Family Fun /East Coast Style

This past May, Marley and I ventured to the Big Apple to visit friends and spend some time with our family in New Jersey. I cannot express the connection we have, despite our residing in California. I was so kiddy stepping off that plane, I pushed Marley in his stroller so fast to the Dunkin' Donuts kiosk.....Light and Sweet please! Ahhhh good times. Oh, and the warm humidity, the energy, the urgency, it felt like a roller coaster! I didn't waste anytime trying to coordinate with my friends. I did not get to see everybody, but I did get a chance to see some old friends from high school, dance friends, Stomp friends, my in-laws, my brother and his family and my parents. So, It was a perfect. Marley loved Nyc & NJ. He was sitting in the back seat and he said "Mommy, I never want to leave this place again!" I said "What place Marley?" He yelled "New Jersey!" He said the same thing when we went to play in Central Park. "I don't want to leave New York Mommy!" He loved his new friends, cousins, aunties, uncles and both sets of grandparents! He was in heaven. All of the attention and love, he couldn't get enough.

So Much to Tell!!!

I know.......I have been pretty awful with the blogging, but I promise to be better. I don't know where the time goes. The baby and hubby are fast asleep so I am going to take this me time, even though I probably should follow suit. Oh well I will just regret it in the morning and let live! :)

So, about two weeks ago I set out for a job to NYC. It was my first performance job since I had the baby and it felt so good, to be working again. We rehearsed for 2 weeks and flew to JFK and stay in the Lower East Side @The Cooper Hotel for two whirlwind days! My little Marley accompanied me on the trip and he was so awesome. I love how easy he is .........how he just rolls with the punches. While I was working my brother and sister in law watched him and he enjoyed their company. I am so thankful for our family's. I love them. And thank you to our favourite family The Lanes! Thank you Francine & Girls for the long weekend! I could not have done this with out you!

Anyways, on this job. I performed with the artist Kanye West.

We did a one night concert for this watch company called G-Shock at Cipriani's in downtown. We had a great time, we rocked the show and got to wear Herve' Leger bathing suit! Along with black body paint and jabbawocki mask! Beautifly Scary!!!!

That's an exciting thing for a girl who loves fashion. But even more unbelievable to me.....having a baby 6months ago, would I ever think I would be wearing one! hahha

On this trip, I was not the only mama traveling with her infant! There was two of us, and it was awesome. I have to give it up to all the mama's, baby mama's, etc. Working and being a mommy is a tough thing, but it can be done with great support. There was a couple of bumps on this job. ...Unfortunately, there are business women who do not like women with children. I KNOW! Go figure. The men on the job were so accepting and supportive of us being new moms and we didn't even have our children on location. Some things I will never understand. However, I am back, recharged and proud that I rocked on!!!!
