Before midnight...

Hi there...

I guess I've had "blogger's block" (if you can call that a thing). : )

Today I finally uploaded my camera pictures from recent trips we took in Korea. As I was trying to upload some pictures on my FB, I remembered why I never do it. All of my pictures come straight out of Instagram, because uploading on FB is a nightmare. It takes forever and suddenly freezes and when you finally get to upload them, they come out repeated like 20 times. Ughh.. never again. I'm about to delete all the albums I have there. I should only keep the Instagram one.

Besides the FB drama (and there's been plenty) It's been a tiring week & the longest I've had in a while. S. has been out of town for a week and the kids got sick at the worst possible time. I've been trying to keep everything clean and tossing out useless stuff... (I almost have a hoarding problem)... Not really, (but a little). A crafty Mom should never toss things she could use on future projects right?... Kkk

It makes me think... how difficult must it be for single Moms out there to handle it all by themselves. Or Military families, now that I know so many and they make most of my friends, (what would I do without you my ladies ; )  I feel their pain. When I hear their stories of when the husbands go out for long periods of time (up to years) and they have to keep it all together by themselves back home... It's hard! (If you don't have kids you won't identify).

I have no right to complain, but geeeshh...  Friday who?! Actually, I can't even tell Friday from Wednesday these days. Maybe it's the fact that I've been blessed with a wonderful and very supporting husband that gives it 200%. He's hands on and we are a team. These days without him, I've been hanging in there, but kinda walking a bit slanted... It's like missing a part of you. But.. fighting
*Dear S. if you read this, I want you to know; You are loved, you are missed and you are never to be taken for granted. ♥


I will tell you though, I will know when Monday gets here for sure!


Anyways, I've been packing up... YES, packing up! We are heading West for a while! So, before I leave, I wanted to write a post. I may even try to do a couple more if I find time at nights this week.  I haaaave to share some pictures with my Korean Culture loving ladies! We went on a road trip to the North East coast side of Korea and it was gorgeous up there! (promise to post on it, this week before we leave...pinky promise ; ).  We built sand castles, climbed up mountain tops and I, Tania (If you've read some of my first posts, you know I've made it clear, I was not Andrew Zimmern and I would NOT be eating funky looking things)...  ate this.... ⬇

Ohhhh... A lot changes in 3 years my friends... A lot indeed! These days I'm a seaweed loving, "ramyeon" expert, "Galbijjim" occasional and a fan of that ⬆. It's a special type of "Sundae", particular of this region. It's basically stuffed squid, it's called "Ojingeo sundae", and it's yummy!

I'll tell you all about it, but not today....

Today this post is about Olivia! I have to finish this post before midnight or it won't be her B.day anymore!

My littlest turns 2! Crazy, before you've had kids you've heard it all... "time flies, enjoy them..."

You really can't identify with any of these remarks until you become a parent yourself.  It really seems like Yesterday when I saw her beautiful face for the first time! & now she's talking back at me... Ha!!!... She's a hand full alright!
But, Ohhhh, how I love her like crazy! She's a ball of energy and funniness who melts my heart in many ways each day....she knows it

Today... Ice cream for lunch, why not! 



We knew S. wasn't going to be able to be here on this day, so we celebrated with some friends a couple weeks ago in our casa. : )
