It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year! Celebrate the season at some of these awesome holiday events happening in and around Westchester and Fairfield Counties. Some events are brand new for ‘23; some are old favorites; and still others are somewhere in between - “reinventions", I’d say.

This time of year is always very busy. No matter what holiday(s) you celebrate, there’s a lot of shopping, cooking, wrapping and decorating to do. Then there’s usually even more shopping after that.
In between all of your holiday chores this year, spend some time celebrating the season by checking out a few of these awesome holiday events happening locally in and around Westchester and Fairfield Counties. There’s so much to pick from, but these are my favorites.
Read MoreA Cozy Winter Weekend at the Sagamore Resort
/
The Sagamore Resort is a historic hotel sitting directly on Lake George in a tiny but cute town called Bolton Landing, NY.
It is widely known as a popular Northeast summer destination but since (i) we’d probably never make it here in summer (#TeamMaine) and (ii) we noticed this spot offered some INDOOR attractions, off we went to the Sagamore on a January long weekend road trip!

Well yes, almost a full year into a global pandemic, this holiday season is going to be very different. This year, there will be less socializing, less pictures with Santa, less in person activities, and probably, more presents for your loved ones to make up for all the rest.
COVID is on the rise and this is not the time to gather in big groups indulging in holiday merriment. But the holiday spirit CAN still exist in a global pandemic. I’ve rounded up a bunch of ways that, with masks on and at least six feet of distance kept, you and your cohort can nevertheless celebrate the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Read MoreA LIST: Here's Where to Feed Your Kids
/
I love good food. I have two kids. Although it’s not always easy, I take those two kids out to restaurants A LOT. And, believe it or not, after years of dining out, they actually LOVE going to restaurants; and they are slowly getting better at sitting in their chairs for an entire meal.
There are so many food blogs out there. But none really focus on family friendly dining - particularly the kind of family friendly dining that doesn’t in any way resemble Chuck E. Cheese.
So here now is a running list of my suggestions, separated by geography, on where to Feed Your Kids. No, these spots are not like the cafe inside your local day care - these are legit restaurants that cater to adults. But I have done each of these with our kids, and I know you can and SHOULD, too!
I will continually update these lists - so check back often! AND ENJOY!
Read MoreLiberty (Science Center) and Justice For All!
/
Just on the other side of the Holland Tunnel lies a children’s museum that every kid in the tri-state needs to visit - whether by car, PATH train or Uber. That museum is Jersey City’s Liberty Science Center.
According to its website, Liberty Science Center aims “to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers and excite learners of all ages about the power, promise, and pure fun of science and technology.” Focus on that last “technology” bit because Liberty Science really does offer impressively high tech, modern and interactive exhibits.

I love a lot about living in the Tri-State Area, but it’s pretty undeniable our weather sucks. So much of the year is gloomy and cold, and then much of the warm weather season is too humid to be comfortable. So when I say that American Dream is a game changer for this area, I mean that, it’s an entirely indoor play land of fun for all ages; and it’ll be fun whether it’s humid or frigid outside. It’s a game changer.
The first of many activities to open at American Dream is Nickelodeon Universe - an indoor theme park similar to the one that exists at the Mall of America.

If your kid loves all things pink and glitter, take them to Sparklicious in Mount Kisco ASAP. My goodness is this place adorable. My younger daughter - who very much falls into the pink glitter category - was made to feel like royalty here. And I was just super jealous the whole time.
