Day of the Dead also known as Dia de Muertos

Day of the Dead in Spanish Dia de Muertos is a holiday that is not only celebrate in Mexico but as well as all over the world on the first and second day of November. As any another day this is a day of remembrance of the loved ones that have been lost, and a day to remember them by taking gifts to their graves and gathering the family together to eat their favorite foods and drinks along with a memory wall/alter.

Here is a little of how Mexico celebrate the day of the dead

November 1st is the day that family get together and remember the little ones that they have lost also called the day of the little ones, and November 2nd is for the adults that have lost their lives. The family get together have alter/ a memory wall of their loved ones pictures with candles and flowers called Marigolds and a skull as well the family take gifts to their graves and decorate them.



Around the world also celebrate and here is Brazil where they visit the graves and churches, Spain and Europe has parades with festivals and than gather at the graves and pray for them as well somewhat the same for Asian and African.

I know about this day but my family and I do not celebrate this day but I have been to friends house where have seen them make their loved ones favorite foods and drinks, as well seen the alter set up with there loved ones pictures as well as hear how wonderful their loved ones were. You know what there were a few times that I knew that person and was able to share some stories which was great to be able to do that!

As our anniversary is a month away I look back and thank god for blessing me with such a wonderful, amazing husband who not only loves me, but take care of me and is there for me when I need him for the bad and the good. We have been together since 2005 and of course married since 2008 and I have love every minute being with him and love the time with have together, and only hope that we can get many more years together!

You know there is never a dull moment with my husband and I, and here is something I would like to share

Me: I hope we have many more years together babe

Husband: We will babe, we are going to be in a home together and when that nurse come in and touch you, I will tell him don't touch my wife and hit him with my walker/cane!

Weather changing...Well perfect time to read a good book!

Beside crafts, wife, cooking, and hanging out with friends, and family, I do like to pick up a good book and read and I have the perfect one for you 50 shades of grey...yes I said 50 shades of grey!

Fall, weather is changing, and it's the prefect time of the year to read a book espcailly 50 shades of grey! I love this time of the year because it's a great time to read a good book and of course the holidays. 

So now go get in your favorite pjs, grab a favorite blanket, the 50 shades of grey and go get comfortable in  your cozy spot and start reading! If you decide after a few pages that you don't like what you are reading, please don't stop because that is exactly what my mom did, and she than pass them to me after reading a few pages as well I knew exactly why she stop but I didn't and I am happy I finish all the books. Yes it is a wild, crazy and the language is some what bad but the story will not let you down and for me when I got to the ending of the last book I was suprised, and happy all together.

50 shades of grey books is great and they won't let you down, and it's great to read no matter what time of the year and I hope you will or have enjoy the books just as much as I did.

Enjoy!

By the way if you have any books that you will like to share with me or think I might like, please share with me!

Also if you did read 50 shades of grey what do/did you think about the book? Is it what you expected from beginning to end?

Keep a look out for more of my book reviews!
