Paname

Paname is a wonderful French Restaurant in NYC on 56th street and second avenue near the corner. I was invited by the Su Chef Bernard to eat.

     The restaurant definitely had a classy fine dining look to it, and I had previewed the menu on line so I already knew what I wanted to order. There is definitely a reservation section on their web site that you would want to take advantage of. I also saw a Fourth of July meal deals similar to the lunch and dinner offers in 3 course pre selected meals that are worth taking advantage of.

    So from what I can tell this restaurant is a New York City hidden gem! My invitation was for 2 people but I brought both my 8 and just turned 7 year old daughters figuring I would just have to pay for the extra meal. Bernard was kind enough to let us ALL eat for free, which I though made him awesome!

     The website doesn't show a kids menu but Vera our waitress provided each child with one. Mind you this is an upscale reasonably priced establishment so, my daughter in their long dresses drank from long stem water glasses and ate spaghetti with both a fork and spoon.

    The kids menu had different types of pasta that could be paired with chicken, bologna (strange, but we are talking about kids). The pasta could be plain, buttered or with marinara sauce. The oldest (8) chose the grilled chicken with fries. I had the Tilapia with toasted almonds and asparagus/broccoli.

   While I enjoyed my white wine the guy a few tables from us chowed down on a steak and I felt we need to make 2 more trips back so I could have the steak and the duck I spotted on the menu. The service was great! The food was great! We enjoyed ourselves very much and will go back soon =)

snackBOX by Rosco shoppe box review

There are a lot of my favs and new products I had never tried before in this box. For every snackBOX purchased $1 dollar is given to help support the Feed My Starving Children Organization (one meal cost $0.22 to make, that's about 4 meals). What makes this care package different from others is that there are 40 items containing meals and snacks, instead of just snacks.

Some products are cups of noodles, cinnamon oat meal and cheez its along with oreos. This box can be sent to the military (small and only 4.3lb), college, meetings, road trips, winter storage, or for people who moved and can't find their favorite snacks any where =). You can also send this package ahead to a hotel to have in your room. You receive a code for a discount on your next snackBOX purchase. You can find out more about Feed My Starving Children at https://fmsc.org/ The shipment on the box can the first day it was suppose to be delivered. The box was perfect and the small tightly packed box was very convenient and will probably be reused to store art supplies.

You can purchase snackBOX  here for $35:

Book Review : The Adventures Of An Urban Fox: Maggie Arrives

My family enjoyed reading this book very much. I felt the words and some sentence structures in the beginning of the book might be a little difficult for my 8 year old oldest so I read it aloud to my both of my daughters 6 & 8. I found it to be extremely engaging and the end tidbit that this is partially a true story drawn from the writers own encounters with Urban Foxes in England added with a bit of England Fox history, was exciting to say the least.

There is a show of growth in characters after a few chain of events, a black cat that showed more curiosity and consideration for other animals, a tabby cat that speaks up more often and a fox who learns to trust. 

This book and the author seem like a tell all loving bunch and my daughters Will Love to revisit Maggie's adventure while waiting for new ones! My youngest was draw in my her love for animals and my oldest loved the dialogue and adventure.

This ebook can be purchased on Amazon for Kindle at the price of $2.99
