Headed to My Old KY Home

I am super, super excited to head back home today! I love going back home and visiting KY. Work is bringing me to town but I'll fit in a little play time too ;) And the best part of this upcoming flight- it's direct... thank you Allegiant Airlines! I am forever grateful for no layovers! 

I so enjoy staying and seeing my family and visiting all my spots that only KY can offer! I literally plan my days around all of my favorite restaurants... so sad but so true! 

I of course will miss the hubby and our pups since I'll be gone for a whole week but I'm traveling back  next month and B gets to tag along that trip.  

Stacks of clothes are waiting to be packed and a load of laundry awaits me downstairs- packing is definitely not the fun part of traveling! 

Here I come My Old KY Home- I've missed you!

Have a great day and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Back to Reality...

At this time last week I was boarding a plane to head to Disney to meet up with my sis, my mom, and the rest of the LHS dance team. I've been back in KY since Monday and I just now feel like I'm caught up on my sleep! It was a long, tiring trip but between a scratched cornea

(my sis) and 5:00 am wake up calls, we made it ;)

PS... can I please be a Disney Princess?!?! I was kind of bummed that I wasn't able to see my fav, Ariel :(

After flying back to KY on Monday, the rest of the day was spent running errands. I was absolutely worthless on Tuesday and yesterday was full of work and squeezing in a much needed blonde appointment!

Today starts a crazy 10 days of a couple choreography jobs. I'm super excited to be back in a studio and to be working with some pretty talented kiddos!

Okay... back to work now! Have a great day ladies!

Playing Catch Up...

Hey y'all!!

I have been M.I.A for quite for a few days. I just got back last Thursday from a week in my good, ole, Kentucky home :) Work took me there but I was able to spend lots of time with my family as well and it was GREAT!!

AS much as I loved being in KY and seeing friends and family, it was nice to get back to Connecticut and see my hubby :) Missed him lots while I was gone. I flew in late Thursday night and was looking forward to a fun weekend together.

Friday was a lazy day... I got absolutely nothing done other than some reading and catching up on my sleep. I was super busy while I was in KY and I think I can count on one hand how much sleep I got while I was home! Friday night was definitely a relaxed evening with B... it consisted of Chinese takeout and movies on the couch. Perfection!

We were planning on getting up early Saturday morning and heading into NYC but it was rainy and yucky so we decided to stay around New Haven instead. We woke up early and had a breakfast date and then did a little shopping. I found some new finds this weekend that I am really excited about:

Love these earring from Anthropologie. I love them! I also found a cute shirt in the "sale"section but I didn't take a a pic of it...eh...oh well!

I'm loving my new makeup remover from Benefit. I had been using some stuff from NARS but I thought it was a little too oily. Love this stuff and I love the packaging. I know... typical consumer but presentation is everything ;)

However... I do love my new foundation from NARS. Not too heavy and a little covers a lot.

Sunday was an AWESOME day!!

B and I went to our first clambake and it was yummy!! Clams, lobster, corn, potatoes, clam chowder, hamburgers, hot dogs,.... it was a great afternoon. The radiology department hosted the event and I'm so glad we went. It was supposed to be rainy that afternoon but the sun was out and it was the perfect way to spend a day by the beach.

I'm super happy to be back home with my hubby and feeling very grateful for our CT life!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and an even Monday :)
