My Quotable Kid

So I, like most parents, think my kids are the most amazing, smartest, funniest little beings on the planet earth. They say the most amazing and funniest things and I started thinking maybe, if I write everything they say down I could write a book. Of course my common sense kicked in and I thought, in reality WHO would buy this book? 

As synchronicity usually works in my favor, I came across the book 'My Quotable Kid' at Barnes and Nobles. It has been awesome being able to write in the sweetest, funniest things my boys say. I was also ecstatic to find that they have 'My Quotable Grandkid' as well! My mom is obsessed with it.

Hope you enjoy this book as much as my mom and I do!! FYI - This is a great gift for Mom's  and Grandmother's on Mother's Day!!!

Peace & Love, Kali

100 Day of School Project

Hi All, 

So my son had a '100 Day of School' T-Shirt Project due last week. I searched the web high and low, and let me tell you, there are some of the most creative projects out there!! He came up with his own idea of putting stickers on a T-Shirt. The project entailed placing items on a shirt in increments of 2, 5, or 10; I figured 10 would be the easiest to accomplish. 

As all parent's become accustomed to, when you have more than one child, what you do for one you HAVE to do for the other. So of course I go the little one a Tee and some stickers as well. 

In case anyone is looking for a '100 Day Project ' idea, here ya go! Tell me what you think! 

Peace & love,  Kali

My B-Day Surprise!!

So my birthday just passed last week and for my birthday gift my wonderful dear Fiancé gave me a huge a surprise!! He brought my mom and grandmother down here for a week ANDDD took us to Disney :) 

I was so happy my mother was able to be present for when we took the boys to Disney for the first time. Even before we left she was saying how she wanted to be in Florida when we decided to take the boys and she did not want to miss the experience. Not only was she able to share that moment with us, but my grandmother had never been to Disney and she always wished she would be able to visit. My grandmother is 83 and it was such a special moment having my family here and being able to share one of her dreams with her. And of course in TRUE Tourist fashion, we all wore disney related shirts with our position in the family (Dad, Mom, Grandma). My shirt was slightly different as it was my birthday. My Tee said 'All about me'. The best thing is we found these shirts in Target!! 

My Fiance fulfilled so many wishes and dreams and we will always be grateful! 

Good Deed of the Day

Hi Everyone!! So I have an amazing story I would like to share. It has deeply touched my heart, and everyone involved. 

The other day my Fiancé and I found a wallet in the street. It contained $230, Medicare Cards, Credit Cards, Insurance Cards, Social Security Cards. Besides these things that were replaceable, there were black and white photos of the husband of who we assumed the wallet belonged to. We knew instantly that we had to return the wallet as they had so many personal items we knew must mean so much to someone. My initial thought was to mail the belongs to the address on the ID Card, but my Fiancé pointed out that it was a Miami address and they were just in the Central Florida area just a couple days ago (according to the receipts we found in the wallet). When we got home we decided to google the address. Sure enough, the address had recently been sold this past June. We proceeded to call the BJ's card and provide them with the membership number in an attempt to either retrieve the woman's phone number or provide them with our number so she can call us back. Unfortunately, the phone number they had on file was inactive. My Fiancé decided to call a phone number on a business card, which happened to belong to the wallet owners husband's Urologist. We were finally able to retrieve her number; my Fiancé called her to let her know we had her wallet. She instantly started to cry, she had no idea her wallet was even lost to begin with!!! We drove over to her home which happened to be 15  minutes away from us. She told us that her husband recently passed away in January 2016 and she just moved to Mount Dora to live with her Daughter. She is an 80 year old woman, and had met and been with her husband since she was 14 years old! Her husband knew he was terminal and gave his wallet to her with his personal belongings in it. I'm so happy we found her wallet the same day she lost it and did not have to endure the heartbreak of knowing she lost the wallet. She also told us that she looks through it every night before she goes to sleep, which made me even more happy that we were able to bring it back to her in such a short period of time!! It was a blessing for us to find it. 

We met her daughter and son in law and were able to spend over an hour with this beautiful family! The positivity we felt once we left their home was unbelievable. The following day we received calls from her son in Texas and her cousin in California just to thank us for our kindness. I think their gratefulness meant more to us than what we did for them.  

The Good Dinosaur

So I watched the good dinosaur with my son's the other night, and let me tell you, the waterworks were on! What a tear jerker.  I haven't cried that much since Mufasa died! It was such a cute movie, now my son and his his dad insist I call the boys Arlo and Spot! Hahaha. 

Peace & Love, Kali
