Last post of the year.... Thanks and MORE!

Hello everybody! December has been hectic with good activities here "en Mi casa" which is "Tu Casa" too! I've had visits from Mexico, friends and family! I also had lots of baking to do and cooking, I sold tons of Christmas Cookies and Chocoflan Cake so I got a new camera with part of the money I made from alll the baking (I was soooo needing it for better pictures) and I've also been enjoying hubby being home! He's been off of of work for about a week now, he'll go back to work on Wednesday (I wish I was rich to keep him always to ourselves! LOL!) So... it's been impossible to post more often or reply but once things go back to normal I am sure everything will be better here!

I just want to take the opportunity to thank you all for being with me in 2012! This year has been the "come back" of  "The Coffee Shop" and I've been very blessed to get to know more people through this blog! Thank you all for being here! For sharing, for commenting, for being so supportive! And for encouraging me with my projects! Thank you for trying my recipes!

I hope 2013 will be filled with new blessings that we can all share together!

Do you have any goals/resolutions for this year? Would you like to share? Whether they are personal or blogging goals... feel free to share

I lost 40 pounds in 2012 and I'm going for the rest this year! I hope I'll do a better job with homeschooling and finally have a serious calendar/schedule that I'll adhere too... and in the blogging area ... well... I hope our Coffee Friday Party just "takes off" !

By the way... join us this Friday ... we will have a featured blogger!

... Anything else? Well... I just wish you all a Happy and successful 2013!

New Day! New Year! New Mercies!

Happy 2010 everyone! It is so exciting to start a New Year! It is a new opportunity to be kinder to others, to be more content and grateful, to be better! I am just so thankful with God for all of His blessings, for allowing me to see a New Year with good health and knowing that my family in Mexico is blessed too! to be here with my husband and my daughter who love me and I love... Thank you Lord!

My husband and I made a "balance of the year" (while drinking coffee of course) some nights ago... we thought of the things that happened during 2009, those good and probably not so good events and we know that even in the moments that we could have thought that we were in trouble it was all for a purpose, for God's glory! and what we got out of that balance is that we are basically thankful for salvation (always), for our daughter, our family, friends, our house, his job. God's been so GOOD to us! and we hope we can serve Him better on 2010!

I haven't really made a list of goals for 2010... but I guess I know exactly what I should do... so I am going to write it anyway...

• Be consistent reading His word and spending time with HIM.


• See my family in Mexico... I have to see them! I miss them so much! (but this is something that God will have to do for me.... only He can!)


• Be consistent in the GYM.


• Learn how to make all of the different types of bread my dad bakes!


• Eat fruit (I usually don't!)

I guess I could have a longer list but why would I? This already gives me enough to work on!

Of course I have goals for this blog too... like new topics to discuss, start giveaways (that I am already working on) and some other projects and ideas I have in mind! Right now I am just thrilled I found SITS and how great the ladies (and their blogs) are!

I just wanted to share with you... a little bit about my plans for 2010! and again... wish you all a Happy New Year!
