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.

Happy Friendsgiving 2017

November 21, 2017

I love that we found such a great group of friends since moving to Florida.

We just clicked and it works so well with kids all around the same age (5 and under). The kids all play together and we get to hang and talk fun things like crappy sleep, endless weekend to do lists, and boob jobs we dream of. Ah mom life! ha!

Well, we divided up the holidays and hosting duties throughout the year.

Molly and Aaron got Friendsgiving, so we headed over to their house on Saturday with a giant tray of Sausage & Mushroom Stuffing and some booze in hand to hang out with friends while getting stuffed on some really awesome food!

 

They created really cute Thankful cards for each of the kids and gave them crayons to color in a big picture together. It was a good activity for the kids, besides the regular running around and screaming they always do.

Hunter’s future girlfriend Mila… so sweet and squishy. I love fresh babies.

Hunter was thrilled just to hang out with everyone. Also, nom on some blocks.

I did my typical Thanksgiving thing and not eat any turkey but just stuff myself on all the sides.

I realized that my sweet potatoes need work. The ones that Dolly brought were out of this world. They were so incredibly creamy, mine are never like that. But I did rock the stuffing that I brought so at least there is that! I am good with my stuffing skills, but I need to work on things for my sweet potatoes.

 

 

The kids finally wound down and watched a movie.

Ahh, so many girls. The few boys are going to be in trouble in this group!

The ladies stayed in and talked and talked and the guys went outside to build a fire n the fire pit and hang there.

Well, I’d say that the night was a big success!

Can’t wait for our next group party… Dolly & Rocky’s Ugly Sweater Party!!

Birthday 24 LO- Studio Calico 11/28 Sunday Sketch

January 11, 2011

Sketch4

I really struggled with this sketch. Part of the reason that I am just getting to it now, while it was posted at the end of November, errr. I was not sure what to use for photos. I don’t really like to use mini photos, but I have been trying really hard to this past year. So when i recently was unloading my camera I noticed I had photos that would work small and I had enough of them for a LO.

This layout is from my friend Emily’s 24th Birthday from early December. We had a fantastic dinner out at Post 390. We could not decide on what to order to we ordered a lot of little things to share. Dinners out like that are fantastic since we laugh the whole night while enjoying drinks and making amazing plans for our next adventures.

While I struggled with this layout I enjoyed the completed LO because I got so many photos in one layout. I was able to capture everything that we enjoyed for Emily’s birthday. Plus, I really added dimension to my layout with the ribbon and the star pins (from Studio Calico kit) that hold the rolled portion in place.

Thanks for visiting. Please leave me a comment to provide some feedback. I appreciate all the comments I receive.
