It took me a year to write this, and just as long to return to me

It's easy to tell someone to have confidence in their voice. But what happens when your own voice is challenged? My year of reflection.

Day trip to High Point State Park, New Jersey

The longer I live in New Jersey, the more I fall in love with all it has to offer. That's a big change from 6 years ago when living in New York and not thinking much of my neighboring state. It's been s much fun venturing out in search of new hiking trails and lear[...]

24 hours in Milan, Italy

Milan was the very first Italian city I visited 28 years ago. I had visited the country for the Christmas and New Year holidays. I remember how cold it was and often even gray, but I also remember being incredibly impressed by the stylish people, many of whom remin[...]

When you are a nature-lover, and of color, in America

Recently, I decided to take my boys out for a day of hiking. There are some short hikes around the reservation near our home here in  New Jersey, but I wanted something a bit more challenging, so we headed an hour away to Pennsylvania to explore the trails along t[...]

Family Hike along the Delaware Water Gap

As I take on this homeschooling journey with my kids, I am slowly starting to step away from the computer and getting to what we enjoy the most, which is learning through experiences and travel. What I am loving so far, besides my boys' enthusiasm and ability to go[...]

Overcoming the Unexpected in Travel

There are so many lessons I try to teach my boys when we travel. Some have to do with travel itself (always carry the essentials with you; stick to drinking water on flying days, and don't ever be afraid to ask for directions or help). Others have more to do with p[...]

Falling in love with Glacier National Park

Before I made my way to Glacier National Park, the oooh's and ahhh's and expressed envy from those whom I told about my travels made it clear that I was in for a treat. Since first setting foot in a national park in 2009, I have yet to find one I didn't love. B[...]

Nature finds for weekend fun in New Jersey

This is one of the first years we have been home all summer. We have loved it though at first it was hard. For my kids the start was bumpy because they suddenly found themselves with not much to do (I also didn't sign them up for all-summer camp!) and most of t[...]

A Visit to Acadia National Park

The National Parks are in a constant threat of abolishment, now more than ever. I can't imagine, even as someone who discovered her love for them so much later in her life, what I would do without their healing power, their ability to make me feel whole and connec[...]

Is a day enough to really experience Massachusetts Is a day enough to really experience Massachusetts’ Berkshire County? Not even close. But if you needed a quick little fix of mountain air, a day trip will do. 

Here were my stops on this 24 hour jaunt to the Berkshires:

📍Coffee and a morning bite at @wanderberkshires in Pittsfield, MA
📍@themountlenox author Edith Wharton’s home, for forest strolling, sculpture and flower garden admiring, and summer cottage touring - and for a light lunch in Lenox, MA. 
📍Mount Greylock for a drive up to Massachusetts’ highest point (at 3,489 feet) and some epic views.
📍Dinner and drinks at @touristswelcome in North Adams. 
📍Sunset views from Pontoosuc Lake near Pittsfield, MA.

Sunday mood is all about recentering, refocusing, Sunday mood is all about recentering, refocusing, and protecting your peace. It’s alright to care, stay informed, get involved AND still carve out moments for self care, however that looks like for you. ❤️
Summer isn’t complete without a visit to @spotte Summer isn’t complete without a visit to @spotted_duck_flx in Penn Yan, NY. 

Here you can get frozen custard made from duck eggs, and they also have some dairy free options which are lovely as well. 

It can get busy, especially since being named the best ice cream in New York State, so expect long lines during high tourist seasons. But you can also get lucky, as we did, and experience a mellow visit surrounded by cute ducks and chickens and the serenity of farm country living. 

Worth the visit either way.

Nothing like starting the day with a solid cup of Nothing like starting the day with a solid cup of coffee. Before an early morning shoot, we stopped at @gimmecoffee in Ithaca, NY for a delicious pick me up.

A staple in the Ithaca community, with many shops throughout and founded in 2000, this iconic coffee brand is merits all the praise for it’s consistency in quality and service. Never disappoints. ☕️
