*ROCKIN KIX*

Growing up, my mom always made random days very special for me. We would do a Mom and daughter day and it would be all about us. It was a little harder for her with two girls and some days we did the special thing with all three of us, but no matter how we went about our girls day... it was always awesome.

I was more than happy to have just one daughter. When Binky was born, the big thing for me was... I had a daughter to decorate. Tommy proudly boasted that Binky was always, and I mean always, decorated to the hilt. She would sit for hours while I did her hair and we would go out together and people would always comment on what a doll with her hair done up like a celebrity she was. Thinking back I will always remember the piggies that took hours to separate to make perfect so I could finally get them to end in poofs on the sides of her head.

Now that she is 8, I want to make sure our Mommy and Daughter days are so special that she remembers them forever, just like I do.

When Tommy came up with the idea of Miley Cyrus tickets for her 8th birthday, I couldn't say no. I was not real sure if she would love it or just be bored. It was, after all, her first concert.

We planned for months how we were going to spend this very special day. It had to include our nails and toenails. Lunch. A new rockin' outfit for the concert of the century for girly girls. Hair do's and dinner. Most importantly, it had to be all about girls.

We started our day out taking the boys to school. She was all smiles when we loaded up and headed to our first appointment: mani's and pedi's. She was in relaxation heaven.

Next... A little Chic-fil-A to keep our energy up while we searched for the perfect outfit to dance in.

Then came the boots.

Then onto Victoria's Secret for lip gloss. Who knew they have brought back the roll on lip smackers lip gloss. Such a fan I am.

We hurried home to relax before it was time to get dressed. It was then that I locked my keys inside the Escalade truck that does not even belong to us. Go figure. On to changing out the truck for the real Escalade, that we have decided is not going to work for us... but she did get us to the concert in style......

Hair...check... make-up.....check.....clothing....check.... boys from school...check.... we were on our way.

After a quick drop off of the boys, Binky and I headed to Pf Changs for our dinner date. We laughed about the silliest things, took notice of the hot boys ambling around the restaurant, took bets on whether or not all the little girls at the restaurant were going to the concert. Hand in hand we headed to our final destination of the night....

Miley.

She rocked!

At 38, I am so not ashamed to say that the girl is awesome. She has definitely gone from the Hannah Montana innocent era to a little more risque...but I knew that was gonna happen.

Binky rocked to the Hoe Down Throw Down, Girls Night Out and all the other songs in between. Her concert ended with, "The Climb," which was simple and beautiful. It was a blast watching Brinkley socialize with all the little girls around us that she didn't even know and dance until she wore herself completely out.

I loved our entire day together. Binky is undoubtedly my concert girl. She loves loud music, singing and dancing and all the hustle and bustle of the crowds. This was her first and FOR SURE....will not be her last.

Our ride home was nearly silent. Less than 7 minutes on the surface streets and she was out like a baby. When we pulled into the garage she smiled and said she had so much fun. Two new concert T-shirts to start her collection and hopefully a lifetime of memories, all packed into one fun ~ filled day.

I have joked with many that I could have sold our tickets for a mint. There were parents in tears begging to buy seats at the doors. Although I actually paid a mint for these tickets, after seeing the pure delight in Brinkley's face all throughout the concert, I wouldn't have traded them for all the money in the world.
