When Randy and I first moved in together we found this chair.  My neighbour was moving and throwing it away so I decided to take it with grand plans of having it reupholstered. Here it is in our apartment in London. We even bought some pretty fabric in Egypt to use when we reupholstered theContinue reading “A free chair”

Adam has been obsessed with pumpkins.  Aunt Sandra sent him some pumpkin pajamas and it’s been love ever since.  He wants to wear them every night!  So we decided to try pumpkin carving with him. He loved it! He was so excited and thought the whole thing was a blast.  It’s going to be so muchContinue reading “The Great Pumpkin”

I decided to tackle a frame wall.  I think for my first time it turned out ok.  I think my main mistake was having a carpenter from the building hang them thinking he would be better at it than me….I think I would have done a better job.  But I still like the pictures andContinue reading “Pictures on the wall”

This morning Adam woke up really early.  We were laying in bed and I asked him why he woke up so early.  He looked me right in the eye and in his serious voice said ice.   I asked him to elaborate but he just repeated himself.  Maybe the boy really wanted some ice. I love thisContinue reading “Conversations with Adam”

For Randy’s birthday I got him a night at The Farm at San Benito.  We’ve been hearing about this place since we moved to Manila so we were excited to head out there.  In typical fashion a typhoon was slated to hit Manila that same weekend.  We were worried but our luck held out.  ItContinue reading “The Farm”

Randy turned 33 last weekend! We celebrated in style.  I managed to surprise him on Friday with a yummy meal at a restaurant called Masseto.  Randy had never heard of it, which is pretty impressive on my part because he knows his restaurants! It was delicious and by far the nicest restaurant we’ve been toContinue reading “Randy's 33rd birthday weekend”

I wanted to make Randy a special birthday cake since he deserves it! I found a recipe in Ottolenghi’s cookbook for a chocolate fudge tart and I knew it was perfect for Randy. It was the first time I made a meringue so I was a little nervous but it was DELICIOUS! Very, very richContinue reading “Lots of chocolate in one cake.”

To prepare for Randy’s birthday we had to make sure we had lots of yummy treats.  My sister had made s’more cookies last week and since Randy loves s’mores I decided it was the perfect thing to make for Saturday morning while we opened up presents. Adam got right to work helping me.  I love baking withContinue reading “S'more please”

We got Adam this adorable felt alphabet.  It has animals for every letter and it folds up into a little suitcase.  Adam LOVES it!  He loves talking about the animals and finding them.  He saw the ostrich and ran and got his zoo book to show me how there’s an ostrich in there too! IContinue reading “Me and my Briefcase”

Today I am already 17 weeks pregnant.  I have no idea where the past 17 weeks have gone.  In three weeks I’ll already be halfway there to getting to meet the little person that is currently growing in my belly.  I am going to try to remember to take some pictures and write down whatContinue reading “Week 17”
