Laurie Berkner Show
When I saw she was coming to Norwalk I called my oldest while she was with her dad and asked if she would like to go. She said of course! We listened to Laurie Berkner when my oldest was a toddler. All the memories hit me. We kept smiling at one another at the show and singing and dancing. My two youngest weren’t as familiar with her music but still jumped around and sang.
There’s something empowering about taking three kids out solo and they having a respect for you to behave and be good. I must say no one wants to parent solo but my journey alone with them has been pretty rewarding. Happiness should always be the main goal. Solo. Together. Whatever.
Grateful for my three girls.
Those Rare Special Moments
That connection...there’s just something about it that makes you happy to be around someone. Where you can be yourself and not worry about being judged. Where hanging for hours feels like minutes. When you don’t want the night to end because you’re so happy in the moment. That real...deep connection. That’s not something you can have with just anyone. Those moments...those people...you hold on to them.
The Haus Old Fashioned In Bridgeport CT
I have been wanting to check this place out. I finally got to and it’s so pretty inside. I ordered the Haus Old Fashioned. They light rosemary on fire, cover it with a plate. Then mix your drink in it.
It was too late at night to eat so we just got drinks but I would love to go back for dinner and hang. Great atmosphere.

Reprogram Your Mind
I started to realize I was repeating some behavior from my past. How I reacted to situations. When I wasn’t being heard or triggered I would respond like I have done in the past with my previous relationship. The old brain didn’t cause good results so why would I assume they will cause good ones now? I had to reprogram myself to stop myself and say no that’s not how you want to react. When I became defensive I would be mean and I by all means I don’t want to be a mean person. I want a flow of happiness and peace. Yet, I reacted like my old self/ old brain.
They always say don’t bring the same fears, beliefs, habits of old relationships into a new one. Each situation is unique yet I started to repeat patterns. So I decided today to put it to an end. No more old habits, defensive ways. Every person and situation is new. A clean slate. It’s time to reprogram yourself to create the life you do want and who you really want to be
I saw this article that was helpful.

It’s Your Choice
Everyday you have a choice of how you want your day to be. You have to remember that.

Milk Craft Churro Cone
You can’t go to Fairfield and NOT stop in Milkcraft. Perfect for any sugar fix. The salted caramel is my favorite topped with kettle popcorn. Add a churro cone and you just created something magical.

Trust Your Path...
I kept finding dimes and seeing 222. I know these signs may be nothing but when your journey is off it’s nice to get signs that remind you everything is going to be ok and the way they should be. Don’t ignore your intuition or signs. Follow your path!

Enjoy Your Own Company
I started walking a lot lately. Something about the vitamin D and sunshine hitting the body helps clear the mind.
I liked doing this solo. I put my headset on and just let my thoughts melt away. It’s good to connect with yourself. To be your best fan. When was the last time you took time for yourself. Alone. Your own thoughts and goals? Try it sometime it’s not lonely. It’s actually great for you.
Now That’s A BEC...Joey B’s
I have been craving a bacon,egg and cheese for a while now. At first I didn’t realize this was a diner and have seen it a couple of times. Today I saw people walking in and decided to give it a try. I had a couple of hours to kill and decided to grab breakfast solo. I must say it was totally delicious! I sat outside with my headset on. The menu is really filled with great items. It was a great way to start my Sunday.

Basso Cafe In Norwalk
I crashed my parents date night and I have no regrets at all. They have been coming here a lot and I finally got to taste what all the fuss was about. It’s a really pretty place. The staff is extremely friendly. The food was delicious and everything tastes homemade. The burrata was over a passion fruit glaze topped with balsamic. The arepa were my favorite. Filled with chicken salad. The best arepa- light not too thick just perfect. I had the skirt steak for dinner. So tender and delicious. My dad had spaghetti with Vongole- clams- he loved it. Dessert we had their lemon dessert special. It was so pretty and so good!! This place has been around for a while and I always drive by thinking I need to try it. Glad I did. I would totally go back plus the company was great too!

Parents Be Your Best Version Always
Never stay together just for the kids. It’s about being two parents who respect eachother. Whether married or divorced. Always be civil to one another. Always create a safe place for your kids.

Feel Good Song
Whenever I give my daughters a bath we always play music. Usually I let them pick which pandora station. Tonight they asked me which song was my favorite. I played a couple then remembered this one. Which for some reason always made me want to dance. So I started to look up classes and belly dancing classes. Because it’s nice to have something to do solo yet new. I have been saying for a while I need to start a new hobby, class, activity. Maybe this can be it...
Happiness Is A Mood
Decide today to be happy. Not when something changes or when life works out. Not when you figure things out or reach your goal. Be happy today just because being happy feels good. Helps you see life differently. Brings you peace and joy. Be happy just because...
One day my daughter asked me what my New Year’s resolution was. I told her to be happy. She replied “but Mom you’re already happy, probably the most happy person I know”. I replied “Honey we always have to work on being happier, pure happiness is an everyday job”.

Churro Sundae At El Segundo
This just might be heaven in a bowl. I always get their churros but tonight I decided to get their churros sundae and I must say it was on point!! Warm churros on top of coffee ice cream, topped with candied pecans. Um yeah, I will be ordering this again next Taco Tuesday!
I always leave this place happy!
The Naan In Westport
My sister has been telling me about this place. I saw a groupon so decided to check it out. I won’t lie I am not a huge Indian food lover but I do crave it once in a while. I checked it out with a friend and ordered my favorite dishes. My ex husband was a huge Indian food lover so thanks to him I knew what to order. The aaloo naan bread- stuffed with potatoes, chicken tandoori which came out like fajitas do- steaming hot and the waiter served it to us with a side of basmatic rice. For an app my friend had the lentil soup which was pureed and for dessert we had the fried ice cream. The inside is really pretty. Really good place and always a fun time trying a new place. Check it out
