Hot Haven Chicken in Norwalk CT
This just opened in Norwalk and the kids have been asking to try it so we went the other day
It was delicious. Filling. A bit pricey for a combo but huge portions.
I loved the slaw and the sweet sauce- tasted like syrup. You go in and say what level of spice you want. I went for country- no spice but the slaw is a little zesty.
There isn’t a drive thru. Just walk in or pre order.
Glad we got to try it.
Hearts & Football
Every year we celebrate Valentines with everyone during Super Bowl.
Hearts and footballs.
It’s a lot of fun and a great way to spread some love.
The girls really have a lot of fun together. We made cookies and heart pancakes for breakfast and heart pizza for lunch.
Love all around!
It makes me happy the traditions we have created together with our crew and the girls who call eachother sisters ❤️

Rebel Daughter Cookies in Norwalk
We finally got to try this place. Was delicious. It’s on Isaac street in Norwalk. The wonder is super sweet. We went in and there was about 9 flavors to pick from.
You can also preorder online.
Our favorite was Uber Good- it was a special and it was a German chocolate cake cookie. So fun!

Rosa Mexicano in West Haven
We loved it here. I went with girlfriends for apps and drinks and then again for dinner with my boyfriend and his brother and girlfriend and it’s a lot of fun.
At the bar you can get mini margaritas. I do not drink a lot so these were perfect. I tried a frozen mango and a frozen guava. The mango was my favorite.
The table side guacamole was delicious and so fresh.
The ambiance is really nice. I loved it at night because it was lite up with fluorescent lights. We didn’t wait long but you can make reservations online. The staff was really friendly.

Have You Been To The Place 2 Be…You Gotta Go!
Have you ever been to The Place 2 Be? I have been a couple times now and every time I leave I can’t wait to go back!!
It’s dope!
I had to have the girls check it out after we did the Smash Ave in West Hartford. It’s always so much fun. Lots of laughs. The menu is insane. Really delicious too.
They just opened up a spot in New Haven. Will have to check out that location.
The drinks are so fun and we are still finding mini ducks in our purses.
They don’t take reservations but there is a waitlist so be sure to jump in it an hour before you want to go and check out the wait time. So worth it and fun! Be sure to jump in the tub to take a picture.

Black-Eyed Sally’s in Hartford Live Music
This is such a great spot. Food smelled amazing. I love the art and decor. We came by after dinner to listen to the soul funk band play. Was a lot of fun!
Can’t wait to go back and eat here. It’s right near the capital- which is beautiful at night.
Escape Room in Stamford at the Panic Room
We did this for my Daughter’s Birthday and it was a lot of fun.
We had four of us. We had one hour to get through clues. A lot were numbers. We made it past 8 clues but didn’t finish. I actually discovered the first two…was pretty proud of myself.
I definitely would go back with a bigger group and ask for clues. That’s the key. If you’re stuck just ask for a clue. It helps the process go by fast.
There are different themes to pick from.

Getting Older
It teaches you patience. To not put so much energy into things that you used to stress about.

Are You Doing The In & Out Dance
I was never really the anxious dating type. I was in a 20 year relationship and never was anxious. I was secure I may have not trusted his decisions but didn’t feel it made me insecure. I then became anxious after a post divorce relationship which went bad and kindof stuck with me. That mistrust feeling or unsure. I hated it and I saw so many people doing that. Mostly avoidant men and anxious women or vice versa. I had a friend who I admired because he was so confident and secure in all his relationships. It made me want to be that way again. It could only happen if I was in a relationship with a secure type of person. I am now and it feels so different then the others. So much better. So easy.
Break ties from anything that makes you feel unsure or confused. We can’t allow someone else the power to make us feel like that.

Happy February 1st
It’s the month of love! May your past love teach you what you deserve in your current love. ❤️
Never settle. Love hard. No regrets. I do believe we have many souls mates we meet throughout our lifetime at different moments we needed them and those experiences but real love... That’s something that’s rare.
Pure. Good. Mature. Honest. Happy. Real. Fun. Love.
I wish you that type! That’s the type you don’t have to fight for it just happens. That’s the type that never ends. You grow old together. I hope we have that. I hope you do too. We will never know. Just enjoy the moment!

