Taking More Pictures! DITL 4/365

As I stated yesterday one of my goals in 2014 is to take more pictures.  So, to start the year off right we did just that! 

I love my little family!  

Graham started sprouting a tooth (It became visible on December 29, 2013).  It's on his bottom left side. I have been trying to get a good picture of it, but it's very difficult.  This also means "gummy smiles" are nearing the end. 

We attempted to get a good family picture at the beach.  They didn't turn out that great, but I am still happy that we did it! No regrets taking advantage of the photo opportunity! 

Oh!! The love I have for this child! 

He is my greatest achievement. 

P.S. You can watch peek into my life.   Day 4 of 365.  I will be uploading a new day in the life video every morning around 9AM EST!

Songs I LOVE to Walk to (July 20, 2012)

If you watch my daily videos you would know that my exercise routine consists of long walks outdoors.  I like to take in my surroundings.  

So, I thought I would post a couple songs that make me happy while I walk.  They are nice, but have upbeat parts that keep me going.  

Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men 



Cough Syrup by Young the Giant



Tongue Tied by Grouplove

What are some songs you have been enjoying?

And do you enjoy these types of posts?

Thanks,

DITL : Dolphins, Beach, Tacos & Sopapilla Cheesecake Recipe

I know Cinco de Mayo is really just another reason to get drunk in the US.  It's basically like St. Patrick's Day.  No one really knows what were celebrating, but major alcohol is called into play.  

My husband and I didn't drink anything.  However, we did create a Mojito Video for the holiday.  

We did have Tacos though!  How very festive of us!

And I made Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars.  (I googled Mexican Desserts and this one sounded great)

It was really easy too!  

You can see the Sopapilla Cheesecake being made at 7:24 in the video below.

The Husband & I went to party this weekend in the neighboring city of Casey Key.  We had a little time to spare before the party, so, we took a little drive over to The Jetties.  

The water and weather were absolutely gorgeous this weekend.  

Altogether, I would say my husband and I had a great weekend.  How was yours spent?!
