All Stirred Up

Currently have a count down until I hop on a place to the USA! not LAX….IND instead. Apart from my wedding in February earlier this year, my family hasn’t really had a reunion in at least 3-4 years. This will be a reunion with my sisters and their families and our parents. My baby sister is graduating and im beyond excited that I get to celebrate that with her and my family! Unfortunately my husband will not be coming. It definitely feels weird not travelling with him this time around. Last time we were on a plane we were on our way to Puerto Vallarta for our honeymoon. (best 2 weeks I’ve ever had, and YES it was all inclusive) I am all stirred up because im super excited about my future etsy shop! I have been working on a few things lately. Making some decisions on what kind of products I want to focus on. My main focus is mothers and babies. Growing up around my house, any babies that came over, came into my arms and I’ve had the “magic touch” I was the baby whisperer. I loved playing, holding, cuddling, feeding and rocking them to sleep. Ever since I can remember, I could NOT wait to have one of my own. Still to this day, newly married, every still tells me to wait. My husband and I can’t wait to have our own, but he tells me when we talk about having kids, “Babe I just got you! I don’t want to share you yet!!” lol. I love that he feels that way. BUT today I have 4 people who I am close with who are ALL PREGNANT! If thats not a sign that I should wait, I don’t know what is. Haha. My sister has a little one on the way in the beginning of February, my husbands cousin Jessica has a little boy on the way at the end of August, my good friend Brittney has a little girl on the way beginning of September, and my best friends sister has a little boy coming mid September! They are all coming around the same time its crazy! So these beautiful babies will definitely keep me occupied for a couple years. (hopefully only 2, can’t imagine waiting longer) SO, that brings me to why I’ve decided to start an etsy shop. I want to create things that make life as a mom a little bit easier, and cozier 😉 I love to hear feedback, advice, ideas, or even a simple “Hi!” on this blog. Hopefully this blog, will turn into a shop itself. Love seeing how many people are looking at my blog. Totally motivating and makes me feel like I’m not typing to anyone! 🙂 Also, Here is a preview of a product I will possibly be selling in the shop 😉

Dinner for Two

Moving from a house of  6 people [5 women and 1 man], to a house of 8, [I lived with my husbands family for a little bit and they were all boys except for 3 of us] to a house of TWO [my husband and I], has been extremely difficult. All my measurements that I had glued into my head are stuck! 5 cups of rice, for 8 people… a whole bag of pasta for 8 people… trust me the list goes on. I remember one of our first couple of meals together as husband and wife, I had left overs for 2 weeks. I literally cooked for ten people! I made a Mexican meal one night and had one of my mom’s best dishes, Spanish rice, and I cooked 5 cups of rice forgetting that rice BLOWS UP. So I brought some up to my mother in law to serve for dinner a night that she cooked Mexican food. She laughed so hard, but knew exactly what I was going through. So, tonight I had no idea what to make my husband for dinner. And I thought to myself, this calls for a blog post to help out all my other married friends and family. There’s a similar recipe for soup, but I I prefer pasta! The soup recipe is called  “Everything but the kitchen sink Soup” and mine…”Everything but the kitchen sink Pasta” Any left overs or veggies create this beautiful masterpiece of a pasta dish. Top with a little mozza, and VOILA!

So here it is: Everything but the kitchen sink Pasta

100 Days Married

---

I have to My say. My wedding day went more perfectly than I could have ever imagined. Today marks 96 days married to my best friend. Words can’t describe our marriage. Days leading up to our wedding we heard so many ups and downs of being married…”its over guys!” I do have to say they are wrong. We do have our ups and downs, but we had our ups and downs our whole relationship, in fact every couple has. Whose to say it changes when you get married? My husband and I walked into this marriage with the expectation that our first year of marriage was going to be the hardest yet. 96 days into this marriage and I’ve never loved him more! Its better than dating! It is WAY better than the “getting to know each other” part too. Giuliano, [my husband] and I, grew up pretty different. But, we had the same morals, same beliefs, and same respect for ourselves. When we met each other 5 years ago, it was insane to know that we had met someone like each other. I moved to British Columbia, 5 years ago when I was a Junior in high school. Thankfully that year I met my husband, and was baptised the year after. I grew up in a Christian home, family loved The Lord, and lived for The Lord, but I had never been fully rooted in a church and baptised. Meeting Giuliano, had opened up my eyes to why I needed to get baptised and not wait. And that was because I couldn’t live this life another day without declaring who I was living it for! Best decision I ever made, was dedicating my life to God.  I am here because of Him. We are here because of Him. After being married and finally being able to call myself a ‘wife’, it has been a desire of mine to start a blog. Not necessarily that only ‘wives’ can blog, but i feel at this point in my life its a perfect time to start. I will be talking about my wedding and sharing more pictures in the next post, looking forward to see how this blog will help me grow!
