fun times
We’re here for the fun, 24/7.
Recently, I found myself saying, “If it’s not fun, I’m not doing it.”
Childlike, huh? But so true! As a 40+ adult, I find myself reverting back to my 4-year-old ways and hunting for HAPPY and yearning for FUN. Something switched years ago at Eden where we realized that fun was where the magic lived. If we weren’t laughing hysterically, playing while working and having the time of our lives, we just couldn’t make good things happen. So we cut the BS and focused on FUN… and that’s when the magic began.
Crafts all day at The Edition in Japanese pajamas with Aunty TanTan? OMG, fun times.
At 7 months pregnant, I took Alyssa to a Taylor Swift concert with matchy sweatshirts and all! I wore mines with shorts, she was so hot she rocked it as a maternity dress. Fun times indeed!
