Celebrating 2 Years

I love him because we have so much fun. We really do. There’s so many great things to do and see and experience and experience is always what we seek. 

Cava in Southington is awesome and a great experience!! We had dinner in the Wizard Room. Honey, fig ricotta as an appetizer, he got stuffed shrimp and I got lobster ravioli. I got the “Love Potion” drink. So fun. It comes with dry ice on the bottom and you get a Smokey effect. 

Dessert was hard to decide on. They bring out a tray to pick from and we ended up with Lemoncello cake. Really good. After was rooftop drinks. 

It was awesome.

We ended our anniversary weekend watching the new Thor movie and me enjoying the perfect flowers he got me.

2 Years…What An Adventure

What a great adventure these last two years have been. 

You name it we have tried it and if we haven’t tried it then it is on our list to do. 

We have so much fun together. 

The first year was about him and I. The second year was about us. 

Two years together. 8 states. Endless laughs. So many adventures. I could love him forever because he makes me feel safe, loved, heard, seen. He makes me laugh everyday. He loves me and my girls. 

Anything I ask to do he says yes. Anything I want to try he’s front and center. 

He’s really perfect for me. Truly! 

I can’t wait for the adventures we have ahead of us. I can’t wait to create more memories with him. I feel so lucky I get to love him forever.

Focus on Being Happy

Williamsburg Virginia

I remember as a kid going to Amish Town in Pennsylvania. I remember wondering why my mom made us come here and guess what I always reference back to it because we learned so much. 

So on our way home from our trip I wanted us to check out Colonial Williamsburg. 

So much history. 

It was a hot day so kids got tired fast but we walked around and learned a lot. We saw the old capital building. We saw how court houses were set up by the King of Britain. We saw how they made clothes- 10 hours by hand to stitch a dress. 

My oldest appreciated it because she learned about it in school. 

Was a good experience. I wouldn’t go back but glad we did go. 

We Don’t Have It All Figured Out

Life is about the ups and downs. Just keep doing what you can to be happy!

Happy 4th of July

Fireworks. Pool time, cornhole and lots of food.  I hope you had a great 4th of July! 🇺🇸

Summer Dos

The other day my oldest asked me when we can go for haircuts. Today I said. I called our hairdresser and luckily she squeezed us in. 

I used to be particular with their haircuts. Now I realize it’s just hair and will grow back so I said pick what you like. 

They actually came out really adorable. My youngest went the shortest and very bold of her. She’s always a fashionista. 

Luckily they all loved how it came out. 

OH Connecticut How We Love You

I was in Williamsburg Virginia and saying to my boyfriend and the kids how it reminded me of Georgia when a woman walking by heard me and said she was from Georgia. We started talking and she said she was driving through Connecticut and asked us where she should go. 

Automatically I said Mystic. It has cute shops and history. The aquarium and seaport are entertaining. There’s even a Vineyard and you can kayak the Mystic River. Mystic Pizza is a fun spot. 

Later that night my boyfriend and I were talking about Connecticut and starting listing off what else we could have suggested. 

The casinos. Maritime Center. Stepping stones. The water falls. Etc….

This article definitely should be added. How many of these places have you visited?

Here are 11 Things You Should Do In Connecticut This Summer

Still smiling….

Happy First Day of Summer!!

Washington D.C Great Experience For The Kids

I remember coming as a kid and loving it. At the time maybe it was a bit much. I believe I was 9. Same age as my middle one. I always wanted to bring my girls. 

A friend told me you can write  to our congressman Jim Himes and request tours. The tours are free. We were able to get a tour of the Capital. 

It’s gorgeous. It’s hard and sad to believe last January what took place here. It was great for the kids to see a piece of history. 

We walked into this room and I got flashbacks. 

I remembered  coming as a kid. Was so beautiful. I hope the girls appreciate the time we spent. We want to come back for a longer weekend so we can do more tours. 

Happy Father’s Day

To all the great men out there especially my Pop who has always been there for me and a great and fun Nonno to my girls and to my boyfriend for being so great to my girls. 

Grateful for these men!! 

We Are Off…On Our Road Trip

Been waiting for this day. To get up early and hit the road. First overnight stop Washington D.C. How I love D.C. we have a tour at the Capital. The goal is making stops along the way. Overnights in Myrtle Beach and Williamsburg VA. Then Delaware and back home. 

I told everyone if this works out 2024 will be the Mid-West road trip. 

My lifetime goal is to go to every state. Even though I have been to all of these it’s great for my kids to experience. They can’t wait. 

Fingers crossed this goes as planned!!

Sacrifice to Get What You Want

It’s been a busy couple of weeks and as things die down I get to process them. 

I found myself crying. Not for sadness but for relief. Everything started to hit me. 

I made a lot of life changes the last five years. A lot and every time I kept going I said it was to make me

Happy. To give my kids a happy and safe home. I always knew one day I would see the sacrifice. That it all would be worth it. One day came. It hit me in the face. It struck at my heart and I felt the emotions. 

The sacrifice showed as everyone I spoke to praised my kids. As my oldest stood up infront of hundreds of people. 

Did they create their success. 100%. Did my sacrifice contribute to it. 100%. 

My story isn’t to brag or to give me credit. My story is to tell you that making the right decisions for your kids and family never goes unnoticed. When you’re in it you think what am I doing and am I doing the right thing. I must say I never ever looked back only forward. I fought a fight that I am still fighting just so my kids can be happy and see me happy and safe and good. Your fight will always be rewarded. Never ever doubt that!

One More Day Until The Memories Start

Oh road trip…here we come!

She’s Off…To Great Things

She’s off to high school. Last night she won the Scholar Leader Award at her graduation. Three kids out of 245 received it. I couldn’t believe it. It’s so surreal as a parent. You sacrifice so much to make sure they are good, happy people and when she gets announced in front  of hundreds of people you think omg that’s my kid. Such a honor to be her mom. So worth every sacrifice I ever made. 

I have a feeling she’s going to do big things one day! BIG ❤️

It’s Ok To Brag…Right?

She received four awards yesterday including the President’s Education Award. 

Where did she come from??

She graduates middle school today. I can’t believe I will have a kid in high school. But I am so so excited to see what she will do. Who she will be and the amazing opportunities she will have. 

How did I get so lucky?

Ms. Smarty Pants

She’s going into Highschool. HIGHSCHOOL. How do I have a daughter who will be in Highschool?

Last week she got her award and there was a ceremony for her getting into the National Junior Honor Society and I could not have been more prouder. 

I hope she never changes. I hope she continues to be who she wants to be. 

Past Pain…It’s Your Responsibility to Heal

Unburying. A process where everything you suppressed gets exposed. Dig it up. Feel. Heal. 

I wanted to return to being happy and honestly not giving a crap about a lot of things. I wanted to go back to being carefree and not let things absorb my energy. 

I am working on that. Are you working on your crap?
