rosé mansion 2019

my friends and I enjoyed rosé mansion in New York City so much last summer that we hoped it would return for summer 2019. well, when rosé mansion offered us free tickets, there was no doubt that we would go! it's difficult to coordinate schedules especially when all three of us have children. after a…

anniversary date night in Boston

Dennis and I were married on Saturday, June 29, 2013 in Connecticut. We celebrated our 6-year anniversary on Saturday, June 29, 2019 in Boston.

how to start a book club

I have always been shy. painfully shy in my adolescent years, in fact. as the years passed, the combination of a growing urge to want to be heard and not wanting to hide in the shadows of others encouraged me to be more social. I still am fairly reserved especially around a large group of…
