Spicy Tortilla Soup

Spicy Tortilla Soup

Last week I had the biggest urge for tortilla soup.   Maybe it was because Cinco De Mayo was coming up but whatever the case, I HAD TO have some! I really wanted the tortilla soup from Chevy’s but since I’m not in ordering distance to a Chevy’s I knew if I wanted some, I [...]

My favorite orange shoes

It seems like much of my time with my girls is spent at a playground. They are at that age where the playground is the place to be. After school when the weather is nice we stop by the PG (as my sister and I like to call it) for at least an hour. On [...]

The Fish

Street Photography: Times Square NYC

Street Photography NYC

A couple of months ago I was scheduled to go to a workshop at B&H on Street Photography.  I was really looking forward to it.  I am completely fascinated by street photography!  I love how real it is – capturing raw moments just as they happen. Nothing is staged and no stiff poses. Just…life. The [...]
