Westchester Magazine is one of the best, if not the premier, magazine for Westchester county. I was lucky enough to get a call from a reporter earlier this week.  She was trying to answer a question from a reader about flooring - he was having some issues with allergies and the synthetic carpet that was there, and he wanted to know what other solutions could work for him. I was lucky that she stumbled across my blog and website (thank you Active Rain). If you have a chance, read the article in Westchester Magazine and feel free to leave a comment.  03/18/2011

We saw the Nutcracker Suite today - SUNY Purchase NY 10577. This was a fun day with my family and I had so much fun with my 7 yr old niece. My mom is now making this a family tradition - 3 yrs in a row. I needed a break from work, so it was perfect. While I was watching and listening, I couldn't stop thinking about the first time I saw the Nutcracker Suite and what an impression it made on me. I was probably 6 or 7 and of course we saw it at Lincoln Center. This is one of the huge benefits of living in Westchester...we are right next to the Culture Center of the world - New York City.  And, it's such a wonderful place to be this time of year - perfect for a Broadway show, the Nutcracker Suite, the Rockettes and Rockefeller Tree and Ice rink.  Nothing beats the holiday season in NYC.

Are you going to the Nutcracker Suite this year?  My parents are starting to make this an annual tradition for our family now that my niece is old enough to enjoy it.  She is now 7 and this will be her 3rd year attending. I remember it so well last year.  She was so adorable.  As we waited on line, they had a big warning sign that there was a real live cannon that makes a loud noise so warn your kids so they won't be scared.  Well I read the sign and my then 6 yr old niece got very nervous and wasn't sure if she wanted to stay.  We kept trying to assure her not to worry.  So, lot's of tension building up to this cannon...and, then, it went off, and it wasn't that loud, and she said, "Was that it?  That's a real let down.  Why did they make such a big deal about that?" Anyway, her eyes w... 10/22/2010
