.Instagram it.

Here is a long awaited photo phone dump!
I am now 32 weeks, soon to be 33 weeks. I started to see the specialist and I should be having babe around 38 weeks (first week of April). So yes that means I might be laid up in the hospital during Easter *sad face* but I can't wait to not be prego anymore! I know this will be my last babe but I am bigger with this one and uncomfortable all.the.time.now.
If you don't have pinterest, GET IT! I am so addicted to that site and there are so many great idea's on there!! One idea I found is to paint with shaving cream! I tried the "bath crayons" and those things are the devil. Of coarse the boys loved them but they are harder then hell to get off the tub. I finally had to spray the whole tub with a cleaner and then use an extra strength magic eraser to get the tub clean. SO we tried the shaving cream idea. With white shaving cream you can use food coloring and make different colors. But all you need is a small dish and a paint brush and let the kids go to town. They LOVED it! And it just washed away, not to mention they smelled damn good afterwards ;)
Totally enjoying the nice weather we have been getting!!
McDonald's now has these real fruit smoothies. Try one. They are dee-lish!
Love me some Opa Greek food!! Yummm
I am not a huge reader. I have to find a book I really like to be able to finish it. This one I couldn't put down and finished it in 3 days.
That.has.never.happened.
Another Pinterest idea... I bought the letter "H" to represent our last name and to add to my home decor but the plain white letter was ugly. So I "spiced" it up with a few items I already had. It was super easy to do and cost under 5$. Love it.
Happy Friday everyone!!

.In loving memory.

Last week was rough, stressful and sad. My grandma ended up in the hospital last weekend so my sister and I went with my mom on the Sunday to visit her for the afternoon. Things were not looking good. My granny is 93 years young so life was taking its toll. We stayed for awhile and it was hard and sad but I am glad I got that time with her as she ended up passing away on Monday January 30Th 2012 at 3:00 in the afternoon. My sister and I went up to the hospital just after she passed away and that was so hard for me to see her like that. I spent the week helping my mom out, trying to be her rock and shoulder to cry on and my sister and I were lucky enough to be able to make the flower arrangement for her casket, which turned out amazing! I will miss my grandma's cheerfulness, oh so soft skin, her giggles, the way she said my name when I went for a visit and just everything about her. She was an awesome lady and an amazing grandmother and great grandmother!
Love you always Grandma J.
Here is the arrangement we made for her casket!
My grandma always wore and adored her jewellery! No matter the day or how she was feeling she always had on her rings, a broach, a necklace, her blush and her lip stick. I mean she was even wearing 3 rings when she passed! So the only thing I truly wanted as a memory was one of her broaches. But I ended up picking out a few other pieces to cherish. She didn't have many items left once she moved into her last place before she passed.

So I chose this little wooden box that she kept all her remaining jewellery in and she even signed her name on the inside. 3 broaches and a pearl necklace and a beautiful statue of an angel.
You will truly be missed! xo
RIP granny!
