Birthday Celebration In Photos
My mom celebrated her 84th birthday this year. We asked her if she wanted to go out to eat. “No, I want everyone to come here and we order”. So that is what we did. Last Sunday, my daughter Vera and her family (husband Bill, Natalie, Liam and Caleb) came and so did my sister Marianne and her daughter Sandra.
We ordered the Greek food from our favorite place, Taverna Kyclades. They do not take reservations, so when we go there, it is always a wait, at least 45 minutes. The plan was to call and order, my daughter and her husband then went and picked it all up. 
We ate cold antipasto dips with olive bread, fried cheese, grilled shrimp, pork and chicken kebabs, fried whiting, Greek salad, lemon potatoes and beets. Everyone was happy because there was something for everyone.
I got to see my darlings, they are growing so fast.
It was a toss up on the cake. I first thought about a chocolate mousse cake and then last weekend was so beautiful, that I decided on a ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins . Boom! I just loved the three ice cream cones on top. Natalie, Liam and Sandra each had a cone.
Caleb got to eat some of the Oreo ice cream chocolate cake. He had a long day playing and crawling around. Finally, he had enough, right after this photo he fell asleep 🙂
Every birthday is a blessing. Don’t take them for granted. Celebrate every birthday with a grateful heart.
This is a video my daughter took of the day.
BabyGanics Foaming Hand Soap
Do you want a baby safe home? Of couse you do. So go out and get BabyGanics products. BabyGanic products are a must have in homes. I am hooked on the BabyGanics spray cleaner and now I am hooked on BabyGanics foaming hand soap.
BabyGanics foaming hand soap has, NO: triclosan, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, artificial fragrances or dyes. AWESOME!
I keep my BabyGanics Foaming Hand Soap in the perfect place, right by my kitchen sink. See when the grand kids come over I am always making them wash their hands, and they find it easy to clean up at the kitchen sink. They love the foam and I love the water less cleaning action the foam does on their little hands.
Just foam no water, GREAT!
And it is very easy for me to use as well. I pump the pump and out comes the foam, and as I wipe the foam all over my hands I know that this foam is not only cleaning my hands but also moisturizing. BabyGanics foaming hand soap makes for happy hands for the whole family.

YIAH Pesto Roasted Potatoes
A fellow blogger Frantic in the Kitchen was sweet enough to send Groovin Moms a jar of YIAH Tuscan Style Capsium Pesto Dip Mix. We have had so much snow here in New York this winter, I made it a point to get the oven on somehow. So, I thought why not use this mix on my favorite roasted potatoes. Boom!! The aroma that filled the house was amazing.
Here is the simple recipe:
Preheat Oven 400
4 peeled and sliced potatoes
Good drizzle of Olive Oil
Cap full of vinegar
Salt/Pepper to taste
1/4 Tsp of Yiah Pesto Mix – you can adjust to taste.
Mix and coat everything in a baking dish (no clean-up) Place in preheated oven for 45 min or until golden. Enjoy 🙂
Thank You Sofia!!
