Wordless Wednesday: National Running Day

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 4, 2014| 5 Comments »

Today is National Running Day so even though I was feeling a little sluggish, I laced up the sneakers met up with some of my favorite running gals and headed to Central Park. I am incredibly fortunate to call Central Park my training ground. Its beauty in all the seasons is stunning. The views NEVER get old and I promise to never take the fact that I can run here for granted. Today, I will share some pics with you that I took during our running route. We ran at a very leisurely pace on this hot and humid day, we allotted time for pictures, water breaks and even headed over to the New York Road Runners Club to pick up our National Running Day bibs and bandanas. It was perfect. I feel so very fortunate to be able to run with a group of fabulous women on one of the best running courses in the world. I run to be healthy, strong, fierce, the beast mom, for my sanity, to spend time with my friends, for coffee time afterwards and of course, for cupcakes 😉 Happy Wednesday everyone and Happy Running!!!

Wordless Wednesday: Memorial Day Weekend in the City

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 28, 2014| Leave a Comment »

We had a great Memorial Day weekend in the City. Ron has been working crazy hours and the kids and I are busy with end of year activities and beginning of summer planning. So, what our family needed was just a weekend where we had absolutely no plans at all. It was perfect. We explored the Lower East Side, had a cupcake at our favorite spot in the city- Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery, checked out the treats in Economy Candy, visited street fairs, played at playgrounds that were outside of our normal ‘hood, saw the sights, had family movie and game night, finally ate at Bar BACON (beyond fantastic!!) and even managed to squeeze in a viewing of X-Men: Days of Future Past. A GREAT family weekend. I am including some of my favorite pics. Hope you enjoy them, have a very HAPPY Wednesday and a wonderful week =)

Wordless Wednesday: Taking a Day

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , on May 14, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Alright, I am waving a little white flag today. My allergies are kicking my butt, my head hurts and I haven’t slept well in the past few nights. I am tired. I am giving myself permission to “take a day”. Who am I kidding? I am actually giving myself a couple of hours. I have already got both girls up and ready for school, gone to a 7am Girls on the Run practice, a killer Soul Cycle class, ran a few errands, walked the dog and put in some laundry but now I am done. I am giving myself permission to chill out on the couch for a few hours before R’s baseball practice and picking up A from rehearsal and homework and dinner and… I know I will still feel a little guilty but I need it, so I am taking it. I am going to read my book, watch some crappy t.v. or maybe I will just nap. So, shhh… Happy Wednesday, hope your day is wonderful and I really, really, really hope you find some time for you! xoxo

Wordless Wednesday: Celebrating Awesomeness!!

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on May 7, 2014| Leave a Comment »

This week is teacher appreciation week so it is fitting that today I had the opportunity to be a part of a Soul Cycle birthday celebration ride for one of our amazing and awesome teachers- Casey!!! We have been incredibly fortunate to have teachers that go above and beyond this year. Their awesomeness shines through in their love for the students, their creativity in the classroom and the positive energy that they generate throughout the school. It was so much fun sharing a little bit of love on the bike today for such a fabulous rockstar. Happy Birthday Casey and thank you to both you and Yuna!!!!! We appreciate you each and every day!

Wordless Wednesday: Starting to Bloom…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , on April 23, 2014| Leave a Comment »

The girls and I had a fantastic week in Ottawa, it was great to re-connect with old friends and spend some time visiting some of our old haunts. But, I have to admit that I am very happy to be back in NYC where the weather is a little bit warmer and spring is well on its way. I love seeing the flowers sprouting up all around the city and shades of green in contrast with the concrete grey. Central Park is stunning right now. Allergies aside, it is wonderful to just get outside and really enjoy the warmth after such a long dreary winter. Here are some pics from the past few days. I hope you enjoy them. I am getting out the camera and will definitely be exploring the city in all of its spring glory. Happy Wednesday!!

Wordless Wednesday: Sucrerie de la Montagne (Visit to the Sugar Shack)

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 16, 2014| 2 Comments »

The girls and I are having a blast spending Spring Break in Ottawa. Weather aside- snow in the middle of April!!!!, it has definitely been a trip down memory lane. The girls have not been back in almost three years and it is wonderful to watch their reactions and share experiences with them. We have visited the Canadian Museum of History, a place where we spent tons of hours passing time when they were little, a wave pool (something we do not have in NYC) and today a maple sugar shack in Quebec.

