It’s hard for me to find a book that has not been read by my readers…but today’s choice might be it!!!!!….One of my favorite authors Jojo Moyes (Me Before You) is releasing a new book TOMORROW, Still Me. I am so excited to read this..I really love all of Jojo Moyes books. Here is the summary……
Louisa Clark arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. She has been hired by the superrich Gopniks: Leonard and his unhappy, much younger second wife, Agnes– and finds herself amid a never-ending array of household staff and hangers-on. But Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her job and this very privileged New York life.
Soon though, Lou realizes that life in the Gopnik household is not as straightforward as it first seemed. She alos begins to make friends who inhabit a less rarefied side of New York–from the building doorman and his rambunctious family to the sisters who run the quintessential vintage clothing store downtown, to the world’s crankiest neighbor, Margot De Witt, and her fierce little dog, Dean Martin.
Before she knows what’s happening, Lou is mixing in New York high society, where she meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past. As Lou tries to keep the two sides of her world together, she finds herself carrying secrets–not all her own–that cause a catastrophic change in her circumstances. And when matters come to a head, she has to ask herself, Who is Louisa Clark? And how do you reconcile a heart that lives in two places? Amazon.com

Yesterday, I sampled the most amazing cheese board from Graze New York. Graze was started by local mom Shari Ivler. While raising her two young girls, Shari found herself entertaining a ton in her home. She began making the most beautiful boards full of delicious treats to serve to her guests. Shari decorates each board with little cards, flowers, and other special touches. Each one is truly a work of art and uber delicious. Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw the board. It was sooooooo GOOOD!!!!! Boards can be made for any occasion, from an intimate dinner party to a large family party. They make great gifts too!!! Shari does it all. She is working on some special boards for Game Day and smaller ones for Valentine’s Day, so order now!!!!!!

I really do not get sick a lot (knock on wood). But when I do feel something coming on, I have my methods to keep it at bay. Last week, I was fighting the flu for 3 days and I quarantined myself so it would not get worse. Here is what helps me (but if you do think you have the flu please do see your doctor or go to the walk in)… I am a firm believer in lots of Purell all year round but especially in the winter (I keep it in my car) and I use it non stop. Also I keep THESE adorable hand sanitizers in all my purses and my kids bags too!! I take NyQuil before bed, use Zicam Swabs every 5 hours but I absolutely positively MUST run to Whole Foods and get ginger shots (2X per day) and pray they are not out….Luckly for me and YOU!! I found this recipe for a homemade ginger shot that is just as good as the WF number. Here is a quick and easy ginger shot recipe that will keep the winter colds and flu away!!!! Stay Well Readers!!!!!
I don’t really mention the jewel that is right in our own backyard, The Rye Arts Center. I love stopping by to check out their amazingly curated exhibits. I need to feature them more because we really are so lucky to have such an incredible local space available to us. The Rye Art Center has grown into the largest multi art center in our area. The facility now includes an art gallery, art studios for children and adults, a preforming arts room, maker space, digital arts room, practice rooms and many more!!!!! They also have incredible events like the one this Friday and Next Friday, A Theater Cabaret, Everybody Knows I’m Guilty. This cabaret concert by Leonard Cohen and Randy Newman is sure to be a HIT. I went last night to the rehearsal and I was blown away by the talent of the performers. If you are in town, you NEED to go. For more information or to buy tickets, click HERE;
