Uptown Park’s Lifestyle Blogger Series: Spring Edition

I received an email back in February from Maddie with Uptown Park’s marketing team asking me if I’d be interested in selecting favorites from Uptown Park as part of their Blogger Series.  Ummmmm… I didn’t have to think twice!  Finding the best and sharing it with you is what this blog is all about!  So I was thrilled to say the least!  I found so many great things about Houston’s Uptown Park it was hard to narrow them down!  This image is just a snip-it of what I found:





For more of what I found, check out the full post on the Uptown Park Blog.  For example, have you heard of the Big O’ Key Ring?  I want it for Mother’s Day along with everything else in the
post!

This was such a fun experience with Maddie and the photographer Kennon Evett, I hope more opportunities like this come along!

Scenes of Seaside, Florida! 📸 1) A sunset I've Scenes of Seaside, Florida! 📸

1) A sunset I've never seen before! The perfect gradation of color.
2) Pretty cottage lit up at night.
3) PB&J chocolate dipped frozen banana from @nigels30a. 🍌 
4) Calm water.
5) @pickles_seasidefl perfectly seasoned fries. 
6) Layers of color I enjoyed walking past every day. 🌺🌿💙
7) Awesome cloud formation.
8) My favorite bridge to the beach mimicking a seagull and I loved seeing the perforated pavilion and the patterns created by the sun shining through it. Zoom in to see all the dashes and lines, prettier in person!
9) The Truman Show house! 🎥
10) The threat of rain that didn’t keep us from going to the beach! 

This is my post with my pictures of scenes; see previous post for our recommendations and for pictures of HIGHLIGHTS of my people! 📸
This ⬆️ is how we took our much-needed break f This ⬆️ is how we took our much-needed break from everything: at the beach in Florida.☀️❄️☀️ With our kids being teens and tweens now, it almost felt like two separate vacations between the kids and grownups, only we got to spend the sunlight with them on the sand. 😃  Here’s our daily itinerary on repeat: beach, dinner, cards ♠️. Then toss in random treat eating and shopping. It was so much fun. 😊

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 Wondering if you c Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 Wondering if you could help me normalize the “short pour”? I’ve heard my family order short pours at bars for as long as I can remember so it’s normal for me. But when I order a “Margarita, short pour, please”, for example, the bartender or server doesn’t always know what it means. Sometimes they bring it to me in a tiny glass. 😂 So anyway I thought if more people knew about it then more people would start ordering it and then it wouldn’t be so confusing. 🤔 Maybe we could even get it on the cocktail menu, I mean, a half glass is on the wine list! #normalizetheshortpour #shortpour
