Why we celebrate April Birthdays all month long (in my family)

This is one of the multiple birthday cakes at the event. Happy Birthday Month to myself and seven family members. What do I mean? We’re celebrating all these birthdays: My Birthday (local) My Brother’s (local) His Wife’s (local) Darren’s (local) Darren’s Sister #1 Darren’s Sister #2 Darren’s Sister #3 Darren’s Niece Whew.

A #SocialLadies Brunch @PortosBakery

Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting up with some Social Ladies of SoCal. Only a few were available to meet-up, and we had Porto’s Bakery desserts on our brains. They have locations in Burbank, Glendale and Downey. We tried to meet-up somewhere in the middle so decided on Downey location. Where is our OC location, Porto’s?

Mom Time @CornerBakery @OutletsatOrange

I think you all know I heart my support group of Moms. It’s really hard to get together, because everyone is always so busy, but we make an honest effort every month or so. We always miss the ones that can’t make it. (Here are only a few that were available in the middle of the week.) A support group can be with whomever you want: preferably people with the same interest, have positive energy, nonjudgmental, brings you up when you’re down, helps you figure things out, and well – supportive. I belong to more than one, and I like mine, because we can talk about whatever. I also like … READ MORE >>
