Yes that would be me jumping Double Dutch with some of my mom friends. During this mom’s only gathering at my house, we jumped rope, played games, stuffed our faces and forgot about our everyday life responsibilities for a few hours.

Viewing the store windows in Manhattan has turned into a tradition in our family. We usually drive in early [...]
Wishing you a wonderful holiday filled with wonderful memories and bright new beginnings in the New Year. Enjoy!
