Congratulations Angel!!
Yes... it has been forever since my last post... no excuses...
G. graduated last year, I'm so happy for him, so proud of him. It was a little confusing and bittersweet moments for me, but for him I tried my best not to show my sadness or disappointment or whatever I was feeling that time (
...and yes I call him my angel, well not just for his archangel name but also because he is my angel!
and yes I didn't do my hair properly for the occasion, but I was struggling, depressive, mumble, mumble...ain't nobody got time for that! kind of thing... I should have tried harder to look prettier...

Twice as hard.
I'm in debt with this blog. The truth is, I have the time to post but I don't have the will, the urge to do it. Writing (and writing something that is interesting) is really hard. And writing in another language (Portuguese is my first language) is twice as hard.
Despite the problems (unemployed, can't believe I still didn't get my car license, and still living with my parents...), I'm happy and I think that I finally find things I want to do, like cooking (to my kids, for us - G and me and for guests) and to do crafts, clothes, home projects and others stuff for me and my family. I was trying to make this blog in a fashion one, but I don't have the budget right now and definitely don't have creativity to work on with what I have in my closet.
Well I'll stop complaining - it's no good - and show you guys what I was up to these days.
I'm addicted to Pinterest and there I discover a world of crafty things to do, DIY and others great ideas that I needed to keep me busy and creative. You can follow me here.
I have tested a few recipes from Pinterest, some I didn't liked and some turn out to be great. And my favorites so far, I'll post one by one the ones that I love.
No-cook Refrigerator Oatmeal
For this one I did a lot of changes to fit my taste, but if you want to try the original recipe (she shows various versions of flavors), you can find it here. I love to eat at breakfast on a hot summer day (in my case, 300 day a year). :P
Step 1: Assemble these ingredients & supplies:
- 1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 box of Soy cream or 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup Soy milk (I used soy milk, but any kind will work)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons Vitalon or other cereal
- half pint (1 cup) baby food jars
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 cup fruit (diced or spread - strawberries, bananas, mango, apple, etc)
The original recipe have chia seeds, but instead I used a cereal called Vitalon - come with six flavors: rice, rice and oatmeal, oatmeal, oatmeal and corn, corn and a mix of 6 cereals.
You can use Greek yogurt, but if you prefer you can use regular one or like me, soy cream. The blogger have a post with easy instructions for straining regular yogurt to make Greek yogurt.
As for the baby food jars, find them at supermarkets and grocery stores (mayonnaise or others small jars will do just fine).
Step 2: Add oats, milk, yogurt, and cereal to jar, along with desired sweeteners (I used honey) or flavors (see options below).
Step 3: Put a lid on the jar and shake to combine. (I use white and beige plastic jar lids sized to fit canning jars--they last longer than the metal tops and rims that come with the jars, and they are easier to screw on and off, I don't where to find those - they are old).
Step 4: Add fruit and stir gently until combined.
Step 5: Place in fridge overnight and up to 2 days; maybe longer depending on the type and ripeness of the fruit. The non-banana varieties have been good after 4 days for me.

Clara turned 6
I apologize for letting the blog without updates, it is because I am very busy with my commitments. I'll try to keep this page updated more often. Now that's a lie... Well Gabriel would say that, wouldn't he?.
Well, in January it was the birthday of my niece, Maria Clara. She lives in Parana, southern Brazil and I went there to help my sister with the party preparations. We did all the decorating ourselves, including the fake cake made of biscuit, - hate that cake, can't stand even look at it hahaha darnnn biscuit. We had less than a month, and I had never done anything like that. We suffer and struggle but in the end everything worked out. We decide to do a simple pink ballerina theme, because Clara is a ballerina herself - sooocute. Keep it simple because it was easier and also because it was a more intimate party. Hope you enjoy. Here are some photos:
She loves to jump.
With her aunt and uncle: me and Gabriel.
Besties.
With her cousin Junior.
yummies!!
Time sure flies...

Lazy weekend
I spent my weekend at Gabriel's home. We watch some bad horror movies and a bunch of series that we love: Vampire Diaries, Ringer, Community and Big Bang Theory... we let it accumulate until it's Saturday, so we can watch it together. Yay. I took those photos at his building lobby. When we are in the way to buy snacks and sweets to eat while we watching.
