New York Hotel Suggestions Please!

I am getting ready to plan Tori's trip to New York this summer. If anyone has been to New York and can recommend a hotel, please leave comments below! The plan is to use public transportation (taxis and subway) so they'll need to be in the city in order to see all of the places on Tori's wish list (Broadway play, Central Park (horse and buggy ride), American Girl Store, etc)!

I have ordered Fodor's Guide to New York, as well as Frommer's, but they will not be here for a few more weeks!

Fabulous service from Addicted to Rubber Stamps!

Yesterday I went online to http://www.addictedtorubberstamps.com and placed an order for items to make my Easter cards. Guess what was in my mailbox today!!!! Yep, my order arrived TODAY! To top it off, not only did I receive the rubber stamp I ordered (pictured below--sorry, now you know what your easter card will look like!), and the rub-ons, they also sent a few pieces of hard candy AND a foam stamp!

I LOVE great customer service!!! So, just a note to all my friends and family, if you are in the market for craft items, check them out!

Great Mango and Peach Salsa

The other night I made fish tacos with Talapia, cabbage and a mango and peach salsa. I have to say that the Santa Barbara Mango Peach Salsa is the best I've found! You can find their salsa at http://sbsalsa.com/.
