Over the weekend I went to see the Kips Bay Palm Beach Show House. I have gone to the Kip Bay Show House in NYC for the past 5 years and when the second outpost opened in Palm Beach, it was on my list to eventually get there. I missed last year’s so I am so glad that the stars aligned and I was able to visit the house while I was in Florida for a quick get a away with my book club girls!!!! We all loved the decor. Every room was so cherry and bright. Such perfect choices for a Florida home. It was very hard to choose my favorite room but I do think that I narrowed it down for you!!!! If you are in the Palm Beach area, def stop by. It closes on Feb 20th!!!
Over the weekend, a friend recommended this week’s book choice to me. I have read many reviews and such positive comments on The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. Here is the story:
This recipe was sent to me from a friend that received it from one of the Sacred Heart RSCJ’s. Basically the nuns from our school. It is sooo old school, I love it so much!!! Bon Appetit!!!

Today’s Book Club Monday choice is How To Break Up with Your Phone by Catherine Price. I saw this in a book store over the holidays and was immediately intrigued. I put it on my list for the new year and now I am getting around to breaking it out!!! From the reviews…I am hearing that it is a life changing must read…Here is how it goes:
Is your phone the first thing you reach for in the morning and the last thing you touch before bed? Do you frequently pick it up “just to check,” only to look up forty-five minutes later wondering where the time has gone? Do you say you want to spend less time on your phone—but have no idea how to do so without giving it up completely? If so, this book is your solution.
