One day I Googled best Bacon Egg & Cheese in Fairfield and this place popped up. Since then I have been wanting to try this. This morning I finally got to and it was delicious.
The place is extremely clean and had a significant amount of people ordering even in the early morning.
I ordered a two egg white bacon egg and cheese sandwich. It was delicious! Everything tasted so fresh. Not greasy or too much oil.

Monday Vibes
What are your Monday vibes...mine are a mix of things. From not wanting to get out of bed to jumping out to tackle all the events of the day I have planned. Work. Kids schedule. Night time relaxation.
Not sure about you but sometimes I feel like a puppet. Same stuff...Wake up...Can’t wait for day to end to rest. Start again.
Then I remember how lucky I am to have the life I have. For all the times I wasn’t happy and now can be. How everyday can be different and leave the sorrows of the past behind.
Don’t be a puppet. Be you!

Happy National Cancer Survivors Day. The battles. The scars. The changes in your mind, body and soul. No matter how much people have been there for you they will never know what it’s really like. Cheers to you. May you always know you’re a warrior for what you have gone through.
Local In Sono & Fairfield
This picture doesn’t do justice for the size of this thing. A friend ordered it Friday night at dinner and it looked insane. It’s their Cadillac Burger. A burger topped with pulled pork and a ton of goodness. It wasn’t easy for him to bite into. I didn’t even attempt it but I will tell you any meat lover would love this.

Last time I went to Local was in Fairfield and my friend and I ordered Crab Tater Kegs. Which were amazing and looked like little kegs.

I always forget about this place but it’s a cool spot to have good conversation. Good food and catch a game or hang out.

SoNo 90's Throwback Bar Crawl June 15th
I can’t wait to check this out. I did the Cinco De Mayo bar crawl and it was a lot of fun. It gives you a chance to try out some places in Sono you haven’t been. Each location offer speciality pricing for food. Great deal and fun to do!
What’s Your Purpose? Who Are You Really?
We all have thought about this at one point or another in our life.
I began to see a pattern. A pattern in my life. I attract people who need saving. Broken people. I know I know sounds so silly but it’s true. There are a ton of people out there like me. A ton who get sucked into helping people who need guidance or some sort of friendship or support. The difference is you can’t make their problems yours. You also cannot confuse being a friend with some intimate relationship attached. You can’t save people and lose yourself. Someone is bound to get hurt.
So I met a friend. Who is extremely intuitive. Looked at me and read me like a book. It was sort of freaky. That my friend could pick up on so much just looking at my eyes. The pain, the journey, the experiences. “Peel back your layers” my friend said and reveal your true self.
I have heard this before from a girlfriend of mine. She told me this story about a dragon with layers where at the core was a stunning prince. I think about it all the time. Where we have our outer layer. It protects us. Shelters us. It’s tough. How people see us from the outside. It’s like a mask. Covering our layers. Where under each layer is pain. Experience. Our journey. Then at the core, after all the layers have been stripped away is something not everyone can see in us. Our true self. Our deep core is there. It’s like revealing our soul. Being vulnerable to anyone who has true access to us.
It’s scary for someone to see that in us because we are allowing someone truly in.
If you meditate and learned to focus on your “third eye” you can travel through these layers. Like flashbacks to reveal your inner child, your core.
That person. Your core. Is your true self. Behind the mask. Behind the layers. That true self has a purpose in life. Do you know what yours is? I say I know mine but as I continue my journey in life I slowly discover a little more. As I peel a layer I try not to create a new one or sometimes two or three to protect being hurt again. Being vulnerable isn’t something a single mom wants to be. I won’t lie. But in order for me and yourself to find your true purpose you have to shed those layers to find your true self.
I saw this in an article and it is spot on:
So when people say, “What should I do with my life?” or “What is my life purpose?” what they’re actually asking is: “What can I do with my time that is important?”
What’s important to you?

Best Natural Remedies To Feel Good
What are you giving your body?
I love that Sunshine is #1. We all need sunshine in our life. Natural sunshine and people who brighten our day.
I started having the kids play outside after school for almost 1 hour when the weather is good. The sunshine totally puts us in a better mood. Relaxes us. The warmth, the way everything comes to life when the sun is beaming down. Oh the little joys in life make the biggest impact. The smallest gestures, the most effortless things usually make the biggest impact. We all need more sunshine.

Tabouli Grill Stamford
I have been wanting to try this place for so long. Finally got the chance to and it was delicious. I had the intentions of ordering a Chicken Shawarma pita but when I walked in the waitress was bringing this pita out and I had to get it. It’s their Chicken Garlic pita. So refreshing. I loved the salad inside. The tahini sauce and chicken combo was delicious.
I love Mediterranean food. This is definitely my new spot to go to. Their hummus looked amazing. I ordered food to go so didn’t order a lot but I can’t wait to go back and try the other dishes on their menu.

