Azul Sensatori Riviera Maya Cancun Mexico
By on November 29, 2010 with
Last September, we had a vacation at the hotel, Azul Sensatori, by Karisma. We went as couples, leaving our 9 kids at home. It was a great break after the craziness of the back-to-school rush. The lush grounds of Azul Sensatori and the beach butlers were a welcome sight. Our Premium Jacuzzi Suite rooms were spacious and modern with a lovely view of the ocean. Had we brought our 9 kids along (next time!) they would have loved the spaces created just for them. Azul Sensatori has … [Read more...]
Fancy Friday Holiday Shopping
By on November 26, 2010 with
We, along with our husbands, have every age and stage in our own large families. We have 9 children total and they run from preschool age 3 through 1st grade, elementary school, middle school, to our oldest 16 year old boys. We are the main shoppers of our households so along with the decorating, the cooking, the shopping and the wrapping this is a busy time of year. But, gift giving is something we love to do.

Chicago Trip With Kids
By on November 23, 2010 with
Just a couple a few weeks ago I took these three on a trip to Chicago during fall break. My 13 year old daughter was in Washington, D.C. on her 8th grade class trip. My husband had business in Chicago and flew there early in the morning. That same morning, I started driving from Minneapolis in my minivan with three kids. You are probably wondering what bet I lost. But, really it wasn't too bad. Truly. We went from Chicago to visit my brother's family so we needed the van. There is nothing like driving up to a nice hotel … [Read more...]

I've done it! I finally made the Thanksgiving menu. In our home there are dishes we have year to year but, there are always new twists we add. Here it is! Two Turkeys...one smoked with an apple, pecan and mushroom stuffing. (There is no recipe for this yet. Devon will "wing it" and come up with something delish!) The other turkey we will be going back to a Martha Stewart recipe we made over ten years ago that produced the most beautiful and delicious bird you have ever seen or eaten! It has a pomegranate glaze! The … [Read more...]

Satin ribbons, colorful paint chips, textures of fabrics, thoughtful details in a jacket, fall vegetables and handmade crafts all inspire us! But, conversation with new friends and old, are the moments we live for! We have had many people over this past year stop by our Table. Some of which have become good friends and others we wish we had more time to get to know! Today, we want to thank a few of them for inspiring us! Random Thoughts of a Citymouse Debi's "Tunes I Like Tuesday" keeps our work sounds fresh and … [Read more...]
