Loston Harris At The Roxy Hotel.
I have loved hearing Loston Harris sing and play jazz since I first saw him in the movie Little Manhattan. His voice and how he plays is soothing and so relaxing. Jon and I went and saw him on a Sunday evening at the Roxy Hotel and it was such a pleasure to finally hear him in person. The Roxy Hotel is iconic and it is a unique hotel with the funnest photo booth! We love a good photo booth and we took like a million photos! So if any of y'all are into jazz music and want to eat some good food while having some drinks go to the Roxy Hotel every Sunday evening to hear the one and only Loston Harris sing and play.

Heat Wave.
The beach is something that I always look forward to going in the summer. We went back in June when there was a heat wave going on and it was the best feeling. Not the heat wave, the ocean! I tell you if you have a sore back going into the ocean with the waves hitting you really does feel good on your back. I wish we had a pool so we could swim and get more exercise but going to the shore and to our neighboring pool is good enough for me. The weather is going to be super hot this week so it looks like the pool/and or shore is on the agenda!

Freshman Year In The Books!
School ended sooooooo late this year. Much later than last year! June 25th has come and gone and I am glad!! Noah has changed and grown quite a bit since school started last year. He grew three inches taller which makes him 5'7 and weighs a bit more than he did last year. I can't believe his freshman year has come and gone and that we are now summering. Here's hoping for a summer that doesn't go by too fast!

Growing Up!!
I took these photos last September before school started and as I look at these pics I have to say that he surely has changed. His baby face seems to be vanishing year after year and I am not liking it one bit! He is about 5'3 in these photos weighing at least 120. He's so sweet and funny and has the cutest smile. He may be losing his baby features but in my eyes he will always be my baby! More pics below....

Hugh Jackman at Radio City Music Hall!
Tickets to see Hugh Jackman was the perfect Father's Day gift for Jon. He is such an amazing entertainer and it was so interesting to learn more about his history with acting. I had no idea he did so much theatre before he became an actor on the screen. It was a perfect evening and it was so cool to have Richard Marx as a special guest. Hearing him sing "Right Here Waiting" brought back so many memories of my teenage years (good and sad) and I have to say that Richard Marx is better looking now than he was in the 80's! I wish I would have paid more money for better seats so that I could take better pictures but instead I sat back and enjoyed the show. I recorded a few videos but the images are not the best! Still... It was a beautiful evening in New York city and there is no other place I'd rather be than to watch Hugh and Richard with my best friend!

Not All Immigrants Are Criminal!
So far the month of June has been an emotional one. First with my dear friend passing away and now with all the ICE raids going on in LA and spreading around the whole country. Because of this chaos I haven’t felt the need to post or share anything adventurous so instead I’ve been sharing the passion that I have for my heritage and POC and for what’s happening in the world on my Instagram stories in hopes that those who think the opposite, will have some compassion instead and try to understand why this is wrong.

Scenes from Memorial Day!
Snippets of Memorial Day weekend included going to Grants tomb for the hundredth time, a walk down Riverside park, enjoying the somewhat less crowds in the city and topping it off with our fave from Wafels & Dinges. It was a beautiful spring day honoring those who have fought for our country and still continue to fight! Thankful!

A Day with Andie...Owner of And Skin Esthetics!
This is Andie and I have known her over 10 years. She was a tween when I first met her. She and my daughter Lexie became great friends when they were young. They are both in their 20's now and even though they went a different direction they still have a nice friendship. I absolutely love that our girls all got along and that I reconnected with her after all these years. She now owns an esthetic store and I was able to see her and catch up! I love that we picked up right where we left off from 2016. She reminds me of Lexie and it felt so nice to have seen Andie. She made my day when I saw her. I miss my girls so much and seeing Andie just fixed the daughter sickness. (Is there even such a word??)
Anyway, I'm so so proud of her to have built something out of studying something she loved. She's really good at it too. I see her in action in her stories and post on Instagram and highly recommend to follow her if you are in need of skin care. She sells the best products and I have seen the results. At my age I feel as if I have pretty good skin but I should still take better care of it and add more self care into my life!
So if you're anywhere in the south jersey area particularly in Haddonfield where her cute, cozy little store is please stop by!

Stranger Things- The First Shadow
Last weekend we saw Stranger Things- The First Shadow on broadway and it was jaw dropping, crazy good!!!! I was in awe at all the special effects. Every single actor was in character. Noah was glued to the show and never once made a move! We are big fans of the series and have been wanting to see this since it was announced. We waited for the official opening instead of going to the advanced opening. It was a remarkable show and we would see it again and again! 10/10!!!!

Date Night In Dumbo, Brooklyn.
Dumbo in Brooklyn is one of our favorite places to go on a date and man did we have fun on this night! Time out market has so many places to eat and we had some pretty tasty Thai food. It was windy and cold and walked under the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge until our faces couldn't take the cold wind anymore. We then drove into Manhattan and went to see our "old friend" which is our new favorite photo booth to take goofy photos because that's what you do inside these photo booths! Even with a fractured arm...it was the perfect date night!

March Recap!
Here we are on the last day of March attempting to catch up on a months worth of living. I've been unmotivated to blog online and when I tell myself I'm done and am only going to handwrite in my journal, here I am hopping on my old iMac from 2011 trying to play catch up. So here we go...

Moulin Rouge On Valentine's Weekend!
Here we are on the last day of February and I'm glad! I can tell spring is upon us and I am so excited for it! Valentines day this month was the best and I'm so happy that I spent it on broadway watching Moulin Rouge with my love. It was amazing and everything about the show was exquisite. The costumes, the set, and the scraps of songs that were sung were awesome! The show was very similar to the movie with Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. I would see both again and again. Loved every minute of valentines weekend and hope that y'all had a nice long February!

A Love Letter To The Jersey Shore...
You certainly keep our family sane during the winter months and I'm so happy we are still here. To hear the waves crashing while standing or walking along the shore is a blessing for our mental health. For my mental health. You know how to deliver the sounds of the beach. Walking on the sand is a soft reminder that life is good. A sign that spring is not too far off. I love the sounds of the seagulls when it's quiet. I love it when you're empty and only a single soul is on the beach with us playing with their dog. Oh how I love that.
