Hi friends, welcome back to my last spring post of the season. I don’t have much new to say about Central Park after all these years so this post will be picture heavy. We visited the park on a beautiful spring day for some family pictures with our photographer Emily. After our pictures we headed…
Hi friends, welcome back! I was feeling adventurous after the Macy’s flower show, so I headed to Hudson Yards to see another floral display. For the past few years, the mall at Hudson Yards hosts Fluers de Villes, a traveling floral show. The theme this year was Flora, a fashion forward celebration of spring couture…

Hi friends, welcome back! I’ve officially crossed off the first item on my 2026 Bucket List: visiting the Museum of Natural History. Jon and I last went in 2019 and since then they’ve opened a new wing called the Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation. This addition took nine years to complete and opened…

Hi friends, welcome back! NYC hasn’t gotten much snow the past few years, so when I heard we were getting more than a few inches, I knew I had to take advantage. These pictures are from December 14th, 2025 when we woke up to a winter wonderland. I had already planned to see some of…
Hi friends, welcome back! I believe they predicted NYC was in for a cold, snowy winter and so far they’ve been right! This past weekend winter storm Fern rolled through, and I was very happy we had nowhere to be. The meteorologists have hyped up prior snowstorms that didn’t come to fruition, so I was…
