Sunday Night Dinner

After a busy week and one lazy weekend, hubs asked me to cook tonight. Since I used to cook a lot on Sundays, I thought why not. We got up early and took baby to food shop. I went to my friend's pool with baby and then laid out on our roof during nap time. After he got up I made an amazing and very easy, brown sugar and garlic chicken dish with brown rice. Here is the recipe in case you want to try it. I saw it on pinterest and added some brown rice on the side. Baby had it too but also with some corn, cucumbers, blueberries and watermelon. 


Brown Sugar and Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

    • 4 boneless & skinless chicken breasts
    • 4 tbsps brown sugar
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced

Baby's Faves

Last week my little guy was sick and it was really hard to get his appetite up. Hubs and I spent the whole week with him, struggling to get him to eat. Now thanks goodness he is back to normal having his faves of salmon, avocado, bananas, watermelon, turkey, cheese and pears! But we found some really great snacks that worked great during that time. I thought I would share. What are your little ones favorites? 


Baby Mum Mums, loves all flavors especially apple and carrot


Go Go Squeez - loves every flavor! Yum


Happy Creamies - especially loves the yogurt ones


Cheerios! And who doesn't love em :)

My Lust List

Lately I've been dreaming, of bags that is! And what momma doesn't. I have been toting around a diaper bag for almost two years. So in our house we like to make lists. So I made a lust list. If anyone ever wants to spend money on me I have plenty of things to tell them to get! Here are a few of the very expensive, gorgeous, designer handbags I have been craving lately. How about you? If you came across a small fortune, which piece would you buy?

Warehouse Sale

So my favorite spin place is having their one and only warehouse sale. 40% off all of their inventory and it begins today! My son has been sick this week and my husband thought I deserved a break so he took him for the morning and let me breathe today. So I am going to go shopping and make the most of my baby free time. But you need the right gear to be thrown into a sale like this. I am wearing a sports bra for easy access to changing, my favorite Prada cross body bag (I have this in black) and my LV card case that fits nicely inside. I am picking up some cool starbucks iced tea/lemonade for this hot day and heading out! Hope to see you at the sale - if I make it out alive!

Summer Reads

With a toddler it's hard to find time to read ANYTHING. The summer always promises me vacations which means time to read books. I like to read things that are not too serious, usually chic lit and by authors that I have read most or all of their other novels. I am also super old fashioned. I love paper or hardcover books only. No e-books for this momma. And I like to check them out of the library. Here are a few that I am excited to delve into this summer while traveling. What is on your list?

My Top Three

Summer fashion, Summer Sun = Summer Love. But for us married women we get to crush on celebrities. I have always loved Ryan Reynolds. I however do not like his wife Blake Lively, but thats another story. A few years ago I added Zac Efron and more recently after watching this, I added Joey Lawrence. Who are in your top three?

Summer Makeup


Now that I can truly say it is summer, I can start packing my summer makeup! This Prada bag has been with me for a while and is sturdy and easy to clean since it's nylon. I like to keep it simple in the summer and try to use my concealer less and less and bronzer for color. I always make sure to use sunscreen and pack lip balm for baby and use it for me. A little shine serum goes a long way and just a simple color palette for eyes in case we are heading from beach to dinner. What do you pack in your makeup case?

Day at the Zoo


Hubs and I spent yesterday at the Bronx Zoo with the baby and one of my friends and her two little boys. It was really fun. At night we went here to celebrate my father in laws birthday so it was time to get a bit more dressed up. I go from casual chic mom to trendy hot momma at night. How does your style vary depending on where you go?



On the bug carousel, his favorite!
