Friday night was always our pizza and family TV night. We would order a pizza, place our tray tables in front of the television, and queue up our favorite kid’s shows, like Rugrats, Rocco’s Modern Life, or Doug. It was so much fun just to spend time together like that after a busy week at work and school. We still keep some of those traditions alive by using our special pizza plates when we are getting together for a casual Friday! How about you? What’s one of your favorite Friday or family rituals?
The Best Way to Spend a Holiday Weekend
There is no more perfect way to spend a holiday weekend than with family and I know many of you are missing that! I hope you get to see your family and friends soon! With both Passover and Easter coming over the weekend, how are you spending the holiday weekend? For me, it’s definitely with family, namely, my hubby, daughter, and her husband. (Still hard to think of my little baby as married, but yes, she is!) Oops, and Donald. Don’t want to forget our favorite duck.

Dreaming of the Weekend & a New Kitchen
We made it to Friday and I’m dreaming of the weekend and a new kitchen! We’re renovating what is the original kitchen in our new forever home. Say goodbye to this kitchen since demolition starts today. I will share pictures as things happen. Do you have anything fun happening this weekend?
Excited about spring! Just 1 day away!
Caridad’s Thoughts on Spring
I am so not a fan of winter! I hate the cold and miss being able to plant and eat tomatoes straight from my garden. But there’s only one more day until Spring is here and I can’t wait. I’ve already got seedlings started and have put in a few cold-hardy plants. In a little over a month, I’ll be planting flowers and vegetables and eagerly waiting for tomatoes fresh off the vine with some fresh basil from my garden.
I also can’t wait for spring because that means summer is not far behind. Summer is my absolute fav time of year. I love spending time underneath my beach umbrella, reading a good romance novel. I love taking long strolls along the boardwalk as well. I often brainstorm a new book as I stroll which is a good thing!
What about you? Do you love to garden? Do you love spring and summer? If you can’t wait until the flowers are up, check out my photo gallery with images from some past Philadelphia Flower Show photos!

#FunFriday – Choose Happiness
It’s been a tough year in so many ways, but with all that’s happened, I tell myself one thing: Choose Happiness. I’ve always tried to be a positive person and in these times more than most, it’s important to look at the good in your life, the wonderful things like family and friends, and focus on those. Have a great weekend!
