  • Come shop with mommy and Anna for Chloe's 9th birthday! Chloe is such a joy and I wanted to get her a few special things. We went to a couple of fun toy stores and to the American Girl Doll Store in Rockefeller center. My sweet Anna was my shopping chaperone. She also kept me from getting lost 😅.

    I adore this for so many reason. Your thoughtfulness in choosing gifts, appreciating subway art, toys (it shows in your children too). I love that you took us in some local shops. Those are always a treat to find when I visit NYC. How you happened upon a parade??? if that isn’t classic NYC I don’t know what is. And of course the American Girl store. My daughter is grown but visiting Chicago and letting my daughter pick out a doll is one of my core memories. Over the years she ended up with several. She had Kit and Addie & lots of their accessories. What a wonderful day. 🎂

    You are so very hip and cosmopolitan - you fit right in, in NYC / I guess from living in San Diego. My son lives in S Ca and he’s very artsy as well including his foods.
    I lived in the greater DC area, but I never got used to riding the metro and so many people! Plus you are up to date with all the latest. You remind me of my artist, interior designer, architect, engineer daughter - she loves and notices the details like mosaics - she would enjoy everything you looked at and admired and she loves to shop.
    So glad you could see the parade for a short time. My family went to the Macy’s Day parade.
    Your little girl is very smart like her mama.
    I enjoyed shopping from a distance. LOL.
    I came from small towns, but as a military spouse, I lived in many places and Europe, and have done some extensive travel, but the small town never left me.
    Thanks for the adventure.

    I love that you always appreciate the architecture, skyline, nature/parks, subway & street art! Obviously NYC isn't perfect but I think people let that take away from how beautiful it is. I'm on Long Island & LOVE being in the city, I have many friends that hate it but we have everything that people don't like about NYC except for the subway. I feel like the beauty out weights everything else & I love that you embrace the everyday beauty you walk past that many overlook 💖

I loved seeing inside the little bookstores and boutiques. Im catching up ol okser videos. Still a bit new to channel.

      Yes, I do miss the dolls from the 80s, they still have a few historical dolls but not as many. Still I appreciate the “girlhood” of the dolls. Barbies feel a little too adult to me.

      We had a Suzuki instructor in San Diego that allowed them to start early. But even if you can’t find that in your area there is a lot of instruction online to at least get started. That’s a new thing in the internet era.

    hey, I just noticed your family claims to be Christian, but I just wanted to share the Gospel. you can try to be a "good person," but the Scriptures state that NONE are good EXCEPT for God, meaning that we can never save ourselves or earn our way to God or obtain a pass to Heaven by being "good." we can only be saved by the grace of God through faith in Him alone. we must turn from our sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. we must live for Him, denying ourselves, taking up our cross and following Him. you must be BORN AGAIN, transformed by the Holy Spirit of the living God. to be born again is to have a desire, a great and burning desire that consumes all of you, to serve Christ and Him alone.

    • @TheHappyCaravan
