Hi friends, welcome back! We are officially moved, but I thought I’d officially conclude my time living in NYC with a final “View From My Window”. With the recent heatwave I did a lot of looking out the window to see all the Fourth of July happenings in NYC. Once the feels like temperature gets…

Christmas Apartment Tour 2025
Hi friends, welcome back and come on in! I’ve got a holly jolly home tour for you today. Babyproofing my decorations has been in the back of my mind for months and I think I succeeded. I did most of the decorations while Violet was napping and she came out and started clapping so I…
Halloween Apartment Tour 2025
Hi friends, welcome back and come on in for a festive apartment tour! I had to be extra efficient decorating this year now that Violet is on the move and into everything.

I’m Back!
Hi friends, welcome back! I’ve missed you all and this little blog so much. I thought I’d be back a lot sooner, but I’ve had less free time than I expected and time is flying by too fast! I figured fall would be the perfect time to make my comeback because it’s my favorite time…

Hi friends, welcome back and come on in for a not so spooky Halloween apartment tour 🙂 I’ve got a few new things, but until we get a house with a basement, I’m trying to resist the temptation to add to my collection. I usually decorate right after Labor Day so I can enjoy the…

Jon and I re-signed our lease so we’ll be taking in all these views for at least another year.…
Christmas Apartment Tour 2023
Hi friends, welcome back and come on in! I'm kicking off the holiday season from home. This post pairs well with a pine or cinnamon scented candle, warm beverage, and “It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas” playing in the background. I started decorating on November 7th and it took me two days this…
Living in NYC – 5 Year Update
Hi friends, welcome back! I shared in my What’s Up post that May marked my five-year anniversary of living in NYC and I thought it was worthy of a separate post. Growing up in the suburbs of Michigan, NYC used to be the last place I ever pictured myself living, but now I can’t imagine…
What’s Up: March 2023
Hi friends, welcome back! Not much is new this month. We’ve just been relaxing and going out to dinner or brunch with friends on the weekends. Once March Madness started I became one with the couch. We’re going to have another busy summer so it’s nice to just chill out. As much as we love…
