Winter break, me, darker hair and upcoming CSN Stores Review:)

Since winter break started we took a break of the morning rush! I wasn't alone on my morning walk;)

Yesterday I received an email from lovely Jocelyn and another CSN Stores review is on the way!!!

Most of you probably heard of CSN Stores where you can find almost whatever you need whether it be lights, fitness equipment, or even cute cookware!

I wish he comes to the kitchen for help sometimes instead keep telling me "aren't you still ready" when we will go outside...

Or he gotta wait until I clean the kitchen, pick up stuff and get ready! Lol!

I chose a darker tone and dyed my hair. Do you think a darker tone looks better on me? I'm not sure..

(now)

Here is a tip! You never let someone shorter than you take your picture if you don't want to look fatter..haha!

L I I T..Want some???

It has been a while since we’ve spent some time just drinking and talking. Hubby works long hours and comes home tired. Last Friday, Aria got tired wrestling with daddy around on the ground and went to bed. We were talking about last summer, cocktails and especially one made with gin, tequila, rum and vodka. Long Island Ice Tea!It’s been popular in Long Island for a long time. Hubby was trying to remember who invented this drink. And I was helping him saying any name that comes to mind:) Hehe..I really confused him ;) Then we looked it up, of course. Wikipedia says;'Long Island Iced Tea, a summer drink was first served in the late 1970s by Robert (Rosebud) Butts, a bartender at the Oak Beach Inn, in the Town of Babylon, Long Island, New York.’

I love that drink. I prepared it once with the help of a friend before. It was fun to make this drink as much as drinking it:) Here is the recipe if you'd like to give a try.

Long Island Ice Tea
1 part Gin 1 part Rum
1 part Tequila
1 part Triple Sec
1 part Vodka
1 ½ parts Sour mix A little Coca-Cola for color

Mix ingredients(except coke) with ice in a collins glass then transfer to shaker and shake then pour back into glass. Then pour soda water(Coca-Cola, Pepsi, or RC Cola) without stirring. Garnish with lemon or lime.

We didn't realize how late it was. I think we were very loud and woke Aria up:) Lol, he insisted to join   the conversation. He wondered what we were laughing about..Hubby and I looked at each other..that unexpected situation made us laugh louder!(Mom's time out was over!!!)

Iceskating and Starbucks!

I spent two full hours of fun with a dear friend last week. We went iceskating.

I always take my son there. We love this place. Sometimes my hubby joins us too. The iceskating ring is in the middle of Tanger Outlet. The Christmas tree was still standing up decorated with big red gift packages.

My son is doing well with iceskating. I had tried two times before. The first one ended with a bad fall. The second time Aria was holding my hand in the first half hour. Then, I was all alone.

Lol, I'm sure I seemed very funny while trying not to fall down. That day, it was last Saturday by the way, I was better. At least, I could iceskate while talking:) Ok, I'm kidding but I was really better than before.
Sometimes she made two turns when I was finishing the first one. Anyway, there was a young woman who was trying iceskating for the first time. I also saved her from falling :)Haha.. it's funny:) But, let me tell you, it was fun though! Really fun! After iceskating we stopped by Starbucks in the mall. That's what we do when we get there with my hubby and my son together.

My friend is not a coffee fan but we had one more hour for ourselves.:-) Sitting there, talking while having our hot drinks..

I know she would read this post. Thank you girl, it was really great to spend some time with you. Even though you didn't let me add our pic to this post:) Hehe..

I still love you!

Hubby and me!

Yesterday, I was home all day with Aria. I cleaned the house, organized his closet. I took some of his clothes out, getting them ready to pack away what does not fit him anymore... helped his homework and cooked for dinner. I kept myself busy, wasn't in a good mood all day. After dinner, Aria was watching tv in his room. I made popcorn, when I walked in his room he was already asleep!!! He usually doesn't fall asleep too early. Yep, first thing I thought of was if he had a cold. Thank god he was OK. I sat on his bed and watched him sleeping a few seconds. He was sleeping like a little angel :)

A big bowl of popcorn, hubby and me! Great time for a movie :) Nope, it wasn't a new one. We watched Fantastic Four. I don't know how many times we saw it but we do this sometimes, watching some movies over and over again. Let me tell ya, watching this movie AGAIN, wasn't boring at all! At least helped me to get things out of my mind for a while :)

How did you spend your time out?

My computer is back!

It has been three days I haven't got a computer :( I carried it to someone for fixing and had to wait until this morning. THANKS GOD, it's back! I felt exactly like naked without a computer :)

"girls love their girl time"

This is one of my favorite items in my house. Isn't it cute?

Spending time with a close friend is always fun. One of my friend came over on Tuesday. We talked for hours, we laughed a lot, till tears and jumped from subject to subject pretty fast and sometimes we forgot what we were talking about:)

She brought her puppy with her. OhMygoodness...She was sooo cute!! After my baby, Carmen died we hadn't had a dog in our house.

It was a good time-out for me. What about you? How did you spend your time out this week?

Theta Mom Thursday!!!

I have been blogging all week!

My son took this picture of me yesterday :)

I know I look tried. But I love mornings...My son wakes up like 7.30am. My hubby goes to work like 5.30 am. I was up earlier than usual this morning.

I used to go gym and used to join Pilates&Yoga classes until this year.

After my hubby left, I changed out my pajamas into work out clothes and I did Pilates! I love how in pilates or yoga you focus on breathing. This is great for abs especially the lower ones. I felt the moves in my abs and felt I got a good workout. I am ready for a new day:)
