Some years it seems as though back to school ads begin as soon as the last day of school has come and gone. This year, amid COVID-19, the end of the school year was just another day of virtual learning, and the first day of school is an unknown.

How Weight Loss Surgery Can Improve Your Lifestyle.

With today’s casual lifestyle, even in the most elegant of residences, the outdoor areas of homes have truly become an extension of entertaining and decorating. Since our everyday routines have changed so drastically within just months, the exterior living space has been proven essential to our health and well-being.

Though we’ve had to make significant adjustments to our daily routine, we must also appreciate the deeper sense of connectedness we’ve experienced with friends and family. We all have good days and bad, but now that summer is here, let’s make the best of both.

Sun… Summer… Succulent Shrimp Salad… all create a lovely summer scene. It just wouldn’t be summer without a shrimp roll!

This summer might feel a bit different, but we can’t complain too much since at least one of (in my opinion) the most important activities wasn’t taken from us… our Long Island beaches!

Let us all celebrate St. Patrick’s Day wearing the traditional color green. Have yourself a blessed day with a great sumptuous corned beef and green cabbage meal, then top it off with these delectable green biscotti cookies! (Yes… I am Italian but love the twist.)

Designers know that no decorating can be accomplished until a home has a “place” for everything and “everything is in its place.”

Does anything say Happy St. Patrick’s Day more than an ice-cold Guinness? I guess maybe some Corned Beef and Cabbage does, but for those who don’t fancy some Corned Beef, I’ve got an awesome alternative for your St. Patty’s Day! Guinness Beef Stew. Yes, it’s as rich and delicious as it sounds.

The only problem with the children I work with is that they are defeating themselves in their own mind. That’s it. By doing this, they are slowly, over time, killing their self-esteem which negatively affects their self-image and impacts EVERY aspect of their life.

Grab your boots and your beer (if you are over 21) and head down to Nashville for a fantastic few day getaway. United, Delta, American and Southwest all operate nonstop flights from the New York area to Nashville.
