Picture of My Day – 74 – Rebounderz in Longwood
By Claudia at November 14, 2011 | 6:51 pm | 0 Comment
Going to Rebounderz will make you feel like a little kid again. Ironically it will also make you feel old though at the same time. Let me explain, you will feel young because you're having so much fun and this feeling of weightlessness certainly releases endorphines, old because it is a lot more exhausting than you would think - and most of those easy looking moves are

Don't you love today's date? 11-11-11. That also marks my little (or shall I say big?) son's 10 month anniversary! How can it be already 10 months I wonder? It seems like 1-11-11 was just

By Claudia at November 14, 2011 | 6:11 pm | 0 Comment
Cozee Cafe is probably not the first place that comes to mind when you think of gelato. I kept seeing their sign outside of their cafe so one day I decided to check out that gelato. I could already tell by the looks that I was about to fall in love. Their triple dark chocolate gelato is pure decadence - amazing! In all fairness, Cozee Cafe is not actually responsible for

Sadly, Mama Loca's, Sanford's popular ice cream place and family hang out closed its doors a couple of weeks ago. They are still in business and still in Sanford, however they are now a wholesale ice cream and catering business. So we will still get to enjoy Mama Loca's yummy ice cream, just not in the cozy environment we were used to. You can order ice cream by the pint

"Krabbelgruppe" is German and means a group of moms who meet for playdates. I am happy to have found a great little group of German girls here in Orlando. We meet every week so our kids (currently ages 10-20 months) can play together and hear their moms chat it up in German ;) If you are a German speaking mom in Orlando, feel free to join us, the more the merrier. Just

By Claudia at November 14, 2011 | 5:29 pm | 0 Comment
Today was the perfect day to stroll around the Heathrow Lake Mary Festival of the Arts (see my pictures here). Our favorite booth was without a doubt the "Hammock Art" booth. This young Colombian artist is creating amazing mixed media art, inspired by the tradition of hammocks in Latin America. I love how the hammock breaks through the canvas. And this one was our
Picture of My Day – 66 – The 80s Are Back
By Claudia at November 14, 2011 | 5:24 pm | 0 Comment
Well, the 80s have been back in style for quite a while now. In fact, when I was getting ready to my friend's big 80s birthday bash, I was surprised how much the 80s have influenced my closet in the past years: skinny jeans, leggings, jumpsuits, neon colors, you name it. No wonder my outfit didn't really feel too much like a costume to me. But then I threw in those leg

Many of you may have noticed that Lake Mary has become a FroYo and ice cream mecca: Two times Menchies, my favorite The Sweet Shoppe, Versini's, Bruster's, Cold Stone Creamery and soon to open Orange Leaf (at 4155 Lake Mary Blvd.). Of course, how could I forget, there's also High Five Frozen Yogurt. And that's where we went today :) High Five Frozen Yogurt - 7025 H E

Today I got away for a couple of hours so I could enjoy a drink and appetizers at Bon Bon Studios Calendar Party (sadly, Bon Bon Studios recently moved away from Sanford; they are now located in Winter Park). The even was a great success and the location (23 on Church) was perfect. Rushing out I only got to snap this picture - I can't believe I never took one of the

I always love walking on the Seminole Wekiva Trail right behind Panera in Lake Mary. Today I went for a walk here after enjoying a fantastic brunch at Peach Valley Cafe. And sure enough, every time I walk here I get to see horses and it makes me smile :) Ah, the little things in

Today I went for a walk at Blue Jacket Park in Winter Park with a group of friends and their little ones. I never knew about this park, and I was even more surprised to see this beautiful fountain and stairs right in the middle of it. It's gorgeous and somehow reminds me of home and how we would sit on the stairs in parks and just enjoy the day... Blue Jacket Park seems

This Halloween was special: N's first Halloween! Even though he obviously didn't get why his mom went all crazy and giggly when she put on this green full body suit (N was a little dragon, see Day 21), I still enjoyed this day so much. I will enjoy it even more in the upcoming year as N grasps the concept of Halloween and candy. Can't wait to see what his first voluntary

On this spectacular Sunday (temperatures in the mid 70s and sunny) we decided to go for a walk. Jose recently "discovered" Seminole State Forest so we decided to check it out. As you enter the premises (right off 46 in Sanford, going towards Lake County) you will see a gorgeous little lake surrounded by trees and rest area next to the parking spaces. From there you can

Today N attended his first trick-or-treat event - only that his mommy got all the candy ;) We drove down to Winter Park's Park Avenue where merchants were giving out lots of candy to all the little ones. We saw some adorable costumes and despite the rainy weather lots of little Halloween fans came out. Can't wait until N is old enough to actually enjoy

The plan was to attend the Sanford Art Walk, but N slept and slept and slept, so we decided to stay in. Playing with him I snapped some pics, here's one of my

By Claudia at October 27, 2011 | 10:39 pm | 0 Comment
Giovanni is a great Italian restaurant in Lake Mary (right by Timacuan in the Publix shopping plaza on Rinehart). When you eat here though, know that the portion sizes are humongous - and I can usually get more pasta in me than the average person! Giovanni's, 875 Rinehart Road, Lake Mary, FL 32746 -(407) 330-4350 Hours: Sun 12–10pm; Mon-Thu 11am–10pm; Fri-Sat

Wow, what a day. Besides attending a fun Halloween Party with N and preparing a dish for it, as well as exploring one of Sanford's newest businesses during an evening time Open House event, the most impacting event was still my first Sanford Chamber of Commerce breakfast this morning. Joining the Sanford Chamber of Commerce has been on my to do list for quite some time

We finally made it out to the Pumpkin Patch in Sanford (on Orange Boulevard). It's the perfect spot to take some pictures with your little ones (N's first pumpkin patch, yay!). We also purchased some baby pumpkins before we left. The money of all proceeds goes to charity. This Saturday afternoon (October 29, 2011) there will also be a Trunk or Treat, so dress up your
