Yet again another has gone by way too fast! Hope you all had a lovely couple of days off. Here is what we were up to…
Saturday was tax day! Not fun, but essential. For the last couple of years we have an using an accountant instead of doing it ourselves and it’s make it a much smoother transition. We are typically in and out in 45 mins.
On our way to our appointment Jon saw signs for a flea market fishing market so we pulled over to check it. It was heaven for Jon with aisle after aisle of fishing gadgets. I thought it would be a snooze for me, but even I found a both I would like full of items for you to design your own custom rod complete with an array of decals.
After boring taxes we headed out to a local petting zoo that was action packed because it was opening day for the season and Easter weekend. Hudson was in heaven.
I think the camels were his favorite part.
They also had a row of houses you could play in. Hudson loved running in and out of them and mostly just sticking his head out of the windows.
We also got to practice our Easter egg hunting skills with a display they had. Hudson figured it out in no time.
We even got to pet a baby bunny!
At the end Hudson even decided to become one with the animals and rock his bear hood and try to squeeze his little head in the fence.
Sunday morning my Easter centerpieces were still going strong. Since we weren’t hosting Easter they went off to my parents house to decorate their table.
Getting ready that morning I had no clue what to wear, but then my sweet friend, Lauren from Aspiring Kennedy instagrammed this picture:
and I remembered I owned the same dress!
{A fashion blogger I am not, but I had to share how I wore the dress. Of course when I asked Jon to snap the picture in our backyard I completely forgot about the damaged fence from Sandy, the dogs running around the yard and Hudson chasing the dogs in his comfy yet slightly small outfit. Good times. :)}
{I felt very Rachel Zoe that morning when I was picking out my jewelry and decided that more is more and piled on 3 necklaces.}
{I took the opportunity to test out my new bag that came all the way from London (It was a Christmas gift from my sister) and my Hermes bangle which has gotten a lot of use this week. I knew waiting for the gold/orange combo would be a good idea. It goes with a lot of my wardrobe.
Of course I just kept piling on the jewels and added bangles to my other arm. I love my HOP bracelet. It’s an ode to Hudson (his initials) and HOP felt very appropriate for Easter.
Of course in all the madness of running to two houses to celebrate with both of our families I never got a family shot or even a solo picture of Hudson in his Easter outfit. Oh well!
I recently found your site and love it! Plus it’s great to find another blogger on Long Island. I am curious where the petting zoo is? I have a little boy who is almost 2 and he would love to go to a petting zoo. We usually end up at the Queens County Farm Museum.
We went to White Post Farms. It’s in Melville, NY. It was my second time their, but Hudson’s first time and he really enjoyed it. He couldn’t go in any of the bouncy things, because he wasn’t tall enough, but other than that he did a little bit of everything else.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]

Hi Sasha,
We went to White Post Farms. It’s in Melville, NY. It was my second time their, but Hudson’s first time and he really enjoyed it. He couldn’t go in any of the bouncy things, because he wasn’t tall enough, but other than that he did a little bit of everything else.
Love that dress! Sounds like a good weekend- Hudson looks so happy holding those eggs!
