Happy 10th Anniversary!

Sunday, May 25th (yes, I know a whole week ago), Bruce and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. If for no other reason than posterity, I want to share with you how we celebrated.

Bruce's gift to me was tickets to see a musical theatre version of Alice in Wonderland. It was written by a 16-year old and presented at the Orlando Fringe Festival. We had a great time even though it was held in an outdoor theatre. Charlotte even went with us and sat rapt with attention almost the entire time. She clapped when the audience clapped and seemed to really enjoy herself.

After dinner, my mom met us in Altamonte Springs to pick up Charlotte while Bruce 100_6057and I dined at Seasons 52. This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants and I was glad we had a chance to go back. I didn't take my camera in so there are no pictures, but their presentation is never lacking. Our meal and our mini-indulgence desert was delicious.

Since it was so late we ended up staying overnight in Sanford instead of going home. By the time we got Charlotte to bed, she was exhausted. She got a whole double bed to herself!

My gift to Bruce was a custom illustration from Rick at Organized Doodles. I am glad to report that Bruce L-O-V-E-D it and it is now hanging on our bedroom wall until we find a more permanent place for it. Rick posted the story of our illustration and here is the link. (If you ever need a custom caricature I highly recommend you contact Rick through his blog. He is a delight to work with!)

    Your Dome house is awesome. I have just checked it all out on the website have you completed it?
    If you have I would love to see the inside of it completed. I wonder if 8 of us could fit in one?
    Looks big enough lol.

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
