In-home photo sessions can not only showcase the love you have for each other but also your home. The home you have grown up in, the home you might raise your kids in or are. It might be the last farewell to the home you love or even a hello to it. Addy was a […]

I know it might look like it’s spring in Syracuse but it’s actually January! We had an odd winter this year and honestly, I’m here for it. These two dogs were so much fun and I love that little nook in Franklin Square because if your dogs behave off-leash, you can let them off and […]

Syracuse has an ice skating ring and during Christmas, they put up this tree with lights. It was the perfect place to […]

Whether this is your first cruise or you need a refresher on what to bring. These are my go-to items to bring on the cruise. My family of 5 usually cruises with Carnival because they have cabins that fit 5 people. When my kids were younger this was perfect. Now, they are older and we […]

I’ve been doing my own taxes since I was 16 when we were allowed to send in paper form and my grandmother made me sit down at the table and do them by hand. (I’ve been self-employed for 19 years.) Thankfully we don’t need to do that anymore and there are programs to do it […]
