Wave Hill: A Nature Haven Amidst The Concrete Jungle

Recently, a darling friend invited me to join her on a little play date excursion to the Bronx.  I know you're thinking, "Why the Bronx?". But really, if you haven't discovered all the Bronx has to offer, than you are truly missing out. Because among many things,[...]

Spring, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter Egg Hunts, & Other Reasons to Love NYC with Kids

Ah, Spring. At least that's what it's feeling like today in New York City. The boys and I set out to enjoy a few hours outside, after what seemed months of hibernation or enduring the cold. As my kids ran and laughed and played with the other kids, and I mingled a[...]

Ice Skating in The Pond, Bryant Park, NY

New York Hall of Science, Corona, Queens, NY

It's a beautiful, yet very cold day here in New York City.  On days like these many parents are going a little crazy trying to figure out what to do with their kids. I have a few "inside" favorites, like the The Brooklyn's Children Museum, the American Museum of N[...]

Christmas Tree Hunting at Hahn Farm, Salt Point, NY

I am in heaven. Thanksgiving came and went, and that in itself was an awesome time for our little family unit. But what I love the most right after Thanksgiving is going to a Christmas tree farm, searching for that one special tree, cutting it down, and bringing it[...]

Apple Picking at Pennings Orchard, Warwick, NY

Last weekend the family and I wanted to take advantage of a beautiful just-beginning-of-Fall Sunday, so we headed about an hour North of New York City to go apple picking. Normally we would wait till much later, but this year I think I actually am a bit more organ[...]

Winter afternoon in the Bronx Zoo, NY

"I wanna see wuaneemos, mama." said my 3 year old. I hear this from him at least once a day, every day.  The animals he is so eager to see are the ones he has seen many times before at the Bronx Zoo. Before I had children and even when I just had one, living[...]

24 hours of Josie 🐾 have been such a joy as she 24 hours of Josie 🐾 have been such a joy as she has already proven to be every bit of the cuddly, playful, curious, gentle doggie we knew she would be. Will she be put outside to guard livestock? No. She is far more likely to be on the couch getting belly rubs and watching TV with us, or going for long walks in the park or around our country cottage, or falling asleep in her cushy bed.
I’d like to introduce you to the newest member o I’d like to introduce you to the newest member of our family: Josie 🐾  She is a 2 year old Great Pyrenees mix - yes, I know, completely opposite from our previous fur babies. She loves cuddles and scratches, walks, and kisses. She also seemingly loves #Survivalofthethickest and her new bed. 

We are teaching her to do more than just sit on command, and have yet to hear her bark, though based on her in-take form at the shelter, she will at the mailman. 

Thank you to everyone at @schuylercountyhumane for connecting us with this sweet angel. We are going to shower her with all the love. 💕 Support your local humane society.
Oh, Mother Earth. I am so sorry we keep causing yo Oh, Mother Earth. I am so sorry we keep causing you so much harm. Hoping for the safety of our Canadian neighbors.
