New Kitchen Towels

Went to Macy's today. And, of course, I could never get away from the Martha Stewart collection. Check out my new kitchen towels! Cute! Don't ya think?

My 5th Grade Classroom

Well, I did it! I have worked hard for 5 days straight at around 10 hours a day to get my very first classroom set up. I survived my first Open House. I am in love with my kids! And believe it or not, I am still not finished! But, it's all worth it. I took some pics of the room today. I will take some more next week. But take a peak and tell me what you think? :)

Meet the Wray Family!

This is just too much! I found this website, Make Me Babies, where you can upload pictures of yourself and your partner to see what you're future baby may look like! You can even choose celebrities, too. So, of course, I had to do it and I uploaded a picture of Ronnie and me. I think they turned out pretty darn cute! The future seems hopeful! Meet the future Matthew and Annika Wray! :o)

Lemonade=$

Nicholas: "Chachi, don't take too long to come to Miami, Ok?"

Chachi: "*sigh*....But I don't have the money for the plane."

Nicholas: "All you have to do is scream "LEMONADE!" and that's how you can get money!"

I melted! *sigh*

New Table Lamps!

I've been searching for over a year now for the perfect table lamps and shades for our living room. But I finally found them at Target! I think they were right under my nose, but I was being too picky. And they were at a great price, too! I think they are perfect and exactly what I wanted. Tell me what you think!

Heights, Heights, Heights!!!!

I got the tickets! We are officially going to watch 'In the Heights' and I am just beyond excited! yipppeeee! I even bought a special dress for this special event. It will be Ronnie's first theatre experience, too! He's making me go to a Yankee game, we then compromised on the theatre! I love being married.... compromising is grrreaaatttt!!!!! (I know he'll love it just as much as I will. Ok maybe half as much, but he'll like it...I know it!) And maybe, just maybe, I will enjoy Yankee stadium. But for the sake of my hubby's dream. This is his Disneyland. And I am proud to experience it with him. Awww! 10 more days and I am NY bound again!

Going Green

Go and buy this! I have been trying to buy non-toxic kind of cleaners. I think it's important to use earth friendly and healthy products in our home. And I am in love with the Method product brand. You can find it almost anywhere. But Target seems to have the best prices. I've been using the hand liquid soap and they smell delicious. Then I needed new wood polishing spray. And I decided to go with Method's and it's oh so yummy! For me, the smell of cleaning products is very important. And this one is a great Almond flavor. It's so gentle and sweet! So, not only is it non-toxic and made as a biodegradable formula, plus in 100% recycled plastic, it smells delicious! My wood furniture wasn't even left with streaks or any residue. It looks great! Go out and try it. You won't regret it. :o)

Go and explore their collection of cleaning products, plus kids shampoo, conditioner and body wash!

Farmer's Market

We are fortunate to have a local Farmer's Market near our house. We are always buying our vegetables and fruits for great deals and we love to just browse. During the Fall, there are pumpkins galore, honey, wreaths, crafts, just simple and pretty things. During the spring, there are amazing strawberries, daisies, and all sorts of seasonal things, fruits, and plants. We went today and I want to show some of the yummy things I saw. :o)
Peaches like I've never seen them before! Gorgeous and delicious!

Pretty Dahlias.

Pretty and delicious smelling Lavender.

Huge and scrumptious black berries.

Taste Of Summer

I marked the beginning of summer today by making freshly squeezed lemonade. It was delicious! It was an even combination of tanginess and sweetness. And it was simple to make. I always buy lemons for seasoning or just to put in our tea. So, I am glad I have found another way to use them. Here is the recipe so you could enjoy it, too!

Dissolve 1 c. of sugar in 1 c. of hot water
Add 1 c. of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Fill a pitcher with 4 c. of cold water
Pour water/sugar/lemon juice mixture into the pitcher
Add sliced lemon to the pitcher
Serve in a glass filled with ice

*Welcome Summer* Ahhhhh.....