The Sucrerie de la Montagne is in Rigaud, Quebec. It is an old school maple sugar shack where they tap the trees without lines and bake bread in a monster brick oven. It is in a gorgeous location up in a mountain and is exactly the escape that we needed. After a tour of the facilities we ate a family style feast of pea soup, fresh bread, sausage, bacon, meat pie, ham, egg souffle, mashed potatoes and beans. For dessert there were pancakes with maple syrup and maple sugar pie. I probably should have run home 😉 We had a great time and may have bought a few treats to take back to the city.

Hope you enjoy the pics. I have to go and rest up for more eating and a trip to the sky zone (?!)
Happy Wednesday!! Here’s hoping Spring weather comes back for the break!

Wordless Wednesday: Sunshine and Easter Eggs

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 9, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Today is an absolutely gorgeous spring day in NYC. The sun is shining, temperatures are climbing, patios are opening, warm jackets are being shed and people are smiling. It is wonderful. So good for the soul. It was also a perfect day to head out and get a little bit of spring shopping done. I cleaned out the closets yesterday, so I deserve it, right??!! The first thing on my list, believe it or not, was new running sneakers. So my friend Jess and I snuck in a fabulous brunch at The Smith and then headed to the New York Running Company in The Shops at Columbus Circle at the Time Warner Center. And while at the Columbus Circle shops we may have done some damage at a few other stores, shhh….

While at the Time Warner Center we happened upon a collection of eggs from the Faberge Big Egg Hunt. This egg hunt is currently going on in NYC and there are hundreds of eggs hidden all over the city. People are trying to find them all and of course there is fabulous faberge jewelry to be won. Today, under blue skies and heavenly sun, the eggs looked stunning. I took some pics. Hope you enjoy them and find some time to grab your own piece of sunshine!

Happy Wednesday!!!

Wordless Wednesday: Hello April!

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on April 2, 2014| 2 Comments »

Whoa… March certainly did come in like a lion, unfortunately it left like a lion too… so what the hell does that mean? Longest winter ever.

So, it was wonderful to wake up to the most beautiful April 1st yesterday. It really was like a breath of fresh air. March was also an incredibly intense and hectic month so I am very much looking forward to an April with a less crazy pace (hopefully) and enjoying some (hopefully) really wonderful spring like weather. Today it is cool and gloomy outside but I have decided to ignore it and post some fun spring-like pics. Hope you enjoy them… especially the one of the alligator in the Hudson River… just kidding although the piece of wood did give me pause to look twice. You never really know what you are going to see floating in the river, sometimes you don’t want to look toooo closely 😉

Happy Wednesday my friends, keep smiling! xox

Wordless Wednesday: The View From The Couch

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , on March 19, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Today I am home with a sick little one and I don’t really mind at all. I don’t like it when my kids are sick, it stinks to see them feeling crummy. But, every once in awhile it is nice to have an excuse to slow down, sit on the couch and snuggle. After a crazy couple of weeks with an even crazier couple on the way, I am quite happy to park my rump on this mid week hump 😉 Hope you are all hanging in and staying healthy. Be nice to yourself. Happy Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday: The Polar Vortex of Negativity

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on March 5, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Can I get a “wooosaaa”?! Some days you just wake up and the world is bugging you. I admit I was a little cranky this morning and am trying to shake it off. Yes, it is still winter, the “to do” list is long, it is not all sunshine and lollipops and blah, blah, blah… etc, etc, etc. We all know what life is like. But, I decided to just breathe a bit and focus on the positive- the sun is trying to come out, the temps are climbing above freezing, there was no line at Trader Joe’s- the simple things. What is hard, is to not get sucked into the polar vortex of negativity created by other people- an email received, a nasty person on the street, a rude look… Trying to remind myself to as Adele Dazim 😉 (Idina Menzel) would say “Let it Go…”. And on some days this takes a little more effort.

I was looking up inspirational type quotes and came across this and just like that the day looked a bit brighter 😉

Funny-inspirational-2014-quote

Hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! Wishing all the negative people a little sunshine in their lives or at least a little Star Wars humor.
