Nothing prepares you for the fun of Fall like Apple Picking. It was tough this year where to decide to go since we have been to a ton of Orchards but we wanted to try someplace new and had no regretss Blue Jay Orchards in a Bethel was perfect! No big hills. Delicious apples, gala was our favorite. You walk across the street and they have a scenic hayride $4 a person or go in their store and pick up your pies, Apple cider and of course cider donuts. The market is filled with amazing goodies and pretty big too. So you get a small bag for $20 or large bag for $40. I know sounds expensive but we picked a ton of apples and it's a day out. Love creating these memories with my family. My father wants to go back in a couple weeks when his Macouns will be available to pick.

Best Food Truck Bacon Egg & Cheese by Eggz Kitchen
Every once in a while I crave a Bacon Egg & Cheese. Problem with this craving is it won't go away until I eat a really good one. So I am walking around the Westport Farmers Market yesterday and make eye contact with another mom who I spot has a Bacon egg and cheese resting on her stroller and it looks amazing. She says to me where did you get your cup of flavored water, I respond I won't tell until you tell me where you got that bacon egg and cheese. We laugh and I point her to The Stand that sells $3 bottles of water infused with lemons,basil, fruit, super amazing and always my first stop on Thursdays at the market. She points me to the direction of the food truck, which going forward on Thursdays my second stop will be the Eggz food truck. The cool thing about their website is you can track where the food truck will be so if you can't wait a week to order again you can just see where they will be http://www.eggzkitchen.com/

Freezing Moo In Fairfield CT
We finally brought the kids and it was awesome. You pick your flavor ice cream. They pour the liquid on a cold, round, steel dish and smash it around. You say what syrup you want inside. They make a cute cartoon on it then they use a sharp blade knife and push it up to create a roll. You get to pick three toppings. Keep in mind Oreo topping isn't crushed Oreos. It's a Oreo cookie. The marshmallow they use a storching fire device to roast it. This place is delicious. Our favorite was the chocolate ice cream. So so fun! Learn More Here: http://freezing-moo.business.site/

Car Show...Close To Home
I grew up around cars so it really has to be something pretty awesome to get a "wow" out of me. My parents own an auto body shop so ever since I could remember my dad would bring home really cool cars. He bought three antiques and gave each of his daughters one I ended up painting mine Susan Komen Pink. It's pretty cool. People have rang my doorbell and said they wanted to buy it for their daughters. But it's not for sale. So today we are at a Picnic of a vendor of my dad's and they are having a car show near by. My Pop comes up to me and says "let's go for a walk, I want you to see the car I painted" Car is valued close to 100k. Now was it amazing yes, but seeing the look in my dad's eyes made it even more amazing.
Happy Grandparents Day!!
My girls are very fortunate and we are grateful to have two sets of awesome grandparents in their lives. Always willing to help or hang or fill them up with kisses and love. Wishing them and all the amazing grandparents an awesome day!

Slice Of Saugatuck 2017 Westport CT
What an awesome event! It was a last minute decision to check it out and we can't wait to go again next year. So you pay an entrance fee and you get to walk around and taste some amazing places. Meantime there is entertainment for the kids, fire station had them check out fire safety house, ride the truck. Bounce houses in different areas. A balloon character person
You get to taste one place each with your "Passport" ticket. You walk around and hand in your card and they mark it off and you taste whatever the restaurant is offering. Viva Zapata gave fish tacos, Match Lobster Burgers handed out truffle fries-real truffle not oil, Saugatuck Sweets gave vanilla and chocolate ice cream. My favorite was Kawa Ni, they handed out Heirloon Tomato Pockets. Amazing. Donut Crazy- delicious donuts- Cookie Monster, red velvet with fudge and brownies on top. We had a party of five so got five things everywhere we went. It was awesome. I was so full. We hit off 14 spots. Must say I spent $22 for a day of fun, good eats and great memories. Can't wait to go back to the new places and check out their full menu.

Mothered Out...Is It Friday Yet?
This is so me. Is it Friday yet? Friday nights are my nights, why?! Because I do the mothering every day of the week and need a "me" night. Doesn't mean always going out, sometimes it's just coffee alone or with friends. Sometimes it's chick flicks on my sister's couch. Sometimes it's running errands alone. Regardless, we all deserve, earn, need, ME time. Do you grant yourself yours?

Pray For Texas
It's Monday and well besides my Mom, not really sure who else loves Mondays and is eager to jump out of bed to start the day. I felt guilty this morning waking up in a warm bed in a dry house and seeing images of people in Texas literally getting around their neighborhood in a boat, while hating it's Monday. Just awful and when it comes to Mother Nature you just can't predict how bad it will be I have spoken to people in Texas before the storm hit and one lady told me her friends in the bad areas refused to leave, nowadays you can't help but wonder: how they are, how they should of listened and left and how now emergency personnel are risking their lives to help others. But again, could you get up and leave all your belongings, just an awful decision to make.
Thinking of you all in Texas and hope you are all safe!

Hey Stamford Food Festival 2017
What an awesome event! The park is huge and you don't feel like it's crowded. The food truck line up was insanely delicious from the Fat Elvis donut from the awesome Donut Crazy to an awesome combo of arugal/vodka sauce topped with prosciutto pizza from Dough Girls, and the best taco
I ever had from Hapa Food Truck. Drewba Q cup of goodness- pulled chicken, cornbread, mac and cheese topped with cole slaw was amazing and Pito Sofrito fries topped with sauces cheese and pulled pork was an unforgettable combo. Even the Peach Beer added a nice touch with the delicious eats. We had an awesome day- sisters day out and can't wait to do it again next year!

Happy Clean Scans For Me...
Every 6 months I go to Hammers Imaging in New Haven for neck ultrasounds. It's kind of frustrating driving 45 mins to get there and back for a 15 minute scan BUT Hammers Imaging in New Haven is probably the best ultrasound place I have ever been to and well when it comes to your health it is worth the drive, so after a clean scan I decide to treat myself and pick up what may be the best reward ever Maple Bacon Donut from Donut Crazy! Cheers to my almost 5 year Mark!

Saying Goodby After 16 Years...Rest In Peace Sweet Pup
She really was the coolest dog I have ever met, she was friendly and spunky and super sweet. She would cuddle on me whenever I would lay on the couch, she slept near my chair as I worked. She was special. She was born on 9-11-01 and would shake at any firework, or loud noise. She was truly an awesome dog and today we had to say goodbye to her. She went quick and we knew it would happen. She kissed us and as she was leaving us a nurse in the hall way said to another owner "Sammy is here" that was the name of our other dog who passed last December, at that moment I knew our Sammy was there by her side too.

Playland 2017...Family Tradition
Last year I took my little ones to Playland with my parents and I could not believe how nice & clean it was, so we did it again this year with everyone and are planning to add this to our "Summer Family Traditions". Here's the best part about this place: you pay to get in and then rides are unlimited. It's the most cost effective, fun way to do any carnival, festival with your kids. If not you have to have them pick a couple rides. Go back buy more riding tickets etc... and every time we go we find awesome coupons. Admission for adults is $30 for non residents. $20 for juniors and kids 2 and under ride for free as long as with an adult. Also they can only go on certain rides. Below are $5 off adult and junior tickets. We were able to use an adult and junior together.

Solar Eclipse Do It Yourself Goggles
Tomorrow's solar eclipse is estimated to be around 2:44 pm eastern time in New York. I saw this link on how to make your own goggles and tested them out this morning with the kids. It is really easy to make and quiet clever. We took them outside to test out and it's like a projector inside the box.
