Welcome

I am a mom of older children and have noticed that the time has come when I do not have the hustle and bustle of little ones constantly around my feet and life now seems to be a bit of a let down.
I am trying to finally savor the time that is mine like I used to when I did have little ones. I don't feel entitled or that I have earned this time but that I am growing into yet another part of my life. I now have growing pains that I once cuddled my children through only I now have to learn to hug myself. Did anyone notice how hard it is to be nice and understanding to yourself? That being said I hope that you will be part of my journey into the next part of my life.

Christmas Tree lighting in NY

So excited, I love the lighting of the Christmas tree in NY. I will be going to see it on Sunday. I am also hoping that I can finagle a little window shopping or gawking since they are all decorated then as well. So I have been on line looking for a map to create a strategy to see as many as my feet will allow me.
I did get to go on that Sunday. We went in by boat and came home on the train. Wow that was an adventure but that story for another day. The pictures I took aren't the best but I had such a great time. The maps did help out a lot because I probably would have not ventured all the way to Lexington Ave and 59th. Those were my first favorite windows and where I took most of the pictures.










The tree was magnificent. We didn't get a picture of us in front of the tree like the last time we went.

Love the over sized string of lights.



I liked this Mom's blog about going - http://mommypoppins.com/newyorkcitykids/holiday-windows-2011-department-store-macys-bergdorf-saks-barneys
