"People are either a lesson or a blessing in your life" these women are definitely a blessing and my stomach still hurts from laughing so much with them. These are the type of people you hold on to and memories you cherish.

It's Good To Take A Time Out
I went with four of my mommy friends to Cape Cod this weekend for a quick getaway. It was so awesome to take a time out from everyday life and duties and focus on yourself. Bonding with other women makes you look at life in a different light. You see how the things that bother you are so common among other people. When you open up you realize that you aren't alone, that these stresses of life are common being a mom, wife, trying to find what you need to be happy and what you need to deal with certain things in your life.

Go Out and Vote!
I wasn't going to vote. I really wasn't. Then it hit me it's a privelage to vote. Women couldn't vote in the past and I am a mom of three girls. I teach them about equality and rights and no gender rules apply to anything in life. I had to do it for them! So I stopped working, left the house in what I was wearing and voted.
Regardless of who you choose, go out and vote!

Comparing Candidates: Who Will Be Our Next President
Regardless of your views a new president will be chosen this week. Now if you are like my peers you will agree there are many things that we aren't too happy with these candidates. It's almost like picking who ever isn't worse. I know,I know,that is my opinion. But before you vote really take the time and educate yourself on their beliefs and changes they want to make. Below are some good easy polls that tell you what each candidate is in favor of!

Turn Back The Clocks Reality...
This changing the clock mess isn't really fun. See young children do not think "oh let me wake up an hour different" they think "oh wow I used to wake up at 5:30 now will wake up at 4:30". No lie!
We have been up since 4:30. So what does a Mom do while trying to convince the kids to not actually get out of bed? Put on their favorite movies while I online shop. I don't actually purchase. I just look up stores I want to pop in over the week.
Don't laugh you know you do it as well. That "let's see what's on sale online". After 45 minutes you don't want to pay for shipping so you figure you'll stop at the store.
So Happy Sunday All! I envy those who actually got to benefit from the extra hour of sleep as for me; I am hoping they go to bed an extra hour earlier.

Trunk or Treat Fun
I can't believe yesterday was the first time I went to a Trunk or Treat with the kids. Normally I see ones for the night of Halloween and we don't go because I like doing the traditional house to house trick or treating but now I may change my mind.
It's so cool! Cars lined up. Trunks decorated. Kids get candy and move trunk to trunk. It's super entertaining! Our church did one yesterday for the children after mass. My girls loved it.

A Proud Mom's Moment
She's been singing in her choir for a while now and loving it. She's been telling me she wants to cantor- when you stand on the alter and the choir backs you up while singing. Well her church had mass for children grades 1-3. They asked for volunteers to read/do intentions/ bring up gifts.
I emailed the head teacher and told her she could do intentions. I didn't think she would be ready for a reading- standing on the Alter alone. Our church fits hundreds of people. The thought of her standing on stage intimated me, I couldn't imagine how she would feel.
They said since she is choir she couldn't BUT then asked if she could do the opening. This is when mass is quiet. Everyone is sitting still and waiting for the priest and alter servers to walk in. I left the decision to her and she was excited.
I was so nervous. On my way to church I started to feel as if I was the one standing in front of hundreds of people I kept saying I will sit right in front. Just look at me if you get nervous. I didn't share how nervous I was.
Sure enough she goes up. I sneak my camera to video tape it. She rocks it. Like nothing. Piece of cake. She even looks up a couple of times while reading.
She goes back and then puts her choir gown on to sing. I am beaming. As we get ready to go up for the bread I see her from the corner of my eye. She is on stage cantoring infront of hundreds of people. I am speechless.
She will be 8 soon. 8! I haven't achieved half of the stuff she has by this age. She's amazing. I can brag because I never do. My eyes fill up with tears when I see her sing and now she's on the alter leading the choir. She's more than I ever imagined she would be. I am her number one fan and always will be!

Halloween Weekend Fun!
For starters I must say my pumpkin cheese ball came out super cute!
Check out recipe here:http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/pumpkin-cheese-ball-recipe.html
I had no clue what to dress up as. Always running around for others, I always do last minute dressing up for parties. This year I was a spider and it was perfect because I remembered my friend's spider hat would work perfectly with my outfit!
Being older and hitting off Halloween parties means finding something fun yet comfortable.

Little Pub In CT Oh My Oh My
It's been a while since I snuck out to see one of my girlfriends. She just moved out of town and I wanted to meet up with you to give her some maternity clothes. We decided to meet late afternoon for something to eat. She's never been to Little Pub that just opened up in Fairfield. I have been to the one in Norwalk a couple of times and always loved it so when she suggested it I was al for it.
Their sweet potatoe fries are also one of my favorites. Great price for great food and of course everytime I am with these ladies it's a great time.
I suprised her and brought my sister and we had an awesome "Fat Girl Friday" meal. That's our joke of our menu choices. For starters I LOVE their burger salad. A burger on a bed of lettuce with chopped pickles and French fries and thousand island. Umm it's like a Big Mac without the buns. So I knew that's what I would get.
We read over the apps menu and everything looked amazing. When we finally got to decide we went with their version of disco fries: fries with cheese and crunchy bacon topped with chicken gravy. Let me tell you these were over the top amazing!
They have locations throughout Connecticut. Check them out http://www.littlepub.com

Writing this post makes me want them again.
Everything we got was awesome comfort food. I mean after all the best lunch dates are women who are pregnant or pmsing- no holding back comfort food is what you get!
If you have never been then GO!

That's What Friends Are For
My daughter wanted her dad to take her to her harvest dance tonight at her school. He could enjoy a room full of kids running around I thought! So instead of being bitter about not being chosen to go I was a good mom and still had them bring in something for the bake sale.
He sent me a picture of the table and it had my cupcakes for sale for 50 cents less than the others. Of course I text my girlfriends there with their kids a little offended in a childish way. I mean some cupcakes were super cool but mine were still pretty creative. Within minutes my friends text me this picture.
I couldn't help but smile! Having my back
And buying my cupcakes. Love these girls more than they know.
It's always great to have friends who know just want to do to make you smile. Those are the ones you must always hold on to!
