I’M BACK IN LA! SAME PAGE MONDAY IS BACK TOO!

1.  In honor of the Season Premiere of The Bachelor tonight, I will tell you my little Bachelor/Bachelorette story.  About 2 months ago, we met Drew Kenney from last season’s Bachelorette (well he was our bartender at Hakkasan in Beverly Hills) and my friend slipped him my number when we were leaving and told him to call the “cute blonde”.  I am still waiting for him to call.  Just kidding.  I am not.  I got over it pretty quickly.  Actually, the day after, I was reading US Magazine and there was an article about how he is now dating Chris Harrison’s assistant.  Note to self: Stay up to date with gossip magazines so that you are up to date on who is dating who in this town, so embarrassing stuff like that doesn’t happen again.

Almost…

 2.  This is Patty instagramming.  Notice that she is not only committing a big fashion no no… socks and flips flops… but she is surrounded my mounds of snow.  She walked in and said, “My toes are froze.”  Oh Patty, we love you!  The things we do for a good Instagram shot.

3. If you didn’t know this about me already, I used to work for Sprinkles Cupcakes! I always had so much fun working for Sprinkles. One of the things I loved about that job, was that we were always filming fun videos and training videos! Patty, Emily and Caroline are in New York for the buying shows and they stopped at Sprinkles for a little afternoon pick me up… They sent me this video. It makes me happy to know that I haven’t fully left Sprinkles forever.  A little piece of me will live forever on the TV Screens at Sprinkles in New York. Watch my amazing dance skills below.

4.  There are only 3 things today.  I’m sorry.  I hope that’s ok.  Let me know if it’s not.

A Nantucket Snow Storm – #ACKHERCULES

January 5, 2014 By 6 Comments

HERCULES! HERCULES! HERCULES!

On the second day of the storm, Nantucket woke up to a huge, white, fluffy layer of snow.  This meant we had to go sledding!  We all bundled up and headed out for another adventure!   Caroline had never been sledding before.  I know, isn’t that terrible?!  We definitely took her sledding when she was between the ages of 1 and 3, but she obviously doesn’t remember.  She was convinced she could “slip and slide” down our snow covered shell path… but she quickly realized that that doesn’t work!  We then found a huge pile of snow that the plow trucks left in our neighborhood that served as a pretty “epic” sledding hill for us!  AND then we got a call from Steve, inviting us on an adventure.  Steve is the King of Adventure… we knew we were in for some crazy fun!

We put together a little video for you all to see!  Scroll down and hit play!

A Nantucket Snow Storm – The Calm Before the Storm

January 4, 2014 By Leave a Comment

Snow storm on Nantucket!! What a perfect way to end a lovely holiday on this beautiful little island!

On the first day of snow, there were only a few inches, but we were so excited that we decided to go on a little adventure!  We couldn’t wait to see what the island looked liked covered in snow. Patty drove us around the snow covered island and we hopped out and took pictures. We stopped along the way to get coffee, hot chocolate and Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuits from Stubbys… it hit the spot on that cold day.

Here are some snapshots from the day…
