It's almost Easter weekend!! 

I am so excited, although I prefer it be warm and sunny on Easter, that is not in the cards for us. I am however looking forward to brunch, family time and mimosas!

I went away this past weekend, but Friday before I left I got together with some fabulous blogger friends of mine and visited Happy Place.  

The Happy Place is a pop up interactive exhibit where you are encouraged to 'find your happy'

I had heard mixed reviews from many people. Some who went with young children found it underwhelming, others thought there were endless photo-ops.  

If you are looking to walk through an art installation, you may be disappointed. If you are looking for primo and endless instagrammable moments, then this will indeed be your 'happy place'.  

When you purchase tickets, you reserve a time. This is to spread out the crowds and give every party an allotted time in each room.  As you can imagine five bloggers trying to get perfect photos held up the line a little bit. (insert uncomfortable smiley face emoji)

After you walk though yellow, quilted leather smiley face doors, your adventure begins. Instantly greeted by a smiling staff member serving ramekins filled with yellow and white M&Ms. 

You will move from giant heels & gumball machine rooms, to a lips, rubber duckies and a cookie room all while dancing to you favorite up beat music and treats like cookies and pop corn along the way.  

All in all we had a blast and on average took about 450 photos each. I would be lying if I wasn't concerned about the cleanliness of the ball pits and confetti dome, but I put my germaphobe instincts on hold and enjoyed all of it! 

Have you been to Happy Place?

 If you are in or close to Boston the exhibit is here until June 2.

Find your happy and have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Tuesday Loves! 

How about those Golden Globes?  Usually I like to see most, if not all of the nominated movies but this year I saw exactly zero. I did however enjoy tuning in.  I thought all of the women look lovely dressed in black and I loved the message of solidarity it sent to the #metoo movement. 

I watched hours of the red carpet and truth be told, I think it was so I could watch people somewhere enjoying warm weather. 

The weather has been crazy everywhere, and here in the northeast we have been below freezing for 14 days!!  With arctic winds, sub-zero temps and over a foot of snow on the ground there has been little to no opportunity for blog photos.

Here are a few of my favorite picks for realistic snow and cold temperature looks.
Cozy and war can still be very cute!

How are you staying warm?

Happy Tuesday! 

My son has spent time away from me before, with his dad, grandparents, etc, but never with a friend and their family. Last week he went to Maine with his friend's family and I was without him.  I missed that little bugger. With constant photos, updates and FaceTime, I am knew he was having a blast and I go to enjoy a little me time! After Nolan was returned safe and sound (lol), we headed to the beach for the weekend. The Falmouth Road Race always brings my friends, old and new into town, and as always it was so lovely to hang!
