Grab your dancing shoes for Dancing With The Stars Live!! Perfect tens across the board. It was such an enjoyable evening full of dancing in our seats and cheering! I was extra lucky because my sister gifted me with seats right up front, AKA the Alan Sweat Zone, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I had so much fun spending the day with my Mom, sister, and Kiki on an epic girls day outing. We played mini-golf, arcade games, went bowling, tried a virtual reality experience, and wrapped it all up with a fun dinner out!

First Barnes & Noble trip of 2024! When you are preparing for bad weather, what better preparation could be made than stacking up your to be read pile? I am getting ready to fill in all the beautiful blank books on my 2024 reading log.

In honor of the Epiphany, or Three Kings Day, I thought I would share my crochet Three Wise Men. I am looking forward to having a little one to create some new traditions with and making Three Kings Day a fun celebration.

Mission success. It has been a bit since I have had as much fun as I did at activate games. It is actually a good thing it is located in New Jersey so I won't be tempted to head over every week.

I know spending New Year's Eve in Times Square watching the ball drop is a bucket list item for a lot of people, but not for me. I much prefer a fun night lounging inside in comfy clothes. Traditionally, my family plays board games and snacks on finger foods. We usually have some type of movie marathon playing in the background.

On our third try, we finally made it to the Magic of Lights show at Jones Beach. It was definitely worth the wait. It was not too crowded and the other cars were so excited to see my dog with her head out the window enjoying the lights.

It’s kindle challenge time again! I just wrapped up the Year End Kindle Reading Challenge. My favorite bookmark this time around was best of 2023.

This was my first time participating in the mystery Advent calendar crochet along. How it works is a little piece of the pattern is released each day. So I had no idea what I was crocheting as I was crocheting it. As you can tell, I had no clue it was an elf seeing as I made him hot pink!

I baked some homemade chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies for Santa this afternoon and made sure I wrote him out my annual Christmas letter. I am so excited for his visit tonight! There's an old wives tale, if you wrap a baby blanket under your tree, you'll have a baby next Christmas.

I couldn't help myself. I did a quick run to Stew Leonard's to get some last minute Christmas dinner supplies and needed to pose by the giant reindeer.

One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is to jump into the car, blast the Christmas music, and check out all the beautifully decorated homes. Between all the inflatables and dazzling light displays, it always makes for an exciting drive. I can never pick a favorite.

Ever since I was little, my family has always had a real Christmas Tree. We would pile into the car with our dog and usually go over to the local fire department and let our dog pick out her favorite. I cannot tell you how much my siblings and I looked forward to tree shopping with our family dog.

Welp! I had plans for the Polar Express Train Ride. I was prepared with the matching pajamas and everything! But I needed to have my wisdom tooth pulled instead.

So grateful to all the volunteers at the USMC Toys for Tots toy drive at Veterans Memorial Park. It was an incredible group of people who were so appreciative and grateful for all the donations. Everyone at the toy drive truly exhibited the spirit of Christmas. It made me feel so good to be a part of it.

Playing the role of Santa's elves as we drop off all the presents for our families at FCA. We are praying for our little family and senior citizen and hope they not only have an incredible Christmas, but that they have an amazing 2024. Instead of buying gifts for each other, each year my family and I find different organizations to donate to.

I have visited Hicks Nurseries to see their animated Christmas story ever since I was a little girl. Each year it is different and I love that the Long Island Cares food bank collects food donations at the end of the walk through.

I had such a blast celebrating Sara Rose's 2nd birthday. Her parents did an incredible job on the party with the baby shark décor, birthday coloring sheet, birthday wall, and gorgeous cake. The highlight of the party was when her parents actually dressed up as Mommy Shark and Daddy Shark and danced to the infamous Baby Shark song.

Unbelievable, breathtaking, astonishing, magical…there are not enough adjectives to describe how incredible Derek Hough's Symphony of Dance was.

Kicking off the holiday season right with a trip to Christmas Land! We were lucky to beat the crowds to explore all the colorfully themed rooms. My favorite room was Elf School!
