In New York you can be a new (wo)man!

Hello and welcome back! To my third and final blog post on NYC. I started working on a reel for our trip--still brushing up my reel skills. Stay tuned! But anyway-- our second to last morning, we started by heading over to Brooklyn for brunch.

New York Part 2

 

Not sure why I like this picture so much but I do. I think it's all the nostalgia surrounding it. We really just walked the block like three times before we stopped in this place for a drink. And it was so great. But I'm jumping ahead. I'm here (in this post) to talk about day 3 in NYC. Proceed :)

In The Greatest City.. NYC Part 1

I know.. you are probably thinking we just took a solo trip to New York. We did but then the world shut down and we did nothing for a really long time. We longed for the wonderful food, drink and entertainment that NYC had to offer and lucky us--on the week after the mask mandate was finally lifted, we were smack dab in the middle of New York! Any guesses our very first stop?

Fall Teacher Gifts

I love putting together little gifts for everyone! Especially my kiddos teachers. I'm always hunting fun little things at Target. I grabbed these little towels a month or so ago. Last week while browsing I found the spatula/cookie cutter combo and knew they would all work perfectly together! I tied them with some black/tab twine and now I just need to create the perfect little tag! Love this!

Chicken Adobo, Version 2

A couple months ago, I picked out a recipe to cook, got all the ingredients and when it was time to cook.. I totally forgot what it was.

Living Room FLIP

Version number million of our living room since moving in. Kidding.. kind of. I've blogged (i think) all the pervious versions but have taken forever putting this one together. We actually ordered a new couch in December 2020. It took until May of 2021 to come in. Then the rest of the room was kind of slow to build. Until one day-- it was done!

Encanto Sisters

Dying over these silly pictures of these little sisters. They have been planning outfits for Kate's birthday party. Kate needed a flower for her hair and Emmy requested glasses and a bag. Everything came in last weekend and they had a blast playing!

The Perfect Pancake

This past weekend, Brian tried a new pancake recipe that was fantastic. I don't know that we'll ever be boxed pancake kind of people again after this. We also joined Costco over the weekend and grabbed a big ole handle of maple syrup! This will be on rotation from here on out-- the crisp edges, the fluffy middle-- perfection!
