Late Holidays.

Hello, hope you all had very happy holidays and hoping

your 2014 is treating you very well.

I'm late as always but it's the thought that counts right?

Maximiliano with his cousin Michael right before our Thanksgiving dinner.

Dinner was delicious and it was the first thanksgiving we didn't spend at home.

This was taken on Christmas Eve, with the first present he opened that night.

These were taken on Christmas night when we went for a walk.

These were from Maximiliano's half birthday!

He turned one and a half in December and his aunt baked him a cake that he

very much enjoyed as you can see.

Here he is after his second haircut!

P.S. We didn't take any New Years pictures because we all passed out

way before it was even 12!

with all of you.

Enjoy

What I've Been Pinning

I know everyone is tired of Halloween posts but these three pins are worth sharing I promise.

Definitely a future costume for Maximiliano, E.T. is one of my absolute favorite

childhood movies, that I'm sure he will love as well.

I don't think this even counts as a Halloween pin, or does it? Pumpkins are just a fall staple...

But then again this is like a pumpkin in a costume! Either way I love it and I plan on painting

one of these donut pumpkins later on today.

I plan on making one of these monsters to put up on our wall, I just think they are

so cute and perfect to keep on the wall year round. Mine is definitely wearing those

cool sunglasses.

Now on what I've been cooking and what I want to be cooking and baking.

I made this home-style chicken noodle soup with slight modification, I used

regular elbow pasta and dried basil instead of parsley and it did not disappoint.

Everyone loved it!

I want to be making these chicken pot pies, real soon. It's the perfect fall comfort food

other than soup and since I hate the frozen kind, these are a must.

These poached eggs in tomato sauce on toast sound amazing and warm perfect for

a chilly morning.

This pumpkin crumb cake is a MUST. It sounds so simple and yummy to pass on.

Hope you all are inspired by these pins just as much as I am.

Have a lovely Sunday!

Ours will probably be spent last minute costume shopping for me, 

pumpkin hunting, carving and listening to Misfits.

XOXO

Pumpkin Patch

Hello fellow bloggers! I'm a bit late posting these pictures from the pumpkin patch

with our friends. These are from about three weeks ago but I haven't had much time

to blog lately since I will tell you that Maximiliano has started his terrible twos already

 at 1 year 4 months, which in my opinion they should be the terrible ones because judging

on everything that I read and hear from other moms, they start being terrible before two!

Except that Maximiliano is really not terrible... He's actually a very well behaved baby but

honestly it's curiosity more than anything that drives him, curiosity to know what's inside

all the drawers in the house, curiosity to see what the water in the toilet feels like, curiosity

to climb the chairs and tables. Although there are other things that aren't curiosity anymore

like for example, spilling Vicky's (our dog) food and water, that's his favorite things to do. 

I clean up and refill at least 10 times a day, any tips are greatly appreciated.

He was truly having a blast at the pumpkin patch, especially because I won him an

Inflatable guitar. I saw some girls with them before we even entered the patch and

knew that Maximiliano would love one, being that guitars are his favorite thing in the world!

Luckily they were easy to win. Once he had it, he did not want to let go of it, as you can see.

He also loved the goats, although they were really hard to pet. The kids were chasing them and

no luck, goats just kept running away as a herd. That is unless you had food, then they all

jumped on you at once. The only thing that Maximiliano and his friend Griffith didn't enjoy

was the boat ride that the guy working it said they would be fine on, but he was wrong.

That thing was waaaay too fast, almost felt they were going to fly off, so we asked if he

could stop it. We are hoping to visit the pumpkin patch one more time before the end of this

month with dad, since he was working this time.

So far we have pumpkin patch, Halloween cookies, and The Nightmare Before Christmas

checked off our Fall to do list. We have take fall photos in leaves, pumpkin carving and

caramel apples left. Oh and let's throw in some pumpkin bread, that's a must.

What are some of your must do things for fall? 

XOXO
