As Father's Day approaches I could gush about how great my dad is (and he is amazing) but that wouldn't be any fun! What would be more fun is to share some of the childhood experiences that have scarred me for life and cost me thousands in therapy. There are so many but I narrowed it down to five. 1. In Lake George, NY there was an amusement park, Magic Forest, off Route 9, that we drove by … [Read more...] about Father’s Day 2019

Confessions of a Tourist
A few weeks ago for Spring Break, we took a lovely trip to Kiawah Island and Charleston in South Carolina. The entire trip was wonderful, relaxing and fun. I would highly recommend the places we stayed plus the tour we took in Charleston. So, this blog could be a recommendation on places to stay and things to do but it is not.

Mother’s Day 2019
As another Mother's Day 2019 rolls around, I am excited to spend the day with my boys. As a young girl, I was never one to say "When I grow up, I want to have kids." which is maybe why even all these years later (almost 16) I am in awe that the kids I have are mine. I have mentioned before while I like the "big" moments with my kids, my favorite ones are the smaller more personal ones. The … [Read more...] about Mother’s Day 2019

The Gap + The Minimum Wage & Me
I was sad to hear that the Gap is closing 200 stores in the next two years. In fact, I am sad in general to see so many brick and mortar stores close. In New York City, 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue are filled with empty storefronts. The once beautiful window displays are replaced with paper covering the windows with notices of lease info. When I was in high school I drove about 20 minutes … [Read more...] about The Gap + The Minimum Wage & Me
Target and Mindfulness
So, I am sharing this story in hopes that someone else can relate. My best guess is most of us have been to Target and have not really been mindful of what we are buying finding humor in the posts on Facebook and Instagram with the following: Target Cashier: "Did you find everything you need?" Me: "I didn't need any of this!" or Me pushing my cart to the check out with what I feel … [Read more...] about Target and Mindfulness
