Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

Four Things

 

I was pretty excited when Ashley from A Silver Twig tagged me to participate in the Four Things survey. I love these things! So fun! I found Ashley's blog after she posted the article, Why Your Crush on My Husband is Not Ok, and really loved her style. Many of her topics resonate with me, and I'm happy to have made a new 'blog' friend in Ashley! So without further ado, here's my four things!

 

Four names people call me:

1. Rachel

2. Mommy

3. Ray

4. RH --->I work with 2 other Rachels in a 13-person company!

 

Four jobs I've had:

1. Brand director at a brand licensing agency

2. Brand licensing coordinator for a major children's brand

3. Slide label girl at a large architecture firm

4. Intern in daytime television PR

 

Four movies I have/would watch more than once:

1. You've Got Mail --->like a zillion times actually

2. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation --->a holiday staple

3. Wedding Crashers --->a beloved basic cable classic

4. Despicable Me & any other animated film #momproblems

 

Four books I would recommend:

1. The Pillars of the Earth--->one of my all-time favorites

2. The Outlander series--->I'm knee deep in book #3

3. The Girl on the Train--->read it in under 24 hours

4. The Goldfinch--->a commitment but oh-so-good, esp. since most of it takes place in New York

 

Four places I have lived:

1. Old Bridge, NJ --->where I grew up

2. Manhattan --->I went to NYU

3. Jersey City --->our first apartment

4. Jersey City --->we bought an apartment in a different neighborhood

 

Four places I have visited:

1. Aruba --->our annual family vaca

2. Madrid, Spain---> our last big vacation before we had Penelope

3. Charleston, South Carolina --->my sisters and I took my mom for girls weekend last year

4. Tallinn, Estonia

 

Four places I'd rather be right now:

I'm happy where I am, but am also suffering from severe wanderlust!

2. Paris

3. Napa Valley

4. being touristy in just about any city

 

Four Favorite Foods

4. peanut butter --->on a spoon works for me

 

Four TV shows I watch:

1. Shameless

2. Jeopardy ---> our nightly staple.

3. Game of !@#$ing Thrones

4. Outlander

 

Four things I'm looking forward to in 2015:

1. Family vacations --->this year it's Aruba & Delaware

2. My sister's wedding

3. Sitting by the pool and swimming with Penelope

4. My aunt & uncle's annual PA camp out --->which reminds me, I need a new air mattress!

 

Four things I say all the time:

1. What is it, my love? --->when talking to Penelope

2. I can't. --->as in, I can't even. literally.

3. I love that/I hate that

4. Where's my little sweet p? --->to which Penelope responds "right here!" and I die.

2. Lauren @ Keep it Sweet

3. Emily @ a nutritionist eats

4. Sues @ We Are Not Martha

I love finding out how people find me but it seems like almost everyone says that same post so now I've learned to just assume it.

I loved:
Jeopardy ---> our nightly staple. (because it's ours too)
Game of !@#$ing Thrones (because I died at !@#$ing)

and "where's my little sweet pea?" is too cute! That's just adorable. Thanks so much for playing along!
