-Time-
For me saving time is super important! We have a pretty busy life in our home and one of duties I like the least is grocery shopping. I am not a fan of going into a supermarket...the people, the lines,and I buy so much stuff I don't actually need just because it is on sale! So my solution has been Peapod. An online grocery store! I sit down on a Thursday morning with a cup of coffee, coupons and a cookbook or Real Simple magazine and do my grocery shopping. It not only saves me time but makes the whole grocery shopping experience less stressful.
 So if you are interested click here and we both will get $10 off our orders:)

*Areas of delivery: Chicagoland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia

There has been an going rivalry in our house about the IPhone vs. the Blackberry. The iPhone won a few months ago but the Blackberry is never far behind.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I think Valentine's day has readily become my favorite holiday. It has a bit  to do with the romance aspect, but if I am honest, most of it is because I get to embrace my girlishness and have an excuse to take photos of hearts, write sappy cards, buy flowers for the Peddlers daughter and eat lots of candy, all for the sake of love.

 Even in my single days, I secretly loved it, I was not one of those girls who was annoyed when the day came around (I just acted indifferent) but deep inside I would get excited for this day. I love all the colors-red, pink, purple, seeing all the people bustle about to buy flowers, watching my friend's kids come home from school with a homemade container full of Valentine's. To me it doesn't matter if you are single or in a relationship this day should be celebrated by everyone, a day to tell your parents they mean the world to you or take a friend coffee.

 I am also fond of this day because the Peddler and I had our first date in Las Vegas on this day of love...(yeah talk about an awkward first date) Have you ever been to Vegas on Valentine's day? It is a lot of pressure for 2 people who are in the new born stages of their relationship. But even as cheesy as it is I love that we can look at this day and smile knowing that it marks the moment of something amazing!


I made this Valentine on Picnik. So sad it is closing down.

Button

I love when I press the shiny red button on my espresso machine and it makes it's starting noise.

..apple of my eye...

I just wanted to share a moment from this past weekend. First let me say I love the relationship between The Peddler and his daughter and watching them interact always brings a bit of healing to my own personal little girl heart.

Sunday as he was driving her to her mom's house he asked her-"Do you know what it means when I say you are the apple of my eye?" Of course the little 9 year old responded-"Nope!"

The peddler asked her to tell him why she likes apples so much.  She responded-"They are yummy, they taste so good, they are really sweet, they are red and shiny, they are my favorite, they make me HAPPY!"

The Peddler went on to tell her that when he say's, "You are the apple of my eye," that what he means is..."She is his favorite, she makes him happy, she is so sweet and shiny." Of course the 9 year old just looked at him and smiled.



Psalm 17:7-9

 Show me the wonders of your great love, 
   you who save by your right hand 
   those who take refuge in you from their foes. 
Keep me as the apple of your eye; 
   hide me in the shadow of your wings
