Happy 80th Birthday to the legend himself @sirrodstewart
Everyone knows how much I love Rod and how much his music has been a part of my life story and memories.
My number 1 bucket list goal of my life is to meet him to be able to thank him for being such a big part in my bond with my Nana and Papa! I also need to see him 4 more times in concert to bring that number to 30 times!
I hope to cross all of that off my bucket list this year! by @chasing_mimi

I have the privilege of calling @garrisonstarr my friend, which means over the past 20 years I’ve gotten to witness up close what a special human being she is.

Her new album, The Gospel Truth, came out Friday and I AM OBSESSED.
This album is soulful, raw, honest, with beautiful songwriting and a voice that goes straight through you.
It feels like one of those albums you don’t just listen to, you feel it!

Garrison also always has a way of putting words to things that you didn’t quite know how to say yourself.

Go listen to The Gospel Truth. All the way through. Give it your full attention.
Then come talk to me about it :) by @chasing_mimi

The wait is finally over!!!!!!!!!

5 months ago, I bought these tickets, and ever since then, I’ve been counting down the days.

Sarah McLachlan weekend is finally here!

If you know me even a little, then you know that @officialsarahmclachlan isn’t just my favorite artist of all time, but her music is a mirror into my soul!
It has been my therapy, my safe place, and the soundtrack to every chapter of my life.

Her songs have carried me through heartbreak, healing, loss, hope, and yes also joy.
There were times when her music reached me in ways nothing else ever could, and I truly believe it helped save my life.

Today I head to Chicago for my 24th Sarah McLachlan concert and somehow the excitement still feels exactly like it did the first time when I was 14 years old.

My heart is happy knowing that this weekend will be filled with the music that has shaped so much of my life.

I already know there will be tears and goosebumps and moments I’ll carry with me forever.

Here’s to the beginning of what I know will be an unforgettable weekend. 💜🎶

Ok friends!
I’m looking for a reasonably priced month to month gym!
No commitments because I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to stay motivated and keep going, but I have to try!

Where do you recommend? Why don’t like it? And what does it cost? by @chasing_mimi

Father's Day just hits differently when the man who raised you is no longer here.
Time doesn’t heal that!

Papa, thank you for loving me and standing by me. The person I am today is because of your love, patience, and sacrifices.

We deserved so much more time together!

Happy Father's Day. I love you and miss you every day. 💜🌼 by @chasing_mimi

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite people in the whole world @bridgetjas 🎂

It’s hard to put into words what you mean to me!

You started as my dance teacher when I was younger, became my friend, later my boss, and somewhere along the way became my family and one of the most important people in my life!
It’s amazing to have had you in my life through so many different chapters.

You are one of my best friends, my partner in crime, my concert and travel buddy, and the person who can make even the most ordinary day feel special.
Whether we’re out running errands, sharing laughs over absolutely nothing, planning our next adventure, or making memories that will last a lifetime, I always know it’s going to be a good time when you’re there.

Thank you for being the friend who celebrates the good times with me, picks up the pieces when life gets hard, and always knows exactly how to make me laugh and smile when I need it most.
Your friendship has been one of the greatest gifts in my life.

Today we celebrate not just a milestone birthday, but the amazing woman you are!

Cheers to years of making the world brighter and to many more adventures ahead.

I can’t wait to see what memories we’ll make next!

Love you so much my friend. Enjoy your day!
Happy Birthday! 🎉🎂💜 by @chasing_mimi

Picture it… May 2006.
Three young girls meet, hit it off instantly and become the VIP!
20 years later, here we are!

We have navigated our 20’s, 30’s and now our 40’s together all while celebrating milestones, navigating life’s highs and lows, surviving heartbreaks, laughing until we cried, crying until we laughed, and standing beside each other through every season of life.

No matter how much life changes, including us all living in diffetnt places now, one thing never has changed and that’s US!!!!

People always talk about soulmates like they only exist in romantic relationships, but I know without a doubt that soulmates exist in friendships too.

I’m so thankful for the kind of friendship that feels like home, no matter how much time passes.

Cheers to 20 years of memories, love, chaos, inside jokes, and support!
Thank You for being a friend and remember that I love you and I’d choose you both every single time. 💜 by @chasing_mimi

The greatest gift of my life was when I became Aidan Thomas’s mom. 💜 So on this Mother’s Day I just want to say
Aidan, being your mom has been the most important, meaningful, and rewarding part of my life. Watching you grow into the incredible man you are today has been the honor of a lifetime.
I could not be more proud of you.

Have I done everything right these past 23 years? Absolutely not. I’ve made mistakes, learned lessons the hard way, and I’m still learning every single day!
One thing I have never questioned is how deeply I love you and how grateful I am that I get to be your mom.
Thank you for giving my life purpose, laughter, memories, adventures and a love bigger than I ever knew existed.
No matter how old you get, you will always be my baby, and I will always be your biggest cheerleader.
I love you more than words could ever say. 💜 by @chasing_mimi
