25 days of christmas in the city

It's another daily photo project! Since coming back from Africa and being immediately thrown into the New York City Christmas scene, I have been overwhelmed and overjoyed by the most wonderful time of the year. It is beautiful everywhere: Christmas trees, wreaths, lights...and I've decided to capture that beauty and share it. For the next 25 days in December, I'll post my favorite Christmas scene from the city.

Today's photo will be coming later tonight, check back!

happy halloween!


























The crazies were out in NYC today! I saw one man (and by man, I mean at least my age or older) in a full-out Buzz Lightyear costume at lunch today. Even if I don't get into Halloween, it sure is a fun holiday to observe!

happy 4th of july!!!


I wish this was me on the 4th of July...but alas, it is not and I swiped it from here. Happy Independence Day, anyway!! I'm off for a day trip to Cold Spring to hike Breakneck Ridge, and will hopefully find a nice place to perch and watch the fireworks tonight. If not, I guess I'll be back in the mob trying my hand at fighting the crowds along the river. Either way, I've got a fun day in store!

4th of july craft

Design*Sponge posted this photo with a link to the tutorial on how to make this cute little 4th of July DIY craft with paint chips. It's so cute & easy... and free (which is the best part)! If I was having a party this independence day, I certainly would be adorning my walls with this. So maybe next year... but in the meantime, check it out!

I just got finished celebrating Cinco de Mayo at a "Bring Your Own Chipotle" party at my apartment. What a brilliant - and delicious - idea! We ended up with more guacamole than we could eat... which is never really a bad thing.


Happy Cinco de Mayo!
