Lately...

Hi everyone, don't hate me, I know its been a while. Let me first defend myself. I live in New York City, the most cut-throat, unapologetic time thief. New York just has a way of swallowing you up, chewing you down and then spitting you back out again expecting you to come out on top, every damn time! Perhaps, that is why this is the greatest city in the world. Somehow, it unintentionally has a way to push people to be the strongest versions of themselves.

Lately, I have been living on a New York minute. Busy... busy with work, busy with hustling, busy with finding the next best job, busy with interviews, busy with baking, busy with family obligations, busy with cleaning, busy with laundry, busy with doctors appointment, busy with my boyfriend, busy, busy, busy. Here is what I have been busy with lately...

My brother is expecting another baby! We had a reveal party. I made the cake and we shared the news with the family! 

Its a girl!! 

Then Earth Day happened, so I had to honor it! Earth shortbread cookies. 

Even Addy helped and when I say helped, I mean she ate the cookies, all the cookies! hehe

Janine's brother Ryan got married, so we all cleaned up and had a great time! 

Then Spring happened in the city...

We prayed for Nepal in my neighborhood...

And, made some killer Vegan fully loaded nachos for the Man Vs. Pac fight at my sisters house. 

Had a fun filled day with these beautiful girls for Lisa's birthday - brunch and rooftop cocktails are the best Sunday!! 

Cinco de Mayo with my favorite man friend and a completely necessary Corona wearing a Sombrero. 

Made a delishhhhh vegan polish dinner just because #calories :/

Discovered this drink. My latest ADDICTION now! SO GOOD!!!

Willy and I invited our friends over Friday night and we shared these extra special brownies with everyone!

And... celebrated Mothers Day like any normal family, by hiking, climbing up a river Dam, picnicking and chasing mountains in Upstate New York! 

Thank you friends for dropping by! I promise to post as things are happening. xoxo!
