Hey there mommas!! Happy Friday!! Who's excited for Spring Break?! I know, I know. It means basically nothing to adults. A chance to screw up our normal routine and try to figure out how to entertain our kids for a week while they're off school, meanwhile us mommas can't get any real work done!! Am I right?? #momlife.
So it's been a super busy week for me. I had the chance to attend a social media conference in the Plaza District in OKC on Monday and it was really fun! I heard from different business owners and was so inspired by all of the hustlers in this city. There is something that I have noticed about Oklahoma City since we have moved here that I would have never really guessed....no offense Oklahomans. But as a Texas girl, we don't really associate culture with Oklahoma. I'm sorry, but it's true. Texans are kind of biased that way. HOWEVER, I have been SO impressed with all of the culture in Oklahoma City. There is a neat vibe going on with the 20 and 30 year-old something groups here that is so inspiring. There is so much creativity, passion, and dedication to bringing something different to this town. It really is very inspiring. The young professionals here are taking risks and completely unabashedly owning their business with all the confidence of a person twice their age. I'm excited to witness it take place around me and hopefully contribute to the movement as well. I heard a speaker on Monday call it a renaissance and it has stuck with me. Renaissance indeed.
Also this week, my youngest rugrat turned 6 years old. It's hard to believe. He's my momma's boy and luckily he hasn't become too cool for his momma. I dread the day when he is embarrassed by getting kisses from me. He's still going to get them anyway, but I love how much he loves them right now. We got him a harmonica and a guitar for his birthday. My ears already are wondering why but hey--I guess it's better than drums right?? ;)
On another note, I have signed on for my first ever trunk show. I am so excited! I have thought about doing shows from the beginning of Momma Mojito, but moving kind of got in the way of everything. So the time has finally come to hit the road and see what Momma Mojito can do! I hope you guys come out and see me at Central Park Hall at the Expo Center in Tulsa on April 8th!
Finally, it IS Friday. So let's celebrate the end of a busy week with a cocktail, shall we? I don't know about you girls, but my diet has been lacking lately while I've been so busy. So I desperately needed a cocktail that was light on the calories. Cue this Sparkling Grapefruit Refresher. So crisp and refreshing and delightfully low on the calories. Thank you very much. Here it is girls! Enjoy!