The Library Wine Bar in Wallingford
This place was delicious. My honey mustard glazed chicken was incredible.
We went with another couple. It’s in a restored library. It’s really big inside and pretty. Cozy. We had burrata and lobster ricotta gnocchi as an appetizer.
They even do a buffet brunch- which I can’t wait to try. I can’t wait to come back.

How Far We Have Come
I have known her for years and then we dated friends and became really close. Once those relationships ended she reached out. It was perfect. She helped me get through some really hard times. We partied and laughed and cried and created some great memories.
We lost touch and reconnected again and this time I look back on who we were years ago to who we are now.
Our relationships now are so stable. We both found two great guys who really are perfect for us. Who make us feel like no one ever had. Heard. Seen. Respected. Valued.
I mean we are fine on our own. That was one thing we truly learned but to meet nice men who love us. That’s icing on the cake.
We randomly text words of affirmation and she’s not like anyone I ever met. She’s unique. Special. A ray of sunshine.
This picture was from three years ago and popped up as a memory. When we were two girls just trying to find ourselves, love and happiness. Embrace life and everything that was coming at us. Mend our broken hearts. I wish we could tell those girls life is just going to get better. Glad it did!
❤️
Never underestimate the value of anyone in your life.
Smash Ave in West Hartford- Give Me Something To Break
This was so much fun!! So fun that we are doing it again this weekend but this time I am taking my boyfriend.
I have had my share of unbury to heal and self healing and getting closure but this experience was amazing. You just break stuff. Literally. You’re in a room. You have tools. You just smash away.
We had a speaker going with our songs and we went to town.
Much better than any therapy I ever had!
Our friend got it for our birthday last year and we finally went. I suggest boots to wear since things you smash you step on.
We even smashed a TV. You gotta go!
Tubing and Dinner In An Igloo At Powder Ridge
What a fun time we had. Every year we take our kids tubing. It’s our Family tradition. This year we rented an igloo to have dinner after and it was a hit!
We did tubing for a couple of hours and walked over to the restaurant Fire at the Ridge. Our igloo had couches and a heater.
Kids asked if we can add the igloo to our yearly tradition! I agree with them. It’s a great idea!

Back 9 Social: Virtual Golf Course
Virtual Golf…I must say I wasn’t good but it was a lot of fun.
We were suppose to go back in November for my Boyfriend’s birthday with his Best friend and wife but had to reschedule due to Covid.
It’s really a cool activity to do. You get your own area with bar stools and can order food and drinks.
You can pick short games to play or a real golf game. After we played darts.
We are going again next month to one in Fairfield CT at Golf Lounge 18.
Have you ever been to an indoor golf course?

Sit With Things Before You React
I love listening to the Angry Therapist. On his recent post he talks about lessons he wish he knew when younger. A lot I already knew but he said one thing that stood out. Sit with things before reacting.
Ironically this picture then popped up on my phone as a memory. It was a trip we took kids to Vermont in 2021. This was on top of Killington Mountain.
Sit with things before reacting!
I have come a long way in my journey of life and this is still one I have yet to conquer.
I don’t hold on to stuff. BUT when I am upset in the moment I have to talk about it and at times I come off strong. If I don’t discuss it I create scenarios in my head and it’s worse. I have to learn to sort it out alone first. Realistically. Because I already have the control to let go of it fast after we discuss things but in the moment I could explode inside even I don’t discuss it.
“Try to understand before being understood.” It’s not easy! But I know it’s something I myself have to work on.
How do you react to things? What would YOU tell your younger self?

Girls Night…Fairfield CT
I always loved Fairfield. So many fun restaurants and places to go. So last night had a girls night with my three and we went to Mecha and Crumbl for dessert
We love Crumbl because they always have weekly flavors. They are really sweet and rich so we cut them up so they can try them.

Just Be
I saw this by artist Amy Charlette. It’s a representation of just being. Being what you need in this moment, in your life.
We always feel we should be doing more, but we burn out.
I woke up burnt out. Thank goodness it’s Friday but looking forward to hanging in with my kids this weekend and just not rushing to be doing things.
Just be… everything else can wait!
