Last night my guys and I had dinner to celebrate middle son’s birthday. His birthday was actually on Monday, but he requested a Tuesday dinner because he felt that he would have more options from which to choose since many places are closed Mondays. This is what happens when you raise foodie kids. We arrived … Continue reading Restaurant Navona

Time is short
I’ve been so busy doing things and going places that I haven’t had a moment to chronicle any of it.

In a hundred ways he reminds me of me, … Continue reading Mythical beast baby
Lola Shine(s) at the Hangar
I’m not exactly certain how it happened, but February flew right by me. I’m cutting myself some slack since it’s a short month filled with 2 Fabulous Lilly Boy birthdays, a major restaurant holiday and a week of vacation, but still…I wish there were a couple of more days to do even more things.
