Stamford Holiday Stroll
We wanted to check it out. I must admit it’s best for children but we did enjoy walking through. There’s holiday music playing and interactive lights and displays.
It’s there first year doing it. You can still go to the Beer Garden without seeing doing the holiday lights stroll. It closes at 9:00 pm and there is ice skating which is nice.

Thank Those Who Have Helped You!
You know those types of people….Be sure to appreciate and thank them.
It’s this week’s book fair at my little ones school. I set them a budget and added money to the school e-wallet. My youngest came home and gave me her receipt. She went over budget and someone paid in cash for her balance. I automatically asked her if my friend was working the book fair. She said yes. I knew she paid and when I asked her she said she didn’t know what I was talking about. Of course covering for my little one going over budget.
Ironically that same day I saw her son who waved to me at school pickup for my oldest daughter. I pulled over and talked to him. He said his dad was running late and he was concerned so he used my phone to call him.
We were helping each others kids on the same day and didn’t even realize it. Those are the type of people you want in your life.

Candy Mess…Gingerbread Houses
I love doing crafts with the kids so I purchased a Hershey gingerbread kit for them. They went nuts with the candy.
But it’s about letting them have fun and being creative and it kept them off electronics and the cousins played and had fun and got a sugar rush. So to me it was a success.
Seeing Santa…Sono Collection Mall
I brought the younger ones to see Santa over the weekend. He’s located on the third floor near Camp in the mall. It’s free and you take the pictures yourself.
Schedule is below.

Skating…Taking It Back
I grew up going to the Darien Ice Rink. I tried forever to ice skate. I wasn’t good. Not at all. So I gave up BUT I am so determined to have the little ones do it. We took them today since we didn’t do it in the City. My boyfriend was great with them. By the end my girls got the hang of it without falling. I really want to push them to learn. It’s so fun and I always felt I missed out for not really learning.
Some can do it. Some cannot. I think trying is the only way to know for sure. Hoping my girls can go at least once a month or take lessons.
Rockefeller Center… Seeing The Tree
The crowds are insane. The traffic is nuts. Seeing the tree…
You can’t explain it until you see it and the kids eyes lite you and they loved every minute and it made it all worthwhile.
It’s so magical!
I am so grateful to be sharing my life with a man who is so adventurous and keeps us safe and is reliable. He’s more than I could have ever asked for in a partner. To be able to have these experiences with our children makes me fall in love with him over and over again.
If you can get down to NYC do so! It’s so worth it.
