Richmond Real Estate Mom: Spring Break Recap & Menu Planner

http://alysonstoakley.blogspot.com/2015/04/spring-break-recap-menu-planner.html

April 12, 2015. Spring Break Recap and Menu Planner. I have to say the start of our spring break was far from exciting. We just went to Disney. So I don't feel too bad about it. Also, sometimes it is nice just to be able to sleep in and not be rushing out the door to catch the bus at 7:15 am every morning! On Thursday, we did skip town and head to Sandbridge. To visit Michael's parents. The weather was great and we were able to spend a few hours on the beach on Friday. There was also time for croquet!

Richmond Real Estate Mom: Weekend Recap & Menu Planner

http://alysonstoakley.blogspot.com/2015/05/weekend-recap-menu-planner.html

May 3, 2015. Weekend Recap and Menu Planner. We lost our sweet Cougar on Friday. We discovered last fall that she had cancer and we tried some things to prolong her life but decided at the end of last week that she was now suffering. We are feeling some comfort in the fact that she is in a better place now. It is still a hard adjustment for everyone. Camille and I went for pedicures yesterday to celebrate her great report card. Hopefully I will have a good turnout! Here goes with this week's menu planner.

Richmond Real Estate Mom: Mother's Day

http://alysonstoakley.blogspot.com/2015/05/mothers-day.html

May 13, 2015. We spent most of last weekend in the hospital with Clyde. He fell off his bike on Friday evening and the handlebars pushed far into his belly. He woke up in tons of pain in the middle of the night Friday. We decided to take him to the ER and they ran a bunch of tests. The doctors were worried about internal injuries. Thankfully he is completely fine. She is doing much better but in the boot for three weeks. :(. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Plenty of fresh ground pepper. 2 dollops of mayonnaise. 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, freshly grated if possible. How to Make Croutons.

Richmond Real Estate Mom: Kitchen Remodel

http://alysonstoakley.blogspot.com/p/before-after.html

From H2 Interior Design. We have an awesome kitchen and great room. We removed this wall to the original kitchen to open the space. This is the back wall of the kitchen. We relocated this full bath and turned this area into a built in desk space. We ditched this washer/dryer and purchased a stackable that is now in another part of our home. We added a half bathroom here. This is a shot of the kitchen side of the wall that came down to open the space. Back wall of the kitchen. View from the dining room.

Richmond Real Estate Mom: My experience at ALDI and a Giveaway!

http://alysonstoakley.blogspot.com/2015/04/my-experience-at-aldi-and-giveaway.html

April 30, 2015. My experience at ALDI and a Giveaway! Last week, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to preview the new ALDI. On Parham Road prior to the grand opening. I had never been to an ALDI store and knew very little about the concept. Some of the most notable facts about ALDI. After checking out, customers also bag their own groceries in a staging area near the check out. Customers also “rent” a shopping cart. Over 90% of ALDI’s products are exclusive brands. I see this Chardonnay in my future.
