👬 I am married for 18 years & am a super proud mom of two boys and one furry daughter, Stella 🐕

✍ I love to write and never really thought I did until I started blogging 13 years ago. It started out as Pellerini, morphed for a very short time to Modern Xennial, and has been The Modern Mom Lounge for 8 months. No, I'm not rebranding again LOL

#FridayFeels I am so glad it's Friday! This week #FridayFeels I am so glad it's Friday!  This week was a busy one - super productive with a 24ish hour trip to Arizona for work. 

I got to wake up to this gorgeous view of the mountains ⛰😍

This weekend I'm definitely taking  advantage of no scheduled games - sleeping late, massage, relaxing, going through the 9,000 magazines piling up on my coffee table...

What are your weekend plans?
