A fun event from the week: we took one of the girls\u2019 friends with us to El Jefe Cat Lounge. It\u2019s a cat cafe where you can sip coffee and play with 25 adoptable cats. I\u2019m super allergic to cats – I just made sure I didn\u2019t touch any cats or touch my face while we were there – but I LOVE them. They\u2019re adorable and the girls had a blast playing with them.<\/p>\n Afterwards, we met up with the fam at El Charro for Cinco de Mayo fun. Always the tacos with shredded chicken, rice, beans, and a margarita.<\/p>\n My fave meal on the planet.<\/p>\n It\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Faves party!
