Imagine that we’re having a party and you could bring as your date a fav author, and also your fav drink, and snack! Who and what would you bring? I think I’d bring William Shakespeare, some champagne, and Cheetos. Yes, Cheetos those telltale snacks that I can’t eat while writing!
To paint or not to paint?
I showed you a picture a couple of weeks ago of one of the handmade shell and bead decorations that I do. Many of you said that you would like to get one of these handmade items as part of a giveaway. So I’ve started working on one but have a big question for you?
To paint or not to paint? I normally make these memory boxes using cigar boxes because I like recycling them to help the environment. Sometimes I paint the exteriors, but I think that I’d like to keep their history for this memory box. What do you think? Paint the cigar box or not?
It’s Friday! Let’s Play a Game!
It’s Friday so let’s play a game. We’re all meeting for dinner and maybe drinks. What will you order? I’ll have some guac and chips while I wait for you!
Caridad’s Favorite Pizza and TV Night!
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!
