More Visitors!

Two weeks ago, we had T.J.’s cousin and her husband visit for about four days. It was so fun to see some family again. Since Hannah had been in town just the week before, I didn’t go out and sightsee with them too much, plus they are newlyweds so I knew they would love exploring […]

Prospect Park Zoo

On August 24, T.J. and I took Eva to the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn. I was expecting it to be just as busy and crowded as the Central Park Zoo (that place was packed) so when we strolled in around noon without even waiting in a line to get a ticket, we were delightfully […]

Turning into my Mom

(Before I start: I love you mom… this is just a funny memory that has a good ending.) Growing up I could never understand how we’d ask my mom for one thing at the grocery store and she’d come home with something similar but not exact. Regular Life instead of cinnamon. Mango juice instead of […]

Fall TV Favs + Walking Dead Promo

It’s about that time of year. Yep, you guessed it. TV time. Our favorite shows are coming back in just a couple of weeks and I can’t wait. Although I’m still mourning the loss of my favorite Office group, the fall lineup will still be pretty great! The Mindy Project. I think I’m most excited about […]

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Usually when I’m on walks, I use the time to count my blessings because it’s finally a moment away from the media, entertaining Eva, or doing work. It feels good to get unplugged from the world every once in a while. And goodness knows I need that. It won’t come as a shock to you […]

A Scranton Tour

Dear Danica, One day you’re going to come visit me. Hopefully it’s this fall, so we can strut our stuff around the streets of NYC and pretend your Serena and I’m Blair from Gossip Girl. We can wear colorful wool coats and knee high boots. But Gossip Girl is not what I want to talk […]

Who Ya Gonna Call?

This week I started searching for places to see, things to do, and popular restaurants in the NYC area. I’ve been saving everything on my google maps, so when we have free times, we can just pick a star on the map and go! I really want to see as much of the city while […]

A Visit from Hannah (Tuesday)

On Tuesday, we had our day all mapped out. We were going to go to the Met, Central Park, and Serendipity 3 for their famous frozen hot chocolates. But we woke up to pouring rain and had to improvise. I wasn’t thrilled about bringing Eva into the city with all the rain, so Hannah took […]

Magnolia’s Banana Pudding Recipe

I wasn’t joking when I said Magnolia’s Banana Pudding changed my life. Okay, maybe I was a bit dramatic. But really. It’s so good. I don’t even really like pudding. Especially banana pudding. But man. This is so good. And after making my own, I know why. It is VERY fattening. But sometimes you have […]
