed it's two year mark and I've posted a new illustration that I would like to share with you too. A big thanks to Pam for the goodies she sent me in the mail, you've been a great inspiration, thanks Pam!

World Nutella Day

Are you a Nutella fan? Cheese-filled Tuiles with Nutella drizzles are the most heavenly creations at Cream Puffs in Venice... When I was a child my Grandmother made us homemade chocolate eclairs every time she came to visit. They are to die for, unfortunately I do not have her recipe. How sad, she does not remember it well...she will be turning 95 February 25th, 2007 and is presently very ill. May God Bless You and Keep You Grandmother.

Things

I'VE BEEN TAGGED by Sherry and I have to write 6 weird things about myself: It's taken me a couple of days to think about 6 wierd things about myself but I've only come up 6. Sorry Sherry, I am slower than mud...

1. At the age of 5 I had a police record. Old Lady Hansen (she lived behind us) called the police because I picked the flowers out of her lily pond for my Mother. The police came to our door to investigate and I was having a nap. :)

2. After I visit someone's blog for the first time and view the main page I visit the archives. I always visit JULY first. I was born in July and am compelled each and every time to visit that month first- even if I want to select a different month, it has to wait until I've seen July's entries.

3. I detest going to the mail box to pick up the mail. I can count on one hand how many times I have gone out to the mailbox in the last year. The only time I look forward to getting the mail is on my birthday and at Christmas and still, my husband or the children get the mail. Don't get me wrong, I love mail, I just don't like going to the mailbox.

4. I don't allow anyone to open the mail before dinner, I feel like it spoils dinner because most of it is generally bills, bills and more bills. Oh and the junk mail, did you ever see so much???
5. I have to have flaxseed and fresh blueberries on my cereal every morning for breakfast. If either is out I feel like I am not getting my health fix. I eat flaxseed on toast with peanut butter and honey (mix half ground with half who flaxseed), yum!

6. When I fold bath towels and wash cloths they all have to be folded evenly and in the the exact same way and stacked the exact same way, I then color code them. I also fold t-shirts in a certain way and taught my children how to fold them the same way too.Oh, who shall I tag? I think I will tag:

Kim

Holly

Michelle

Jules

Felicity

Traci

Each person who gets tagged needs to write a blog post of their own 6 weird things as well as clearly state this rule. After you state your 6 weird things, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.Don’t forget to leave a comment that says “you’re tagged” in their comments and tell them to read your blog for information as to what it means. "That means you may find a short message from me at any time soon in your comments...
