Proof that Bill and I were just ‘meant to be’ can be found in this video. This is the kind of stuff that entertains us for hours on end… we did a little experiment with some packing peanuts. I’m not sure if these have been around for ages but it is impressive to see what…

Yes, Jenelle. Snow is actually cold.
Bill took this video of me making my first snow angel and the first time I’ve ever laid down on snow! In all of our previous storms I have never had the chance to really enjoy it. With this though, I didn’t realize Bill was filming. So embarrassing but a fun memory. For some reason…
Snow… again!
Last night we got hit with another snow storm that ended up dumping a lot more snow than what was predicted. It has been a couple of crazy weeks for me – I have been offered a job and will start on Monday and at the same time have been stuck in bed this week…
Brooklyn Public Library
I have started volunteer work at the Brooklyn Public Library working the front desk as a welcome desk ambassador. This means I help people get to where they have to go in the library, answer questions about the building, give directions and ensure that people are guided in the right direction to get the information…
A walk and day at the museum
Last Saturday we spent the afternoon at the Brooklyn Museum to visit the exhibition on Norman Rockwell. I love Norman Rockwell’s work – I first came to know of him in a very strange way. About ten years ago there was a movie on the Australian Hallmark Channel called Norman Rockwell’s Breaking Home Ties. I…
Snow day baking
Last Friday we had a beautiful snow storm here that created the most delightful snowflakes ever… they weren’t really flakes they were puffs! It was like cotton wool balls slowly falling from the sky. Just beautiful! I tried to capture it in photos but snow like this doesn’t photograph as beautiful as it looks… so…
On the 12th day of Christmas…
I finish up the 12 days of Christmas blogging challenge with a pretty mundane day actually! I started my name change process. UGH! The Social Security office here in Brooklyn is so crazy that it opens at 7am… yes a government office! The lines normally snake through the building and out on the street. A…
Jenelle’s Lebanese Kitchen
Today I set about cooking a Lebanese feast of food in our little kitchen and it was so relaxing. It is nice to mix up normal midweek meals and being home at the moment means I can do things like this… LOVE IT! In case you didn’t know, from mum’s side of the family I…
One reason I am happy that Christmas is over…
Hopefully we will no longer be subjected to these… the worst ads ever that made me scream every time they come on the TV. I know I am doing what they want by posting these but seriously these are the most annoying ads ever and they have been totally overplayed this holiday season so I…
Such a perfect day…
We have had a positively perfect January 1! Last night there were a lot of parties in our building. Our apartments are small and it sounded like there were 50 people next door and then down the hall it sounded like an were were living in an actual nightclub. Everything was quiet by about 1.30…
