For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you already know about the awesome day I had on Monday with my Mama! For those of you who don't....what are you thinking!? Stop everything now and hit that follow button over there <-----! On Monday, my mom & I went to a taping of the Home & Family Show. For those of you who don't know about Home & Family, (what rock are you under!?) it's a daytime talk show. However, it's so much more fun than your average talk show! It's set in a house and they give all sorts of great lifestyle tips, as well as interview trending stars.

Before the taping we grabbed Lunch at Olive & Thyme, an adorable restaurant in Burbank. The food was delicious. My mom and I split the daily special, which was a lemon turkey arugula sandwich. Afterwards we headed to the set. There was a bit of a hassle getting us in to the taping because of problems with the guest list, but after a bit of a wait and a very apologetic coordinator, we got in. I had messaged one of the hosts of the show, Cristina Ferrare, on Instagram prior to the show, assuming she wouldn't see, but that it was worth a shot. While waiting to be seated in the audience, Cristina came up, found me, and met my mom. This was a pretty awesome moment because I remember my mom watching this show when I was young and Cristina hosted with Candace Garvey. And when I say young, I mean when I was 4-5 years old! We enjoyed the show and also got to meet Matt Rogers, one of the other hosts, who was on American Idol several years back. What a fun day to share with my mom! After the show we went back to Olive & Thyme (yes, it was THAT good!) for dessert. There we spotted Chaley Rose (Zoey Dalton on Nashville) and Alison Sweeney. I think this MIGHT be my new homework spot. ;)

Here are some fun photos from the day, both of cast members, set, and the quaintly decorated restaurant. Enjoy!
