My name is Aline. Just a place for my thoughts and other stuff that comes around. I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend. I am a stay at home mom to 2 of the greatest kids in the world. We moved to a suburb of Chicago a few years ago, but I am still a city girl at heart. I'm a foodie, tv junkie, and love celeb gossip.

First day of swim lessons. Little boy was supposed to be in level 1 and Princess M in level 2 but he made enough of a stink (lots of tears) that one of the lifeguards took both kids.
This year has been good. Nothing really bad happened (thank goodness) and nothing outrageously great has happened. I would much rather have a year like this then something bad happening.
It has been a great year watching the kids grow to be the little people that they are today. A tiring year of taking care of Matt with the 2 major surgeries that he had (shoulder and spine).
We had a great weekend celebrating in the city. I’ve had a cold for about a week now but it has escalated to no voice whatsoever and a very sore throat. Being sick on my birthday sucks but at least I was healthy enough to celebrate with friends and family this weekend.
I’m looking forward to seeing what this year has in store for me and my family.
Old Town Art fair today, anyone else going to be around that area and want to meet for a drink?
Geja’s for fondue dinner tonight for an early birthday celebration with my best girls and their guys!
My birthday is on Monday. Took some idea pics in the Hall of Gems at the museum today (in case Matt needed any ideas). Never gonna happen, jewels are for anniversaries (big ones, the number of years, not size) and having babies (he spoiled me with the 2 kiddos, diamonds are great, small ones in a necklace and bracelet ‘push presents’).
