Oh sh–
My oldest was about 1 year old, standing in his play pen, when we he dropped a toy and uttered his first string of words, "Oh shiiiiiiiiit."

Well, it’s been a YEAR
I was going to make a post about how this last year has sucked because of COVID, but let's be honest. It sucked for everyone, more so for others.

An Engagement Shoot by the Bay
So much excitement! My little sister-in-law got engaged a few months ago to a very awesome guy, and we are all so very happy for them! Since they are getting married in the fall, we decided to take their engagement photos in the fall as well, and since they got engaged in November, we had to rush to make sure we didn’t get naked trees LOL. They wanted to take their photos in beautiful Northport Harbor, and I think the photos came out gorgeous! But, I could be biased since I took them. ((Some links may be affiliate links. I may get paid if you buy something or take an…

Driving to the Most Magical Place on Earth
I will be honest. The drive from New York to Disney World is a looooong one. BUT! It was not bad at all considering we were with a toddler and preschooler. Even my hubs, who drove the whole way, said that while it was boring for him, it was not terrible. Before the trip, we kept reminding our littles that we are going to Disney, but that we will be in the car for a couple of days to get there. Luckily, they are used to long drives, as we generally take about a 6 hour drive upstate every summer, but obviously this one was going to be a lot…

The Most Magical Place on Earth
IT IS TIME FOR MY DISNEY WORLD POST! Last year, we were lucky enough to take our boys to Disney for the first time! Everyone was pretty excited about it, but I think I was most excited lol. I have always loved Disney, but it’s safe to say that since going last year, I am OBSESSED. We drove from NY to FL for the trip, as I have difficulty flying due to medical reasons. And while many people would be like WHAT it really wasn’t that bad. My hubby drove the whole way (bless his heart) and the kids (2 & 4) were really good! But let’s be honest, it’s…

This is Halloween…
I love Halloween. It is really the only time of year that I am ok with all things spooky and scary. I mean, I’ll still close my eyes during trailer and commercials for the really scary movies, but that’s OK lol. Anyway, I love to decorate the house and yard with spooky décor, and this year, we up’ed our yard decorations with a 9 foot(ish) Pumpkin King! Since buying our house, I have put up the standard graveyard and zombie, but this year I went all out (and just wait until you see what I have planned for next year!) We were originally going to put huge spiders on our…

DIY Natural Skincare
Oh my goodness. I have been on such a DIY and natural skincare kick! I LOVE it. I love being able to make my own stuff for a fraction of the cost, and actually know what is going on my body! I started a couple of years ago by just using coconut oil as a makeup remover. I wasn’t happy with the makeup wipes or removers on the market, as they either felt too harsh or didn’t do anything at all, and they made my sensitive skin break out and flake up to no end! Once I started using coconut oil, I noticed a big difference in my skin and…

Easter Brunch
I love Easter. In addition to appreciating the religious part of it, I feel it’s just a great start to the spring. We’ve had a longer (and snowier) winter than usual, so I always look forward to Easter to bring forth spring! Since my hubby is Catholic and I’m Eastern Orthodox, we celebrate Easter twice. ((The boys are lucky and get visited by the Easter Bunny twice)) Generally for Catholic Easter we celebrate with my family at my sister’s house and then follow with my husband’s family. But Orthodox Easter (or Greekster as some have called it haha) is at my home! My mom used to host it, but once…

April Showers
One of these days I’ll get my act together and start posting on a more consistent basis… Maybe… Lol It’s April, and boy are the rains coming down! Though, I am happy it’s not snowing anymore. I LOVE snow, but this winter really tested my patience! We had 4 Nor’Easters in March. FOUR! And routinely got over a foot of snow. Commuting from one end of Long Island to the other and into Manhattan is not easy, so a lot of vacation days were used, which sucked. But let’s be real. I wasn’t about to risk falling on ice, or getting hit by a swerving car, or getting stuck on…

One Year Later…
Hello friends. It’s been almost a whole year since my last post; I hope you can forgive me! Things have been very hectic these last 12 months. I got pregnant with my second child (another boy!), began house hunting, found the perfect house, went through the horribly annoying closing process, packed, moved, had the baby, recovered from my second c-section (ughhh so painful), unpacked, and am now back at work after my 12 weeks of maternity leave. Needless to say, this past year has been an exhausting whirlwind, and with a toddler and infant, the exhaustion continues! Over the next few days I hope to start posting more; hopefully time…