Match In Sono
I met a friend here for drinks and dinner. After a weekend of activities it was nice to sit down for a quiet meal and conversation. We started with cocktails and their margarita was delicious.
Their garden salad came with a potatoe latke topped with goat cheese. This was absolutely delicious. Refreshing, filling and savory.
We then got a margarita pizza and the bacon with mash potatoes and eggs pizza. It tasted like a breakfast pizza.
Lastly dessert... we split the goey chocolate chip cookie dessert. It came with warm chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter ice cream and bananas on the side.
Never a bad meal when I come here. It’s also nice to know they do change up the menu so it’s always great to try new dishes.
Memorial Day
Today is about remembering and honoring people who have died while serving in the US Armed Forces. For showing our respect to their family, friends and crew who never got to see them again. For them losing their life to protect ours.
Thank you! 🇺🇸

You’re Happy I Am Happy
“The best relationships are built on a foundation of two people who were already happy before they met.” James Sama
This is very important. To be an addition in someone’s life not a source of happiness. Not entering a relationship where someone needs fixing. Where you are already two happy individuals who just want to be happier together. Hard to admit but it’s true.
ShakesBeer June 1st
Come support Shakespeare on the Sound. Beer festival, food trucks and auctions on June 1st.
Milford Food Truck Festival
This was my first time going to this festival. I had my girls for the day and felt like going on a road trip with them. I saw this online and decided to check it out. It was the perfect weather for a festival. There were a ton of food trucks. Vendors selling stuff and activities for children. I liked they had bleachers out so you could sit and eat on them. Kids loved the pony rides, face painting and Thomas the Train rise.
I always walk around first before picking which truck to eat from. I like to see all my options.
We ate pizza fritta, tacos, smoothie, cookies, and fried Oreos. The good thing about going in a group is you get to share everything. We spent almost 4 hours there. It’s going on today and tomorrow. Be sure to check it out.

Bonding...The Little Things Matter
Mom be sure to wake me up at 6:00. It’s a new trend we started. My daughter and I started working out together outside. Sometimes we chat. Sometimes we jog. Sometimes we get lost in our own headset and music. But whatever it is we are taking some time to do something together. Effortless. Healthy. Good for our body and mind and our relationship.
Being away a week for work we had some stuff to catch up on. So this morning we spoke most of the workout. It’s important to build these connections with our children. Even if it is something simple like taking a walk together the mornings I have her.
What bonding efforts do you make with your children?

Happiness Isn’t Attached To A Person
Your happiness should never be dependent or tied solely to a person or thing. Happiness is the power of finding happiness in your goals, surroundings and from all the love and support you have in your life. Those are your dictators in life. Not a person or thing.

Never Settle...Ever!
Life is meant to be an adventure. The good and bad both teach us a lot. Never settle.
I have 3 more big trips for this year. Where you see different parts of the USA. Where you see how others live. I started to realize seeing the sunrise would make me smile. The smell of different air. The desire to explore and try new things. It’s been amazing for my soul. My journey. My path. My growth.
Whoever stays aboard can experience it with me. Whoever leaves thank you for the memories. Whoever wants to join me be prepared for an amazing journey.
Build People Up
This applies to independent men too. In every relationship you have if you aren’t building eachother up. If you don’t compliment their growth efforts. If you don’t want the best for one another then it’s time to move on. Always walk beside eachother and make eachother the best versions of yourself. Never depend on anyone. Male or female. Just be with someone because it makes your heart happy.
Decide What You Want and You Shall Receive
Focus on what you really want. Picture it, be grateful for it and you will receive it. Let go of road blocks!

Best Aquarium In the US... My Vote Is Georgia Aquarium
It’s remarkable. Everyone I asked said it’s a must see. The amazing aquarium where you walk through and above you not only are fish swimming but huge whale sharks!
There’s so much to see. So many rooms and floors. Sea lions, dolphins,beluga whales. It’s extremely clean and organized. Breathtaking view all around you. This is no ordinary aquarium. This is the Georgia Aquarium. 2nd largest aquarium in the world!
Sweet Stack in Atlanta Georgia
Would you like that on a cone or stuffed in between a cookie, brownie or donut? Um what?! This place is amazing. I ordered the salted caramel ice cream. In between a glazed donut with fruity pebbles. They then press it on a griddle so the donut is warm. If you show them that you follow them on Instagram you get 10% off your order. Best dessert!
Georgia...Georgia
I went for work. I swear I did. I met four of my clients at the Summit. One I worked for virtually 10 years. Amazing. So much fun. In between the all day meetings, cocktails dinners and breakfasts I explored. The peach cobbler, shrimp and grits, the late night karaoke bar, walking around the city. The art and history. The amazing, respectful and sweet people. Georgia is definitely one of our top trips.
Gotta love what you do. Who you have in your life. The adventures. The lessons. The blessings. Happy to be home with my kids. Kissed them while they slept. But there’s a lesson here. A lesson we all forget....
You get this one life. THIS life. You have to live it. 100%. Live it for you. For your kids. For your future.
I swear I go to bed happy. Count my blessing. Always be happy for YOU. I wish that for you too!

Checklist Hooters in Atlanta
Ok ok I know. Not a big deal but must say was cool to go in. Everyone in Atlanta are so friendly and fun. When you go out late and need something to eat Hooters was the place to go. First time going and must say their grilled chicken sandwich was delicious.
It was my cousin’s birthday so of course I had them come out and sing and the key lime pie was pretty good.
