I love the Central Coast

On a whim, hubs, baby boy and I will be going for a day trip out to Santa Cruz this Saturday.  I am so excited, I can hardly stand it.  I can't wait to smell that pacific ocean air, and see the sun!  I've been stuck in an office building all week, and by the time I'm off the clock the sun has set.

Totally craving our favorite El Palomar and trying out dessert at The Crepe Place. I can't wait to see Anthony run on the boardwalk, after seagulls, and try to in the sand... can't wait to see him stop and point at every little thing he sees for the first time- which will probably be a lot of things.  Can't wait for the drive back, when Anthony will be asleep in the back, and we drive along PCH and under the Golden Gate and through Wine Country to get back home.  It'll be brilliant, so much anticipation for Saturday!

Mocha ala Gabita

I'm not too big on coffee but I've started a new job and everyone drinks coffee and the smell is always lingering in the air.  I have my morning green tea, but right after lunch I can't resist having a bit of coffee. However, the office brew is too strong for this weakling so (I usually go home for lunch, and I get to see my boys!) after lunch I brew myself a pretty weak cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee, add some Archer Farms Hot Dark Chocolate mix and I am as happy as a duck.  Sometimes, I even let a small square of Trader Joe's dark chocolate melt on the bottom of my cup, surprise!

Pet Peeve

Teenage, or adult women who use a baby voice.  It is not cute.

Christmas Story

Totally cute and amazing.



I thought a lot about baby Jesus last year, in a new and special way... because I had a newborn and I just couldn't imagine being in those circumstances.  I thank God that Mary was stronger, more courageous than I and that Jesus came into this world even though he was turned away before He even arrived.  Last year, Tony could not stand, walk, crawl, eat anything but breast-milk, talk, laugh, he didn't have hair, or eyebrows, and his eyes were blue.  This year it is all the opposite.

Merry Christmas!

The best gift was given long long ago... and it didn't cost us a thing.
