Goodbye January! Hello February!
I love recapping what we’ve shared here on the blog for the month because it is always fun and delightful to look back to those memories not to mention, it is also one way of letting you know what you may have missed that you would have loved to read. 😉
After sharing with you the best of 2016 in family, food and travel, here’s our first recap of the year. Some of the stories that we’ve shared in January happened last year, but our post schedule for December was so packed we couldn’t fit them all in. And that’s because there was just a lot to share with regards to our holiday trip. So without further ado, here’s our January recap!
FAMILY
We went to a drive-through light show a few days before Christmas and it was such a fun place to be with the whole family. Loved all the fun structures they created.
FOOD
Since the time I saw a recipe about Paleo online, I’ve been wanting to prepare one. I finally got to do it last week after seeing a recipe. I tweaked it a bit, but it was still delicious. Have you tried the Shrimp & Sausage Skillet Paleo yet?
I love smoothies so much either for breakfast or for my afternoon snack. I’ve shared my simple and easy yet delicious recipe for Avocado Smoothie Bowl and I hope you’ve tried it.
Got the opportunity to try out a new restaurant while we were at the airport for our holiday trip. We didn’t only enjoy our breakfast at Whisky River, I enjoyed the interior decoration too.
TRAVEL
Both the hubs and I have shared a lot about our holiday trip to New York City last December. The hubs talked about the art deco of New York City as well as our experience in the Empire State Building and his own take on that wonderful and magical Christmas trip.
I am Catholic by faith and seeing St. Patrick’s Cathedral was just amazing. It is definitely the most beautiful cathedral that I’ve ever seen. Not only was I amazed with the Cathedral, I was also amazed with the huge billboards and all the lights and mayhem in Times Square. Dang! No wonder it is one of the most famous spots in the Big Apple.
How was your January?
That shrimp and sausage skillet was so good! I actually made the recipe, and my family loved it.
Breakfast at Whisky River sounds fun. I didn’t even realize it was February already, I’ve been a day behind all week.
There is so much to share about NYC! I am glad you split things up into various posts. So much to do, see and eat in NYC!
It’s hard to believe that January is already over. I am really looking forward to Valentine’s Day. January was great, we celebrated my son’s Birthday.
I made the shrimp and sausage skillet and the kids loved it. I will be making it again soon.
Oh my, January flew by so quickly. I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is almost here. I followed your NYC adventures.
It sounds like you had a blast in January. I love spending time with family and seeing new things with them. St. Patrick’s Cathedral I would love to see. My January was great and spent some quality time with my sons who are men now.. Thanks for sharing your amazing experiences.
Sounds like you had a decent start to your new year. Last month was a pretty good one. I was surprised about that. Normally the year doesn’t start off to well for me.
I would love to see the St. Patrick Cathedral, that would be an awesome experience.. What a fruitful month for you!
It is crazy January is already gone! I visited St. Patrick’s when I was in NYC. Isn’t it just beautiful?
It is absolutely beautiful! 🙂
Wow! You had an amazing January! We just kept trying to get over colds, haha.
sounds like a great January, you lucky woman you! (Way better than my Jan.!) Glad you had such a great month and hope you have a loving fun February!
Visiting New York in Christmas is the best. I love the window displays and seeing all the lights.
awww, sounds like you guys had a fun trip! I’ve never been to New York before but hoping to visit the big Apple someday. Thanks for sharing!
My favorite of your blog is your family adventure at NYC, I love those photos.
January went by so fast!! Sounds like yall had a blast in NYC. There is a ton of things to do there!
We’ve been working more and more smoothies into our diets, I hadn’t noticed your avocado one but we will be giving it a shot.
It’s almost Valentine’s Day! Welp! It looks like you had an awesome month and I’m sure February will be just as good.
Sounds like you a great month! I hope your February is just as awesome!!

Sounds like you had an amazing month! My January has been easy, nothing really special, we had pretty bad weather in San Diego.
Sounds like an amazing January! Love St.Pat’s Cathedral, absolutely breathtaking!
New York is one of my favorite places in the United States. There is so much to do and see. Did you get to see a show? I can’t wait to go back soon with my little girls and take in a show in the most magical city in the North East.
We didn’t get to watch a show. Hopefully next time. 🙂
