Hi friends, welcome back! I believe they predicted NYC was in for a cold, snowy winter and so far they’ve been right!

Compared to the department stores on Fifth Avenue, Macys always tries to capture the wonder and nostalgic feeling of Christmas. This year…
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…
Hi friends, welcome back! This past weekend we finally made it back to Central Park for the first time since our maternity pictures a year ago. It was a warm, sunny day and we made it just in time to see all the beautiful fall colors. We weren’t sure how much of the park we’d…
Hi friends, welcome back! I’ve got part one of my Upper East Side Halloween Décor tour for you today. The Upper East Side is my favorite neighborhood for Halloween decorations, and they really go all out. It's a different vibe compared to the West Village decorations.
