Wine and Cheese

By | Celebrations, Cheese | 10 Comments

This is going to be “cheezy” because it will be partly about cheese 🙂

I recently discovered a way to describe my husband and I….

We are WINE AND CHEESE!  James is WINE because he loves wine and I am CHEESE because I love cheese

 and when put together, it is a great pair and a perfect complement!  

Happy 15th year Anniversary to the best husband EVER!   I am a very lucky girl!

Pirate and Sea Princess Bash

By | Celebrations, Christmas | 2 Comments

Tessa is a regular at Heart2Heart because she is all over the place  busy helping and sharing with everyone! Not only that but she brings so much happiness to many!  Heart2Heart admires Tessa and wishes that there were more people in the world like her- to help, share and bring joy to the world!  

Thanks to the Sea Princess herself, Tessa,  for inviting us to your party.  James said that you did not read his beach ball where he wrote ” The Sea Princess” aka Tessa  as his favorite sea creature 🙂  

It was our first time to attend and my friend Joey, cousin of Tessa, told me that she has been having these parties since the year 2000 and every year is a different theme. HOW FUN!  Next time, I am going to come prepared and make sure I bring a big bag and early on I will already hoard some giveaways before it runs out 🙂

Many of us are turning 40 already and Jeanne is one of the first few ones.  Yvonne started aready earlier this year ( Pael’s Surprise for Yvonne May 27, 2009 ) and soon there will be more coming up.  

Jeanne has been my friend since gradeschool and she is a very simple, kind, loving and loyal friend.  She is one of my dearest!  She is forty and looking so beautiful and blooming more than ever! 🙂  Jeanne has a fabric store called Bloomingdales and she designs all her clothes using her fabrics.  She is always very fashionable and dressed up and of course always looks good!

Celebrating Thanksgiving

By | Celebrations, Foodie | No Comments

Heart2Heart would like to share another beautiful article written by Mandy Chavez, a friend of my Dad who lives in the States. This was another article I kept for years in my computer and it proves that Thanksgiving can be what we want it to be.  For Heart2Heart and for many out there,  though it is an American holiday,  many choose to celebrate it just to give thanks. It is a time to pause and think about all the things we should be thankful for…….. and we just realize that there are just too many.    So, from now on, Thanksgiving is an official holiday at Heart2Heart 🙂

This year, we celebrated with Dad and Mom and some foreign guests.  And again, this is proof that we can interpret our own  thanksgiving- though we know that Thanksgiving is always associated with having turkey, my Mom prepared not only turkey but we had lechon and other Filipino dishes.  We had foreign guests and invited them to our family thanksgiving celebration.  I like my Mom’s version of thanksgiving because she “Philippinized it”

Lucia’s First Birthday

By | Celebrations, For kids | 3 Comments

Heart2Heart loves PINK!  What a nice PINK CUPCAKE PARTY for Baby Lucia!!  I was so flattered when my friend, Weng, asked me to take photos of her grand daughter’s birthday party.  Of course I could not say no and squeezed it in my schedule.  She is obviously very proud of her adorable Lucia!!
