college search: nyc schools
In planning our trip to NYC in January, we had a number of goals in mind. Seeing Hamilton. Attending the kindie Hootenany. And visiting colleges. Planning is a challenge.

I had forgotten to add the book the girls got me for my birthday to my pile, but I’m now halfway through it! This week while in Memphis, I finished a popular title Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. A great book. Again, reminds me to live my life. And not assume anything about other

I can’t get enough of Paris! If I’m there, I’m trying to spend as much time on the streets as I can. In general, I much prefer to walk the streets, the canals, the parks than to go into museums.

Create, Project 45, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects!
