This year, we’ve had a super mild fall season. Temps are way above their norm, and the leaves in the City have barely started to change. Whereas I never wish for colder weather, but fall is definitely my favorite season, especially when it comes to fashion. This weekend, we headed…

With the fall comes Halloween, with a build up to the holidays, and weeks if not months of annual traditions. Apple and pumpkin picking have become a family favorite, and this year, Siella was begging to go for weeks. Finally last weekend, we managed to squeeze in a few hours…

With Veterans Day falling on a Friday this year, the kids had a three day weekend, and coming off the tumultous presidential election, the weekend was more than welcomed. As much as I wanted to escape the city, Ryder and Siella had soccer games on Saturday, which kept us grounded…
