New York City Adventures!

Brick Oven Pizza - The Way it Should Be!
We had a glorious weekend in New York City. The weather was beautiful and sunny. As Alice mused: "This is the world of Spring, we live in the world of Winter." So true.

We arrived on Friday morning and after naps, the girls and I headed to SoHo to visit my BFF Sonja -- we ate at a cute cupcake place on Prince Street and caught up. Then it was off to find shoes for Leah, who left her sneakers at school and needed a sturdy pair of walking shoes to keep up with me. Along the way, we had adventures as we always do when visiting a city (boys bathroom!). We found a cute kids store near University Place and then found a brick oven pizza joint. Yum!

The next day, we explored Central Park in the morning and then met up with cousins Hannah and Hayley, Aunt Jen, Grandma and Grandpa! Grandma got the girls tickets to see Pinkalicious, the Musical! So much fun! The cousins, of course, were very, very excited to see each other. Squealing and laughing.

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
