Life, or Something Like It

I suddenly looked at the calendar the other day and realized we were nearly through July... how did that happen?! Summer is my favorite season by far, but August has always been bittersweet for me because while it's still warm, it reminds me that my favorite two months are behind us and won't be back for a long while. Back in the college days, August always meant Bed Bath & Beyond, packing up, and leaving New York but now that I'm an "adult" (or so they tell me) August is less final, and more of a continuation of summer. Moral of the story- summer is flying by way too quickly and I'm going to do my darndest to embrace...

There's No Place Like Home

The Summer is by far my favorite season. Warmer temperatures, cuter clothes, longer days, better food, no need for a jacket and endless weekend possibilities. As an avid swimmer and self-proclaimed sun worshiper, the Summer is my happy place. Over the last few weeks I've been taking full advantage of my favorite season with a weekend trip to Fire Island, and most recently, a phenomenal overnight trip to Westchester with my PIC. For those of you who know me, you know what Fire Island means to me. I grew up spending one full month each...

Let them Eat Cake

To say it's been a busy few weeks would not even come close to describing the mania of my life. Between moving, trying to do as much baking as possible, traveling for the 4th of July and my moms birthday, work being beyond crazy...I've barely had time to sleep (not joking) let alone anything else. Amidst all of the craziness though, some amazing cakes have gone out my doors and what better way to kick off thursday than to share them?! First, there was my grandparents anniversary cake. A few weeks ago my grandparents celebrated 65 years...

A picture's worth a thousand words

Morning mom followers. The moment you've all been waiting for has finally arrived. The big apartment reveal! We're in love with how it's turned out as well as with our FANTASTIC new neighborhood. We are so happy to be here, quite proud of our decorating skills, and in desperate need of things to fill our built in shelves (hint hint). Enjoy! Building entrance. Don't mind if we do!                                   Entryway...

If you need me, I'll be in the unloading zone.

Sorry for the extended absence dedicated blogobites. It's been a crazy week and a half. The fun kicked off last Thursday when the PIC and I started out for our new abode. Paint cans, mops, brooms, gloves, and keys in hand ready to tackle whatever we encountered, +95 degree heat and we were very excited! 8 hours later we emerged sweaty, tired and in desperate need of showers but the place was definitely sparkling. The night continued with packing up the our entire old apartment, throwing away about 15 black trash bags worth of who knows what, disassembling furniture, dust busting dust bunnies bigger than me and finding things...
