10 Reasons Why You Need a Moms’ Brunch

May 2, 2019

10 Reasons Why You Need a Moms’ Brunch- fun and practical reasons to get together with your girlfriends to connect & escape your kids. Ha!

Making friends as an adult can be really hard. No longer do you meet other kids at the lunch table and declare them your best friend by the end of the week. Instead, you need to put yourself out there in a crowd and meet someone.

My mom and her best friend met while they were getting their nails done. Both of them were getting their nails done in a bright red, both their (then) husbands disliked it. Clearly, this was something to bond over. They have been friends for over 30 years.

I have the most wonderful best friends that live far away. For one, I see her about 1x a year as we mix things up between us visiting each other in Seattle and Tampa. And another, who I chat with daily, on multiple apps (at the same time), and we have only been together 2x in real life. Friendships come in all different ways so you need to savor them, whenever and wherever you can.

Thankfully I have some absolutely fantastic friends here in Florida.

April 9, 2019

We enjoyed a wonderful day at Hollywood Studios starting with a visit to Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy. It was a filled with action and trills. Fun!

Thank you to Disney for inviting me to spend a wonderful day at Hollywood Studios.

It was a happy coincidence to get an invite to get to enjoy Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios while my mother in law was visiting. I was so excited to be able to show her all the fun things that Hollywood Studios has to offer. I’m always so happy getting to check out the different sections of the park- so much to see and do.

Plus, it would be so fun for her to get to experience it with Autumn and Hunter. Disney with your grand kids is always so much fun.

Do you have a style? How would you describe your style? I keep thinking of that since I don’t think I have one. Well, nothing that I can specifically pinpoint. I love what I feel comfortable in (duh!) so it can really vary depending on my mood and what I am doing. But the style I love the most is what you would call “preppy”.

Did you see that Dictionary.com Twitter account tweeted that Gif is pronounced with a soft G?!?!?!

I am excited about this because I am in the ‘JIF’ camp. Not the hard G camp. Nope nope nope!!!! I basically feel vindicated in this tweet. I know that people will disagree with me, but when the creator of Gifs, says it’s with a soft G… then it’s with a soft G, damn it!!!
