Sometimes I look at old photos like these and wonder what that little girl would think of the life I’ve grown into.

She had no idea how many hats she’d wear one day. The career. The creativity. The late nights writing blog posts and dreaming up the plans for my life. The beautiful chaos of motherhood. The marriage, the responsibilities, and the dreams that kept growing along the way.

And somehow, along the way, I became her.

Still dreaming.
Still building.
Still figuring things out one step at a time.
I’m proud of who she’s become.

Plot twist: when the hotel becomes a highlight of the trip.

Arlo NoMad felt so quintessentially New York; intimate, modern and completely centered around that beautiful skyline.

I ordered the biggest slice of pizza I could find, dimmed the lights, and let the skyline have its moment.

And you ask if I’d return? 10/10 a resounding YES!

If you’re in New York City right now, run, don’t walk, to the New Yorker exhibit at the New York Public Library Main Branch.

Tucked inside one of the most iconic buildings in Manhattan, this exhibit celebrates the legacy, illustrations, covers, and cultural impact of The New Yorker in the most charming, nostalgic way.

It’s an experience that reminds you why NYC will always be the capital of art, journalism, and storytelling.

And the best part? It’s free.

The exhibit closes tomorrow, so if you’re here, this is your sign.
