Kentucky Derby 150
It was a gorgeous- albeit a little wet on Friday and a little hot on Saturday- weekend in Louisville. I am thankful for mostly beautiful weather and two great days of racing. This weekend marked a big milestone, as it was the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby. The KY Derby has been held on the first Saturday of May very year since its inaugural event in 1875 with the exception of two years: in 1947 it was held in June due to the end of WWII, and in 2020 it was pushed to September due to COVID. There are so many special elements about the derby; I personally love…

Mitten Memories: Fall Break Dump 2023
We had the best little getaway in Michigan last week. Lake had the honor of being the ring bearer in Keegan and Sabrina’s wedding. He did SUCH a good job and was sooooooo excited to wear his tux. Roan and Lake both danced the night away at the reception! We got to Petoskey a little early, so we ventured out to a light house and Lake was very interested in learning about buoys. We spent one night in Mackinaw City and another in Charlevoix, before heading over to Mackinac Island for a quick visit on our last day. Roan was obsessed with the “Neigh Neighs” on the island and both…

Momma and Me Matching Style
Roan and I are in our matching era and I hope it never ends! I loved matching Roany in our Ivy City Co. dresses last week. We had the pleasure of attending a wedding (where Lake served as ring bearer!) and these pretty dresses were perfect. PLUS these beauties are now on Final Sale so they are majorly discounted! Women’s ran TTS, but we sized down on Roan’s; it ran large. See links to both dresses below.

Roan’s Prime Time Diner
Every trip to Disney World, we eat at the 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios. The restaurant is a replica of a classic 50’s home, complete with Formica countertops, milkshakes, and your cousin or uncle serving as your waiter or waitress. Your server will instruct you to keep your elbows off the table and you’ll enjoy comfort food while watching 50’s clips on the black and white tv’s. I thought it would be fun to pay homage to our traditional food stop at the most magical place on earth (and to us) but with our own spin on it, so Roan’s second birthday party theme was “Roan’s Prime Time…
