Saturday, January 21st, 2012Snowing in Brooklyn
I love owning my own home. The only thing I don’t like about home ownership is SNOW. In NYC, if you don’t shovel outside your house, you get ticketed. In the Fall, I purchased the Snowboss…..this is the best snow shovel ever! It’s light and moves the snow well. I was done with the whole […]

Our house is always filled with laughter over very silly things. And for that, I consider myself pretty lucky. The nutcracker was Christmas gift.
