2 tbsp. orange marmalade
2 tbsp. apricot preserves

Score top of salami and cover with mixed ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Slice into bite sized pieces and serve with toothpicks.

I cannot wait to get  my hands dirty and try this out on my friends. I just had a baby 5 weeks ago and I should have a cookout with all my beautiful friends. Maybe my husband will be  as generous as Roger and  get  me THIS push present....

 After watching the Season Finale, I was amazed at how real Rachel seemed after having Skyler. I knew she would but was shocked at her change. I LOVE all his little clothes and think when will he have time to wear all those clothes? 

My absolute FAVORITE part of the episode was all the singing and the fighting over the baby between her and Roger. It SO reminded me of my husband and I with our little man Sterling. 
Some of her Lullabies for Quiet Monkey Time
“Sky, Sky/ French fry/ You're daddy’s apple pie/ You're mommies french fry / You're my little guy“
Or his very own story for  bedtime.
There once was a little boy. He was a little prince. And he loves to wear beautiful clothes all the time. He loves Ralph Lauren, he loves Missoni, he loves Stella McCartney. He was the most loved little boy in the whole wide world.

Our Lullabies go more like this but  with the same Tone Deaf
Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy Nanny does the Bouncy
Rocky Rocky Rocky Mommy does the Rocky
Shaky Shaky Shaky Daddy does the Shaky
Hopie does the Bum dum bump bump
Turny Turny Turny here we go
Swingy Swingy Swingy nice and slow
That is just the way we roll

 

Rachel and her Nanny both very stylish. How does she do it? I cannot find time to dry my hair or put a semi decent outfit together how does she get all decked out? One day I will get my groove back.

One thing is  for sure, I have  never seen her  smile so much. That is the blessing that children bring to us as mothers and fathers. I love spending my days with my little man.  Not as Glamorous as Rachel but I will take it any day.

Hello .... Thursday. Am I happy to see you. It is my Friday Which makes it just a little bit sweeter. I was inspired last night as I watch Nick and Vanessa's Dream Wedding on my TIVO. First, I was so excited that I married the other man in the world who loves me as much as Nick Loves Vanessa!! It was like watching us on TV just not as good looking. Pardon the bad lighting but I have received a couple complements so far. Well not sure one was a compliment when I was told I need a 50's style dress and I would be June Cleaver?? I watched this little video last night to show me just how to do it.

Happy Friday Thursday Everyone!!

Friday's Fancie's with {av} at Long Distance Loving. I went out last night to meet some wonderful Bloggers from Charleston at Social Wine Bar. All these woman were beautiful and talented. Made me YEARN for the day I could be as cute as them again. So I decided I needed some online retail therapy just to Day Dream. And Low and behold -- my favorite store now has Bump Wear!! Get out Francesca's. Who would have thought. Thank goodness I am almost done or I would have done some major retail therapy for my bump.

Back to last night... Thank you  to Kim at Keller Creative for putting this together and taking some pictures of the event. It was awesome to meet Amanda, Christina, Ashton, Megan, Mary Loyal, Ashley, Christy, Whitney, Chassity, Madison, Natalie and Caycee. I look forward to seeing everyone again.

I think I am getting excited or inspired one or both. We will be planning our Honeymoon to Paris in 2012. Hopefully the 1st part of the year. Mr.M. is so well traveled compared to myself. I feel like I can only envision my wardrobe in Paris since I only know like 5 places to visit while we are there. The reason I know this is because he and I were watching some travel show and he said I need to be able to name these places or we cannot go. Challenge Accepted and Won!!! So as far as I know - we will be  going to 5 places...

Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, The Sacre Coeur, Notre Dame,and the Arc de Triomphe

Happy Dreaming!!
