Belly Dance recital

Today I had a great "mommy moment"... I went to see Olivia performing at her first dance recital ever..
She was belly dancing with some of her friends from school at the VPK graduation...
She has been taking lessons for over a year and this is the first time I've seen her in "action"..
She was so happy with her costume and make up and did amazing.. I didn't know she could dance so good.. she really surprised me...
My parents, my niece, Gaby and Iggy were there as well.. we were also so proud... I even cried a little!
Way to go Olivia! A mini Shakira in the making! ;)

Girls night out

Tonight I had my first "girls night out" with some of the moms from Olivia's school and a few others I've met through those moms...
It was 7 of us...we went to Lime Mexican Grill and had a great time talking and eating Mexican food...
It was so great to get out of the house and have some interesting adult interaction...
We were out for almost 3 hours and had an awesome time!
The plan is to do it every Wednesday night.. I hope it happens!
Thanks girls!

Updates!

I know I blog almost every day, but my life is so hectic that I feel like my stories and anecdotes pile up if I don't post them daily! Oh well.. I guess it's fun to have an active life, right??
On Sunday we took the girls bowling.. this is the 2nd time we take them and it was Gaby's first time actually playing.. She really enjoyed pushing the balls down the little ramp.. it was cute to see her..and of course, Olivia loved it too..

...the next day Olivia got sick and we had to take her to urgent care... She has an upper respiratory infection, sinus infection and a bad cough... She also spiked a fever of 103 and I freaked out...she's feeling better today, but will be on antibiotics for the next 10 days! :(

...today we went to play with Olivia's friend Melissa.. they played dress up and had some snacks.. it was fun...

I've been so busy lately... the summer semester is driving me nuts and my diet makes me edgy at times... thankfully I try to keep busy so I don't feel the stress!
These summer months are always so crazy... first it's Father's Day coming up soon, then Iggy's birthday and of course, the girls' birthdays... ahhh!!!

Diana's visit


Today was a nice day! Wonderful weather and an awesome friend visiting from San Francisco
My friend Diana, who I hadn't seen in over two years, came to visit with her daughter Dessiree...
The visit was short but very fun... the girls had a wonderful time together and I was able to catch up with my friend... love, love, love it! ;)

My diet journal...

For the past few days, I've been working on a new blog, which I have titled "The Journey to a skinnier ME!"...
It's a blog about my personal struggle with weight loss and the journey to a skinnier version of myself...it is raw, personal and very intense...
I had second thoughts on whether to make this a "public" struggle or not.. but, I have made the decision to blog about it and have people who are interested read it...
I appreciate all the support I can get... this is tough for me, and I'm sure it will only get harder before it starts to get easy....
Follow the blog if you're interested...

Thank you....

Las Vegas!!!

We got back from Vegas yesterday but I was too exhausted to blog, so this post is a bit delayed...
Our trip was fabulous and super exciting... We visited all the hotels/casinos, did some shopping, ate at wonderful buffets/restaurants and other fun stuff..
We also visited the Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and stayed at an amazing hotel called Aria, it had an amazing pool, bars, night clubs and the rooms were super luxurious! We had such a blast and enjoyed our alone time...
I took so many pictures... you can see them all here and also some scenic pictures here.
