It’s Thursday and I’m finally starting to get over the sadness I always feel after my parents leave. That’s because I’m now only nine weeks away from their next visit! With lots of weddings (including one where I’ll be with them) in the middle, the time will fly by. This visit felt particularly short since…

The Museum of the Moving Image has been around since 1988, but people kind of forgot about it. I didn’t even know it existed until I read about it’s big renovation and re-opening a couple years ago. Since then, it’s been viewed in NYC as the museum to check out, but I had just never…

I made it through a very busy weekend only to realize I have plenty of plans lined up for the upcoming weekends. Everything I’m doing is very Fall, and I love taking advantage of the season. Everyone is gearing up for Hallween, even the delivery trucks! I recently discovered Charming Charlie via a favorite blog,…

As of last weekend, we are done with weddings in 2014. I have loved each and every one, but I’m kind of excited to have some more low key weekends on the horizon. That said, my weekends seem to be filling up pretty fast… In celebration of the brand new Lego store in Flatiron, Madison…
