Snapshots

My older daughter TEE at the moment is obsessed with Japanese/Korean culture. She wants to learn as much as she can about those two countries and even visit if possible. While a trip to Japan at this time is not plausible, I told her we could definitely try and visit local places with Asian influence. She recently …

I have always wanted to watch Harlem Globetrotters live. Watching their advertisements on TV was so tempting. We were never able to watch their event because they most of the time, they were scheduled in far off venues.  So last week when I was offered complimentary tickets to watch their 2017 World Tour at a …

Last Saturday we decided to head over to Pomona Village. One of my friend had mentioned to me about a Hindu temple nestled in the mountains of New York and I was curious to check it out. A little background about Pomona Village It is a village, which located in the towns of Ramapo and …

Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was perfect, neither hot nor cold. So we decided to go apple picking at a nearby Battleview Orchards. Even though this place is close to us, we had never visited it. Battleview Orchards Farm and Country Store is owned and operated by Applegate family since 1908. In this farm …

Our Turkey Hill Experience was not blog related or sponsored in any way. During our spring break last week we decided to  go to Pennsylvania. We stayed in a small town called Bird-in-Hand, which is smack dab in Amish country. Before leaving for our trip I researched for places to visit and came upon The …

Last Friday we got an opportunity to visit and watch the Monster Truck Destruction Tour. It was our first time, so we did not know what to expect. I knew my little one ‘S’ was excited but TEE, who is a teenager now did not want to be there at all. In her opinion she would …

Last Monday, I was invited to attend the Disney Social Media Moms On-the-Road Celebrations in New York City. It was held at The New Amsterdam Theater on 42nd street. This event was at 8.30 am and I found it was too early for me because that meant I would have to leave home at 5.45 …

Last weekend we attended the Food Truck Festival in Monmouth Park, NJ. Since this was our first time we did not know what to expect. We reached there around 12.30 pm even though we were stuck in traffic for around 45 minutes. Parking was available — thank goodness for that.   However, even before we …

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend Live with Kelly and Michael Show. It was not a blogger event. In fact I went with one of my friend who was kind enough to get a ticket for me. Since it was the first time I was attending any kind of live TV programming I was …

One of my friend mentioned a flea market close to where we live and we decided to check it out last Saturday. Englishtown Auction actually started out as an auction area and over the years transformed into a Flea Market. The flea market is only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 8.00 am to 4.00 …

It was little one’s ‘S’ eighth birthday last Saturday. We had promised to take her to New York City. Since she loves to eat, and considers herself a foodie we decided to go over to Chinatown. My DH and I have been to China Town before but my girls had never been there. So they …
