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.
New York…Newwww Yorkkk…Empire State Building
There’s this energy I get there. Then again don’t we all? It’s amazing!!!
We decided to take the girls for the day. Growing up everything family visited from Italy we took them to
New York. We would visit the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island etc.
I never realized how lucky I was to do that until I brought my own kids. It was my boyfriend’s first time too and it was magical!
We went up to the 80th floor and then the 86th to the Observatory.
The view was insane. We even got to be there around sunset so the sky was gorgeous. There’s this calmness looking outside at all the buildings.
If you have never been then go! It’s so worth it. Next we will take kids to the Statue of Liberty.

Love Your Kids A Little More
There’s been events taken place at our local schools that really tugged at my heart this week. Fear the kids faced and parents really makes you stop and push to love your kids a little more. To hold them a little tighter. To want to heal those that are broken so they don’t do anything to hurt anyone because they are hurting.
As parents we don’t realize how damaging some kids can be or get. How our words and actions can push them to hurt. How we should never overlook anything and always be supportive and have an open level of communication with them.
Please love your children a little more this week. They need it. We need it. And to all the parents who had their children witness lockdown this week I am sorry you faced that fear. I am sorry your kids did too. No parent or child should ever fear them not being safe.
