I 'm sorry I can't talk I am painting my nails........

Well it's been a way way to long of a time since I have last posted. Life seems to get busy with 3 little ones, and my new obsession. And yes I do mean obsession. My dear friend Working Diva had a post a while back about home manicures. Well since in the dead of winter there is nothing outside to do, I thought what a great idea. Little Pixie and I love to go and get mani's and peds so why not just do them ourselves. With me being in the industry for 8 years and having a sleu of products I can do this. I use to do this for a living.

Well a great nail polish company had a deal going where they would exchange your old polish for new polish http://www.zoya.com/ for a minimal price you had to at least exchange 6 polishes up to 200, WOW! So I picked all my 18 colors and am awaiting there arrival. In the mean time I have been keeping up with my nails everyday. I have had some tragedies but it's all good. Nail glue is my friend.

I was talking to my Best Buddy yesterday and she knows all about my new little "Happy Place" and she told me " Sunrae, I think your a little OCD about this!" Well maybe that's the case, but it's something that I truly enjoy doing and have had a little extra time. Before my babies, this is what I use to do. I was in a salon everyday. Playing with Hair, Make up, Nails, all that fun girly stuff. Then I retired for a new job, being a mommy. So now that my babies are getting bigger and my Little Pixie loves all these girly things to it is a great way for us to spend time together.

BLAHS!!!

I believe it's starting to hit. That dreaded case of winter BLAHS! I am very excited to see Mr. Sunshine greet us everymorning. The tips of green leaves popping out after a long winters nap. And the sweet songs of natures friend awaking me with a serenade.
But until then I guess we have to get our shovels ready, (AGAIN!!!) are snow beats and and have are thermal mugs ready for a yummy hot drink! We will see what mother nature has in store for us this weekend!!!!

La Famiglia

This past weekend we celebrated Christmas with My Mom and My brother and his family. My mom was very fortunate to be able to travel to Italy for 2 weeks. She had gone on a tour for one week and the second week she spent the week with family. She was able to visit her Grandmothers house which had been wanting to do for a very long time. How lucky to be able to go to visit the place where her grandmother grew up as a child and the family stills owns this house. The pictures were absoulutly beautiful. What a GRAND experience.

My dear little Pixie keeps asking me when we can go to Italy. " I must go there Momma!""

I did have a few requests from my mom since she was going to be there.

1. Corna ~ Italian Horn I had one as a teenager and it had broken it. I had searched jewlery stores and was never able to find one

2. Pictures of Bistros ~ So I can hang in them in my kitchen

3. Pictures of bathrooms~ I have a wierd obsession with bathrooms, don't ask I have had that since I was very very little, I'll save that story for another day.

However, she granted my wishes and I recieved all 3 as well as some other souvenirs. My corna is absoulutely beautiful and I only take it off when I go to bed so I do not get strangled. But I wanted to share these pics with you !

How will do you know your neighbors?

So I got this email today from a dear friend of mind! We All forward emails at times. Everyone does it. Some of it is funny, some sad, some you will be guaranteed to win lots of money if you send it to 10 friends if not you will be cursed in some way! and some just get deleted after the first couple words!
Anyways, I did get a very informative one today which I did forward to everyone in my personal contact list. I think everyone should check it out. It really lets you know who your neighbors are. You type in your address and it has listed all the Bad Bad People around.
