Blog Awards and Mascarpone Chocolate Toffee Bars

July 28th, 2009

I’m tired, it has been a busy day. I’m sure many of you busy moms can relate and may have had a similar day. Wake Up, make breakfast, do dishes, make beds, do some laundry, break up the boys fighting, workout (very very important!!!), run errands, dry cleaners, pharmacy etc., pick-up 15 year old from Geometry, ( this I do with great pleasure, He wants to be a surgeon and I’m hoping “Plastic”, he wants to get a jump start on math over the summer, I just hope He remembers all my chauffeuring him around and gives me the “Works” for free someday) come home make lunch, do lunch dishes, play with four year old, keep an eye on 12 year old (We have a rather large BEAR roaming in our woods!!! Would not like to see the bear running around the back yard chasing my sons) Start dinner, promised dessert, so need to make that, oh what was I thinking, clean up after dinner, tend to some Paris House business……COLLAPSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now it is my time , even if for only a few minutes. I’m grabbing a delicious piece of homemade “Mascarpone Chocolate Toffee Bars”. get the recipe HERE

Planning to light a few homemade votives, even though the sun is still streaming in…it relaxes me, put on La Boheme……..

Bring one of my favorite vases over to the table…We purchased this in Todas Santos, a little town off the beaten path in Mexico. I love it, it still has the price in pesos penciled on it. The little old lady that sold it to me was so beautiful . This will surely help me relax…….

As much as I would love a glass of champagne, tonight I’m in the mood for tea……

I’m going to bring everything over to the table, grab my computer, enjoy my dessert, tea, work on my blog and just relax for a few minutes, maybe JUST maybe go through some old Domino magazines……UNTIL I HEAR MOM!!!!!!!…..the word I enjoy hearing more than anything:)

I want to thank the fabulous Mimi at Frump’s Findings for giving me this generous award. Coming from Mimi it means the World to me. I absolutely love her blog and can’t wait each day to read what is going on in that wonderful families life. She writes about her family, friends and life in a way that makes you feel like you have known her your entire life.

I would like to pass this on to a few blogs that I enjoy reading. I have so many favorites, that I will start with those that I have been following for awhile and that just make me happy!! I love to read about someones life. When they share their struggles you feel you are not alone in yours, When they share funny stories I LOL, or sad stories, I cry. Hands down I would always rather read and see pictures that tell the story of the blogger’s life. I always feel inspired when I read the following:
1) Karyn, at french charming- She is an amazing Woman
2) Kristin and Megan at BonBon Rose- they save me a lot of time when it comes to shopping!!
3) Danielle at Brown eyed Gal ( I’m not sure but I think Mimi gave her an award, and I gave her one awhile ago, but she is so adorable and sweet, I’m giving her another one!!)
4) Sabine at La Marquise Des Anges- she is creative, and tells wonderful stories of her life.
5)Turquoise Diaries- Just an amazing travel journey through Turkey and various locations. Breathtaking photos, wonderful information and facts, Glorious photography.

    K, I'm so hiGhjaCkin' that recipe…Thanks for sharing. Your day sounds like my day everyday…That word "Mom" is such a joy to hear! Yesterday my 5 year old says to me "Mom, did you make this juice from scratch?…It tastes just like a mother's love" she says. I cracked up laughing for like 15 mins…You have to understand my home is full of drama queens…I better get them into acting school!

  16. KK says:

    A bear? Like a living creature? That's the sort of thing I prefer seeing on the other side of plexiglass! Stay safe!!

    Thanks for visiting my blog today. I'm loving yours too. Do you live near Saratoga? I'm in the Cap Region. We're practically neighbors (or like 45 mins on the Northway neighbors anyway).
