I won’t lie; I have a MAJOR sweet tooth. I love most anything sweet, but cookies are definitely a favorite. The Cookie Factory in Troy happens to make exceptionally good cookies, among other sweets. I’ve frequented their bakery to pick up treats for events, or just for me when I’m […]

Coffee Houses. Most people have a favorite, and I feel like they say something about you. I have friends who love Café Vero, and they will have to find a new home to drink their coffee in soon as the establishment is closing. Friends who love hanging out at the […]
How do you like your tea? The weather has been cold, grey, and rainy the past couple of days, a perfect time to pick yourself up with a warm cup of tea. I love my tea with a little honey, and who knows tea better than the British? I’m not […]
Birds songs, turkey, whitetail deer, wild flowers, and waterfalls; the makings of a lovely spring hike. It was gorgeous out today, so I wanted to get my guy into nature after he got out of work. We’ve been on a kick trying new places to hike lately, and went to […]
I’ll let you in on a great secret, Albany Public Library’s museum passes! They expanded their program recently and now you and your friends or family can go to all of these fantastic museums, for free! All you need is a library card.
Because I don’t have a backyard, I spend a lot of time in local parks. Washington Park is my go to because of its close proximity, but I love checking out other parks for some new scenery. I checked out Prospect Park in Troy, had some fun in the sun, and […]
Breakfast today was at “The Eatery” at Carol’s Place in Troy. We had never been in before, but the place was packed so we figured they must be doing something right, and their sign said ‘everything homemade’ so we were excited. After our coffees came over the waitress brought us […]
My man’s friends came to Albany for a visit to see the Hendrix Experience concert at the Palace Theater, it was phenomenal. We had a great time jamming out with Dweezil Zappa, Buddy Guy, and countless other rock gods, and the Palace is a striking venue. However, the boys being […]
Muza. I like the way that sounds, and I like the way what I ordered tastes. I was sitting in a Lebanese restaurant in Troy, Beruit (absolutely fantastic experience there, and I’ll tell you about it another day), and I over heard someone talking about Polish food in Troy. I’d […]
I am so thankful I have rediscovered the library. So many people spend so much money purchasing an e-reader or buying books, and I don’t mind support authors once in a while, but the library is so free! It allows me to read so much more on a budget. Many […]
Food. Hospitality. Environment. I went to Carmen’s Café in Troy and was completely floored. My experience there was perfect! Let me stop gushing. My boyfriend and I went for breakfast. I had flan French toast…need I say more? I will. It was beyond delicious so sweet and hit every spot! […]
HEY! You like Waffles? Any old waffle can help cure a hangover, or a healthy morning appetite. Almost all waffles are good, but only few are darn good. If you’ve been to Troy’s Farmers Market I hope you have tried the Belgian Liege Wafels, and if you haven’t, you should. […]
