Date Night!
Being older means harder firsts when dating. So whenever my boyfriend and I can experience something new it’s always a great time.
He’s never done Korean BBQ so this past weekend we did Wafu in Westport for dinner. As always this place is so delicious. We had a blast. They changed their menu a little but we got their pork belly- my favorite and it was delicious.
We have been wanting to go to hookah. A first for him. But everywhere has been closed due to Covid. Olive Tree Hookah lounge in Milford was open.
I have been here years ago. We got Orange and mint. Was delicious. We picked up liquor on the way and hung out here for hours. There was a DJ. It’s very relaxing.
I was happy I was able to show him some new places. We love that the world is getting a little easier to have fun date nights. Date nights are so important. It’s a great way to reconnect and of course have fun! When was the last fun date night you went on?
Celebrating 13
Was a great day celebrating her turning 13.
She wanted a Greys Anatomy themed party. So I had to get creative with decorations.
I bought gummy shaped bandaids. There was operation for the kids to play. I even bought syringes that are for Jell-O shots and made it for the adults.
The kids I put ice box cake, which is pudding and graham crackers in theirs.
They were a hit!!
There’s a Teenager In My House
13…..
How can that be?! I have a teenager in my house. She’s actually amazing. She’s so smart and sweet and kind and really my best friend. I would never tell her that…. To her I am Mom. But she’s so special. She’s really so special. She still always hugs me goodbye and tells me she loves me whenever she leaves the room. We are so close and she’s made being a mom so enjoyable and easy.
She’s different.
She doesn’t follow the crowd. She doesn’t give me trouble. She’s not a typical teenager girl. She loves us. She cares and is kind and honest. She loves being with us and she makes my heart so happy. I hope she never changes!
13 years ago I became a mom and she’s made the journey so easy for me.
I will always be her number 1 Fan!!!

Fun at the Rowayton Holiday Bazaar
I go every year with my friend. We always find some fun stuff. She purchased a couple of necklaces and ornament. I got a necklace and ornament. It’s a fun way to get in the holiday spirit. There’s a $1 admission to get in.
She even bought honey you can cook with or put on toast.
It’s taking place again tomorrow.

Thanksgiving was Different This Year
We hugged a little tighter. Laughed a little more. We all remembered we couldn’t be together last year. We all enjoyed it a lot more this year. Thanksgiving reminded us how lucky we were to be together. Nothing but love, great food and happy company.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I wish you a day full of love, good company, fun conversations and full bellies. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! 🧡

The Cascades at the Stanley Hotel
Have you heard of the Stanley Hotel It’s where the Shinning was filmed. Stephen King stayed here and got inspired to write the thriller. There’s a rumor of it still being haunted by the owner who passed.
I have been here before but never ate here. I wanted to pick a cool place for to have my boyfriend’s bday dinner since it was the day before we left for my work trip to Colorado.
It was perfect!
We ate at the Cascades Now I don’t normally order steak out because I love the way my father grills it. BUT this place was amazing!!!
It was up top with the best place I ever had a steak. The corn bread had honey butter all over it. It melted in your mouth. The ambiance reminded me of the game clue.
There are four restaurants on site. I would totally come back to this one. If you stay ate the hotel be sure to

Moonshine Margaritas…Thanks Colorado
We were walking downtown and saw this sign. Moonshine Tasting.
Have you ever tried Moonshine? It’s super strong. It hits you hard. We tried the regular one and then there were a ton of flavors to choose from.
I went with the margarita moonshine. It was strong and then he added a shot of lemonade to it and it was delicious!!
I asked if we could get two big margaritas with lemonade to go. He laughed.
What’s your favorite flavored Moonshine?
