PICTURE SHOW: LIFE, FRIENDS, FOOD, DRINKS, HALLOWEEN, HOTELS & HAPPINESS

Happy Sunday, Bogland!
How are all of you doing?  I am so sorry for not keeping up as frequently as I would like here on my blog, but I will try my best to balance it and life a little better moving forward.
Life for me has been a whirlwind of genuine happiness lately. Quite lovely! :)  
So, although I may be MIA from time to time, it is not due to lack of things happening and adventures, but more so due to an excessive number of adventures, events, outings and more.
I am working on some affordable holiday goodies for all of you and hope to run another giveaway very soon.  However, I'm loving keeping up with all of you on Instagram, it is definitely a favorite of mine!
Until my next post, below are some pictures from the last couple weeks of my life in the city, and I'll have plenty more to show very soon.

PICTURE SHOW: FALL ROAD TRIP, HAPPINESS, LIFE, WORK, JURY DUTY AND PARTY FUN

Happy Saturday, Everyone!
I meant to post this yesterday, but life got a wee bit busy.  So, it's now a Saturday picture post, and I'll post the usual inspirational quotes tomorrow.
The past couple weeks have been filled with so many adventures, fun, laugh out loud moments and work outings.  As well as, a road trip to upstate NY to experience fall, jury duty, a 2nd Birthday, good eats, a surprise party to celebrate Jeter's last weekend as a Yankee, great friend time and more, all while feeling very fortunate to be where I am.
It is another beautiful weekend in the city, so, I'm taking full advantage of being outside for part of it, and then, taking in a little art and culture for the other half, which should be fun.
Hope you all have a fun-filled and relaxing weekend! :)
