Why living in New York City is Unique – The Icee Lady
What I love about living New York City is the availability of a truly unique experience that my daughter or I would never experience in the rest of the U.S. Sure, every neighborhood may have a Mr. Softee or Good Humour Ice Cream truck that comes to the neighborhood but do you have ices being […]
Therapy Thursday – Cha, Cha, Changes
