for reza

Dear Nugget, I am not sure how this happens but time flies by so much faster when I am watching someone grow up. Better yet, watching you grow up. It’s an interesting state I find myself in cause as proud I am of your newfound independence, there is also that moment where I catch myself [...]

things I love

by Ivonne on February 14, 2012 · 4 Comments · in photos, product whore, stuff I love

Every Valentines Day I have notoriously written sappy ass posts about my husband to which many people either gushed or threw up a little in their mouths. Sorry yo! I can’t help it. So instead of making y’all sick with my wussery, I will instead tell you about things I have been loving on… Shopping [...]

the bucket list

by Ivonne on February 11, 2012 · 0 Comments · in lists

I finally got around to putting my list in writing. I am sure there are things that are missing or will come up over the course of time. I put the list as a separate page on my blog so I can always come back to that tab instead of having to backtrack. If you [...]

(the collage from my livejournal page that has been my first blog since 2001, posts from here still go there) 1. I started my blog because I have always been an opinionated person. I needed an outlet to put things out there and I happened to stumble on livejournal and the rest is history. To [...]

corndog muffins

As with many things I see on Pinterest, I finally got around to making another pin I saved for corndog muffins. Reza loves her cornbread and since this was simple to make, we got in the kitchen and hooked it up. Mix your bread whatnot as usual and put in the muffin tin. We cut [...]

jumbalaya

I found myself in Philly exchanging some boots and I stopped to get me a latte. Now, I know people love to poo poo on Starbucks and their burnt coffee. I never go there for drip. But this? I have to say, this is a whole lot of awesome. Starbucks, this cup is so well [...]

I can smell you

Yesterday was the Sheriff’s birthday. As you know she is one of my bestest friends in the whole wide world. Last year I gave her illustrated portrait of her and her Man Candy, Andrew. I get anxiety over gift giving sometimes, especially when I thought the one the year before was a good one. This [...]

fill in the blank friday / introspection

by Ivonne on February 3, 2012 · 6 Comments · in fill in the blank friday, life

1. If money wasn’t an issue, the first thing I’d cross of my life list is spending a year traveling all over the world. Considering all responsibilities aside of course. 2. Ketchup on eggs, floppy undercooked bacon and pancakes, beef tongue and 80′s hair metal are things I like that other people think are weird. [...]

rainbow in the dark

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 [...]

fill in the blank friday

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 [...]
