Bowling and Bocce at Pinstripes
I love when spontaneous plans come together. That’s been my life lately and I love the groups of friends I have available for it.
I said to a friend be ready at 5 she says great and another buddy of ours is coming too. Perfect. The more the merrier is how I feel. I grab them and say Chinese for dinner then coffee and drinks and bowling at the Mall.
How great to be able to say that and everything is in Norwalk! I love the Sono Collection. I really think it’s so pretty. I love getting coffee at Nordstroms and walking around.
After we grabbed coffee we went upstairs to Pinstripes and it’s so cool inside. I have seen it a couple of times briefly but this time we went in and walked around. It’s huge and beautiful. There are bocce courts and bowling lanes. We hung out in the bowling area and ordered drinks. I loved the Old Fashioned because you just need one. It’s a great casual drink to sip on. The vibe in this place is so fun.
I can’t wait to take the kids to go bowling this weekend. It’s big and clean and bright.
After I hung out with a friend in Milford. He couldn’t believe they had bocce inside the Mall too. Such a cool place and I love it’s right in our town.
You totally need to go grab dinner and have some fun here!
Adult Fun Finds At A Taste Of Fairfield
There were plenty of fun treats for the Adults at the Taste of Fairfield. I loved the sampling of margaritas and mojitos, wine and beer. I am only a social drinker so these sampling sizes were perfect. But then there were these Prosecco filled metallic chocolates that when you bit into it there was a burst of Prosecco.
My favorite were the baileys cupcakes and baileys ice cream station.
It was perfect for the kids and adults. The kids had all these toppings to choose from and the adults got to add a shot of baileys. I chose chocolate ice cream with salted caramel baileys. Yeah it was amazing.
We All Have The Same Needs
We all want love, safety and understanding. We just have to get through some trials before finding it.

Air Workshop Fairfield
I loved this craft set up at a Taste of Fairfield. It was perfect for the kids. They picked what color block they wanted and what stencil. Then a worker put on primer and the kids got to pick what colors they wanted to paint. After you peel of stencil and it looked so nice!
I love to paint. I always found it to be therapeutic. I would paint sunsets or portraits of people. When I want to destress I sketch. I always say I want to setup an art room in my house. Where crafting and painting and being creative is open and accepted and welcomed.
I can’t wait to check this place out. https://www.arworkshop.com/fairfield/
Cherish The People Who Choose You
What a week it’s been. Grateful I got to see a lot of my favorite people. I love this. It’s true. Someone choosing you means they want to invest their time in you. Whether it’s family or friends or a companion. Respect your time with them. They are giving up their time to be with you. Nothing says love like that. Nothing says you matter to me like that. Time. ❤️
Artisan L’escale Winter Vegetable Chowder
Hands down this was my favorite at the Taste of Fairfield. It was creamy and delicious and they added roasted veggies that were crunchy on top. I even went back for more.
I would so go to their restaurant. I have to been to the one in Greenwich. Delicious and worth the experience.
Taste of Fairfield Awesome Fun Eats
What an awesome event. We went with the whole family. The kids loved it. They had crafts and bowling and a cartoonist.
So many awesome eats. Great variety and huge portions.
My daughters favorites was braised short ribs and the lobster bisque.
My favorite I will do separate posts. But I will tell you I bowled three strikes and was so much fun. The place was huge and clean the kids had a blast. We can’t wait to go again next year.
Go Through The Steps To Achieve Happiness
You have to go through the channels. You can’t skip a step. You have to heal. It’s a slow process but it’s amazing after. You have a sense of peace and then are happy. Naturally happy.
There’s still going to be people and situations that try to bring you down. Control you or manipulate you. Some may trigger to get a rise out of you. Don’t do it. When you have healed you automatically won’t react. You say what you need to say and let go of the stress after. It’s a process not easy but worth it.

Who Would You Be?
Love this! We all have this side to us that we want to shelter from the world. But why? Why not be you? Fully, 100%, unapologetic, you!
Food Bazaar in Bridgeport CT
Wow!
It’s huge. It reminds me of Bon Giorno. It had a ton of authentic food. Especially Asian and Spanish. I was sort in Heaven. They even have a polish section and it reminded me of this polish store I would go to in Norwalk.
The types of herbs and roots they had were insane. They had fruit I never seen but have heard of. They had a huge fish department. They had blood clams- bet you never heard of it. Because I never have either. I looked it up and it does have a red liquid inside. Crazy right.
I of course was on a mission to find dulce de leche I had as a kid. We would spread arequipe- on a special wafer called Obleas. It’s a Colombian wafer.
I found the little containers but they didn’t carry the wafers. I will still order them to get the full effect.
Crazy how food can bring back so many memories. My mom looked at me and said you had to have been from South America or Asia in your past life. She’s right. I love this stuff.
They had a ton of fun stuff.
Dragon fruit
Good luck plant “money tree”
Even fun variations of Nutella mixed with fruity flavors.
Dance To The Beats Of Your Life
I love dancing. It frees me. It helps release all the stress in my life. In the moment nothing at all matters. Maybe that’s why I play music a lot. It tunes out any static or noise around me. It helps me escape situations. It’s not distracting it actually helps me focus. It helps calm me.
