Taking the New Decade in Stride!

Happy 29th Birthday (again) to Moi!



Delicious Dominican Cake

 So the big 3-0! have arrived, and to be honest, I welcomed them more willingly than I expected. It means a new year has began, and with it (I hope) a clean slate. The past year has not been the greatest one, and I figure that if it started around my birthday last year, it should end around it this year no?? - here is to hoping!

The Brunch Theme celebration was a true testament of who/what I like. There is always an excuse for me to get the girls together and head out to brunch. It is one of the type of restaurant get together I enjoy the most. I mean what better excuse than to drink on a Sunday at noon than heading out to brunch?! So the hubby brought brunch to me. There was an omelet, Crepes, and Waffle station, and an array of other savory deliciousness as well as his famous crab cakes. Oh let me not forget the "Sweets Table" which was every kid and adults dream which included French Macaroons, cheesecake and cake pops and many many more!




 

I have a great family, an amazing hubby and an extraordinary set of friends who have stood by me more than what was expected or asked of them - so do I consider myself to be blessed, even after everything that has happen?  Yes; I can honestly say I'm very blessed in this life.



So here is to taking this new decade in stride. Let's see what new and exciting adventures awaits me!

Until next time!



Back!

I know I know.. I have been a bit of MIA for the past few months. And trust me if was not for lack of wanting to come and chat, but more due to facts of life (later will write all about it).
So here is a bit of what I've been up to;

• Started a Pinterest.com account - can you say hooked??!! If you have not yet checked or created an account, I suggest you do; its your own pinboard without the mess as its all virtual - Oh the wonders of the Internet. So follow me at https://pinterest.com/maryelin
• A new House project which started by repainting my entire house - and I mean entire (and its tiring) to a new shade of grey (pics follow soon) which is the beginning of an living room - dining room  re-decorating project.
• Took a well deserved 10 days off to be pampered by my momma in the Dom. Republic
• And lastly discovered a new found Passion for DIY's which you will see quite of here.

Now, what have you been up to since you last visited this blog??

Remember; if you have not try it don't knock it!
