Hey Guys and Gals!

I want to give a special shout out to all of my fellow Americans on this very special day. Most of you know that today is July 4. But, what some of you may not be aware of is that today is The United States of America’s Independence Day. We Americans most commonly refer to this day as, “The 4th of July” or simply just, “The 4th.” Everyone here knows exactly what you are referring to if you say that. I won’t go any deeper into the history of this date; I’ll leave that for those history buffs and bloggers out there. But, what I would like to do, is invite you in to learn a little more about me and my own history. My story allows to me to say that, while I was not born in this country, I am most certainly a representation of who “We the People” are.

Let me give you the fast track version…

Ding! Dong! [The door bell rings.] “CRAP! The baby sitter is here already? But I barely even finished homework with the kids!” I look down and per usual I am still in my workout clothes from 6:30 am this morning. Goodness gracious, I need to be out the door in 15 minutes and still have yet to even think about what I am wearing… ugh.

Well Hello Everyone! I trust you are all doing wonderfully. Today I wanted to talk about a reoccurring situation in my life and that is how I pull myself together in a matter of minutes, transitioning from that tiring and not always glamorous mama duty to fun and carefree nightlife chic. Here are the steps I can offer on how I make it work when the realities of motherhood and my social escapes are at odds! Feel free to implement any, all or none of these into your routines. But no matter what, just have fun!

Happy Monday from not so far away! While I am always ready to jet set (never soon enough), I had an amazing local weekend here in Philadelphia enjoying summer sun, happy hour cocktails over looking the city line and celebrating my love on his special day… Father’s day! — Oh and U2 in concert last night — But I digress… Staycations are always welcomed by this non-stop mama! With beach days upon us though, I wanted to highlight one of my fave summer dresses for you. The Antigua Mini Dress by Free People.
