My Fitness Journey with The Sculpt Society

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

Health and wellness have always been a big part of my life but truth be told, I’ve slacked off the last two years doing minimal workouts. I’m extremely busy (like many of you) so I would put exercise on the back-burner. It was the easiest thing to cut out of my day.

But, I’m ready…I’m ready to get back into the groove of things. I’m 45 now and I want to make sure I still am as healthy and active for Liam as possible. I mention my age because I’m starting workouts again knowing my body doesn’t react and recover the same as it used to. It’s ok that I may never have my 30-year-old body again…health and wellness is my main priority. Read more

Trip to Arkansas

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

My brother and his wife just moved down to Arkansas to help open the Saracen Casino in Pine Bluffs. They are open now and a perfect resort for gambling enthusiasts and foodies alike!

My mom, niece, Liam and I decided to road trip down from Illinois to visit my brother and found there’s so much to do in the area! Hot Springs, Arkansas is about an hour and a half away, and Little Rock is only about an hour. We were able to visit both and I wanted to share some of my favorite activities and restaurants to help you plan your next trip!

Save the Duck

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

You know those simple memories you have from childhood? Seemingly insignificant moments that stick with you? For me, it was going to the local park and watching the ducks with my dad, sometimes talking, sometimes just being. I look back on it with fondness all these years later.  That feeling is something I hope I am recreating for Liam. Read more

Social Tees

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

I recently had the opportunity to spend some time at one of my favorite rescues, Social Tees, meeting some pups awaiting their forever families.  They were all so sweet, and each one wonderful in their own unique way.  I wish I could take them all home, but my hands are quite full already with my 5 furbabies!  I have included details on 3 pups up for adoption below in hopes they will find their families soon – Read on, they could be the companion you have been needing!

Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

NYC has an unparalleled magic during the holiday season.  The 5th Avenue window displays are one of my favorite sights to take in this time of year when Cartier, Saks, Louis Vuitton, Bergdorfs, Tiffany’s and so many more high-end brands deck out their storefronts with holiday cheer (aka a LOT of lights).  This year we walked past them all on our way to witness the lighting of the tree at Rockefeller Plaza.
