A photo a day...

Just like March, April seemed to fly by (how is it already May 8th?!). New York was blessed with weeks of sunny weather, Brian and I had a romantic getaway to Cape May, and I spent a lot of time catching up with friends around the city. It was a fantastic month. I also participated in the April Photo a Day Challenge! 


Here are my 30 photos for the 30 days of April...


1. Your reflection Rainy day reflection. Do you see me? 

2. Color My nails were painted with my new favorite polish, Thanks a Windmillion, three out of the four weeks of April. 

3. Mail I love real mail! I sent out a lot of Peeps Easter cards this year. 

4. Someone who makes you happy It's no secret Brian makes me very happy. 

5. Tiny Our little ducklings in science were not so tiny anymore on April 5th!
