Picture of My Day – 14 – Gold Digger
By Claudia at September 14, 2011 | 9:53 pm | 0 Comment
Gold Parties have been fairly popular in the past couple of years (no wonder with gold prices as high as they can be...), however it wasn't until today that I attended my first gold party. I don't think I'm a good "gold digger" though, I dug through my things and could only find a few pieces of gold like jewelry and silver (of which apparently you need to have a LOT to

Meet Holga, my new cheap yet very trendy plastic camera! I'm planning on taking Holga with me while exploring Sanford so stay tuned for some (hopefully!) special pictures. Now I just have to wait for the film to arrive (can't buy it at CVS or Walgreens) so I can get started shooting. I have to say I am super excited to try the camera and for once not rely on technology!
Picture of My Day – 12 – Storytime in Lake Mary
By Claudia at September 12, 2011 | 3:23 pm | 0 Comment
Storytime at the library is a great activity for parents with their babies and toddlers. I took little N to the one in Lake Mary today. In fact, since this branch (the North West Branch of Seminole County) offers two classes back to back, we decided to stay for a second round. So what did we do at Storytime? Sing songs, march in a circle, shake rattles, play with a

Today we attended our first Food Truck Bazaar in Oviedo. There will be a post coming up soon about those wonderful little events and our experience there. Just know so much: we had a great time and will definitely go again! I love food trucks - not only because they are super trendy yet so casual, but also because you can find some excellent fresh food at each of these
Picture of My Day – 10 – Infant CPR Class
By Claudia at September 11, 2011 | 1:39 pm | 0 Comment
Today we finally got to take an infant CPR class. The class took place at Heart 2 Heart Birth Center in Sanford FL (where N was born in January of this year). We learned a lot and I feel a lot more confident about saving N's life if, God forbid, that should ever be necessary. Especially choking though is something that could happen anytime now since N will be starting
Picture of My Day – 9 – I shopped at TJ Maxx

Today I finally got to use a TJ Maxx gift card I had been carrying around with me since March. I only had 30 minutes to shop and managed to find 3 great pieces. I typically try to avoid TJ Maxx because it is just so tempting - I always find something here, even if I am not in a shopping mood. The Lake Mary store is combined with a Home Goods store, that's double the
Picture of My Day – 8 – I’m a Baby Food Cook Now
By Claudia at September 8, 2011 | 8:18 pm | 0 Comment
N is a lucky baby. Now that he is almost 8 months old and pretty much having a "real" lunch every day, I am preparing fresh food for him whenever I can. Today I tried a new recipe that I found in one of my many baby cook books: Zucchini-Banana Polenta (= corn grits). You may think, Zucchini and Banana, who in the world came up with that crazy idea? Let me tell you, I
Picture of My Day – 7 – Lady Bloggers Dinner

This evening I got to attend my first Lady Bloggers Dinner at El Bodegon in Winter Park (great little Spanish restaurant and Tapas Bar). The Central Florida Lady Bloggers meet up on a regular basis to share their experience with blogging and simply have a good time :) Can't wait for the next meet-up (most likely in October). I got to learn about a lot of new blogs and
Picture of My Day – 6 – Personal Pizza
By Claudia at September 6, 2011 | 10:52 pm | 0 Comment
The lasagna I had for lunch today was apparently not enough so I decided to throw a little "personal pizza" in the oven. My toppings: tomatoes, Ricotta cheese and Spinach. That was also always the combination I chose when eating pizza after a night downtown - you know, one of those greasy spoon type pizza places. Somehow they tasted better though ;) ...and this is what
Picture of My Day – 5 – A Car from Home
By Claudia at September 5, 2011 | 11:31 pm | 0 Comment
This looks almost like home to me... No wonder I get excited every time I see a car with a German license plate on its front. And if the car is a German make on top of that it's simply the perfect match. To top it off, this car does not only have a German license plate and was made in Germany, it has the license plate from the city it was built in: a BMW with a Munich

Seems like it already starts in young years: can you see the frustration on my son's face? I wonder what his little girlfriend was trying to tell him... Or was it because she stole his binky? The picture was taken at a friend's house where we had a fun BBQ. Hope you are all having a great Labor Day!! ...and this is what I did about 3 years
Picture of My Day – 3 – Love Culture

I have "found" a new store: Love Culture! During an impromptu visit at Prime Outlet Malls (Jose and I wanted to do some Labor Day shopping for ourselves, but wound up only buying things for Nicolas), I stumbled upon this new store that seems shockingly (?) similar to Forever21 (in fact, even at the mall it is located right by Forever21). Well, why not, there is a huge

Today I ran into Menchie! He's cute, isn't he? And oh so sweet - you gotta love that "little" guy ;) If you haven't tried Menchie's yet, it's about time! It's Labor Day weekend and summer is almost over (at least on the calendar)... Menchie's beats all Frozen Yogurt chains I have been to so far (post coming up soon) - guess I will have to revise my Top 4 Ice Cream

What a yummy paella this was! Thanks to the guys from Serve all Catering for offering this great dish in this huge pan at Taste of Sanford on September 1st, 2011! ...and this is what I did about 3 years
