London’s Portobello Road is an awesome place to visit. It runs approximately 2 miles from end to end and is comprised mainly of quaint vintage and antique stores and vendors.

Hope you had a great weekend! I didn’t get a chance to really hang out in the garage as I had planned; however, I started brainstorming a few fabric design ideas that have been rattling around in my head. Since I can’t find the right fabric to complete a few unfinished projects, I figured why [...]
I decided to repot my plant, one of the easier tasks on my list for the “Ten Task in Ten Day Challenge” over at The Shabby Chic Cottage. Here’s why. After taking No. 2 son to school (June 28 is the last day), I headed to the PTA office to finish up my Treasurer responsibilities [...]

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. What is the connection between this picture memory and the song “My Best Days [...]
The other day I was taking my son to school and I was taken back by nature’s beauty. As I was leaving his school, I happened to look down and saw these pearlescent petals that had blown to the ground from a nearby tree. They were glistening in the sunlight. A block from my home, [...]
Since it’s Tuesday and my first post for the week, I hope you had a nice weekend. The weather was beautiful here in New York and I hope the same for you as well. And for those of you who observe Easter and Passover, I hope your holiday plans transitioned into beautiful memories that you [...]
