Something New : Mexican Pastries


It was a mighty uneventful weekend for the Ronnebeck family! We started out our Friday night with a chilled cup of Starbucks and a trip to El Habanero which is a little Mexican market in Burien. We went in looking for some Chorizo (also something new for me) and a few spices Eric was on the hunt for to make a recipe he’s been studying. We picked up a few pastries out of pure curiosity and the fact that they were 2 for $1.00! We were on our way out the door when the lady behind the counter asked us to take one more pastry each since it was our first time at El Habanero! We were delighted to try more! They were delicious, I found myself drooling in anticipation of going back and trying more! After much googling, this is what I found that kind of looks like what we picked up, and I found a little ad for El Habanero!

They’re good people, go shop there; for the pastries if nothing else. After El Habnaero we went home and Eric cooked the most fantastic pulled pork quesadillas and I worked on catching up on my blog, Mom’s blog & got Skype Installed! I am looking forward to getting Mom on Skype so we cannot be so lonesome for each other.

Saturday morning we slept in… and it felt SO GOOD! We made Chorizo and egg breakfast burritos - (obviously on a Mexican kick) and we spent the early evening at a Grad party for Lauren. We got a wild hair and headed to Iron Man 2 (two thumbs up) for the evening and before we knew it, 9:00pm!

Sunday morning I woke early-ish (relatively speaking) and Mariya came over, we had lunch at Lago Azul and came home to Eric elbows deep in Italian cuisine. We went back out and shopped around South Center, looking for the worlds perfect bracelet for the cutest shirt, I am pretty impressed to say we were successful … for the most part. Mostly it was nice to catch up with Mariya and spend some time being girly.

So, there you have it… the uneventful Ronnebeck weekend, Gosh I love weekends like this!
Happy Monday everyone!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
