Today we went to #sundaybrunch at @popsforitalian Today we went to #sundaybrunch at @popsforitalian in #ferndale. The food was great and everybody behaved. Special thanks to the young guy who yelled to me something like, “dingdang hot mama Zowie pow, you a hot!” I looked at him dumbfounded since im almost  #25weekspregnant (yay for viability)and feeling very round and duck-like.” I guess some ppl like that sort of thing.🤷🏼‍♀️ The weather is so perfect so afterwards we drove around to do our #marketplace pickups and got some free formula and laundry baskets.  Anybody pay a service to do their laundry? I’m sick of laundry, we have too much.

Get ready for 5000 #peppapig pictures. or maybe run from them if that’s not your thing!We went to @greatlakescrossingoutlets to go to @peppapigworldofplaymichigan  because Lola is obsessed with “Peppy!” and Rune loves it too. We didn’t tell them what we were doing until we got there so it was fun to see their happy and surprised faces. I really liked the setup because it was more about imaginative and interactive play instead of just a playground. They did a good job at representing the show that our family has all grown to love since it’s talked about daily. Anyways, here is the first set off pics. #momlife #kidfun

Since then, we’ve spotted Derek enjoying rock shows at venues such as Small’s and Royal Oak Music Theatre. Also, you may have spotted his brother on Instagram with a deluge of photos of his new bride-Congrats!
