Happy Tony Sunday to Those Who Celebrate...

This time last year I was holding a Tony at the Paper Mill Playhouse and seeing RENT. This year I get to watch at home. Which honestly works out for what I need right now. It's a tad bittersweet as my mom and I loved watching the show together. But she will watch with me in a new way! So surreal what life could look like each year. Love you, mommy. Miss you dearly.

International Women’s Day.

I want to tell anyone who identifies as a woman that it is ok to remind folks every single day that there is power within you. Remind people of your confidence. Remind people of who you are and why you're this way. It's ok to be the energy that lights up a room. It's ok to exist and be!

DISNEY AT NYCC - 2019

Another year another Comic-Con in the books! I usually try to go every year for at least one day. I don’t like to go the full four days because it gets to be too intense and the likelihood of getting sick goes up crazy the longer you are around that many people (a perfect example is my fiance getting sick this week because of it!). I was there Friday and opted out of panels but did do a photo op that you can see below!

Now we (mostly me) had been searching for a reservation to Be Our Guest for MONTHS prior and finally was able to get one for dinner.
