FIRST BLOG POST & A LITTLE TASTE OF THE MOOSE

Whew! Here we go. I’ve been going back and forth trying to decide if I should actually go through with this blog. I love reading stalking other lifestyle, fashion, and beauty blogs. I’ve been watching YouTube tutorials for years, and when I became a mommy, I had to know what all you other mommies were up to, and how you were styling those LO’s! My dear friend Amie asked me when I was going to start mine, and I thought to myself, why not? Hopefully our life here in small town Aztec will be interesting enough to have reader someday stalkers. Plus this is the perfect way to answer all of the questions those out of town family members and friends are always asking… "wheres that little babe and what is she up to?”

I’m so stoked to get started! I go to sleep still drafting out post ideas in my mind. This flowing brain full will soon run dry, so I am taking full advantage now. Bear with me for now. So here goes nothing! 

Vanilla Moose. (angels singing) If you are reading this and don’t live in the area to know what those two little words mean, than I am truly sorry. You are missing out on the most wonderful tasting ice cream around! Not to mention how adorable the little shop is, and the worlds sweetest owner that has been running it since I was a wee little one. I did a little research and the parlor has been up and running since 1983. Insane right? 

Anywho! My LO (little one) Averee, who is now almost 9 months old, had her first taste of heaven. I knew I couldn’t take her anywhere else but the Moose for one of their free kiddie cones. Sign says, “If you’re old enough to ask, you’re too old.” So there you go. She devoured as much as I would let her have, which was probably too much. All the way down to the cone! Little piglet. Ice cream and splash park on our first “hot” Saturday of the year? Sounds like a win to me. I hope this first post wasn’t too painful on the eyes. Thanks so much for reading! Stick around for lots more.
