Mother's Day 2018: One For the Books

This Mother' Day was one for the books! It was such fun and very special from start to finish. Friday night Adelaide & I enjoyed a cooking class at Abigail Academy. And while my little daughter was a straight diva, we still loved spending time together and cooking delicious turkey burgers and black bean corn salsa. 

 

Saturday we swam at my parent's house celebrating Bishop's first communion. The kids had a blast and it was fun to enjoy summer temperatures! Then Ryan & I had a nice date night out at HCC for the Couples' Nine & Dine. It was Doce de Mayo themed and the details were on point. The golfing wasn't too bad either!

 

 

 

  

Sunday we hosted brunch at our house. Food was delicious. Company was even better. And Ryan made sure to order a flower arrangement for each mother. It was a really sweet surprise! 

Hoping your Mother's Day was extra sweet!

Festivities in the Bluegrass: Derby 2018

This year, we enjoyed some new Derby festivities! Being back in KY for this time of year has brought so much fun for the kids and I! Last year we did it up big time adult-style with our NY friends. Hitting up a bourbon tour and the Kentucky Derby.

This year schedules were crazy so we decided to enjoy the more kid-friendly activities. I took Adelaide & Aspen to Thunder Over Louisville courtesy of BB&T. The air show and fireworks were a huge hit!
 

We also got up early to see the Charity Balloon Race out of Bowman Field. With donuts in hand, the kids loved watching the sunrise as the balloons lifted off. It was a perfect little Thursday morning to see the excitement in their eyes!

In a last minute decision, Ryan & I decided to have an early morning date to Dawn at the Downs. It was breathtaking to see the sun rise, the track, and beautiful horses collide all at once.

I look forward to exploring new Derby events each year with the kids. It brings back memories of my childhood that I long forgot about. Being a Louisvillian is even more fun this time of year!
