Down the Rabbit Hole - It was taken in 2009 when M and I did our big European adventure. Before we had kids and before I was so active on his blog. I wish I had been more active, wish i had had a better documentation on the trip. I remember having taken notes on a piece of paper somewhere.. jotting down where we ate etc.. Now if only i knew where that piece of paper was! A simple oblong staircase in the Vatican Museum. I liked the simplicity of it. It was more modern and less fancy than the more famous staircase of the Vatican Museum. While people were all over the latter, the former staircase, my subject matter was left alone, not a sole insight. Down the Rabbit Hole can be purchase here Your walls not ready for some art?

Continuing with our Memorial Day weekend recap.. while we spent Friday in New York  we chilled out at home on Saturday running errands, playing in the backyard.. On Sunday we headed to the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. one of my favorite things about living in New Jersey is our proximity to so many major cities.   The last time we were there D was two and a half years old and he had had a blast.. It was so interesting to watch D there now and little H navigating his way through the museum his first time.     D now and then After the museum we were meeting up with my cousin and his wife for dinner.. but we were done a little earlier than planned and had an extra hour to kill so we headed to the nearby Smith Memorial Playground which we had visited earlier last year and had loved. another now and then last time the park had been almost empty.. this time the park was over flowing with people.. the day was hot and after...

This year we had a great memorial day weekend.. the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.. the only thing lacking was sleeping in.. but we haven't slept in in over five years so we know better than to expect that! M worked from home on Friday and right after lunch we piled into the car just before nap time and headed to New York City. The destination was the High Line Park and the Chelsea Market .. after living so close to the city for over seven years we realized there is so much of the city we haven't yet explored.. in fact I sometimes think we have barely seen it at all.. so from now on we hope to venture into a new part of the city every time.. so for my New York readers.. tell me where should we explore next? I had wanted to visit the High Line Park ever since I had heard of it.. and for those who haven't heard of it the park is an elevated linear urban space converted from an old and unused railway. And the Chelsea Market.. once the Nabisco Factory.. where ...

We have been having some crazy weekends.. day trips and birthday party preperations.. so much to share with you but before I get into all that.. I was recently introduced to a new subscription box called Sockwork: Socks With a Purpose.. it is the brainchild of Mario and Tina who both hold our veteran's very close to their hearts and decided to create a business that not only kept your feet looking good and warm but also helped the many veteran charities out there. Every month they send you two cool pairs of socks and 10% of their profits go to a different veteran charity. You can read more about them and what they are all about here . We received our socks in the mail a few days ago :) The socks come wrapped in tissue with a sweet mint to eat while you read the included note telling you about the great charity they are donating to that month. While they are currently in the process of launching their very own sock line, at present all their socks are designed in Californi...

Discovery - Inside the intriguing Howe Caverns, in Upstate New York. We visited these caverns on our first road trip with D. You can check out more of our trip here.  Geologists believe that the formation of the cave, which lies 156 feet below ground, began several million years ago. Composed mainly of limestone deposited hundreds of millions of years ago when the Atlantic Ocean stretched far inland, the cave contains a lake called the Lake of Venus. This is a sepia toned photograph of stacked jagged edge stones. To purchase Discovery  click here . Available in multiple sizes.  Get my post directly in you inbox with  Bloglovin I am now on Instagram ..
