{write me a love note}

I've been a little m.i.a lately. Last week was crazy for me. I got to rest this weekend and today, with a new week ahead of me, I feel a lot more relaxed. 

 This morning when I got in the car the first thing I saw was this note my hubby had left for me (he leaves before I do). His name is Alex but I call him Osito which means "little bear" in Spanish.

 

What can I say, he made my day! 

Is there anything better than finding an unexpected love note? 

Hope your week is off to a great start! 

Mine is....

{busy bee needs a cupcake}

Ahhhh...I am having one of those weeks. I am a middle school teacher and the end is always the worse part. I told my honey that after this week my school year is going to be "over". I have so much to do the next couple of days...award ceremonies, lots of paper work, reviews, final exams and the list keeps on going. Then, when I get home life continues and I barely have energy to keep up.  So what do I do then? Well I... 

  I need a glass of wine and of course a yummy cupcake!
And if they are pink with girly decorations, well lets just say that's perfect! Not only do they satisfy my craving, but also my soul!

  Hope you are having a more relaxed week my sweet friends!

We just got our tickets!!!

I am so excited...I literally cannot wait! Today we finally got our tickets to SATC 2. We got them for Thursday, couldn't wait until Friday. It's going to be an awesome night!
First, some drinks and an early dinner with the girls. Then, off to make that insane line to get good seats! Right after the movie, more drinks to talk about the movie and what we though of it...
The hubby leaves that same day on a cruise for 4 days for a bachelor party; so this is going to help me not too miss him so much, at least the first day.

Have you gotten your tickets yet?

{cheers...with a pineapple flirtini}

 I came across this drink the other day and thought it would be a good idea to share it with all of you. I am a wine girl but it's good to spice things up, from time to time, with a good cocktail. This Pineapple Flirtini looks so yummy and refreshing!  Here in Miami summer has arrived earlier as usual so I can't wait to drink this "martini with a twist" by the pool. Also, I know what I'm ordering tonight! We are celebrating a friend's birthday at a very popular Irish Pub...and I don't like beer :-) It's Friday! Do we need a better excuse to try it?!? Enjoy it!  

Pineapple FlirtiniIngredients for 1 serving:  1/2 oz. vodka 1/2 oz. Cointreau or Triple Sec Liqueur 1 oz. pineapple juice
2 pieces of fresh pineapple 3 oz. champagne Directions:  1. Muddle the pineapple pieces and the Cointreau in the bottom of a mixing glass. 2. Add vodka and juice and stir with ice. 3. Strain into a chilled Martini glass. 4. Top with Champagne. 5. Garnish with a cherry.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend my sweet friends! Cheers!!! 

{pink and green...good in every room}

It's that time of the week again; Happy Pink and Green Thursday my wonderful friends! 
Today I'm playing, once again, with sweet Trish. Make sure you pay her a visit, you won't be disappointed. 
So, the mathematical formula of the day would have to be... 
Pink + Green = Great Decoration

{have a seat}

Z Gallery would have to be one of my favorite furniture stores. We have only one store relatively near our house. My hubby and I love going out to dinner in that area because that way we have another excuse to go in, sometimes (just sometimes), simply to walk around. We have bought quite a few pieces there. Our bedroom set is entirely from that store and it would have to be my favorite room in the house -I'll talk about it on another post, mirrored furniture deserves a post by itself-. Yesterday, I was checking out their website -something we both do on a regular basis- and found this gorgeous wingback chair. What can I say, I fell in love! Now I want it. The only problem is that the color is not the right one. My house has more of the golden, brownish tones; but this glamorous platinum, how they call it,  is to die for!  I am going to have to see it in person. We are looking for a set of white/cream chairs (something like this would be perfect) for a seating area that we have and  who knows, it might work.   

 

{mommy's day}

 Happy Mother's Day to all the great mommies out there!!!  I hope you have a lovely day filled with much love and all the appreciation you deserve. Here are a few ideas for the perfect table setting for this special day!  Have a great weekend!
