New Stove

About 5 months ago I moved in this new rental and I know I've been majoring slacking in showing pictures of it. Truth is, I'm still not 100% satisfied of how we're settled at the moment, I'm still moving furniture around to find the perfect "feel" for each room.
Of one thing I wasn't completely happy was the age of the appliances in the kitchen: I think it's safe to say that they are vintage lol But it's wasn't a deal breaker as long as they worked fine, but few months a go the stove started giving me grief. The oven worked on high temperature only, basically burning most of the dinners and the top of the stove worked sporadically, leaving me basically to microwave most of the food. I was getting upset 'cause I really love to bake.
Here is the "vintage" stove:

The landlord, learning about my cooking trouble, immediately rectified the situation with this new beauty directly from Sears

What? Are you asking where did I get those cute cupcake potholders?
They are my newest purchase from Marie, My1SweetAngel


Aren't those gorgeous or what??? But don't touch, those are mine! They match perfectly with the arpon I got for my craft show (read HERE)
Go find your own at My1SweetAngel!

Back to school: Michelle in Kindergarten


I can't believe it's happening, but my Michelle started Kindergarten today.
Back to school is always a crazy time, with new routines and tons of things to remember....the day started for me with dropping one of my earrings in the toilet on the way out with consequential getting all wet to recuperate it and have to dress all over again.
I understood right there I was gonna have a fine day lol
But luckily all went well. Michelle went from super excited to be a nerve wreck, to be totally exhausted.
The pic above it's her sitting in her classroom during her orientation few days ago and here she is, all her beauty, starting a new school year, actually THE school year: the Kindergarten one.



She insisted on bringing her BFF, her jaguar that of course came back home with me once "we" dropped her off.
We came back just few minutes ago, just in time to avoid a very typical Floridian storm.
She had a wonderful day and looking forward for tomorrow :)

I can still remember the first day of Gabriel's kindergarten, but time fly by and he's already in 2nd grade.
