Last week, Travis and I had guests in town! Travis’ sister, Chelsea, and her husband, Scott, were in New York for a wedding and we got to spend a few days hanging out with them. I love having friends and family visit because it gives me a reason to get out of the office and [...] Related posts:nyc cupcake review: Crumbs Bake Shop NYC Tourist Spectacular! weekend [ READ MORE ]
Above is a photo of my Team In Training group in the ocean at Coney Island last Saturday. (I’m smack dab in the middle in the white tank top.) That run was so much fun and also a big accomplishment for many of us. We did our long run and ended it at the beach [...] Related posts:Central Park road race Team In Training update NYC Marathon here I come! [ READ MORE ]
I have been threatening for over a year to have a party/open house at our “new” New York apartment, but the time just never seemed right… until yesterday. Travis and I finally invited our friends over for what I deemed our “Party in Park Slope.” Sounds pretty wild, right? It turned out to be a [...] Related posts:bachelorette party a little like home… butte to butte (and an anniversary) [ READ MORE ]
What a fun long weekend! June (my mother-in-law) came for a short visit from Kansas on Wednesday and we spent the weekend touring around the city. We hit many of the usual sights, like the Metropolitan Museum and Prospect Park, but we also did some new things. The main new adventure was going to see [...][ READ MORE ]
Another big craft show this weekend, but don’t worry, Swap-bot was not a sponsor. This weekend it was the Brooklyn Food and Craft Market at the Brooklyn Lyceum, which is very near our apartment. Since Travis is still stuck at home with his hurt knee, I strolled down to the Lyceum by myself to check [...][ READ MORE ]
Another snow storm hit New York yesterday and it has been snowing non-stop for the last 24 hours, at least. It is really beautiful… especially since I get to stay inside and watch it through my window! [ READ MORE ]
So… I missed my thing-a-day yesterday. To be honest, I was having a bad day. I was trying to work on Swap-bot, but I came down with a bad case of cabin fever. Plus, the Superbowl really gets on my nerves. Finally, Travis broke down and took my out to dinner at Miriam, an Israeli [...][ READ MORE ]
Above is the matchbox I made at tonight’s Etsy Craft Night. Even though it is a bit boring, I am counting it as my creative thing for today. I had a great time hosting the Craft NIght tonight. We had about 30-40 people attend during the four-hour event and everyone made amazing matchboxes. It was [...][ READ MORE ]
For my second official NYC Cupcake Review I went to my local, neighborhood bakery, Trois Pommes Patisserie. Trois Pommes is a tiny, but very cute and cozy place on 5th Ave here in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I love this bakery for its breakfast items and its good taste in coffee (Stumptown from Portland), but there [...][ READ MORE ]
I meant to do a re-cap post for each day on the day it happened… and I should have! Now it is overwhelming because Seth, Travis, and I have done SO MUCH STUFF! Be warned, this is a giant post with all the details of our touristy adventures! Monday Monday, we started with a trip to [...][ READ MORE ]
