We love y’all and hope y’all enjoy this issue!

High: 100% surprising our Mom for Mother’s Day. Mom is literally one of those people that never treats herself or travels or can be surprised so I love to make it happen whenever I can. I’m sure y’all have heard me talk about this before but my Mom has always worked so hard - she had three jobs at one point when I was in high school and then she put herself thru college in her 40s so she could pursue a career in radiology tech. She was the selfless mom that would stay up with me all night to finish a project or paper and never complain about it the next day even though she had to work, feed us, and a million other things. There is no one better than our Mom and I will spend the rest of my life paying her back for being the absolute best. If you want to ever recreate our Momathon in NYC, this is the schedule:
Friday:
Surprise flight to NYC
A weekend stay at the Warren St. Hotel
Pizza from Seppe Pizza Bar
Saturday (we wanted to do more here but it was very rainy):
Room service breakfast
Lunch at the bar in the Warren St. Hotel
Visit the Frick Museum
Walk down towards midtown and bar hop the hotels - we had tea and drinks at The Whitby
Dinner at Golden Hof
Broadway show - Beaches (sadly it already closed)
Sunday:
brunch at Frenchette
Head to Battery Park City to enjoy the parks
Fly Out
Low: I got off of Threads this month because I realized that every time I opened the app it made me angry and I’ve typed and deleted so many things that I definitely should have never shared. I truly think my mental health got better when I left Twitter (never calling it X) and I think the same is true for Threads. After watching people criticize Dr. Beachgem for taking a picture with a senator, I truly couldn’t take it anymore.
Funniest moment: By far, the funniest moment was watching how uncomfortable Steve was while we watched the new horror movie, Obsession. He practically lept out of his seat when it was over.
Biggest cry: I cried a lot this month thinking of Jackson. I cried very hard when I was making the video of the evolution of his hall runs. I have to thank y’all so much for sending me your favorite memories of him. How lucky am I that y’all loved and remember him too?
Proudest moment: Penny just decided that she wanted to wear underwear and she was done with diapers. My little independent lady! I knew she would do it on her own time and damn if she didn’t make us all proud!
Best purchases: The clothes for our Mom and the necklaces I got us all from mejuri. A close second is purchasing Mario Run for the iPad because Penny loves to watch me play it and I’ve had so much fun with her!
