Rhode Island woop!


Last week I travelled to Rhode Island which is about 2hours away from NYC. My family have a summer house (Bach) there. It is great! 10mins away from the beach and it really reminds me of back home. It is beautiful!! 
The first thing we really did was go crabbing and yes I caught pretty much all the crabs (I'm a professional crabber.. If that's even a thing). At the end we just threw them back into the water, I mean what's up with that? We should at least eat them or chuck them at each other, but no (I'm to immature to be the nanny)! 

Michella (11yr old) and I decided to go on a bike ride and as we were biking I was like 'yo let's double' she goes 'what will we do with my bike though' I go 'oh yeah we can put it on the  back of my bike' (I had one of those things on the back that you can tie stuff to it.. Probably not for another bike but, hey). Anyway so long story short it ended bad and I now have a massive bruise on my leg (nice look for the beach!). An idea that I thought was great that really failed!! 

The beach is awesome! There are lifeguards that can save me when I drown (good looking ones to), an arcade where me and the kids went and played some fun games, a water park, go carts, cafés to buy food (really good food!) and the sea to swim in of course. 
Thought this cow was cute.. Has nothing to do with this blog lol. 

On Saturday night we all went to a pizza restaurant (so good!). And that's when I shared with the whole family that I've been nominated for the ice challenge (not a good idea). So the whole time, Michella is putting ice down my top, I'm getting ice chucked at me and I'm like guys we are in a restaurant and they go it's fine we are just starting the ice challenge now (Awesome, shouldn't of said anything). 

It was an awesome week but I did miss my New York friends a lot! I have just been back in New York for a week and now I'm on a train heading to Boston to meet up with a good friend from my hometown (cause we run the world. Siri says I'm Beyoncé). 

So catch y'all on the flip side!

4th July weekend 🇺🇸

 My whole family went away for the weekend so I had the house to myself (party?! Nah I would get deported). 
So as everyone knows, on Friday it was July 4th which is Americas Independence Day (boom). It was a beautiful thing, people were out celebrating by watching the soccer (the USA weren't even playing..but ohk.. Go Germany!!) 
Me and three of my friends found a burger place and ate burgers for dinner they were really good and mine were tiny (so cute)! 

We then headed to the Brooklyn bridge to watch the massive fireworks. There were so many people and so many cops around telling us where to go to see the fireworks on this bridge, and the cops kept yelling 'keep moving' and we got our bags checked for you know.. bombs I guess. And we were following all these people up on this bridge and it felt like we were in one of those movies, that you know has a virus in the city and everyone has to leave and some people are getting left behind cause they have the virus etc, oh cray cray! 

The fireworks were amazing!! Check it out .. 


On Saturday my good friend Rachel came to mine and I made pancakes and bacon (seriously the best). Then we went to the malls had a look around did some shopping and laughed a lot (like always). For dinner we had McDonald's (of all places) and parked up in this random park (didn't know where we were lol). 
After we got fat we went to the cinemas and watched Tammy (GREAT movie!). 

On Sunday I headed out to tarry town which is still in New York somewhere, and went to see my other good friend all the way from NZ, Kristie, yay!! 
(I like our facials)
 She's doing nannying as well and living in Boston, so not to far away from me. It was great to catch up with her and have weird conversations again (love her!). Can't wait to have weekend trips to Boston! 

It was a great weekend and I'm now chilling at a beach (even better).

 Hope y'all had a great 4th of July and are happy to be an American or a New Zealander or German which ever floats ya boat!

I ain't no touristy.


Here I am everyone, sorry it's been so long but I've been busy with the kids as they finished school for the year (yay I don't have to make lunches for like 2 months!). I am very excited to go away with the kids and spend more time with them, it's gonna be a great holiday!! 

Any who, so not the weekend just been, but the weekend before was a very relaxed, chilled weekend. I stayed at my friends house, watched movies, ate a lot of ice cream and tanned outside. We didn't go into the city the whole weekend.. Well mostly cause I didn't want to spend money on the train, but it turned out to be one of the best weekends! The moment you feel like you ain't no tourist anymore, is the moment you can just chill at home in NY (it's a beautiful thing!).

Now this weekend just been was great! I went and watched 22 jump street, oh WOW! I haven't laughed like that in the movies in a longtime, it was hilarious!! Then Saturday my friend and I went shopping and then headed to a Jamaican lady's 50th party, and yes we were the only white people there, got quite awkward cause everyone would just stare at us, I think they thought we were party crashers, but we weren't or were we?!.. In the end It was a lot of fun and the music was great so reggae! 


Sunday we went to the city and watched the gay pride parade (all I can say is Weow).
Didn't get any good photos, but this float is orange is the new black cast dancing on it (for those of you who know what I'm talking about). 

My new obsession is Starbucks mocha Frappes (oh so good!!) 
Then we headed to church. It was awesome like always! And I met this guy from London who knows a guy that I know who lives in London which was CRAZY!! The world is so big but really it's so small lol. 

Last night I headed to the city to watch my girls piano recital. It was good but oh my gosh soo boring! After that we went to dinner to this diner where the waitresses sang songs off broadway it was a great experience, the whole diner was singing along to the songs which was really cool! 
Alrighty have a great week everyone! 

Peace out.
