Taco Family Night!

So last night dinner was a fun dinner..Taco Tuesday? Nope. "Taco Wild Wednesday" I'll get in to more depth with the title in just a moment. The girls for days wanted tacos for dinner...i couldn't say no to one of the no-hassle dinners. Easy to prepare and easier to clean up..only when using paper plates! I went food shopping the other and came across the Old El Paso Taco Dinner Kit (AMAZING!!) I added a few of my favorite toppings for the tacos in the picture below. Dinner was so much fun especially for the girls, I love cooking with my girls only if they follow direction...lol Other then that making dinners like this hands on is really fun, our kids feel more involved in the kitchen. I hope i can make more kid-friendly meals with the girls in the future cause they seem to enjoy it..

  

I warm up the taco shells in the micro-wave for about 40-45 seconds

I then cooked and seasoned the ground beef.

Our Taco Buffet

The girls got a chance to make their own tacos.

Seems like they really enjoyed it!

Taco Wild Wednesday was a huge mess!...I mean success!

Winter Break! 2014

The girls had a winter break from school, that a whole week of them being at home. I wanted to plan a week of fun but it turns out the week plan itself ( as weird as that sounds it was true!). The girls and i spend the winter break either outside or inside but it was always with family.
so heres how our winter break went:

Monday: Lazy Day!

Tuesday: Pizza Night!

(Kids pizza ingredients) 

(Mommy n Daddy ingredients)

Wednesday: I made Pancakes with heart sprinkles!

Thursday - Saturday: My little niece stay with us, they had a little sleepover :)

 Saturday: We went Ice Skating!!

 and took a selfie in the bathroom...priceless moment with them..lol

To top of our week my sister cut a cake for her daughter and close friend ( excuse the blur the camera was a little dirty..lol)

The girls were sad the winter break was over and everyone had to go home but they were excited to be back in school the next day. Hope you all enjoyed your winter break as much as we did.

Snowy Days 2014

There's no better way to survive this crazy weather in NYC with some games and crafts. Last night was winter snow storm and thank God hubby was already home. It started around 10 am and kept going all night. This storm wasn't as bad as the one we had in December 2013. However, the girls and i kept busy inside our apartment "nice and toasty" as Amelia puts it playing games. We also did arts n crafts, thank goodness these were Christmas gifts from my aunt and uncle. We discover a new game its really fun once we kept play the game over and over, Amelia loves it. There are other ways to active at home with our kids to be away form any storm not matter what it is, they can do the following:

1.  Help us clean up their room
2. Help prepare lunch or dinner
3. Play pretend
4. Make it a movie day: watch their favorite movies and ask them questions about it
5. Find new food recipes to try 

Whats your favorite thing to do with your little indoors on a stormy night / afternoon??
