Kick up those Kinky Boots for a Fun Night on Broadway

Our Visit to Steak ‘n Shake

In keeping with National Burger Month, Roc and I visited our local Steak ‘n Shake Signature located in Paramus Park Mall in Paramus, NJ.  I was semi-familiar with the concept and always equated the burger joint with the Midwest, but never actually ate at one. Steak ‘n Shake first opened in the Paramus location back […]

Open, Sesame (Allergy)

It’s Food Allergy Awareness Week, and I’d like to start a dialogue with my readers about the food allergies facing them and their families through this post.

Sunday Morning Swap: Little Swappies

One part of my work as a blogger that I truly enjoy is having the opportunity to try something new, or explore an otherwise unchartered experience.  Meaning, something that I would probably not do otherwise. And then of course, the best part is to share this info with YOU so we can all learn and […]

Our Gray-te New Dining Room

Our Gray-te New Dining Room

I just couldn’t take the banality of our dining room anymore. It had great features with its spacious size, good light, pre-existing moldings and hardwood floors. But it was time for a change from the Terra Cotta painted-over wallpaper and Navajo White walls that was our dining room for the past 3 years.  And I […]
