Friday Night Dinner Alicia and Megan!
Hey everyone, how are you all? It’s been a busy weekend lately with all the family getting ready and packing for a trip. We’re going to Aruba for the kids’ winter break (our first trip), so naturally it’s been hectic getting everything and everyone ready for the trip.
This process includes nails, pedicures, spray tans, cutting Nate’s hair, trimming my own hair, last minute Amazon orders, making sure everyone is dressed for the holidays, laundry, laser hair removal appointments, packing, the list goes on. I know some of you are reading this and thinking, “Why would I subject myself to that torture?” I know it sounds chaotic, and it is. It’s all part of the fun process, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Some may call me a pain, and I say, “I don’t think so.”
Last Friday, I met up with some OG blogger friends. (Picture above), Alicia and MeganWe met when we were just starting our blogs, way before Instagram was a thing, and had lots of fun catching up over some great drinks and food. Bar bet It was great at Carroll Gardens and I would definitely go back with Keith.
