A Lazy Afternoon on the Upper East Side

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[...]

A Spring afternoon in Washington Heights

"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[...]

Hubby and I recently had a lovely brunch experienc Hubby and I recently had a lovely brunch experience near our beautiful home in Finger Lakes Wine Country.

We headed to @burntrosewinebar, on Main St. in Penn Yan NY.

I absolutely love the aesthetics and vibes of this restaurant, owned by Rose Curry, a sommelier, and her husband, Chet Thompson, a classically-trained chef.

Their field-to-table, seasonal menu is elevated, eclectic, sophisticated, but also approachable and delicious. It celebrates the cultural flavors of Rose’s Mexican roots and features Chet’s culinary talent beautifully. 

If on the menu, you absolutely must try their Mole dusted burrata topped with toasted pepitas & pumpkin seed oil, and Chef’s Jammy Egg, which is a cured egg served sun-dried tomato and their house-made basil pesto. 

They have a wine list featuring the best of the Finger Lakes, though my absolute obsession is their spiced apple and caramel Mimosa! 

The entire experience is addicting…and if you can’t get enough, they also co-own the @the18thamendment.py  right next door on Main St., another example of the growing food scene in the Finger Lakes!

Reservations are highly recommended.

Hubby took this photo of me, and I kinda love it, Hubby took this photo of me, and I kinda love it, though photos or videos of me are not really my favorite. 

I like that it shows me genuinely happy in this moment. I like that it shows how far I’ve come in life….in years. 

And thinking of what I have already accomplished, in the years I have lived so far, makes whatever were wasted moments feel smaller over time. And that feels lucky. 

I spend so much time capturing the joy of others and feel loved to have someone capture a moment in joy of me. Thanks, @travisjcain, for seeing me with so much love.
