applesauce & hot cococa (3/23)

Late nights are not complete without a quick run to the pantry for applesauce for Kindin & hot cocoa for Jack... snacks highly endorsed by both of their grandmothers. 

birthdays on the boat (2023)

This year, Dalia and Jack wanted to celebrate with their new friend groups on the lake. Dalia's was a little early in the season so tubing was the main attraction to keep everyone on top of the water and warm. Crumbl cookies and a fresh "Rock the boat" playlist featuring hits like Lush Life entertained everyone too.

Jack ended up with a unique mash of whomever was available to celebrate for his summer birthday - including just one girl. But the boys had a great time teasing her endlessly and I stepped in to dole out 'party fouls' to keep the rowdy boys in line - earning the enduring nickname "party mom" from Jack's friends. 

IMDB cred (5/23)

Dalia was invited to be a movie extra for a small production in Mesa. She loved glamming up and playing the part late into the evening hours. Assigned as a red carpet fan, she spent multiple takes cheering and elbowing others for a glimpse of two 7 foot movie stars. The footage later ended up on the cutting room floor but it was such a fun experience to be a part of!
