This past weekend, while at a local farm, I saw a tree and counted the needles (it should be bunches of 5) and I got super excited. I started stuffing my purse with pine needles 🤣🙈. Today, I made my first cup of tea with it! White Pine needles are very high in Vitamin C. They act as an antiseptic. They also are known for being a mood stabilizer.

Date night in the DMV... Old Town Alexandria to be Date night in the DMV... Old Town Alexandria to be exact. Barca Pier & Wine bar to be even more exact @barca_alx Before our reservation, we made a quick stop at the Wine Bar which is where we had one of our first dates in Virginia, over 4yrs ago. Then we had dinner on the water where the food is a mix of Mediterranean and Spanish Vibes. We ordered the goat cheese dip, lamb chops, Brussels, steak, and chicken skewers. Everything was 🔥🔥🔥 and so flavorful. I'm ready to go back already! After dinner we took a stroll down King St. where I sweat my life away like I was running on a treadmill....the humidity got the best of me🤣 and according to my hubby, I'm not outside enough 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ The stop for ice cream was so clutch! We ended the night chatting on a park bench, by the water, before heading home. If you're married and date nights or day dates aren't a regular part of your life start this month with changing that!

And that compliment left me proud. Not because she's knows her mama is cute, but because she knows he mama has a lofe outside of being a mom and she gets to witness it. That's a legacy I will be proud to leave behind. I want her to know that you can be an amazing mom and still enjoy life, guilt free...and why noy be cute doing it as well 💁🏾‍♀️ . . . . .
