What to do on New Years Eve in NYC

New Year’s Eve is big in NYC because of the ball falling in Times Square at 12:00 am from the the top of One Times Square. You can best see it from Broadway between 45th and 50th Streest and on Seventh Avenue as well. Many people look for alternatives to standing in the cold in […]

Giving Back in the New Year

Jessica Knows is having a fantastic giveaway for $300 ($150 for you and $150 for a food pantry of your choice).
I loved to win this giveaway particularly because I would love to get some food for The Reaching Out Community Center, a Brooklyn food pantry. I should have done this already, but like many things, […]

Christmas Music fills this Brooklyn Street

Sometime in January or February last year, CVS or Rite Aid had a 90% off sale for Christmas. I purchased this Christmas music and light machine.  You plug your lights in this box and they dance to the beat of 20 different songs. This morning around 10:00 am, I ran outside and plugged it in […]

Christmas evolves as we get older

As a child, I did the Christmas countdown every year. I loved Christmas and everything about the holiday. It was magical and exciting. I loved being around family and celebrating.
In my 20’s, I would make some magic around the holiday by doing dynamic light displays. It’s very popular to decorate your home with thousands of […]

Christianity is not a mask for stupidity

Recently, someone got into a discussion with me about gays. Yes, I will listen to you and support your right to have an opinion, but I will not agree with you. Don’t enter a conversation with me and think that because I’m Christian, I will support you on this issue. Christianity does not mean excluding […]

Pottery Barn - Huge Sales - 70% off

We drove to Pottery Barn in the Tanger Outlets in Riverhead, NY. Many NY’ers go to new outlets in Deep Park so I guess I got all of the great deals for them. I bought 12 items - over $543 worth of stuff for $112. Usually I am scouring the web looking for discount codes […]

Bay Ridge Home Prices Down

The economy keeps plummeting and now Brooklyn home prices are finally falling! Our Bay Ridge homeowners can no longer call for the $750,000 single family or $900,000+ multi family homes. We’re in a recession and no one is buying! I go to a lot of Bay Ridge & Dyker Heights Open Houses and it’s nice […]

Blessed!

I sat and cried this afternoon…..not because I was sad. I don’t even have a tiny thing to be sad about.
I sat and thanked God for all of the blessing He has given me. I thanked God for making such loud statements in my life. Maybe the Lord doesn’t think I listen to Him because […]

Jesse Tree

When I was a kid, I remember building a Jesse Tree at school. It was one of the most interesting aspects to the Advent season. I remember looking forward to the Jesse tree being put up because I really loved making the ornaments for the tree. There was just so much meaning behind the tree.
As […]

Are Your Children Proud to Be Americans?

Normally, I leave out stories about my students out of this blog. I talk to many students one-on-one each day and I don’t want them to think I write about what was said between us.
Yet, today, I chit chatted with a student who was in my homeroom last year. Homeroom teachers have a special bond […]
