A Mother Daughter Date

A Mother Daughter Date


Bonjour Mes Amis!


Don't worry, that'll be the only French in this post. Today was supposed to be a boringly normal day, but it seems that it took a turn for the better. Let me explain.


First of all it's my friend Taylor's birthday! (Happy Birthday Taylor!) So while her and my twin went bowling and all that other fun stuff, my mom and I were sort of stuck in Moncton, New Brunswick with nothing to do.  So what do two creatively, crazy women with a love of culture do in said city? We find the nearest café to go people watching of course!


Now for those who don't know what people watching is, I'll give you a quick summary. It's when you find a nice quiet spot to sit and relax, while you point out different people and create absurd stories about them.
For example: A man dressed in all black and a hoodie walks by holding a dirty duffel bag, and suspiciously seems to be in a rush. Obviously that man had just robbed a bank and in the midst of getting away. But when his escape car never showed, he had to dash on foot. Now he weaves through the crowd as he tries to blend in and hide from the cops, but it's only a matter of time before they catch him.
Something like that!


This is what my mother and I do in our spare time. And no, we do not have a life.

Now this post is less about people watching and more about the café we happened to stumble upon and went people watching in. The café is called Café C'est La Vie, and it is the most artistic, most comfortable, most amazing café I have ever been to! Seriously it is now on my list of: Favorite Spots in Moncton!


This place is something else! It exhibits a local artists art work for month, every month. It has a huge variety of teas, and different international food selection, that tastes amazing by the way. They offer some food gluten free, and when they do, my mother noticed they added a little more food beside her sandwich because gluten free bread is smaller than normal bread. Talk about considerate. The service in this place makes you feel welcomed, and the building itself is over flowing with inspiration!


The workers there are polite, and very kind. I honestly felt like I was at home there! So, if you're ever in Main Street, Moncton, N.B, Canada, be sure to stop by at Café C'est La Vie! 

So that just about sums up my day. As I said before, no life!


I'll see you all later

Do You Believe In Magic?

Do You Believe in Magic?




Welcome Princesses, and Princes!




Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, there was a nerdy blogger. She and her family had craved and planned to search and discover a world of magic and adventure for many years, but because there was so many of them; they could not. But as fate would have it, after 15 years of waiting the moment had finally arrived. They got into their mystical carriage and drove to the place where wishes come true. Disney World.




In case you couldn't tell from my epic intro, I'm going to just say it. I went to Disney! Now for those who have already been there multiple times, or don't really care about it and probably think that I'm over reacting, let me explain something.




 I have been waiting to go to Disney World for as long as I can remember. But there are 7 people in my family, and it cost a fortune to go, so we never got the opportunity. So I grew up to all my friends going, and lived off the stories that they'd return with, and dreamed of when I would be able to experience it for myself.




For some reason, my mom grew tired of waiting and finally decided to work a few things out so that this entire trip would be possible. We all hopped into our sexy mini van and drove 3000 km, one way, to Florida (this is of course with many stops in between) On March 9th we finally did it. We went to Disney!!




It was exactly as I dreamed. We had gone to the Magic Kingdom, which is fabulous! You enter through old fashioned Main Street before you had the option to go four ways: 1. Into the futuristic  territory of Tomorrow Land 2. Explore the magical sites of Fantasy Land 3. Go back in time through Frontier Land or 4. Discover new wonders in Adventure Land. And sitting in the middle it of all this was, of course, Cinderella's beautiful castle!


Now we went on almost all the rides. From the really fast ones like The Dwarves Mining ride, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Thunder Mountain, to the slow yet magnificent one like Under The Sea, The Pirates Of Caribbean, and Peter Pan's Flight. To be honest I absolutely adored the slow ones because it's the slow ones that take you into the movie in a way I didn't now was possible!


If you are to go to Disney there is positively one thing you must do to finish your Disney experience, and that's stay for the closing firework, and light show along with the closing parade! They are so marvelous, and all together fascinating! I swear I was 5 again as I watched fireworks explode above my head to the beat of my favorite Disney songs. And if you don't catch the afternoon parade, you have to see the night time one, because it's that one that has the floats all strung with lights!


So that was my Disney experience, my one day of royalty. Comment about your experience, and/or your favorite Disney movie.

We Found A Zoo!

We Found A Zoo!




Greetings Mates,




So I didn't post anything yesterday, for one simple reason. Nothing really happened yesterday. We went shopping at the Legacy Place in Dedham. I got a new dress :)




But today is a completely different story. Why you may ask? We went to Roger Williams Park Zoo.


Now where is this zoo? Well, let me tell you! Roger Williams Park Zoo is on Rhode Island, and is absolutely amazing!!

This zoo has just about everything there is to offer. There's cheetahs, zebras, elephants, giraffes and even a red panda. A RED STICKEN PANDA!!!! Do you know how cute those things are? They are so adorable.

Roger William's is a huge zoo. My family and I were able to go around the entire thing in around   1.5 - 2 hours. The experience is astonishing.  It makes you feel like a child all over again!

This zoo is definitely a place to put on your bucket list. It's given me tons of new memories that will last a life time, as I hope it will for you too!

Bye-bye for now,

The Nerdy Blogger
