You are here.

I am chronically lost. Sure, I can get around courtesy of the GPS, but if that thing poops out, I'm screwed. I don't know where our friends and family live in relation to us, or if the big city lights I see driving up the Turnpike are Manhattan lights or those of another city. We came up with this "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader" solution. We eat in front of a map. Every time I travel someplace new, I stick a marker on the map. Every morning when I sit down to eat my Kashi waffle with crunchy pb and hot honey (Yes, honey with chilies in it. And it is divine.), I eyeball the distance from Cape May to Philly to Trenton to Newark to Manhattan to Suffern. What can I say? I'm a visual learner.

*My fall tablecloth and leaf bouquet are courtesy of Christmas Tree Shops and totaled about $10. We do not have Christmas Tree Shops in California, but it's one of my new favorite places. We picked up 2 esthetically pleasing bar stools for under $50. Why thank you, CTS, I DO love a bargain. If I ever find myself in need of holiday themed butter dishes and gravy boats, I know I can count on you.
