The Birthday Girl....

As promised.... the pictures from my LOVELY 31st Birthday Celebration (25-26 Oct) are below!

My Handsome Hubby and my Beautiful Princess Amaya (my daughter) surprised me with a decked out cube;) I took this pic the day after so some of the balloons are flat (can't really see them in this pic)... but I still felt it was worth sharing.... I love my man!

The Small Things Matter...

Since my B-day fell on a Thursday this year, we saved the major  partying for Friday. I did the thing I love most, I got to hang-out with hubs... Nothing tops a  lunch date with the man of my dreams.....

Me and my MR. RIGHT.... I can't say it enough.... He is my All-In-One!!!! After having lunch, we went to Regal Cinemas in Waterford to see Taken 2... We had a great time!

My girlfriend Tiffany and I went to Florida Mall (MAC) and got our face beat (Make-up done), I absolutely LOVED the outcome... ALySsA did a FANTABULOUS JoB! Now I'm already for my dinner party!

Hey, hey, hey!

I missed you all like crazy! I couldn't let the month of October pass without saying hello to my lovely Bloggy Buddies.  I have so much to catch up on (em, em, my daily doses of Illegally Blonde, which has rapidly become one of  my most fav blogs), and share. I'm not sure if I mentioned this in one of my earlier posts, but I started taking courses again, so my days have been really crazy lately. Between working full-time, doing my mommy/wifely duties, and taking classes, I've been pretty busy; I'm definitely surviving off my grandmothers prayers and coffee! Somedays me and  Rell (hubs) are so tired, that we don't know whether we're coming or going! I thank God for blessing me with such a supportive husband, if it weren't for him picking up my slack, and preparing those wonderful home-cooked meals daily (with the exception of Friday, which is officially Pizza Night in our home) , the kids and I would probably have fast-food every night. Anway, I just wanted to touch base with you all and fill in the gaps on why I've been MIA for so long. However, stay tuned, I have some wonderful pictures from my 31st BDAY CELEBRATION!!! Unfortunately, the pics were taken on my iPhone, so they aren't the best quality, but I will share them anyway, I mean, I wouldn't dare deprive you all of pictures :)

Color Play

It's Friday *Fist Pump*, and I'm feeling pretty good, and colorful this morning! 
Thus, I figured I would build an outfit that corresponds with my mood.
 I decided to call this playful beauty, "Color Play"...

Hope you all can appreciate my creativity; sometimes I just NEED a PoP of CoLoR

WHY THIS COLOR COMBO, YOU ASK- Well...

1)  It's October (orange)

          2) I'm feeling fresh (mint green)

 3) I'm  such a classy lady (black&white) POW, POW!!!

 Enjoy,  & Have a Wonderful, Fun Filled Friday…

A Time To Celebrate...

“Did ya Miss Me!?!” in my Martin Lawrence voice- Do you all remember the Martin Lawrence Show? Good times, good times! Anyway, LIFE happened and I fell off track with updating this lovely blog of mine. So much has occurred since our last chat. I’d like to send a huge shout-out to my wonderful husband Reuel and my big sister Shamika, they celebrated their 30’s AGAIN (wink, wink).  I really enjoyed taking care of my man on his special day.  I can’t think of anyone worthier of a celebration. He is the most selfless person one could meet. This man is my everything; I’m talking:  BFF, Counselor, Prayer Partner, Protector and Provider, he’s my strength. He’s my all-in-one. I thank GOD for placing him in my life.

Our  typical birthday celebration  consists of us going out somewhere (restaurant, nightlife etc. )This time he encouraged me to take a different approach, as the perfect day for him involves sitting in the house with the family, he’s not one for traveling up and down the street and socializing with every Tom, Dick, and Harry he knows- he prefers quiet evenings at home. So, that’s exactly what he got.  His birthday fell on a Monday this year, so to kick things off, I surprised him with a decked-out cubicle; you know, balloons, happy b-day banner, cupcakes, confetti, several bday cards- the works! When he got home from work, he was greeted by  the aroma of scented candles, soft jazz, and finger foods (fresh fruit and veggies), when he entered the bathroom I had a bottle of chilled Moscato, candles, and a warm eucalyptus bath awaiting him.  It’s safe to say that his favorite pass-time is watching Netflix, so we set his iPad up so he could watch his favorite program while soaking.   After his bath, we served him  a dinner that knocked his socks off. He normally does all of the cooking, so this was definitely outside the box.  He indulged in Salad (baby spinach, sliced almonds, strawberries, and freshly grated parmesan cheese, topped with Greek Italian Dressing) Grilled Shrimp, (marinated in fresh ginger & pineapples) Pan Seared Salmon, Asparagus (cooked to perfection with butter & sea salt) and Mashed Potatoes.  For dessert we closed out with a Happy Birthday song and Strawberry shortcake w/a side of vanilla bean ice cream.  YUM-O.

Here's a snap shot of Reuel enjoying his special day

So, how did you and your hubby celebrate this year?
