I felt like I was being placed in a scene from Tangled with all the beautiful lanterns with sweet messages glowing in the water. Messages of hope and love. I pray everyone's dreams come true.

Ruff! Ruff! Lots of tail wagging this morning from the pupper as she devoured some homemade dog treats. Wish making human treats was this easy!

I had a dino-mite time at the Dinosafari! I am just a girl who loves dinosaurs and I was excited to see the animatronic dinosaurs. No parasaurolophus spotted, but there was a pachycephalosaurus.

Have you ever gone to the store for one thing and came out like this?

I much prefer reading a soft cover book. I love running my finger along the creased spine and folding down the pages of my favorite sections. My dream home would include a massive library with shelves up to the ceiling. That said, I've become a kindle girl.

This cute little apple rattle was made for my friend who is a teacher and recently had a baby. Plus, we all live in the Big Apple so it works all around. Sending good luck to all the kiddos heading back to school. May it be a year full of new friends and new adventures!

Virtual magic night was a smashing success! The awesome kit was filled with interactive activities to participate in during the show. We dimmed the lights in the living room for ambiance and had a little magic party.

My sister is the expert when it comes to wrapping gifts and putting baskets together. She kindly helped me wrap up this care package for our cousin who broke his foot.

Birthday season continues with a special shout-out to Jorell. My sister and I joke that Jorell is the third wheel even though he is engaged to my sister.

I’ve spent the last five weeks working on this Tea Party CAL (crochet-along). I love being a part of the crochet community where everyone is so creative and talented.

Fun night playing Barbie Bingo! I was there with all my beautiful ladies: my Mom, Genevieve (my sister), and Cynthia & Kiki (my friends). The only Ken allowed was Cynthia's 6 month old son, Mikey.

Every year we say we are only going to pack a few boxes and then every year we go overboard. My Mom, sister, and I love packing up the shoeboxes full of goodies and necessities to be sent over to children in impoverished nations.

I had such a wonderful time celebrating my Godmother's 70th Birthday! I think we are starting a new trend… parties that start at 7am.

When you skip your rebellious phase and go straight to old lady hobbies. My sister repotted all her plants and I sat with my yarn crocheting my latest creation.

What is cheese without a cracker? Crackalackin! I had such a blast learning how to make fresh mozzarella and burrata cheese with my Mom and my sister.

I will never ever tire of being serenaded by The Four Tops and The Temptations. Apologies for such poor picture quality. I was far too busy dancing!

Annual tie-dye day has finally arrived! We were jammin' to the Spice Girls as we were dying our shirts.

Wrapping up our Shark Week with some sharktacular crafts. We spent the week educating ourselves with the Discovery Channel and learning all about these fascinating creatures.

Look Out! Here come the Land Sharks!!! The doggies wanted to get in on the fun of Shark Week and loved running around the yard in their fins.

Two notes and you have a villain. Not to worry. This little cutie is nothing like Jaws. In honor of Shark Week, I decided to make this adorable Shark Baby and a mini shark companion for him.
