Goodbye Sandy!

{Flower of the week in the apartment. I always keep fresh flowers in the apartment}

Well, thank goodness we survived the frightful hurricane Sandy unscathed {aka the Frankenstorm}. As unsettling it was with all the preparation for a storm, I must say I looked forward to all the snacking, eating and TV watching that comes with being storm bound. I was praying not to lose power and thank goodness we didn’t – that definitely was one of my most grateful moments! But now I’m starting to get a bit of cabin fever. Hope you and your loved ones are well.

Oh, here are a few of cool discoveries I stumbled upon on the web this past week that definitely put a smile on my face and heart after passing a couple of intense days anticipating hurricane Sandy:
