I started my day with a walk. While outside, I could see it was going to be an amazing day. I came home and was greeted by my husband with, "So what adventure are we going on today, babe?" One would think that with such beautiful weather in NYC finding somethin[...]
I was up early today. My new venture got me up and working out before 8:00AM (which is early for me), and without the kids. When I done, I was full of energy and inspiration for the day. I had a list of things we could do and imagined how well it would all wo[...]
Ah, Madison. Honestly, before I met my husband, I didn't know much about Madison, or Wisconsin, except that it was known for its cheese and farms, and if I thought about it that much it was never. But some years ago, I met the love of my life, my "cowboy" I used[...]

Often times we tend to take for granted those things immediately around us. Life becomes so hectic, we really don't have time to notice and then when we do take the time to slow down, we go somewhere else, a place different then where we are every day. Thus, it is[...]
"So much to do!" I thought as I looked upon our tiny NYC apartment and at the writing projects flooding in on my computer. I didn't want to spend a sunny day inside, working on projects and cleaning up and I could hear my two toddlers getting on each oth[...]
After the parade and before making our way home, I decided to scope out a couple of the surrounding neighborhoods in Brooklyn for potential places to live. For weeks now I have wanted to pass by my grandparent's former brownstone, the one I spent so much of my chil[...]
