With an amazing husband, two incredible children, and the blink of an eye later, I’m here, at the age of 40.  Turning 40 has also been a series of first for me.  From incorporating a healthy lifestyle, friend detoxing and going through my first mammogram.

IMG_5536The World Championship of Sand Castling happened to have been taking place during that weekend and it was indeed remarkable. So if you heading to AC this summer be sure to add these Top 9 Things To Do In AC:

  1. Enjoy a White House Submarine Sandwich – you will not believe it!
  2. Tour the Revel Casino Resort and specifically the “Sky Garden”.
  3. Take the Atlantic City Helicopter Tour, departs from the rear of the Steel Pier, #1 Bucket List Activity!
  4. Check Out H2O at the Golden Nugget in the evening or for the Sunset, #1 rated sunset location in town.
  5. Make reservations and dine at “Chef Vola” an exclusive homemade Italian restaurant at 111 S Albion Place.
  6. Experience the Quarter at the Tropicana a restaurant, nightlife and entertainment hub of the city.
  7. Take a Dolphin Watching Tour in Gardners Basin on Atlantic City Cruises “Cruisn 1″. Then see the rest of the waterfront area.
  8. Stop by Fralingers Salt Water Taffy or James Candy on the boardwalk for a tour of their plant and how to make Salt Water Taffy.
  9. Visit and take a tour of the “Worlds Largest Pipe Organ” at Historic Boardwalk Hall. You will not believe this, I guarantee it.

After my weekend with the girls I came back to hugs and kisses from the fam and enjoyed some fun in the sun…If you are the East Coast make sure that Westchester is on your list of places to visit.  This time of year Mamaroneck  Harbor Island is fun for the entire family.  This is the perfect place to meet friends and schedule playdates.  While gabbing it up with the ladies your little ones are playing in the sand or running around in the sprinkler park.  This was indeed the perfect way to end the weekend just before my oldest heads into summer camp.

I also joined forces with The Junior League of Central Westchester and of Bronxville and took in a complimentary class at Soul Cycle in Bronxville. I am not a spinner at all so when I showed up up for my class I was indeed intimidated, but guess what, I LOVED IT!  So be check back this week for my full review on my Soul Cycle experience.

This month’s Spa Week Daily Book Club feature is Against The Wild (The Brodies of Alaska series #1) by Kat Martin.  If you are a lover of suspense, romance and mystery then this is a must summer read.

The story follows Dylan Brodie, his daughter, Emily and Lane Bishop.  Dylan and Lane, both have  been abandoned by someone they’ve loved in the past and are now brought together on a project to remodel Dylan’s fishing lodge. Sparks fly rapidly, followed by haunts, ghostly noises and visions in the lodge….we are then left to wonder if the lodge is haunted or if its foul play.

This novel is faced past and filled with romance from the beginning to end.  This seres is sure to make the readers beg for more, which is why I can’t wait to see what happens in the next “Broadies of Alaska” series.

Distinctly Dad Johnson and Johnson

 

Father’s Day just passed and I think sometimes dad can be overlooked.  Johnson and Johnson is putting together an effort to show the importance of love in a child’s life.  Their film, “Distinctly Dad” is their first effort in show the impact of dad on the development of a child.  In the film we are introduced to three dads who are positively impacting their children’s lives.  We don’t only see how different dads interact with their children we see them come to the realization of how their life changes, how critical they are to their children, and how irreplaceable they are.
