A Sweet Micro Date

Our themed date this week "How Sweet it is to be loved by you"
What a delicious time we had. How to have a "sweet" date.
1) See that funny looking black piece of paper with red stripes on it? Well that was our tic tac toe board. And we didn't play just any kind of tic tac toe. We played with chocolate truffles milk chocolate and dark. Danny was blue and I was brown-because brown is dark chocolate and that is my absolute favorite!!
2) Sip on some hot cocoa. Side note: hot cocoa is even more delectable with chocolate truffles in them.
3) Play Candyland. But make up your own cards. For example we each got eight cards- four were good things that would allow you to move forward in the game
ex: you gave your hubby a back scratch move ahead three spaces OR you washed the dishes for your wife, move ahead five spaces.
And four were bad ex:
You tracked mud in the house or you served a burnt supper. You get the idea. It was a very telling and funny game.
4) Don't let your kids crash the party. Ellyanna joined us on our date, although it was cute and she is quite adorable I do need that one on one time with the hubby! Though she was quite excited for a date was not invited too. :-)
This is the very reason I have made "family dates". Side note: we did have a "Switzerland" theme family date complete with two meals. I shall blog about it tomorrow.
PS sorry I had more pictures but do to technical difficulties all you are getting today is one pic.

My Love Story Part 1

To tell my love story, I have to start from the beginning, which involves a mini love story before the love story-a chance for you to see the real confused and pushy jerk within me. We all have doubts and confusion about what is the right thing to do, what we really truly want in life, just most of you aren't crazy ridiculous like me. No matter,I will still share the story, because it is the story of me...and how I eventually met and married the love of my forever, Danny. Enjoy! It is a little bit all over the place and yeah I don't edit-no time for that. And feel free to judge.::::: "I'm not supposed to be here!" The words rattled into my head. Here I was standing in the hallway of a church building awaiting for the young single adult festivities to officially begin. Men and women bustled about, introducing themselves, laughing, playing games, while I stood there frozen in place, my heart beating with anxiety. After all, I didn't belong here, I

Meal Time Sentences

Our lovely flash cards that we DO use!!                        I am not a very good teacher.   I should be going over letters and numbers every single day with Ellyanna, but I’m not.   I should be teaching her how to trace and write them out, but of course I’m not.   I save it all for preschool, which is only two days a week.   I’m far from perfect.   But I am taking little steps.   I do something small every day, something I like to call meal time sentences.               What are meal time sentences?   Let me back track here.   A couple of years ago we bought “Your Baby Can Read” because I just had to have it and insisted that our daughters would be becomes real life geniuses in result.   Of course being the mom that I am, I was gung ho for the first couple of weeks and then easily stopped.   “Your Baby Can Read” comes with videos, which we placed in the car DVD.   Ellyanna grew sick of it quickly.   A lot of whining sounded once the theme song to these DVD started.    But B

Pregnancy Fears

I'm scared. I'm scared because I am five weeks pregnant and I have no symptoms that I usually have. I am not sick, smells are not revolting to me and I feel normal, just fine. Which makes me wonder, am I pregnant? Is there a live baby in there...or did I lose it already?? And I want another baby so bad, that this overwhelming fear weighs on me, and makes my heart heavy. Every time I see a newborn, those precious just from heaven babies, I melt. And the thought stirs me, I'm ready, ready for another baby. And I know I'm only five weeks along, but I I recall those horrible symptoms being nearly instantaneous. As crazy as it sounds, those symptoms also brought comfort. Like I always knew I was pregnant because the harsh reality was I wouldn't be throwing up like a crazy if I wasn't. Never mind I could not manage to take care of myself let alone Elly. Oh I am just scared and I don't know what to do about it. I called the doctor the other da
