Summers in Lake George: Unplugged

I needed to unplug and be with my family. My oldest wasn't able to join us, so in a way, the pictures in this series, which I call "Unplugged," aren't complete. However, they still captured the perfection of what happens when we have no other distractions and nothi[...]

Along the Hudson Valley and about an hour and a half from New York City (with no traffic) is the city of Newburgh, NY. To see it on its surface, one might see what most people refer to as "up and coming". However, look deeper and you will see a historic city, with[...]

Making Memories at Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park

No matter what I do throughout the year, I always make time to be home for the holidays and that's because this time of year in New York City is my absolute favorite. Yes, it's cold, and yes, it's crowded, but man oh man, is it festive, fun, and awesome.read more[...]

Fall Foliage in New Jersey

When I was 8 years old, my parents and I moved out of the city for a bit and into the suburbs of Teaneck, NJ. After school I would walk home on my own, often taking my time because I had a crush on a boy named Andrew who seemed to move as slow as molasses and with[...]

Return to Governors Island

It has been two years. Two years since we have been to Governors Island. I don't know why. Maybe because the last time we went it was so pathetically crowded (it was the opening day for the season after all), that I lost interest in going back, despite the great ti[...]

Today’s morning was fueled by one of our fave sp Today’s morning was fueled by one of our fave spots in Geneva, NY - @monacoscoffee. We found this spot a few years ago, before we moved to the area full time while at a rental nearby and immediately fell in love with its community and cozy vibe, and delicious coffee. 

It’s even cuter than when we first visited while all the reasons we love it remain. Always worth a stop when in Geneva.
