Thankful

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We hosted Thanksgiving at the house and man oh man was it yummy! Hubby did all the cooking and I did the baking it was so much fun!

Now I am back at work tired and sleepy with no desire to do any black Friday shopping.. still in a food coma...but well worth it.

Here are some pictures from yesterday (Thanksgiving) of my niece Valentina and Joaquin.

Milk-Y Way the Thrifty Way

Yes I know, that title is cheesy but I couldn't help myself!! This is a collective haul of Milk Glass I've gotten throughout the year, little treasures I've found here and there. One of the many things I go to the thrift store is to find Milk Glass. Oh how my heart skips a beat every time I spot one...even better when I find one for a great price. Milk Glass has gotten more and more popular and with that the prices keep going up. Thrift stores are getting caught up on the popularity of it and jacking up the prices NO BUENO!

Below are some pictures of Milk Glass I've found. Enjoy!

Treasures at the thrift store..

Hey there! Welcome back. So you know how I am always bragging about how great the thrift store is. I usually only talk about the clothes I find for my son. Well not only do I find clothes, but I also find home décor, clothes for myself and books.

I don't know about you but I LOVE the smell of old books. Flipping through the pages just takes me back to my Elementary School Library. So YES I find books at the thrift store and I find the good ones!! OMG I can spend hours just browsing through the book section and finding hidden treasures. Let me tell you books can get expensive! And thrift store's offer prices at no more than $3.00. All the books I've found have been from $0.25 cents to $1.49. Always take the time to browse through books there are tons out there.

Here is my little man enjoying his Christmas books..

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

A couple of weeks ago my sister and I took the kids to a small pumpkin patch by our house. South Texas weather is HOT almost all year (seems like it anyways) so we had to play it up by arriving at the pumpkin patch super early and dressing the kids up in "fallish'' clothes.

I didn't want to take pictures of my son at the pumpkin patch dressed in summer clothes. Here is some of the pictures I took on my cell phone.

Third time's a charm..??

Many months later here I am. From the last time until now so many things have happened. I got a new job, my husband got a new position at work. Overall adjusting to new schedules and routines was a little hard work with a energetic 2 year old. After a couple of months our sleep schedule is where it should be, taking turns to pickup Joaquin and drop him off from daycare has been good.

So, with all that said I am going to try and give this another chance. I LOVE reading other blogs and getting ideas and recipes and all that good stuff. I am going to give it my best effort..

Here is a picture of my growing little man.

Have a great weekend!!
