The Year of Alya is Coming to an END
While I let that sink in, can’t help but wonder what else I need to do to bookend one Amazing year!??
Here’s a recap: Photos can also be found on my IG @AlyaBuzz.

Shopping trip to Milan, Italy with the girls + stopover in Bologna to reunite with my Bella Italian sister, Simona ❤️
Got braces, the metal kind & kinda sorta regretting it but wow, what a difference 8 months can make!

Pure Bliss yoga/ pilates retreat in Jamaica 🇯🇲 with some pretty fabulous & fit ladies 🙏
March – pretty sure something interesting happened, but what!? Update – Jacob’s spring break started & we headed to AZ.
April
My boy turned 17 – what!?
We spent Spring Break in AZ touring colleges, eating our faces off & hiking…a lot of hiking.
Worth mentioning that I got to see my work colleagues IRL for the first time since the pandemic in NYC during the PHM HealthFront.
My dream of seeing Hauser of 2 Cellos finally came true on April 5th in VA! I’m still shocked that I didn’t post a single photo of the show but trust me, it was fantastic!
May
Mother’s Day of course & then, the highly anticipated, Bridgerton Experience with my mama.
June – 22nd wedding anniversary! What?
Oh & how about that on the same day, June 24th, a flight to Paris with my BFFs & their daughters for 1 amazing week in my favorite city!
Which brings us to current times which, I have to admit, are still pretty great; living at the shore doesn’t suck, but Aug 14 is right around the corner & I still have so much to do. But what?
Suggestions are welcome to round out one hell of a “Year of Alya”
