These photos were taken back on Easter weekend, when we had the most gorgeous Saturday at my parent’s house. It was so nice to be outside in their beautiful yard in Maryland where the grass is green and the flowers are starting to bloom. Of course my Nico couldn’t get enough of swinging in the new hammock my Dad put outside. We caught up with friends, dyed Easter eggs, and I even got a (much needed) fresh hair cut. Many thanks to Nikki for the new locks and style!

Since that weekend, it’s been a bit frigid up here in NY. Hoping that spring weather will come back around again soon.

Today is Day 3 of 21 Day Fix Extreme. Whew! It’s definitely challenging. I am feeling the burn, feeling myself getting stronger already, and dialing in that nutrition again. Wish me luck staying on track tonight on my dinner date with a friend!

Hope you all are having a great week!

XO,

Gina

Lunch Date

Lunch at Mimi’s on Cortelyou

Had a nice little day with the hubby over the weekend.  Woke up and did some yoga together, relaxed, ate breakfast, and read my book.  Then headed out on a little neighborhood stroll on Cortelyou.  Had a wonderful lunch at Mimi’s, and then browsed around at a few new shops that have opened up.  It seems our little Ditmas Park is growing and growing.

In addition, today, I would like to send some love and prayers down to Maryland in memory of my dear Aunt Sylvia.  She passed away last week, and unfortunately, I was unable to make it down for the services.  She was a wonderful lady with admirable strength and courage.  She had a fantastic sense of humor and could always make you laugh.  In addition, I will always remember the quilt she made me for my room growing up.  She was very talented.  My thoughts and prayers go out to all my family and cousins who are remembering her today.  Love you all.

XO,

Gina
