with a little persistance...

...miracles happen!!
{again.}

Standing in line for the 2nd night in a row. We thought are chances were better since the temperature
dropped to the 30's & it was rainy, but the line was LONGER! Apparently everyone thought their
chances were better.Our luck turned once we found this lucky penny on the ground

And "Laneeda Lucero" was called!

The show was AMAZING! Just as good as the first time.
And once again, all the songs are stuck in my head.

how much weight can we gain in a week?

Today was another fun-filled day that makes me so excited to be living in the city, and twice as much when it's with my mom. We were supposed to go to Good Morning America this morning, but 5:15 a.m. rolled by way too early...and we slept in.

Once we finally woke up, we headed to a matinee of Whip It with Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore. I love Ellen Page's wit, and it turned out being a pretty funny movie. I'd recommend it. The movie followed with a needed trip to Shake Shack! That's right, once {or twice} a week has become the usual.

Walking off our lunch through Central Park. A bit breezy and cool,

but it was so beautiful seeing the changing of the leaves.

A chilly walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Dinner at Grimaldi's Pizzeria

i love nyc with my mom!!

My mom has FINALLY come to visit and we haven't stopped eating!! (at least we're walking alot, right?) 10 minutes after she arrived, we conveniently passed by Crumbs Bakery on the way home to introduce her to the City's finest!

{although I prefer Crumbs cupcakes way more over Magnolia's, I hear the banana pudding is
delicious...we'll have to try it out tomorrow}

The rink is up in Rockefeller Plaza, and it gets me SO excited for Christmas! And it was so adorable
there was a proposal on the rink while we were there! How romantic.

Heading into Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Stopping for a shot with the Fab Duo

{new season starts thursday!!!!}

mother dear i love you so.

In the spirit of Mother's Day, 

I wanted to send a shout out to my mother!

She is just the most beautiful and talented woman I know.

I wrote a list of things I love about her, 

but to spare embarrassment *mine and hers*, 

I cannot post them. :)

But, I sure do love her!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.
