It’s been a long tradition of mine: to force my daughter on dates with me. Her dad works on weekends and Gwen won’t leave the house if I let her be. So I insist until she is convinced that she must come with me (wherever that is) or I clearly won’t give her a moment of peace.
Top’s Diner is our favorite brunch place. From brunch, we usually visit a random Barnes & Noble, always trying to go to one we haven’t been to before. A quick stop on a Starbucks is a must, of course -and it’s incredible how the same drink flavor changes considerably at different Starbucks throughout New Jersey.
Yes, mother-daughter dates are a thing here, so many other posts and photos to come, on this one. I also share them on Instagram (with way more photos). I wish I was a better mom when Gwen was little, but I’m doing my best to catch up now.
