Another weekend has come and gone way too quickly! Why oh why do they go so fast! I’m exhausted, but that is a sign of a wonderful weekend, right?
We had a brunch at my sister’s apartment on Saturday, which was lovely.
We ate yummy food:
I actually got to put my feet up and enjoy some time in the front patio which is a rarity in Manhattan and for myself. With so many people eager to play and hold my little men this momma got to have a little breather.
Asher being polite with all of the guests. There were so many new people that were super eager to get their hands on him so he enjoyed himself very much.
My sassy man when we were picking up our car after brunch. He caught me snapping a photo and was not happy.
After brunch we headed to Central Park in Harlem because they have a lake were you can actually fish.
My men taking in the view:
Getting their fishing on. There were actually a ton of little fish in the water, but we didn’t get any bites!
After fishing Hudson found a sandy nook around the lake and kids! That was it. We couldn’t get him to move from there. He had a blast and Asher enjoyed digging his little toes in the sand as well. It was such a pretty part of the park, but I had never been to.
On Sunday we had brunch at Jon’s parents house and what’s brunch without a scroll around the lawn. Ah! I think we all had a flash forward into the future with this photo op.
The rest of our day was spent at home during some chores around the house, working on a mystery Mother’s day gift for my mom and we actually got to see my sister, her boyfriend and my parents for a little bit, which is always fun.
I also took some time to smell the flowers. My sweet friend, Liz surprised me with a delivery of flowers! Such a sweet thank you to receive from her. Totally not necessary, but completely appreciated.
I also spied Asher seating in a nook of the living room “reading”.
Before the sun set we headed out to the near by park to play!

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.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
