Mom-ing...


 
Ever since I was a little girl I knew that I would have a daughter. I also thought that I would be a stay at home mom and be able to attend every book fair, celebration, and performance that would be held during the school day. Well, life didn't quite turn out that way and as it turns out I am a working Mom- which is good because I don't think I would be a a good SAHM and I give So Much credit to those who are! Anyway, as you would assume I do not make it to every school event because... I am at work.
Well, this doesn't always fly well with Charlotte, my First Grader, and every time there is any type of parent invited gathering at school- from the Thanksgiving feast to field day we end up having the same conversation about why I can't be there and although she totally "gets" that I am at MY School with my students we still both feel "yucky" about the fact that I am unable to attend. (luckily I have Awesome Mommy friends who always hang with my girl and send me the best photos of her having a great time!)
So, when Charlotte came home talking about the "Mystery Readers" that were visiting her classroom- and when I say "talking about" I mean EVERY night she was crying and asking me IF I was ever going to be the mystery reader...Every Night! I Knew that this was IT- This I could do!! So, I tricked her into picking a book, grabbed myself a box of Oreos- because Oreos are technically vegan so ALL kids can eat them- and off to East Quogue School I went.
You Guys, I had NO Idea how magical this event was going to be. When I was announced by her teacher (The Awesome Mrs. Bellucci) and walked into the classroom all of the kids were sitting on the rug, Char was in the back and she came running over to me hugged me and ...started crying- and guess what I did- YUP, you guessed it- I started crying. Obviously we both got ourselves together, kind of...and Char sat next to me as I read he book "Oh, The Places You'll go," by Dr Seuss to a bunch of First Graders- they were the BEST audience! They all listened so well and asked the BEST questions and Charlotte was SO proud! Then we all had Oreos and Char left with me. She was so excited and told her teacher and classmates that this was "The Best Day Ever!"
You See, even though I always knew that I was going to be a Mom to a daughter and I knew how much I was going to love her- or at least I knew I was going to love her A LOT- I had no idea how incredible that Love was going to be and I had NO Idea how much she was going to love me. I am so FAR from the perfect parent, but as far as Charlotte is concerned I am "The BEST Mama in the whole wide world" and that means the Everything to me!

New Year Refresh

I t’s that time of year when the holidays are over our holiday Decor is put away, hopefully! Your home is clean & quiet & let’s face it- we’re stuck in the house right now due various reasons. So, it’s a great time to reevaluate and refresh. I find that if I don’t go through my things, refresh and get rid of things that I don’t need or use; think those fancy underwear that you bought that were so uncomfortable that you never wore them!  That being said- Let’s get rid of the clutter and keep the things that we feel our best in! If we learned anything in 2020 it was to live our best lives. I like to take the end of January/beginning of February as a time to go through my things. I start with the most important; my “intimates”… Meaning bras underwear pajamas and of course my robe! This week at Smooth Styling with Corinne we are going to explore all of these!

What's in My Closet...???

  I have been thinking deeply about how the "staples" of our wardrobes have changed in this past year; as most things have. It is always fun and absolutely necessary to add new trends and have fun with color, texture & pattern within our wardrobe; however, it is essential that we have a foundation for these exciting pieces to be a part of. Think of a new house- the fixtures; like the kitchen cabinets and the bathroom tile are so important as a way to show the homeowner's style & personality. However, you can't have those beautiful "add ons" without the foundation of the house in place.  The "staples" of your wardrobe are the foundation, just like the house, and the fixtures are "add ons," they add character, personality, spice! Wardrobe staples used to be boring-  Black slacks, a white button down shirt, a black shoe They have always slightly differed & evolved with the times- but 2020 definitely pushed us into a whole new wor
