November Highlights 2014


Welcome back Wendy where have you you been? Well I'm glad you asked. I know I have been away from my blog for some time now and a lot has happen this pass month that I have been beyond grateful for. In today's post I decided to share my most memorable moments in the month of November of 2014. I was pretty busy in my kitchen as well but I'll explain more in this blogs. I went through my phone photo gallery to look back at some pictures i took in the month of November and below are a list of moments that I want to share...some may be mommy related and others are more family related..the point is that they were special to me.

Family Taco night: 
It was a Wednesday night instead of the famous traditional "Taco Tuesday" we had tacos on Wednesday. For once it was a night where mommy wasn't hurting her self in the kitchen or in attempt to burn something.  It was a quick and easy dinner to make and prepare....plus the girls were independently making tacos like the big girls that they are. Joannelly wanted tacos a week before that night and it turn out to be a big success in the kitchen....click here --> Taco Blog


Birthday/Big Hero 6:

Last month Disney premier the movie "Big Hero 6" about a robotic health care provider was created then after a tragedy the robot was in the care of a 14 year old boy named "Hiro" It was a beautiful made family movie and it came out three days before my birthday (Nov. 10) I thought that was a perfect opportunity to take mommy out to the movies for her birthday.  The girls were more excited about the movie than mommy turning a year older. We had our family movie and dinner date by New Rochelle in NY.  click here ---> BIRTHDAY vlog








Baby Zoey/she turned 5 months:
So as you know by now I have a huge obsession with my latest niece..I adore her with all my heart. This month I have spent so much time with her and I couldn't ask for the best moments with her. Watching her grow and learn new things she just give me baby fever to the max and takes me back to memory lane of when my girls were 5 months. I have seen this baby come out from the most darkest place in a mother's body, I have seen this before with my first niece but it wasn't as much intensive as the birth of my fourth niece. I have the same love for all my nieces but I feel we shared a moment a special one at that.




Lunch with the little sister:
It was the day of my birthday and I had lunch with my sister over at Olive Gardens..it was our first time eating there (didn't know they had complementary wine taste) I wish I hadn't forgotten the name of the type of wine the waiter gave me..after we ate our lunch I was grilling at the pumpkin pie cheese cake on the menu that the minute my waiter asked "would you like anything else?" I look straight at her and she knew exactly what my heart wanted. Next thing I know I heard a bunch of waiters with my slice of pie singing "Happy Birthday" to me. I was at peace with my pretty pretty baby, slice of pie and a glass of some good wine I had.

2 Frozen party plus 2 other parties: 

First thing I want to mention was that I thought "Beaver Fever" was bad but Frozen fever is just to overwhelming.  Don't get me wrong I LOVE Frozen, the girls and I would watch the movie over and over till the point we couldn't "Let it go" but it gets tired at one point like these sisters are not the only Disney princess out there. But I don't mind giving the little princesses what they want. In the month of November the girls and I attend to two Frozen parties. We also went to another party for my little cousin who turned 3 and the girls grandfather who turned 60. Click here --> Frozen vlog









NYC Mommy Meetup:


As a YouTube mommy vlogger, I love watching other YouTube mom's and YouTube vloggers. The 411mommas had a mommy event with venders for kids and mommies. There was a performance and a panel filled with other YouTube mommy vlogger/bloogers. I was able to share this moment with my best-friend and she could have been the perfect person to go with it. She accepts the fact the I do YouTube videos, blogging and support me through it all. We really enjoyed ourselves a lot and left home with AMAZING goodie bags for mommy and for the kiddos too!

Cake cupcake cake-pops:

In a week never did i thought I would be so busy in my kitchen and my oven so over heated in three days. I had two orders in one week. I guess it was a good experience for when I launch my baking business. I was impressed with myself that I was able to complete that much work in just a week. And I was very pleased with my end results, it inspired me to see that my dreams can come true with a lot of hands on work believing that the outcome would be much more then one could imagine.



Night out with the big brothers:
After the second Frozen party,  daddy and I needed a night out away from anything kid-related environment.  We ended up going to a pub downtown where a cousin of mines works. I realized there is so much more in the night life then just a night out in a club. I wanted to experience bar hopping and an adult environment where can be enjoyable without someone looking down at you. The night out with the big brothers was a pleasant night with some beers and wings.



