Today I took my girls to the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival in Saugerties, New York. It was a beautiful day to walk around in the fresh air that was infused by garlic everywhere. I don't know about you but I am in love with garlic. I add garlic to almost every meal. If you know me and have had the chance to be THISCLOSE to me ;), chances are I probably smell like a garlic clove, which is ok by me. Garlic is good stuff. It's good for the body (lowers your cholesterol, regulates your blood … [Read more...]

Earlier today the tri-state area was issued a tornado warning. How crazy is that?! In New York? Yup! I know a few years ago there was a small tornado that hit a few houses several miles away so tornadoes are not a rare thing in New York, unfortunately.

After much success over the next few years, they managed to win the 1991 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and they continue to wow their audience.

It was the most amazing show I have ever … [Read more...]

I don't think anyone deserves this. Also, at this very moment, there are people protesting the picture and many people want The New York Post shut down because … [Read more...]
