went to Coney Island!

We go to Brooklyn frequently but this was our family's first trip to Coney Island.
What a perfect way to spend Labor Day, eating Nathan's hot dogs, riding the attractions at the 90 year old Wonder Wheel Amusement Pier and walking along the beach....

Photos taken with the Hipstamatic iPhone app,
it's really fun with tons of options to tweak your photos

is buying an iPhone cover

I'm back! It's been a while, I planned to take a short break over Memorial Day weekend that grew out of control.....

Let's catch up!
What have you been into? What have you been buying? What have you been doing?


I've been eyeing this Kate Spade iPhone case for a few days and am finally going to ante up and order it tonight. I was a big blackberry fan prior to getting my iPhone but I am now a happy convert who can't really imagine life with out it so I gotta keep it safe. The fact that this is Kate Spade, one of my favorite accessories brands, is an added bonus.

Aren't these colors great for summer?




Until tomorrow,

was thoroughly disguested with her lunch!!

Don't get me wrong - It tasted great. But really, who knew a quarter pounder with cheese was 510 calories! Not to mention the extra big mac sauce I had them add. I'm not a diet freak by any means but after several pregnancies in a short period of time, 2 c-sections and let's be honest metabolism and age are not amigos, I am starting to make somewhat more careful choices.

I've been using a great program called myfitnesspal.com to help me keep a daily diary of my food and exercise. They determined for my height and ideal weight I need approximately 1200 daily calories. Some days I'm motivated and make smart choices, other days I try to stretch my allotted amount as far as possible with meals and snacks that aren't as nutritious but in smaller portions to stay under the radar. Trickery never tasted so good.......

How do you stay fit?

Until tomorrow,
Hilary


By the way, McDonald's new limited edition Olympic sweet chili sauce for the McNuggets is delish!!
