What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers related to this family, whether actively here or who have to do with the people in this family, enjoy your well-deserved day, Happy Mother's Day, sincerely from Luis Angel, Yeni and Jason
Thank you Luis and the rest of the Angel family.

Mothers come to us in many ways , shapes, and forms. Without it, we and the universe become a bit smaller, colder, with less potential. So don’t forget to acknowledge all those in your life that show up in all it’s maternal glory
 
Got wake up at equivalent midnight by my little one who wanted pancakes. Of course she ate half of one. Tank is messy half corals fall down so I had to clean this morning. In France, mother day is a different day don't know why. Happy mother day to all. After a full week of work and 50+ hours travel I have to go here and there what a pleasant short week end :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:. Enjoy your day.
 
Yep, still needing that Billy vibe.

That old person talking smack about how privileged I am to go on this vacation- on the phone to one of my brothers! And that would be the brother who goes or sends his wife and 10 yr. Old to Hawaii every year.

Love getting deflated while packing suitcase on what is for me an incredible vacation.

Where is that dang iceberg!
Don't you worry about that person. I told them there was a gold bar buried in the sand bed of a tank with a harem of maroon clowns.
 
so since it was my idea to do the healthy eating challenge, I have to be transparent and admit today’s failure.

Hot dog, fries and a beer! I will be starting the 14 days over again.

Not looking for sympathy, just wanted to be honest in case anyone else did a deep dive. I’m not talking one cookie or Sammie with bread, I’m talking full-on meal.

Do we call it a rip-clean? Lol.
Kids bday party today. Inevitable pizza and cupcakes--but these had amazing frosting with fondant Mario Bros faces on top!

A full life Remi; and a very good one. You will tell her the pancake story when she is an adult, and she will smile proudly.

Thank you Jo! I chuckled out loud on that one.

I would have had two of those cupcakes!
 
Well, I've stuck my caudal fin in my mouth enough today. Good night everyone!
No Jo; what you were was being a supportive friend. A title of a person does not give them carte Blanche.

However, I was TMI and will refrain from posting negative stuff about family - everyone deals with family stuff and our tanks and these friendship groups we create here are a way to get away from all of it.
 
Good morning everyone! Happy Mothers Day to all the moms! And for those that are blessed enough to still have their moms give them an extra hug for me today since I can't give my mom one.
