I’m a sucker for a white Christmas, filled with fluffy snow, candles burning, people laughing, even ice skating. I love it all and especially Christmas in NYC-it’s all so magical. Of coarse, I don’t remember the last time we actually had snow on Christmas, but still, that’s besides the point. So when we decided to… Read More a tropical Christmas.
So, you know we went to BALI. But what did we do? Well…we had ourselves an adventure, duh. Here are some of our favorite things: 1. Bali. In general. 2. We rented a scooter for a day ($4/day…) and just got “lost” on our own. This was a really fun experience because it allowed us… Read More experience BALI.

And I meant to blog the trip right away…but like with everything else… Read More What dreams are made of…part 1
Whenever I think of my childhood in Ukraine, I always remember the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables from my parents garden. We had everything, from potatoes, to onions, apricots,cherries, to watermelon, just to name a few. I loved eating all of the bounty from the garden, but I did NOT enjoy helping out and… Read More Green Thumbs
I love surprises, but I am the worst at actually allowing people to surprise me. For example, when the Mr. and I were dating, we talked about marriage a lot, and so I knew a proposal was coming. I just didn’t know when and how, and I wanted to be surprised. The week before he proposed,… Read More Birthday Fun

Yes, I know…Memorial Day seems like it was ages ago! I’m a bit late with this post, but as I always say, better late than never. I spent the weekend of Memorial Day with my family in upstate NY. My younger brother was graduating from Cornell University, so I took a 45min. flight to Rochester… Read More Memorial Day Adventure
