From the monthly archives: January 2012
Reza and I had a short girl outing to the mall yesterday. She has been imploring for another nail polish color and I can’t say I blame her since most of my colors are dark in nature. So I took her to Sephora and let her pick out a color. Wide eyed in front of [...]
Since this edition is about travel, I thought I would include one of my favorite “travel” photos. That black speck on the bottom is me doing what I call “the coffee cake dance” at the base of Himeji Castle, Japan. 2005. 1. My favorite place i’ve ever traveled to is Japan. Never in my life [...]
It was only a matter of time, yes, I know what you’re thinking… “this broad is turning into a crazy cat lady” and to this I say, “SO?” If you had these two in your house you probably would too. The meows are doing awesome, loving all of us and have been venturing into dog [...]
I saw this photo for valentine crayons on Pinterest and decided to give them a shot for Reza’s valentine goodie bag at school. Yes, I am going to be “that mom” that doesn’t hand out candy. Crayons and bubbles it is! Since they seemed a little labor intensive I decided to work on them this [...]
The other day Josh and I were talking about this image that was making the rounds on facebook. If you are on facebook chances are, you saw it. Here, let me refresh your memory… He said to me, “did you see that photo?” and yes I had. He asked me how I felt about it, [...]
We got white stuff! We had a forecast of possible rain/snow today and well, you proud of yourself Mr. Weather Widget? You were spot on. Reza had a friend over for a sleep over last night and I was woken up around 2:30 a.m., I peek out and it had already dusted. But this morning [...]
Not sure how this happened but I looked down and most of January is gone. Time hasn’t felt so painfully long, probably cause my headspace is in a much better place. People were lamenting “blue monday” which I never really felt, so the holidays are over, big whoop… we get more ya know? That is [...]
1. The last thing I ate was some oatmeal from Starbucks. I really should eat something else by now, it’s lunch time yo! 2. The last song I listened to was “The Walk” by Mayer Hawthorne. I love the way he says “shady fuckin’ attitude”… as I was typing this though, it is now “A [...]
Yesterday Reza and I had a much needed day out of the house. With the weather being all over the place, it was acutally pretty cooperative so I decided to take her into Philly to go to the Academy Of Natural Sciences. A little on the steep side to get in but I am so [...]
It has been weeks of waiting and finally the day came that we were able to pick up the kittens and bring them home. Judas (the all black one) was the runt of the litter but I don’t mind one bit. She is little but adventurous. Josh was taking a nap in the room they [...]
My name is Ivonne and this is where I come to unload. I am am artist, wife, mother, loud mouth and Mexican jack of all trades.
Currently my family and I did the unthinkable and uprooted from the West to the East Coast. Me and NJ. You can imagine the hilarity that will ensue when the snow comes.
