Happy Monday, friends! It seems like we were cheers’ing the weekend a mere five minutes ago, doesn’t it? And now, here we are — back to our Monday routines. In the interest of keeping the weekend going a few minutes…
Monday Mantra: Seeing the Light
What a difference a month makes. I’ve been keeping a little secret from you, my dear readers. It’s not that I didn’t want to share, but rather I didn’t know how. The last month has been a trying time for…
Finally Friday
TGIF! From getting a new stove delivered that couldn’t be hooked up properly to learning the fate of my beloved Dowling College, this has been one heck of a week. I know I often talk about catching up on rest…
A Stroll Through Nature
I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend and feel ready to tackle the (short!) week ahead. I have to admit, the last few weeks have not been the best for me. I’ve felt anxious, overwhelmed, and just not like…

Touring Eastern State Penitentiary
I know a lot of you commented and expressed interest in seeing photos from my visit to Eastern State Penitentiary. Here they are, along with a history lesson. I’m not sure where my fascination with touring abandoned prisons comes from….
Philly Photos
Happy Monday! I hope that you all had a good Easter and the Easter bunny treated you well. I happily indulged in my favorite treat, Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, and am thrilled to report that the pack of six lasted…
Spring Snaps
Now that it is officially spring I have high expectations when it comes to weather. I’m more than ready to ditch the winter coat and live in a blazer until the really hot days arrive in June. But Mother Nature…
