Gingerbread Houses

posted on : December 8, 2015 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment
A very considerate friend gave my three children the most perfect Gingerbread houses.  The only glitch is that they have to decorate them!!!  This is going to be our weekend project.  We will be armed with Royal Icing and up to our eyeballs in candy, BUT we really need some inspiration.  Aren’t these the most wonderfully decorated houses?  I think my favorite is the gumdrop!  FYI you can actually go on the site Grin and Bake It and they have a gingerbread house candy list full of fun decorating ideas.  Check it out HERE.

Book Club Monday

posted on : December 7, 2015 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment
This blog takes me on a daily journey to find the most interesting things to post for my readers.  Whether it be a play, must try recipe, a person of interest or scouring the web for the perfect real estate stalking property.  However, my latest adventure last week had to be one the best so far.  I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to hear Diane Von Furstenberg speak about her life, her accomplishments, her disappointments and so much more.  She was so candid and animated, that I was just in awe of this amazingly talented lady.  Her clothes have always been so iconic.  Who would not love to have a closet full of DVF?  But, Diane, the woman, is so much more that her brand.  She is so inspirational with her mission of empowering women.  She believes a women should be independent and always be her own person and be able to reach her goals without being afraid.  This and more is chronologized in her book The Woman I Wanted To Be.   Over this Christmas break, I intend to listen to the audio version of the book because I want to hear her life story in Diane’s own voice.  You can buy the book or audio book HERE!  Happy Reading (or listening).

Real Estate Stalking

posted on : December 5, 2015 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

This week’s real estate stalking is none other than the White House.  More specifically, the White House at Christmastime.  This year Carolina Herrera was asked to decorate the China Room.  I have always admired Ms. Herrera’s designs.  They have such a “ladies who lunch” elegance.  I really believe that no matter what the occasion, if you are fortunate enough to wear Carolina Herrera, you will be impeccably dressed.  So you can imagine how excited I was to see finished product of the China Room Holiday Decor.  The end result is truly beautiful.   What an inspiration, as I attempt decorate our tree this weekend!!!!
