to or not to.....

 
 
not to toot our own horn but....
 
the christmas card we sent out last year was pretty awesome
 
(photos by hrw and card design by silly me baby and design....i don't have a scanner so the photo is the proof she sent us last year.  hence the word 'proof' written across the card)
 
part of me sees no point in sending out a christmas card
ever again
why bother
we can't top last year's card
 
but the other part of me
(the part who's inner monologue is mi madre's voice)
thinks that is lame and not very festive
 
alas.....
a card shall be sent
after all....'tis the season'
we won't even attempt to top last year
it will be simple
sweet
and star this handsome fellow
 
 
 
PS: i had originally thought about sending a christmas postcard, but then i got nervous someones card would arrive starring henry with a scribbled on mustache and monocle...so i opted for a regular 'in an envelope' kind of card

i took a chance


 
 
the other day i spritzed my wrist with a little
 
of chanel's chance eau tendre
 
i'm in the market for a new scent and thought maybe this could be it
 
i stretched my arm out to let mi madre get a whiff
 
what followed was her making the stink face and then informing me
 
'it kind of smells like a scented maxi pad.....'
 
fail
 
the search continues

well....he's 2

 
 
 
 
i'm not sure when it happened
 
but somewhere along the line a year passed
 
and my sweet boy is two
 
two i say!
 
can you believe it?
 
i sure as hell can't
 
sometimes i think i don't have what it takes to be the kind of mom i want to be
 
but then i look into this sweet boy's face and he gives me strength i didn't even know i had
