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[...]

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[...]

Three beautiful days in Brescia, Italy

What my family vacation in Italy helped me remember

I am back! I planned on only taking two weeks off from blogging, but that turned more into three. After my beautiful sister's wedding and our road trip through Italy (thanks to those who followed us on social media!), my sister came into town for a few days more af[...]

After the rain, this is the sound as the sun sets: After the rain, this is the sound as the sun sets: the song of what seems to be a thousand peepers and the water rushing from the glen down the 100 foot waterfall right in front of our little country cottage. 

As much as I still love the noise of my NYC, this wasn’t a bad trade off. ❤️

Come with me to admire the snow melt rushing throu Come with me to admire the snow melt rushing through the little glen that runs next to our little country cottage. 

Now is the perfect time to visit the Finger Lakes if you enjoy waterfalls. Through mud season and again during the rainy days of fall these waterways are the most active and beautiful. 

One of the many reasons we love our home in this stunning region.

I recently joined in on a Black History Month cele I recently joined in on a Black History Month celebration led by @_nykitchen (Canandaigua) and their very own examples of Black excellence: Sommelier Shomari Smoak (@winewithsmoak ), Chef Eli Tate, and Wine Writer Maiah Johnson Dunn (@thisismaiah).

Chef Eli’s crispiest of crisp fried chicken, saucy ribs, mac & cheese, crazy delicious collard greens, and cornbread was paired with five incredible Black-owned or made wines, all hand selected by Maiah and Shomari. 

For dessert, we had a special treat made by Rochester’s Pound Cakes by Pastor. 

We also got to learn about Black History in the Finger Lakes, including about Fedderman Wine Co., founded in 1972 by Raymond Fedderman in Prattsburgh, NY, recognized as one of the first Black-owned commercial wineries in the U.S.. and the FIRST in New York State!! He was known for his sweet wines like “Irene Red” and “Rosalind White”.

The Finger Lakes is rich in Black History, and luckily New York Kitchen often hosts events beyond just this one month to share the wealth that Black excellence has contributed to the region and beyond. Visit their website for more upcoming events!

Enjoyed an incredible meal at @albadawi.nyc, a Michelin Guide-featured Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn Heights with Tim Robbins and his partner dining in the table next to us. But as a true blue New Yorker, you keep your cool and take in the magic of life in this amazing city.
