It’s that time of year again – GGW!

October 11, 2013 By Allison 2 Comments

Every year, all the girls on my mom’s side of family get together for a Girl’s Getaway Weekend!! We call it GGW…

AND THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE OUR 11th YEAR! We are all meeting in Lake Tahoe today!

Our cousin, Shannon, came up with the idea because we all wanted to spend more time with our amazingly adorable Nanny… You all know her as Milly. Here is Milly with all her girls!

We still carry on the tradition even though our Nanny is no longer with us. We do it for her!!

We love and miss you, Nanny Bananny! Wish you were here!

Here are a few shots from GGW Nantucket 2008.

At GGW….

We do fun activities!

And play fun games!

We also play jokes on each other! There I am…. almost getting “pantsed” on the beach. How rude!

But most of all, we just love being together and love having fun!!

Caroline did not make the trip from Switzwerland. Lame. We will miss her!

Stay tuned for GGW TAHOE posts next week! XO

It’s Monday!! Oh no. I’m not feeling very funny right now. Nothing funny happened this past week!!!

1. Tom Brady lost to the Bengals this weekend for the first time ever in his whole entire career. 4-1.

2. lesson (finally) learned this weekend – stay true to your heart. no matter what happens. it’s always better to be open than closed off… no matter how scary it is or if the response is not what you wanted it to be. just be sure to be centered within yourself. ok, got it… (i don’t know why i didn’t want to capitalize those sentences.)

3. I saw Gravity last night. I felt sick with anxiety the whole time. I actually hated it. There were beautiful moments. BUT… I did appreciate it. It was a very different type of movie going experience.

4. I bowled on Shirley Temple’s personal bowling alley at her childhood home in Beverly Hills. Here is my friend, Jasmine, about to bowl a strike!

5. Patty went to Target this weekend for the first time in 4 months.

HERE’S TO A BETTER WEEK!! It is GGW this coming weekend! GGW stands for Girl’s Getaway Weekend! Every year the girls on my Mom’s side of the family get together for some fun! This year, we are heading to Lake Tahoe. Can’t even wait!

It’s Fall!

It’s Fall… and it’s 90 degrees in LA. BOOOOOOOOOOO.

This New England girl is sad. I wake up every morning and walk out with a scarf on and then immediately have to take it off when I get 3 steps outside.

I’m sitting here in shorts and a tshirt with the AC on… dreaming of being in these pictures!
