Hi friends, welcome back! After living in NYC for over three and a half years, I FINALLY made it to Central Park after a fresh snowfall. We had a false alarm earlier in the week, but Friday morning delivered over five inches of snow throughout the city. I felt like a kid hoping for a…
Hi friends, welcome back! I’ve got another fall foliage tour for you today. I originally went to the High Line to take pictures for a future post, but the fall colors were showing off so much that I just had to share. The High Line is a walkway and park built on an elevated, abandoned…

Hi friends, welcome back! It’s already time for another What's Up post. Jon and I spent the first week of August in Michigan attending Jon's family golf outing and celebrating my birthday. Jon and I drove back with all our remaining wedding presents and surprisingly, the drive back flew by. The middle of the month…
