Petite Insanities

I'm in love with  Post Secret  (thanks Melanie) and have so many secrets I want to share. Here are some shared by others... And the new app is going to make it so much more fun... xoxo

It's important in every marriage that you both work together as a team. We should all learn from  Julian & Benjamin's  example. xoxo

...one of the lovely winners of the Show Some Love Project created by Rachell of  No Mark At All . The prize for each winner was a button for the month of August featured on the blog of their choice and Melanie picked petite insanities! She's a lover of photography, writing, biking, baking and living life to its fullest. Please take a moment to stop by Melanie's darling blog, Lord Knows, I Love to Dance . You won't be disappointed. xoxo

The date has been set. We are officially going to New York for my 30th birthday! This has been my dream for years and I'm finally going but we need your help. We'll only be there for five days and I want to make them count. We need suggestions from people who know the city.  NYC 1955 -  via I'm not the traditional touristy type so I plan on seeing the sites quickly (ie: Times Square = enough time to snap a photo and then move on). I'd rather spend my time at a good restaurant, sifting through an antique shop or snapping photos in a park.  Here's the list of possibilities we have so far. Please feel free to add on/ cross off/ scrutinize/ murder it with your recommendations. * Ino Cafe & Wine Bar  - Must try the truffled egg toast. * Flea market - I've heard there are a few good ones. Any recommendations? * Ground Zero - Of course * The Statue of Liberty - From afar... not up close. * Central Park  - Definitely * Times Square * A Yankee game * Brookly...

I just found the coolest treasury EVER created by the lovely, talented and amazing Rachell of  No Mark At All  and what makes it so totally awesome is that she dedicated it to me! How cool is that?! She totally knows my style and I'm loving how she's completely captured the things I love. That zombie t-shirt and watch are calling my name. Even the " Lab's Conundrum " artwork in the top right corner totally represents Cooper's current obsession. Thanks, Rachell. I love you. xoxo
