LOVE the color of Autumn!! Fleeces,  boots, fuzzy socks, early sunsets and tea.  Pumpkin Spice and everything nice  is  back.  And Falls’ magic hour has begun. Mother Nature has the best box of crayons!

These perfectly crisp weeks are precious so to make the most of the season, New York State has created a Fall Foliage Report that provides the latest news on where to find the leaves at their peak moments around the state. Think bright, bold and beautiful, bursting with reds, oranges and greens. Promise it will be a #NoFilter selfie.

Go out and smell the Autumn breeze and enjoy the change.

DOT TO DOT NYC #DOTTODOTNYC @CityLab

As a child I always loved to paint.   Paint by numbers, that is.  I would paint cats, dogs, landscapes and always thought my drawings were the next best thing to a Picasso.  I did forget how much I enjoyed painting by numbers.  However I recovered my memory of my love for number painting when I received the sketch coloring book Dot To Dot NYC.

Dot To Dot NYC is a sketch by number coloring book as created by Narae Kim

Sketching by numbers is a lot of fun!  A little different then painting by numbers but even more interesting to complete.

The special thing about Dot To Dot NYC is it gives you the opportunity to draw epic New York City landmarks (revealed and completed by you).  I Love NY! <31286470098_500mae-evening-2010

Crayons or markers that’s all you need to visit the rides of Coney Island, the towers of the famous NYC skyline, the commute along the Staten Island Ferry, the wilderness of the Bronx Zoo, and many more NY land marks…

Dot To Dot NYC is not just for a rainy day, you can enjoy this celebration of the Big Apple as a keepsake of your visit, or spend your hours connecting the dots and inch yourself closer to your Broadway dream!  As a native New Yorker Dot To Dot NYC gives me the opportunity to really get to know the city I love.

The book is the creation of the Seoul-based artist Nara Kim. She visited New York City in 2012 and was smitten. The press release beckons New York lovers to arm themselves with drawing supplies and turn abstract clusters of dots into the city’s iconic skyline.

The Kraken’s Rules for Making Friends By Brittany R. Jacobs #POWkidsbooks

The Kraken’s Rules for Making Friends by Brittany R. Jacobs is a story of  a Kraken who did not have an easy time making friends.  Actually, the Kraken had no friends.   A Kraken is a terrifying sea monster and had a bad temper and always caused destruction which made the other sea creatures flee from the Kraken.

 Poor Kraken all he wanted was a friend.

The Kraken  tried many ways to get some friends but nothing really worked for him.  310dresses_updated                        Poor Kraken!

Making friends seemed impossible.  Until he meet the Great White Shark.  He wondered why The Great White Shark had no problem making friends.  So the Kraken asked”Excuse me, Shark,” said the Kraken.  “How Do you get all those fish to like you?  I mean, You’re a shark!”  And so the story goes as the Great White Shark lends a helping fin to help the Kraken make some friends by giving him some rules to follow.
