Strawberry Fields, Central Park
Typically when we go to Central Park, we enter around Columbus Circle and stop by Whole Foods or Maison Kayser for snacks beforehand. I love the eclairs at Maison Kayser, but all their desserts and pastries are really good. They also have a lot of pre-packaged sandwiches and salads which are just so easy to […]

Since I’d been on hospitalized bed rest for 6 weeks before they were born, I hadn’t seen […]
