Saving the world one parking spot at a time

This is my take on saving the world one parking spot of the time.

We are all in on this you have either been the person waiting for them to park or the person flustered trying to parallel park their car...

I have seen countless people back in and out of a parking spot only to go nowhere as if they were swimming laps in a one way pool. I said out loud to my son "This is like watching the salmon run"

 I have actually tried to save drivers and offered my assistance to a young gentleman once who was so red in the face and looking for a life raft as if drowning at sea, mortified at his inability to park his car in the only spot left for miles. Meanwhile his date is embarrassed and trying to hide on the floor under the dash or wish herself invisible. 

So this is my good deed of the day after sitting waiting for my carry out. I watch several people attempt over and over to parrallel park to run in and get their carry out. It became a game between my son and I just to see how many times they would pull forward and back up and how many turns it took them before they actually got in the spot only to realize they were still three feet from the curb.

Here is visual aid...

 I can't take credit for my parallel parking skills. I owe every ounce of my parallel parking to my mother as she bestowed to me this gift and it has my boys in awe that their Mom can not only parallel park  but she does it with only one turn. They think I'm super human. Shhhh... Let keeps this between us:)

Here is the magic...

 I have witnessed so many people struggle with this driving skill so this is my public service announcement. 

I look forward to seeing everyone parallel park with confidence... It's the first of many steps towards World peace!

Your Welcome!

Enjoy this glorious day!

Grilling and Chillin' Brunch!

OK so we are known for coloring outside the lines around here we make French toast 1 million different ways but today we put a fun little spin and threw a curveball on a regular French toast recipe so there is no recipe attached here. Just use your favorite French toast recipe and instead of cooking it in a regular pan heat up your grill pan cook the French toast on the grill pan. When you're finished, butter the grill pan sprinkle sliced bananas with cinnamon and sugar and grill them until they caramelized and brown top off your French toast... crush some slivered almonds and rock out your brunch!

And than go get a mani! Ha just realized my nail is chipped in this pic!

Lol

Have a glorious day!

Cherries in the snow!

Fresh summer cherries are right around the corner...

But util than cherries in the snow will have to do! 

Here in Cleveland we know a thing or two about rolling with the punches, bending like the willow and enduring and making the best of things... Sports teams like the Cleveland Browns and snow storms in spring can do that to a Clevelander! 

We don't discuss politics here but on a side note from the mouths of babes my son just said "Johnny Manziel is the Donald  Trump of football" I take it he's not voting for The Donald... 

funny kid... But we love it here... There is much to love in this city that you would be amazed, so put us on your bucket list once the snow melts if you have never been!

So today we celebrate this day... It's another day to plan the garden instead of digging it, a day of organizing your closet for when spring actually springs, a day that we can rest easy because we have a bit more time to squeez in a few more pull-ups and sit-ups before squeezing into that string bikini from last year and use this time be one with our yoga mat until then...

We brighten your day further with this yummy treat!
