My Quotable Kid

So I, like most parents, think my kids are the most amazing, smartest, funniest little beings on the planet earth. They say the most amazing and funniest things and I started thinking maybe, if I write everything they say down I could write a book. Of course my common sense kicked in and I thought, in reality WHO would buy this book? 

As synchronicity usually works in my favor, I came across the book 'My Quotable Kid' at Barnes and Nobles. It has been awesome being able to write in the sweetest, funniest things my boys say. I was also ecstatic to find that they have 'My Quotable Grandkid' as well! My mom is obsessed with it.

Hope you enjoy this book as much as my mom and I do!! FYI - This is a great gift for Mom's  and Grandmother's on Mother's Day!!!

100 Day of School Project

Hi All, 

So my son had a '100 Day of School' T-Shirt Project due last week. I searched the web high and low, and let me tell you, there are some of the most creative projects out there!! He came up with his own idea of putting stickers on a T-Shirt. The project entailed placing items on a shirt in increments of 2, 5, or 10; I figured 10 would be the easiest to accomplish. 

As all parent's become accustomed to, when you have more than one child, what you do for one you HAVE to do for the other. So of course I go the little one a Tee and some stickers as well. 

In case anyone is looking for a '100 Day Project ' idea, here ya go! Tell me what you think! 

Peace & love,  Kali

Dear New York

Hi Guys!! So I recently just moved down to Florida which can explain my mini hiatus from blogging. As much as I wanted to pour my heart and soul into this I was utterly consumed with moving my life across the country. As excited as I am it is also about that time, time for me to say goodbye. It seems surreal to have to say goodbye, but as all things, life moves you in different directions. For the past 34 years you've been the only home I've known. I want to say thank you. Thank you for the amazing childhood memories, the teenage memories and new traditions I was able to make with my new family.  I'll never forget the sweet smell of spring in the air, the hot an hazy summer days, rollerblading outside with the people the made the most impression on my life.. and as quickly as that came, the smell of the crisp air around the corner (which meant school was starting soon) .. walking up to the top of the statue of liberty on a school trip and vowing never to do it again.. the heartbreak of 911 and how it impacted us all..visiting the windows on 5th Ave with my mother at Christmas time.. taking my children to see the tree at Rockefeller and witnessing the excitement on their little faces.. these are just paragraphs in a book I'll never forget.  So now on to my new venture, I pray that this new place I call home will give me as many fond memories as you have! Until next time ❤

My Son My Heart

Hi All!

I took my sons to a party on Saturday and for the first time my oldest volunteered himself to participate in a magic show. I was so nervous for him, I guess in part because I'm so scared to stand up in front of crowds and partly because I thought he would get nervous and freeze up - which he didn't. Truth be told, it was a kids party so how much would that have mattered, and by the way he's 3. He was so excited and so brave to participate, I got all mushy inside and was overwhelmed with pride. When we left the party I told him how proud I was of him and how brave he was for volunteering in the magic show. As if I wasn't already vulnerable to my little man, he says "Did they like me mama?". Oh.My.Goodness! My sweet little boy. I tell him "of course they liked you! You were the star of the show!" His little eyes just lit up and said "yeah!". He makes my heart melt more and more each day. Just writing this I'm started to tear up again. To all the mama's other there, what endearing, heart melting things has your little ones told you?

Peace & Love, Kali

The Good Dinosaur

So I watched the good dinosaur with my son's the other night, and let me tell you, the waterworks were on! What a tear jerker.  I haven't cried that much since Mufasa died! It was such a cute movie, now my son and his his dad insist I call the boys Arlo and Spot! Hahaha. 

Peace & Love, Kali
