Friday I met up with Jenn & Kevin for their engagement session at Pepsico World Headquarters in Purchase, NY. Pepsico has the coolest sculpture garden surrounding the office building with ponds, fountains, gorgeous trees and all kinds of goodies. We had fun roaming the grounds and getting yelled at by security guards (I SWEAR I was not IN that sculpture!), then befriended by another security guard who took quite a liking to Jenn and Kevin! It turned out to be a gorgeous day and with the cherry blossoms, crabapples and magnolias in bloom it was pure paradise! If I were ever the corporate type, I think I’d want to work at Pepsico Headquarters - they sure have an awesome view and they even have a basketball court and I think we saw a fitness center in there! Hopefully we will be heading back there on their wedding day in September!

Thanks so much again Jenn & Kevin! I had a great time hanging out with you again! I can’t wait for the wedding!

We couldn’t have asked for nicer weather Saturday! I met up with Linda and Paul at Hammonassett State Park/Beach to start the day off with their adorable pug named Jack and then Linda, Paul and I headed to Mystic Seaport for a fabulous view and some fun roaming around the grounds! Are they not the cutest couple ever? They are so much fun and I cannot wait until their big day! =) Click the image for a slideshow!

In light of Earth Day, I’d love to hear what everyone is doing to save our resources and our planet! We all have heard things you can do to help, but I want to know who is really doing something - not just today, but EVERY day! Inspire someone else to do something - share what you do (or don’t do!).

Here are some ideas to start:

-Bring your own canvas bags for your shopping

-Don’t take unnecessary trips - make a plan of where you need to go, what you need to do and map out your route to avoid running back and forth and all over town for no reason.

-TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS when you don’t need them

-TURN OFF THE WATER when you aren’t using it

-Pick up trash where ever you see it

-Buy a water filter and a Nalgene bottle - stop buying those disposable plastic water bottles!

-Walk or ride your bike rather than taking your car when possible

-Carpool

-Pay your bills online

-Turn off your computer when you’re not using it

-Only use heat and air when really needed - and keep it below 65 in the winter and above 75 in the summer.

-TURN OFF YOUR SPRINKLERS!! I can’t tell you how crazy it makes me to see my neighbor’s lush green grass in the middle of winter only because of the amount of water, fertilizer and pesticides their landscapers use. You don’t NEED a lush green lawn.

-Reuse and Recycle whatever you can - I can’t tell you how many people I know that STILL don’t recycle and it’s a real shame - especially when you consider how much easier it is to recycle than it was 20 years ago.

-Buy locally grown foods or grow your own

Now let’s hear your ideas and what you do!
