We had a few 60-degree days this week! Forget my mood – it’s amazing what that does to my entire outlook on life! Could spring be on the way? Officially? My allergies are super annoying right now, but it feels like a small price to pay. I have felt extra motivated lately. I’m reading a ton and have pushed myself to get into a workout routine. My big birthday will be here before we know it, and I am determined to look hot and crop top ready for whatever celebration I end up planning.

Do not sleep on the children’s museum area at The Met. Finn had a blast two weekends ago and the spare 30 minutes we had before our time slot was the perfect amount of time to introduce him to the more mature, “real” museum. Had the day been warmer, we could have also hit up the playground next door or picnicked in Central Park. Instead, we made our way up Madison Ave. for a candy pit stop and lunch before nap time. It was a great Sunday morning.

I’m finally making good on my goal to learn mahjong. I’ve completed two intensive lessons and am ready to start playing! I totally get the appeal. It’s fast paced, requires some brain cells, and is highly interactive. I hope to find a group of my own and can’t wait talk to my La La about her years playing the game.

On Saturday, we went on a double date with our neighbors. With a little time to kill before we were due to meet, we decided to hang – just the two of us – at a favorite bar, where I got a favorite cocktail. I love that we spent the whole evening in our own neighborhood, visiting our special little local spots.
