One of my Relax Vices...

Normally I am an avid reader. I would try to read as much as my hectic life would allow. I recently got enthralled in the Nightwalker Series by Jacquelyn Frank and found myself waking at 3am to try and finish one of her books.

But there are times when reading is not the go to thing I want to do... the thing is... sometimes get bored of just reading words. I sometimes just want to lie back and watch TV. Well not TV exactly but movies I have collected and put aside to one day... watch. This is the one vice that allows be to focus on only one thing and indulge in another literally world visually. So I had what my husband called ....
"A Kristen Stewart Weekend."

I would not exactly say I intentionally picked Kristen Steward movies!! It's just that the movies I chose to watch had her as the main character. So yes I had a  KS movie night... but I enjoyed it throughly.


In that I watched Snow White and the Huntsman...


Then I watched New Moon....


Finally I looked at Eclipse!!!


It was great ... and I got the chance to just forget everything and enjoy the moment. After spending day after day looking after kids... this was deservingly sinful!!!

I hope everyone gets a chance to take a break... forget the worries and the To-do list and just enjoy life.

    Loved Snow White and the Huntsman! Not a big fan of Kristen Stewart personally, even before the indiscretion :)

    I love to read too and I totally get what you're saying about needing a break from it all sometimes and totally veg out on the couch. Thanks for following me on 'The Magic Fix'. I'm so glad that you stopped by and that you introduced me to your fantastic blog. I like to keep my posts really positive too. There is enough negativity in the world without me adding to it, me think!! x

Family Traditions!!!!

If it is one thing I look forward to around this time is the Carreira's Christmas Tree Family Tradition! Founded by ME :) my sisters and my mom started visiting (or going house to house) homes to help decorate the Christmas Tree as well as decorate the home. When my son was not even a year old was when this tradition began... in my home in Port of Spain. Now 8 years later it has become a Family get together, food and drinks sharing .... and putting up the decorations. I LOVE it. Coming from a home with many siblings (3 brother and 3 sister ... most married with children) it is great when most gather and the house is filled with everyone. Lets just say it is a lot of laughs, bickering, laughs ... silent moments when our mouths are filled with food ... and then delegation on the work area. Did I mention I LOVE it. So here are some pics of the end result. My home is now filled with Christmas ... and I have to start wrapping present. :) This picture shows my mom, a...

She called her 'Gan'

My mother when she was a little girl, was dressed in a crown of flowers, a new dress and shoes and went to throw petals at the feet of her grandmother at the Santa Rosa Festival in Trinidad. You see her grandmother was a Carib Queen and every year they celebrated this Catholic festival in Arima, Trindad. I have never experienced this and though the Carib bloodline is being passed on through me, there is not much I can say about my heritage. In jest I would tell other who ask what I am mixed with, I would say "my people were here first... we did not arrive by boat... we were natives." But I really do not know what that really means. I do not know how to live off the land. In fact I kill all plants and animals that enter my home. I should put a sign ... "Enter at your own risk!" But I do want to understand this particular part of my ancestry. Although I am mixed with Chinese, Spanish, Scottish and Protégées, I have always been curious of the one culture that was h...

Guardian Angel working Overtime!!

Saturday morning this occurred while I was on my way with the kids to my family's home in San Fernando. My car is the Blue Madza and my kids were in the back seat!! I had just stopped at a traffic light with 4 cars ahead of me, waiting for the lights to turn green, when the Green car smashed into me from behind.  All I can say is that we were all frightened by a loud bang from behind, and just as I turned my head to look at my kids in the back, I saw my car skidding on the wet road heading towards the car infront of me. There was no stopping and unfortunately my car struck the car infront of me :( From that point on there was alot of screaming from the kid behind, me trying to calm them, and me trying to get my husband on the phone. Even today I still cannot believe it happened. Clearly the woman who struck me from behind did not see me stopping along with the other cars, clearly she was distracted doing something else than focusing on the road. ...