Thanksgiving Potluck:
This was the night I agreed to bring pies and cupcakes to the girls school Thanksgiving Potluck.  It was a nice night for the kids to have a big family Thanksgiving with their other scholars and teachers. There were so many dishes and ridiculous amount of pumpkin pies. It was a crazy night for me because it was the same week I did my two baked orders and the potluck was the night before the day of the two deliveries.  In the end it was fun, crazy getting there,  chaotic with noisy kids and the food was so delicious.


Thanksgiving week: 
This pass week the girls had the entire week off from school. To me it meant an entire week of drinking extra coffee in the morning and tons of sleep because I didn't have to wake up so early (5:45 am)  I did a few clips of the week base on what we did each day as part of a YouTube video I'm working on for my channel.. Lovelynelly23. The week went by fast and the last few days was spent with my older sister and the kids in my house for three days.

Christmas list:
As I mention before the last three days of the girls Thanksgiving vacation my older sister spent it at my house. We planned a post Thanksgiving dinner for the kids but it turned into a lighting of my Christmas tree.  I had the nieces and nephews including the girls to create a Christmas list to send to Santa, I ended up with like seven 3-page Christmas lists. That was fun, the kids got a chance to decorate the tree and I helped light up the tree.  It wasn't as exciting as the Rockefeller tree but at least they got to enjoyed each other company before going back to school.

These moments are close to my heart and I love that it happen in November. Hopefully this month (December ) we can end the year with a bang! I want precious memories before a new year starts and I hope I could share them with my readers. And don't forget to click on the links mentioned in this blog post to watch my YouTube videos I do with my girls on the weekends.

Until the next Blog..

BE THANKFUL!


Happy Thanksgiving! 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving. Its time to rethink what we are thankful so far in our life right now. I am very thankful for the life i am living with my kids and my husband....my husband and i came along time from where we are. Living in a room in his mother Manhattan apartment going through the struggles in a young relationship being 7 months pregnant at the age of 20. Yeah we did come along way and i wouldn't change it for one bit. I have been showing my girls the importance of being grateful for all the people and things in their lives cause that is what this holiday is about. I also have them understand they have to be grateful every day cause not every child has the lifestyle that they are living. I thank my mother for teaching my siblings and i about being grateful in life for the best things in life will come to you. I also thank God for the struggles in my life to understand the true meaning of being THANKFUL. The morning of thanksgiving my little family enjoy watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in the cold Manhattan Central Park. I knew they would enjoy their first experience at the parade especially after the saw their favorite Disney star Debbie Ryan.  Than later that night my little family with our extended family spent thanksgiving in my home...like they say good food with good company is always the best. It was a lovely holiday spent well with my love ones. 

So how was your thanksgiving? What are you thankful for?

September Ipsy Bag Review!

Hey Bloggers!
 
Every month on my YouTube channel (Lovelynelly23) I do an open package of the Ipsy beauty cosmetic monthly subscription. Its only $10 a month and I can say it has been worth every penny. Every month these bags comes in different designs and different theme. This month bag theme is called "Classic Beauty" The only thing I didn't like that much was the sample of the "Life Palette" from EM which is a new cosmetic line. The colors are absolutely beautiful but not that pigmented.


I did a few swatches of the products that I've gotten below...

Caiyln- Tinted Lip Balm "Apple Red"

Starlook- Obsidian  Eye Pencil
 
NYX Lanikai (ES86) 
 
 
The whole look:






The things I used for this look:




 EM "The Life Palette"- Out to Lunch

The brushes I used for this look:

BH Cosmetics and Sonia Kashuk Kabuki Brush

Early Morning Rush

Good Morning Bloggers!

As a mother of two girls my mornings are a bit crazy. My alarm goes of at the same time everyday and I get up 30 mins after it goes off, then I try to get ready before the girls wake up. As soon as the girls are ready we rush out the door to get to school on time. But when I have to do errands that day I don't get enough time to get breakfast so I grab some quick and healthy from the corner store that provides enough energy for the day. When it comes to a smoothie on-the-go I love to drink the Naked smoothie Green Machine. Its only 270 calories and has all the super green foods that our body needs to go with our day. I like to pair it with the KIND nutritional bar with almond, coconut, blended with honey and a variety of other healthy nuts. So when I need a pick me up to get me going on a busy day these two on-the-go breakfast does the job.

Until my next blog...
