Cucumbers: Did You Know...

Walk With The...

Veterans Day

A day to honor those who sacrifice for us. Happy Veteran's Day to all those who serve and served. 

Today in school my daughter was asked to make a star and they will line the hall ways with them honoring those who have fought for us. It's a great way to show respect to all those who sacrificed for our freedom.

The Best Medicine Is Love


Our Energy Heals


She saved my life. While pregnant with her I discovered I had thyroid cancer. I failed a pregnancy glucose test that lead me to see a specialist that felt lumps in my throat. I would have never known with out taking that pregnancy screening test. My margins where 5 millimeters clean before it would have spread. She's my guardian angel. 

I started feeling energy or I should say connecting with my energy after my treatment. It was if I was finding my purpose in life, that there had to be deeper meaning for me to not die. 

I started doing healings while they slept. I would feel their energy through my body. I am not a "healer". I just feel energy. I am not trained nor do I practice regularly. When I am calm and at peace I can do them. 

It's like when someone is sick in the hospital they say visit feeling positive. That our good energy can heal them. Til this day when I grab her hand I feel her energy travel through my body. I feel it a lot with people I am strongly connected too. Not always just through their hands but if I touch them I can feel it through my hands. It's like a shock of life coming through. Like when you drink a cold glass of water you feel it traveling through your veins. 

Funny thing is she's my most difficult child and I am stearn with her. But she favors me and her energy heals me. When I am sad or stressed she reacts. When I touch her my body relaxes from her energy. It's amazing what power we all have when we believe.

Feel Good Song: Alive (I'm Still Breathing) by Sia


Not Everyone Likes Chocolate Cake and That's Ok

My daughter came home from school and said her friends don't like how she draws her dogs. I asked if she liked her dog and she said yes. So I asked "do you think everyone likes chocolate cake?" No she replied. I said "so should we stop making chocolate cake because not everyone likes it?"  See this is just an example of how not everyone in life will like or agree with things you do but if you do then ignore the others. 

To add a little fun I remembered a story when I was a kid on how to draw a dog. So I found it and told my daughter. I said you don't have to change the way you're drawing but this is a fun new way if you want to try it. She seemed to enjoy it and now has a story to teach her friends.

Caterer in Connecticut: Taste By Karla Sorrentino

Looking for a Caterer in Connecticut? Taste By Karla Sorrentino is amazing. I have had the pleasure of knowing Karla for a very long time and her food is amazing! She uses fresh, organic ingredients and every bite is full of flavor. Not only is she beautiful with a great soul, her passion really shines through in her food.

A really good Caterer is hard to come by. Here's a little history and be sure to check out her site http://karlasorrentino.com/


Karla’s great love of food and travel leads her on frequent gastronomic adventures where she studies
the relationship between food and culture, feeding her mind and her soul. Although she has been awed and inspired by several countries, her special affinity for the likes of Italy, France, Spain, and Greece is perhaps most often reflected in her cooking.

Throughout her restaurant career, she has worked under some of the country's most highly recognized chefs.

What's Your Super Power?

I am not going to lie, some days are tough. My bones hurt and I am just not myself. And then other days I have this burst of energy and need little sleep to function. 

Days I forget my vitamins are tougher days. Once I take them I feel better. I wake up in the middle of the night to take my Thyroid pills so I don't forget them in the morning. 

We all have a battle in life to deal with. What's yours? 

Don't Forget the Beach In The Fall CT

Years ago my best friend moved to Colorado. I went to visit and fell in love with it. The only view missing was the ocean. We are so lucky to have so many awesome beaches near us in Connecticut.

Try not to forget the beaches in the Fall. The view and sound of the sea really is good for the mind and soul.

Skirt Steak Recipe

I love skirt steak. I have had really awesome skirt steak and really tough skirt steak. Below is a simple. easy recipe for skirt steak you can make at home.

What you need:

*Package of skirt steak
*Olive Oil
*Cilantro 
*Garlic Powder
*Salt

Coat the bottom of a pan with oil. Turn heat to high and cover it. Add salt and garlic powder to top side of steak. Once you hear oil sizzle add steak top down so seasoning side is down in the pan. Let it sit until it forms a nice crust on bottom.  Add salt and garlic and flip again. Once both sides has a nice crust remove off stove top and top with chopped cilantro. 

Trick to skirt steak is to slice it at an angle. Against the fat ridges. Serve with rice and salad.

Foliage in Connecticut

The foliage this year is amazing. I am absolutely blown away as I am driving around how beautiful it is. My best friend lives in Florida and I have been sending her pictures and it's amazing how we take little things like the beauty of Fall for granted. I know Fall leads to Winter. But there's beauty in Winter too. Below are some pictures of the amazing trees and leaves in full color bloom. Send in some of your favorite foliage images to mommyct2009@yahoo.com
