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.

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.

They say depression is from focusing on your past and Anxiety is from worrying about tomorrow. So why not let go of your past and stop worrying about tomorrow and enjoy your current life?
You can't change your past and you can't keep worrying about your future but you can focus on today.

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

Trick or Treating at Stew Leonard's in Norwalk CT
Every year I take the kids here for their Easter egg hunt. This was the first year I took them trick or treating there. My girls were a vampire, raggedy ann and superwoman. It was so much fun.
The event was 5:00-6:00 and by the time we arrived the line was wrapped around the parking lot. Next year we will have to arrive a little earlier but once it started the line moved fast and it was very organized. They had five stations set up with two different characters handing out goodies. They handed out juice boxes and gold fish and of course candy. Was a really nice experience and it was free.
