Home made edible arrangment

First off happy early birthday to my beautiful & wonderful "Sither".( 30 min early . ) My sister asked me for one thing for her birthday and that was an edible arrangement. I said "why not " so  I checked out the pricing online ..I was like "OMGOSH" ..seriously? shes only going to end up eating it! plus the only one that i saw that would be a little reasonable was a 34$ fruit on a mug.. yep your read right a MUG size!. First off don't get me wrong I am not a cheap person.. I'm a smart shopper and that my dearest was not going to be smart. So I got a bright idea "YOUTUBE" you can learn anything on YouTube (no joke) I searched "Make your own edible arrangement"..  and TADA! there was tons of ways to make them. I reported back to my sister that I would be Making her one instead of purchasing it & that she will get 3 times more for the same price. She loved the idea and said it would be extra special if I made it ( awww) . so after watching different methods on how to make them I finally made one. I don't think I it came out  perfect but Idid have a great time trying it and hopefully I get better at it . My family & friends loved it so I'm sure i will have plenty more practice in the days to come. the total amount spent on everything ( about) was 34$. please take note that the fruit pricing depends on the season and grocery store. hope you all like it xoxo.

Hungry for food and want a fun view for you and your family? Well my favorite and my kids favorite "Rain Forest Cafe" the name says it all a restaurant,Bar,& store in the theme of a rain forest. Its filled with animatronics such as Gorillas,elephants, birds & trees. It is an exciting experience for children and adults. I personally love the food there is plenty to choose from. You pay for what you get the plates are large and even the kids menu is plenty for one or two children. My favorite is their rotisserie chicken and their poatao chips. Recently we bought our membership that includes some nice perks like 10% off the store & 10%of the bill or appetizer. They have a promotion going on for the membership here is the link so you can check it out on your own   http://www.rainforestcafe.com/safariclub.asp .  I like it because we can use it at any of their chain restaurants and coming this August will be going to the Rainforest Cafe in Disneyland.

MInimalism & why it works for us

Image
My family and I are almost close to our 1 year of becoming a minimalist family (family of 5). Just as we are approaching the new year in about 5 hours, I'm sitting back reflecting on how and why I decided to take the leap into this new mindset and living. I was tiered.... that's the best way to describe it. sometimes I would sit back and think, Am I lazy? am I so disorganized that these rooms cant stay clean for more than 5 days? How and why did I buy all this stuff? Where is all my money going? I guess you can say the frustration was so overwhelming that I knew there had to be a better way But to be honest I didn't take the first step. My daughter took it for me. She wanted to earn money and I told her if she can clean her shared room up we had a deal. well she did just that she cleaned up her shared space. She bagged everything!! she bagged everything that was hers  as Donation and garbage!except her brothers stuff which she put aside for him to decide. She le

For the Cars Fans

This post is specially for all the little Cars fans. We went to visit the Disney store in San Francisco because we were told that only in that Disney store & Disneyland your child can build there own car which was  inspired by the Movie Cars 2 . I have seen something similar at Disneyland but not with any of the characters in the movie. So basically you purchase the Car and any car parts that you will like, it varies from mufflers , lights, rims, wheels etc. The  price of the car ranges since they also have remote controlled ones. Once you purchase the Car and parts you can choose to either take it home to assemble it or ( My favorite) part is that your child can assemble it in the store where they provide a little mechanics section . Below are some pictures I took inside the store.                                                          Address : 39 Stockton St                                                                        San Francisco, Ca
