Less than an hour to go until Christmas, and I’m looking back on this amazing month celebrating with family and friends.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Part 1
I can’t believe it’s already Christmas Eve. Although I’m slightly in denial, I have had a great few weeks celebrating.
Food Adventures with Mom – Anassa Taverna
Last week, I had an impromptu lunch with my mom and daughter. We ate at Anassa Taverna in Astoria. Everything was yummy.

Visiting The Freakin Rican in Astoria
I’ve always wanted to check out this restaurant. I finally got the opportunity earlier this month having lunch with a good friend.
My friend had the mofongo with chicharron and loved it. I had the bistec with onions and rice and I brought home the pernil and rice. My bistec was okay but the pernil was amazing.
The restaurant has a very cozy vibe, and I look forward to coming back with my family.
Family dinner at Mokja
Last month, we had dinner at Mokja in Astoria. The food was amazing, and I still can’t forget how cute this restaurant was.
The restaurant had a very romantic kind of vibe. There were lights and flowers everywhere.
Another thing I loved about the restaurant was that it had a lot of personal touches. They had bag holders at each table. They also had bowls, cups, and silverware for kids. It was so cute and made my daughter feel special.
I will definitely be back. I recommend it for date nights, families, and small groups.
Summer Bucket List
Summer is here, and I’m all for it! This year, I decided to turn my bucket list into a bingo game to motivate myself and keep me present. Most of the time, I get caught up with life, so I hope this will keep me focused throughout the summer and, most importantly, have fun with my family. I’ll report back on how I’m doing.
Cherry Blossoms around the neighborhood
Friday was a little chaotic in New York due to the earthquake. I didn’t notice because I was checking out the cherry blossoms in the neighborhood. I felt the tremors a couple of hours later though! A friendly reminder to take a moment and enjoy nature.
Steinway Street Holiday Fun
Maxine and I had a fun time at a holiday celebration on Steinway Street this weekend.
Street Fairs in Astoria
Summer wouldn’t be summer without a street fair happening somewhere. My family and I got to enjoy two in the past week.
