    People in your family with the same name.

    We reuse names. My oldest ds is named for fil. My second ds has the same name as dh. Both of dh’s grandfathers had the name as well. Also one of dh’s uncles and a cousin. My third ds is named for my father, with my grandfather’s first name as middle. My fourth ds also has a family name, but it’s...

    Spring Break Trip Ideas or Just Don’t

    We traveled by plane for the first time since before the pandemic over the holidays. We went to SW FL. It was amazing and felt so good to get away and be in the sun. I will say that we stayed at two different hotels which had very different rules/enforcement. It can be a bit jarring coming from...

    Parents: How often do you get a “Break?”

    When my parents and mil were a little younger (and I only had 2 dc) they would take them overnight quite often. Longest was 8 days but lots of shorter trips and random overnights. Mil lives close to us so we almost never had to pay for a babysitter. Additionally, dh’s 2 sisters who have no kids...

    Motivation

    I just signed up for the new session of NYRR virtual group training. It starts this coming week. I am definitely in a rut, my runs feel like a chore, with little motivation to push myself. I did the real classes last fall and it helped with adding variety to my workouts.

    Four Seasons odd pricing?

    Definitely not a discount, but if you have Amex platinum try booking through Fine Hotels and Resorts. Gets you free breakfast, some type of resort credit and an upgrade. It’s something at least.

    Dyson vacumn

    I have the cordless dyson and I love it so much. I absolutely hate cleaning but I actually don’t mind with this one because it’s just so easy. I have a 15 year old Miele which still works great and I also highly recommend, but I barely use it since I got the dyson.

    People still having play dates...

    No, none. I have 4 kids and they have been out of school 2.5 weeks. No friends, no playdates. It annoys me because as long as there are people don’t take this seriously, the longer it will be before we ever get back to normal. It’s one thing to be an essential worker and need childcare...

    In your immediate family, who is home who is not?

    We live in NYC but are at our second home. It’s me and my 4 ds’(I’m widowed). Lots of room here for dc to play basketball, bike etc outside vs being in our apartment. I’ve only gone out to go to grocery store or landfill. My parents and sister/niece (home from college) are nearby so we have seen...

    Play dates for your kids?

    No playdates. We have left the city for our summer place and luckily there are no kids around so it’s not an issue. They can play with each other.

    What large gatherings will you be attending?

    I’m not actively seeking out events right now. I’m in NYC. Ds and I normally go to the Big East tournament but I decided against it. It doesn’t seem like the prudent thing to do. We were going to see a lacrosse game at my niece’s college next weekend, but now students are being sent home Friday...

    NYC airports

    I fly into LGA whenever possible. I live on the east side of manhattan and it’s the shortest ride home, construction or not. I just can’t take the traffic from JFK.

    Reasons you like second dining

    First, I like having time to have a drink before dinner. Second, I didn’t like having to end our activities early in order to get 4 kids ready for dinner. Said kids then raced through their meals in order to go to the kids clubs. (They weren’t interested in the shows). Us adults were then left...

    NYC - Which airport?

    I choose LGA if possible. I live on the east side of manhattan and traffic from JFK into the city is always awful.

    Lash extensions?

    I started doing lash extensions this year and I’m totally addicted! I barely have to wear any makeup at all. A little tinted moisturizer, blush and go. That’s if I’m dressed and going out. But seriously, I can be in my pjs walking the dog at 6am and my eyes still look amazing! The ones I do are...
