A little self care and a Seafood Grill



Image result for good friends meme\
My good friend Daisy is getting married today and we thought it would be fun to do a little wedding primping before the big day! I met Daisy over the summer and we have quickly become good friends. There is never a dull moment when I hang out with her and I have truly enjoyed getting to know her. We visited a nail salon in Oakbrook for a relaxing mani/pedi session. The bride decided on white nails and I went with a baby pink color!  After our two hour nail appointment we went to Devon to enjoy a delicious meal of lobster bisque soup to start and a seafood mix grill as our main course. By the end of the meal we were full and ready to return home. It was a great evening full of celebration, laughs, a little self care and a seafood grill.

    Congratulations to your friend Daisy! Can't wait to see more of your post. We shared at least two traits: being bilingual *oh well, I try) and being an interventionist ;)

    I love that quote about friends. Something I have lived by my whole life. Most of my friends are people I have known since childhood (pre-school and elementary school), but I love the feeling of connecting with someone later in life so quickly! I hope you have fun at the wedding!

    Cuddling with babies is top of the list, cleaning is at the bottom. You complete the list and made memories. Thanks for sharing. Being a mom and aunt, it brought back fond memories.


    Looking forward to next post.

We made it to Friday...

Made it to Friday, I thought to myself as I opened my eyes to my fourth snooze alarm. It's been a long and busy (in a good way) week at work and home and I am looking forward to day two of our book organization project at school. Made it to Friday,  I say to myself as I get out of bed and become instantly anxious at the thought that I... Made it to Friday... The thought became scary... Scary because tomorrow is Saturday and we are hopping on an airplane to fly to the Bahamas in less than 24 hours. Don't get me wrong, I love Fridays, I love the thought of being in the warm sun, I love the thought of Friday before spring break...but... I hate the thought of flying (even in first class). We made it to Friday, I tell myself, this time in a bummed out way because tomorrow is Saturday and I have to fly. Flying makes me nervous. I am still having trouble deciding which movie I will watch during our 3.5 hour flight. Usually I feel ok once I have a good distracting movie picked out and ...

“You don’t sound like your name is Ana.”

My husband and I have pretty tricky names. Tricky for others to pronounce and even trickier when people try to spell them. We are really spoiled with delicious takeout options  in the area where we live and will oftentimes order in on the weekends. I’m usually the one to place the orders via the phone because I have dietary restrictions (low carb diet). When placing the orders I always tell the person on the phone my name is Ana just to avoid any confusion and it works like a charm. This morning was different. I was up pretty early feeding my niece and my ever so thoughtful husband asked if I wanted some breakfast takeout. We usually never order out for breakfast but today was different. We were too tired to cook. He dials the number to our favorite breakfast spot that’s about two minutes away from home. He places our order and at the end the person on the other line asks him; “what name should I put this order under?” He replies without thinking; “Ana...” We hear a long pause unt...

Gratitude  On this last day of the blogging challenge I woke up feeling grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to participate in this challenge that forces me to find small parts of my day that stick out just enough to write about it. Grateful for waking up on this beautiful island on day two if our spring break vacation. Grateful for all the people I have around me everyday. Grateful for the opportunity I get to sit with the little humans and enhance their already wonderful minds. Grateful for my beautiful little family. And most importantly, grateful for this wonderful life.
