PICTURE SHOW: A MEXICAN RADIO FIESTA AND PLAYGROUND FUN IN NYC

Happy Monday, Lovelies!

On Sunday, I met up with friends I've known since childhood, their husbands and kids in SoHo for an afternoon of fun!  We started out having lunch at Mexican Radio followed by fun at the Desalvio Playground nearby!

I was so fortunate to have met such great friends when I was younger who have remained the greatest of friends over the years, for the past 24 years, and now that we are all in the Tri-state area, it makes it easier to see each other more often!

They truly are some of the most positive, happy, kind, fun and genuine people you will ever meet, and seeing so many of them go on to get married, buy homes and start beautiful families of their own has been wonderful!

Needless to say, we had a fun-filled day on a beautiful afternoon in the city, and here are some pictures from our afternoon adventures! :)

Lunch at Mexican Radio in SoHo...so FUN! :)

Refreshing sangrias and tasty nachos!  Yum! :)

Nicholas was excited for his "selfie" with "Aunt" Liesl! :)

Paige was having too much fun!

The Girls and friends since elementary, middle school and beyond!

Lena wanted to try a "selfie" picture with Paige, but I think she wasn't quite ready for her close-up! ;)

The kids playing and being silly!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!! :) ...got to love the guy sleeping in the background! LOL!

Jen and Elaine's kids are the same age and get along so well...hugs, so sweet! ❤

SATURDAY SAYINGS: LIFE, RISK, GRATITUDE AND POSITIVITY

Happy, Happy Saturday, Bloglanders!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!  I'm off to meet up with friends from high school, their hubbies and children for a fun Mexican fiesta on Sunday afternoon in SoHo, which should be super fun!

I pulled a few quotes about life, risk, gratitude and positivity for this week, and I hope they offer just a little inspiration! :)

PICTURE SHOW: LAST 2 WEEKS OF FUN ADVENTURES AND FRIENDS VIA INSTAGRAM

Happy Friday, Lovelies!

The past couple weeks have been filled with fun adventures, all captured on my iPhone, per usual, and some posted to Instagram!

One of the highlights for me was getting to spend this past weekend with friends I've known for 24 years simply catching up and having fun girlie time, just like we used to growing up!  

No matter how many years go by or the distance that has separated us, though we are now all now back in the same are for the first time in over 10 years, we always pick right up where we last left off, and they will be my best friends for life! ❤

They are always happy, smiling and remain positive with that childlike wonder, which is something that has bonded us since day one!  One is now married, just bought a gorgeous home and has two beautiful children, to whom I am "Aunt" Liesl, love it!  It has been wonderful getting to be there as we each evolve and grow in life from children into true adults.

So, without further ado, here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks, including a visit from a friend of mine in LA and plenty of NYC fun and sunsets!  Enjoy! :)
