It’s so hard to believe that we have less than 15 days to go until the holidays! I’ve been on the fence about putting up a Christmas tree this year, and as much as I wanted to keep this tradition…
Farm Life, Festivals, and Fall Vibes
This past weekend, I took full advantage of the extra day off and the beautiful weather, and in addition to using the time wisely to tackle my to-do list, I also took some time to do a few things that…
Scenes from the Summer…So Far!
To say that this summer has gotten away from me would be an understatement. But I’m determined to make the most of the beautiful weather that we have ahead of us. So, according to some snaps in my phone, here’s…
Memory Lane
Yesterday, I took a trip down to Long Beach, NY, a town that holds a lot of memories for me. Growing up on the South Shore of Long Island in Oceanside, summer beach days in Long Beach were a weekly…
Fourth of July Plans

Day Trip: Ocean Beach, Fire Island
For me, one of the perks of living on Long Island is the proximity to the Hamptons and Fire Island. As a child, I spent plenty of time on this 32-mile long barrier island facing the Atlantic Ocean. Summers usually…
