Family movie night

December 19, 2016 by Fotini Filed Under: Christmas, family 1 Comment

โ€œThis post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Groupยฎ and Pop Secret, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #Pop4AssassinsCreed ย http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstVโ€

One thing I look forward to the most during the Holidays, but also anytime throughout the year, is family movie night! I think it’s a necessity for families to dedicate a few hours or even a full day just for each other! It’s simple little things, just like have a family movie night that you and your children will cherish for a lifetime!

My Greatest Accomplishment

October 20, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: blessings, family, greatest accomplishment, Photography by Rose DeVore, thankful 2 Comments

There are so many things to be thankful for, I realize that a few times daily. The best mindset to have, is one of humility. Sometimes when I’m having a little quiet time, I think of all the blessings I have in my life.. Do you ever do this? At times, I feel overwhelmed with love (in a good way!). I think how quickly my kids are growing up, the people they are becoming, the family I don’t get to see as often but have fond memories with, my amazing friends, our accomplishments, our faith, but equally important, our trials. 
That’s the wonderful thing about life, you experience trials to really appreciate the blessings! I am so happy to be where I am today and look forward to continuing to grow! And I mean this in all aspects of my life, my marriage, being a Mama, being a believer, even being a blogger! No one is perfect, and I’m certainly not trying to be, but I do want to continue to work on being better. There’s always room for improvement! 
Today I have the pleasure of sharing with you my GREATEST accomplishment, my family! These three people are my biggest support system! I cherish their love more than I could ever explain. Their love is endless, pure, honest, sincere and genuine.
A HUGE thanks to our wonderful friend and photographer Rose DeVore.

{ Our Food Passport }

July 29, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: date nights, family, family fun, family night ideas, family time, food passport, Google, local restaurants, notebook, restaurants, Target 22 Comments

A few weeks ago I pinned the cutest idea of making a food passport for date nights. Well, unfortunately we don’t get many of those at our house, ever, so I decided to make one family style!

I think this is an absolutely adorable idea instead of arguing where to eat, eliminating the ” I don’t cares”, “I don’t knows” and whatever else may come along the way! Just flip to a page and head to the spot listed!

I bought an adorable little notebook at Target and headed home to Google some restaurants we’ve been wanting to try! I wrote down the restaurant name, address, phone number, hours of operation, area of town and expected price ( $-$$, etc. ). We don’t eat out often, so I also included some of our favorite restaurants that the kids would already love! I created a small pouch in the back for stickers to “mark” the restaurant once we’ve eaten there.

This is such a simple project, but such a fun concept! With the age that our little Isabella is right now (terrible two’s) eating out can be a daunting experience, but I think this will create excitement and make it more enjoyable for everyone! Not to mention, trying some new places, meeting some new faces and exploring our beautiful city!

Sneak Peeks :))

May 10, 2012 by Fotini Filed Under: family, friends, home owners, home renovation, laminate flooring, living room, sneak peeks 1 Comment

This is officially our last week as renters! We will be completely moved in by next Friday, May 18th!! I can’t believe it’s finally here, but I’m sure glad it is. It has been a very busy month renovating the house to get it move- in ready. The out pour of help from our family and friends continues to amaze us, and we couldn’t be luckier! I’ve had girlfriends and my mother- in- law helping me pack up and take as many boxes as possible to the new house! My plan is to move all boxes over this week, that way the only thing left is the large items on moving day!

Call me crazy, but I planned Isabella’s birthday party the day after we move in! What was I thinking?! Ha, I’m not quite sure.. But I know it will be so special to have our friends and family over to celebrate our little girls FIRST birthday in our new home:)

So, here are a couple of sneak peeks.. I don’t want to reveal everything yet!! I plan on doing side- by- side before and afters because the difference is huge!!

Our dark, brown stained stairs! Still have to paint the
white trim and backing, but they’re beautiful!!
Our living room floors are done!!!

What a blessing!

July 4, 2011 by Fotini Filed Under: baby, big brother, family, future, little sister, May

So, I haven’t wrote since I gave birth to Isabella… She was born on May fourth in the evening! She was born alert and interested in everything going on around her! She is the BEST baby ๐Ÿ™‚ She rarely cries, and is getting her little personality already! She is definetly going to be a daddy’s girl <3 She really responds to his voice and smiles at him constantly when he’s around her ๐Ÿ™‚ It’s hard to believe it’s already been two months.. In a sense it makes me sad because it has gone by so quickly, the next two months will fly by just as quick. They really don’t stay babies for long! We are trying to enjoy every single minute of it!!

Christian is an awesome big brother and very proud of his little sister. And, Isabella is very interested in him. She really listens to him and watches everything he does. I can’t wait for our family to make beautiful memories together ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m soooo very excited for what the future holds for our family ๐Ÿ™‚
