Two Ladies

For Mother's Day, as much as we love our families, my best friend Shawna and I asked our husbands if they could take the kids for a few hours so us girls could go relax and have a Mommy-Day-Out.  Our husbands said yes, and we were off before they could change their minds.  We did what any Mommy of two (or three) kids would do - no, not take a nap - we got pedicures and lunch out!

We had an awesome afternoon.  Not only were our feet gorgeous, but we had a great lunch at Bistro 33 in El Dorado Hills, accompanied by two glasses of wine (each - which probably goes without saying for those of you who know us), followed by a little fun at the local jewelry shop trying on some amazing diamonds.  Since we couldn't afford to buy them for each other, we had to call it a day.


I love spending time with my friend.  Shawna and I can totally relate to each other, whether it's the stress of kids, husbands (no offense, babe), households, our childhoods, life in general - we just get each other.  Shawna is a beautiful sexy mom of three beautiful, fantastic children and wife to a great guy.  Even with three kids and a husband with a crazy work schedule, she still finds time to work out, build a garden, keep her house gorgeous, start her own successful business (see her website here) and drink wine with me.





Our day out was a great gift from our husbands.  When they asked us if we enjoyed our time out I don't think they expected to hear that we were going to start doing it weekly.  Ha, I wish!
