The Brooklyn Bridge | New York City

The-Brooklyn-BridgeThe famous Brooklyn Bridge was a must-see for me while in New York last weekend!

Nic actually had to pull me out of a biker’s way a few times! I’m actually living on the edge for a second and standing in the biker’s lane for the above picture! It was crazy!

Nonetheless, I can’t believe The Brooklyn Bridge was built in 1883! At the time it was built, it was the largest suspension bridge in the world. It is truly an amazing work of American architecture!

    I love the Brooklyn Bridge, but it is a bit stressful to walk. 🙂 We did it once, and are glad we did, but that was probably enough. lol Dumbo is the best! Pizza and Ice cream!

    Also….Roebling, who built the bridge, built a prototype in Ohio. The Roebling Suspension bridge in Cincinnati is a sister to the Brooklyn Bridge. No wonder it’s such a beautiful bridge!

    Love the pics.

      Lauren,

      Thank you for this info! I thought I had heard there was a tie between the Brooklyn Bridge and Ohio but wasn’t sure what it was!

      And yes, I agree… once was enough! 🙂

Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day starte Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day started but certainly not how it ended 😆! We had two exhausted kiddos (& parents!), tummy aches (& more) from too much candy, & lots of meltdowns along the way! 🌸 Holidays are FUN & oh so memorable... but it’s always great to get back to the regular routine! 🤍😊 #easter
E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remem E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remember a few weeks ago when I showed you guys some things I was going to gift the girls for Easter? Well, I’ve decided since Ellie’s bday is so close to the holiday this year, I’m splitting up the goodies, gifting half on her bday & half on Easter. Less is more this year! We just don’t need all the STUFF. Mamas, you know what I saying here right?? 🤍🤍🤍 also found those cute baskets on @etsy ... I’ll link them but found them bc of @themamanotes ! I can’t take credit for this find but they sure are CUTE!
What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? ✨ My go-to shops are: @glamfete @ellieandpiperco @fancyfreefinery @shopsweetlulu & @amazon 🤍✨ currently planning Ellie’s bday which is just around the corner! #birthdayparty #kidsbirthday
Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun act Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun activity for the girls - white glue, shaving cream, & food coloring! 🌈 Really though, I should be working on our tax return since the one month countdown is on! I always seem to wait until the last minute! Anyone else?! 🙈 This year, if you plan to put any of your refund into college savings, I’ve partnered with Ohio’s 529 to share the benefit of saving for college in a 529 account rather than a traditional savings account. That’s because all contributions and earnings grow tax-free in a 529 plan, meaning your money will go farther compared to savings in a traditional, low-interest savings account. SWIPE to see a cool graphic they put together to show the difference it can make over time!
DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last yea DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last year was sooo simple! We picked up white eggs from the dollar store, painted them, and then hot glued them to a styrofoam wreath! 🐣🌷✨ #easterdiy #diy #easter #eastereggs
