Over the past week, my entire family spent the holidays together in our hometown Poughkeepsie, NY. With our busy lives and living so far apart, it’s hard for our family to get together, so the week was very much a treat as we all took time off from work/school to be together. Our days were … More Holiday week with family in upstate New York + New Years in NYC
Next stop on my 3-week trip to the east coast was one week in Chicago for work, followed by Boston for a weekend to visit my brother.

My mom. Where do I even begin? I don’t know anyone more selfless, positive, and caring. I know my family and all of her friends would say the same thing.

This weekend had a LOT going on.

What was originally going to be a low-key weekend in SF turned out to be a spontaneous adventure in the snowy mountains.
