Eating My Way Through Anguilla

Even though, for the moment, I am more than happy with the chilly weather in New York City, it won't be long before I start wanting to escape to the beach again. My list of favorite beach destinations is getting longer and recently I added another favorite: Anguil[...]

Happy Days at The One Happy Island of Aruba

Before I made it out to Aruba, I had heard so many great things from those who have visited often. As a matter of fact, it seems that those who spoke about their visits always returned. Since my first visit, I have been planning my return to the one happy island wi[...]

Touring The Amber Coast: Dominican Republic’s Puerto Plata

The Heart of Curtain Bluff, Antigua

As the rain drips off the fire escape outside my NYC window, I can't help but feel a bit sad at the fact that a week ago, on this very day, I was sitting on a balcony listening to the ocean water crash against the sandy shore of Antigua as the sun softly warmed up[...]

A Morning Adventure at Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas

My 12 year and I woke up today ready to head out for a swim before the day's activities.  However, as we made our way out of the Royal Tower (where we are staying), we became distracted by how everything looks when lit by the bright warm sun of the Bahamas and by[...]

Epic morning check list: First day’s screening o Epic morning check list: First day’s screening of The Odyssey in Rochester’s IMAX theater, followed by brekkie and a cafecito or two at @montgomerycourtcoffee, one of our bucket list cafes!

Bonus: getting to connect in person with owner Colin, and walking away with a bag of his Brazil roast, which is 😘👌🏾as a cold brew. The breakfast burritos are a must, but we are late to this game cause everyone already knows, and the vibe is ✨it✨.

If you haven’t already, add them to your list of must-visit cafes in ROC…and yes, the movie was awesome.

Good morning! This Sunday, you can find me in Corn Good morning! This Sunday, you can find me in Corning working @cafecomodony for “Sundays on The Square” from 11-3. Come out and say hi!
July in a few clips. It’s crazy to me how this July in a few clips. 

It’s crazy to me how this month flew by. We spent time working on BOTH our small businesses, were intentional in carving out time for the people we love, made sure to take moments to breathe and relax, and got a new puppy 🐾

That fact that it is ALREADY August goes to show just how easily and quickly time can slip you by, and I for one, want to take as much of this life in  as I can. 

Hoping for more afternoons by the lake, more travel capturing the beauty of this place, more time with my boys before they head off to college, more creative projects with our wonderful @braveworldmedia clients, more conversations and coffee with our @cafecomodony regulars, more laughter with our friends and family, more soft time with my hubby, and so many more moments of feeling joy in building a life on my own terms. 

Looking forward to what this month brings.
New cafe alert! @franklinstreetmarketflx in Watkin New cafe alert! @franklinstreetmarketflx in Watkins Glen, NY is the newest, and quite honestly, the best cafe in town. After a couple of tries I have to say this is THE spot for coffee/matcha in WG. Their breakfast sandwiches and smash burgers are SO good (Zomg…the tallow French fries are the most wickedly satisfying indulgence). Open daily till 4pm (with later hours potentially in the horizon), right on Franklin Street, just steps from the pier and a short drive from the @senecalakewine. 

Happy eating!

Listen, I have a few more things I want to enjoy, Listen, I have a few more things I want to enjoy, see, and do before summers’ end but as of today there are 56 days till fall and the signs are already here…as seen from the apples that have fallen from our trees. 

So if you are hesitating to take that road trip, jump in that lake, camp in those woods, gather outside with friends for a little grilling and fun in the sun, this is your cue to get to it. Time waits for no one. And there’s so much life to live. So, get to it! 

See you out there.
