The Holiday is officially here, and it is a fabulous time to be in New York City to immerse yourself in the quintessential NYC holiday moments. But we all know with the magic of the holidays comes higher stress levels and anxiety—it is, however, the little moments that we intentionally take to do the things we love and enjoy that make everything about the Holidays so darn special. Having a lovely meal has always been one of the ways I take time for myself in the midst of whatever is going on, and so today, we are sharing a preview of Places to Dine in NYC this December. Be sure to go to our website tomorrow for 30-plus Restaurants in NYC to dine at this month. We made our selections based on the quality of the Food and the Festiveness of the Restaurants. Save this list and share it with someone who likes food just as much as you do.

I do not remember how I stumbled on her Instagram. As I browsed her feed, I was intrigued by snippets of her blog posts. And although I do not have young children, the excerpts of her posts were not only exciting but relatable. Several days later, I poured myself a glass of wine and visited Mommylogue.blog. I was blown away by her stories. They were about her experiences as a mom, but they were so much more. Some of the things she wrote about were relatable; others gave me that aha moment, while others made me contemplate. She is affectionately known as Elle DoubleU Pepper on Instagram, and it is also her gracious signature on Mommylogue.blog. Still, Lindsey Whiting-Schnepper is a 40 something real-life mommy documenting mommyhood in all its glory and glamour (or not-so-glamorous moment). A bachelor’s degree graduate from Hofstra University and a dual Master’s Degree graduate from New York University. What started as a therapeutic exercise for Lindsey and a way to document milestones and memories of her boys’ lives have blossomed into something raw, honest, at times messy, beautiful accounts of true mommyhood. Head over to our site for all the details on Lindsey Whiting-Schnepper and @mommylogue — Link in our Bio. #brooklyn #nyc #mommyhood #mommycommunity #bkls #motherhood #elledoubleUpepper #womenshistorymonth (at NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbasPeCvQAK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today we remember and honor Civil Rights Leader Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and we’re sharing ten quotes that continue to inspire us daily. (6) “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” (7) “Forgiveness is not an occasional act. It is a permanent attitude.” (8) “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” (9) “You know, a lot of people don’t love themselves. And they go through life with deep and haunting emotional conflicts. So the length of life means that you must love yourself. And you know what loving yourself also means? It means that you’ve got to accept yourself.” (10) “Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think. A Few facts about Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.: He was such a gifted student that he skipped two grades in High School and went to college at the age of 15 He won a Grammy in 1971 for his speech “Why I am Opposed to the War in Vietnam” There are 1000+ Streets that are named after Dr. King globally. Stevie Wonder’s 1980 release “Happy Birthday,” played an Enormous role in creating Martin Luther King Day, the first national holiday honoring a Black American, celebrated on the third Monday of January each year. (After touring, Stevie Wonder received six million signatures in favor of the holiday).

Cheers to the end of this chapter. This note ( sent to me by a friend--I don’t know who wrote it) and this video by @mainamind pretty much sums up my message for the final day of the year. But as I sit on the floor of my kitchen in sincere Gratitude for the people who were kind and compassionate towards me when I needed it the most this year. Those who took the time to call or text encouraging words of comfort when I felt lost or worst than I’ve felt in my life… I am so grateful. But I also want to express gratitude for those who treated me unkindly, the ones that weren’t compassionate, the ones I thought would have been there for me, the ones who made me feel worst when I was at my lowest I’m equally grateful for you because you have shown me exactly who you are but even more importantly Who I Am… and for that I am so grateful So at midnight when we gently walk into 2022 remember to be grateful for every blessing that comes your way in 2022 — our blessings comes as a beautiful experiences, kind people, new opportunities but they also come in teaching moments. 🥂 to 2022 — May it be everything you wish for and so much more.
