Being a geeky mom, it’s hard to come by geek-centric events in Miami that are appropriate for the kiddos too, but leave it to Target to do the job. Firstly mamas, did you know that Target has kid friendly events scheduled every month? Check and see what they are and what stores near you participate here. This month was Harry Potter themed, so you know the bestie and I trekked to a Target 15 minutes away just to attend (our home Target wasn’t participating – such muggle behavior).
It comes as no surprise that I often wish the world J.K. Rowling created would come to life, so I seize any opportunity to attempt to make that happen. By some sort of magical miracle, Miami hosted a Potter Bar Crawl this past weekend and I knew I had to go. Cocktails and wizardry? I mean, could anything have my name written all over it more?
I wanted to be comfortable since we would be on our feet all night, but also wanted to channel my house. I thought putting together an outfit that a Gryffindor would wear any day outside of school would be best (although props to all those that went full out robes in 80 degree weather).
I had a great time, and hope that we get more geeky-inspired bar crawls in the future. It seemed pretty successful so I have hope that our geek scene will only continue to grow!

I’m sure this post needs no introduction. By now you have heard of The Museum of Ice Cream that is taking the States by storm. It’s a candy colored tribute to everyone’s favorite dessert (wait, what do you mean, it’s not everyone’s favorite?), and has turned into a Instagram sensation. Basically, it is so up my speed that it made me come out of hiding (kidding – not really?).
The hubs packed up his favorite camera, and we went on a very quick date night to visit the “museum” (it’s really an art exhibit) and then head right back home. I have to give him a huge high five for these shots. He nailed each and every one, and we still managed to have a blast together despite some long lines, obnoxious Instagrammers and “the rush” we now feel as parents to get back home.
The experience started off by getting your “ice cream fortune” read by this lovely little lady, and then you were on your way to 4 floors of different pastel colored rooms – each perfectly styled to make your Instagram shots look flawless. You also occasionally got some ice cream – none of which I could enjoy because – surprise! – I’m allergic to vanilla and that ish is in everything. No joke. But lets face it. No one was there for the actual ice cream.
I was pretty in love with my outfit for the event. I shopped on Nasty Gal for the first time during a killer after Christmas sale (still happening omg), and I am so freaking obsessed with their clothes and quality now. Consider me a loyal customer for life. I wanted to wear something that was fun, but that at the same time wouldn’t take away from the colorful backdrops. I think I did a pretty good job.

Hey Guys!
I survived Hurricane Irma with minimal damage (thank God!), but I still do not have Internet access, or in turn, TV. That means I can’t blog as regularly as I used to and have to travel to a local Starbucks to do so (that goes for work too). I’m also very behind on all things pop culture. But we are safe and no other storms look to be threatening us (peace out, Maria!), so all is good. There are a lot of fun things coming up in the next few months, so I’m excited to be able to share them all with you.
For now, enjoy all the things I have been coveting, but having to refrain from purchasing in lieu of hurricane supplies.
