My husband visited New York when he was in high school but the kids and I have never been. I like hearing about all the great places to visit, though. As you can probably imagine, there is so much to do! I have a {very long} running list of fantastic places to see and/or eat from so when I get the chance to visit, I know where I’ll go! ...

Prepare Your Vehicle for the Summer Months
The weather here already has a 'feels-like' of over 100 degrees. If I had it my way, I'd shelter indoors until fall! Unfortunately, that's just not an option.

Make Decorating Easy with Fathead Wall Decals [AD] #PeelStickDone
My decorating style is traditional with a patriotic accents. Other than adding a few family photo frames in the hall, my home has been basically the same for as long as we've lived here. I'm not a huge fan of change but I've been growing tired of looking at the same things on my walls. I didn't think wall decals would work in our house ...

Twist N’ Dip at Einstein Bros Bagels #TwistNDip
**Full Disclosure: I received an Einstein Bros Bagels gift card to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own. Not that long ago I went through a phase where I'd buy a package of bagels at the grocery store and eat one every day for breakfast.

My son's school hosts a cookie exchange for teachers. The PTA asks parents/students to make 3 dozen cookies and send them in on a certain day during Teacher Appreciation Week. After the cookies are received, they are spread out on a table or two and teachers are given bags to fill with their favorites. It's such a fun occasion!! I like crinkle ...
