4th of July

Earlier this week I was thinking about where we were one year ago, two years ago, three years ago on 4th of July… I got all the way back to ten years but it got more and more vague as each year passed. I really wish I would have kept a journal or a blog […]

Mermaid Parade

On Saturday, we decided to head out to Coney Island (about an hour subway ride away) for the Mermaid Parade. We got on the subway in Manhattan and it was full of people dressed up as mermaids-so we knew we were heading in the right direction. There were some people that had amazing costumes-very creative […]

Newport Green

I think I’ve told you all about this place before, but here are some more pictures from this week at the Newport Green-the beach and park near our apartment. My only wish is that the water at the splash pad (not shown) wasn’t freezing.

Liebster Award via Black with a Chance of Cheetah

Danica from Black with a Chance of Cheetah tagged me in the Liebster Award. She described it as: “Liebster” means dearest in German, and it’s awarded, blogger to blogger, to up-and-coming blogs with less than 200 followers.  The rules for accepting and giving the award are pretty simple.  Once you accept the award, you just […]

Dinner on the Hudson

On Thursday night, Eva and I headed to Chelsea (the area where T.J. works in Manhattan) to meet T.J. after work with a picnic. We found a beautiful place right on the river and watched the boats go by with the Statue of Liberty in the distance. After dinner, we ran around the park with […]

Central Park Zoo

Last Saturday, we spent the afternoon at the Central Park Zoo. Although it was on the pricey side, going to a zoo in the middle of the city is pretty cool. Unfortunately, the majority of the bigger animals were not out. But we did get to see penguins (which Eva went crazy over… I don’t […]

BBQ Ribs (Crock Pot Style)

Last Sunday was not only Father’s Day in our house, but also T.J.’s birthday. I wanted to make it special since they were on the same day, so I decided to cook some BBQ ribs. I’ve never attempted cooking ribs before, but I found a recipe by Six Sisters’ Stuff  that cooked them in the […]

18 Months

Eva turned 18 months on June 8th. Can you believe it? It just keeps getting better and better. She is such a joy to be around and is quite the character. At our church, once a toddler is one and a half, they can go to nursery for the last two hours of church. We […]

Quick Trip to DC

It’s been about 15 years since I’ve lived near by sister Mary Beth-so to have her and her family just be a bus ride away from us here in New Jersey-it’s really amazing. That being said, Eva and I had a quick trip to Virginia to visit them. We weren’t there for too long, but […]

Our Week

This week went so quickly. And considering it rained for the majority of the time, Eva and I still got out and had a lot of fun. On Tuesday, we had a couple of hours without rain, so Eva and I went on a little walk/jog on the river path to Hoboken. We then made […]
