Family Friendly Paint- Available at Wallauer Paint and Design

When RNYD and I purchased our first home together, like most others, we didn’t know much about home renovation.  Newly “house poor” we didn’t know that there was a difference in paints. What we knew was that we needed clean looks, on a budget. Now 17 years later we certainly do.  Instead of looking at the instant price tag, we look at the quality of the paint, the products and at how well it lasts.

That last part is super IMPORTANT.  Our house gets USED.  What I mean by that is that we LIVE in our house.  Anything we do to it, or put in it, needs to be made to last, to withstand two active, energetic kids, as well as two active, energetic Labs.  Things that show wear and tear quickly have no place in our home.  If this sounds like you and after a year and a half of staring at your walls and you are ready for a change, this is for you.

This is a photo of my actual messy paint cans from my lake house reno this year (LOL).

The ONLY interior paint we purchase any more is Benjamin Moore Regal Select- which is available at Wallauer Paint and Design.  While a bit more expensive than your typical box store brand paints, it is well worth it.  The coverage of this paint is beyond compare.  It is a premium-quality, 100% acrylic paint and primer combined with excellent hide, spatter resistance, and seamless touch-ups. It offers exceptional flow and leveling for a smooth application, and quick dry time.  So what does that mean?  Less work with better results.

Here is a photo of the master bedroom at our lake house, this is a VERY bright color that we had to cover.  We chose to change it to grey.  
This was a fairly bold move. 

As if that wasn’t enough being that it will save you time if you do it yourself, and money if you are paying someone to apply it, there’s more.

  • Stain release technology that is easy to clean with less scrubbing (I can vouge for this, I am always cleaning my walls- two kids two labs).
  • Mildew resistant coating
  • Engineered with Gennex Color Technology (a proprietary system that includes-long lasting vibrant colors, consistent colors, and better coverage a few of the benefits).
    Did I mention it was beadboard?
    Also- this paint is safe enough for my kids to do the painting (YES!).

Here’s the other biggie.  Regal Select is a No VOC product.  This is important to us because we try to be environmentally friendly in everything we do (see our solar panels), but the health of our kids and our pets is number 1.  As stated on the Benjamin Moore website “VOCs are Volatile Organic Compounds. When it comes to paint, VOCs are often added for better open time and freeze-thaw resistance and are emitted as gasses from liquids that evaporate as paint dries. Certain VOCs are harmful when inhaled and may pose indoor air quality concerns.”

Why am I super concerned about this?  Well, I first became concerned about such things when pregnant, I followed ALL THE RULES- like a soldier.  I learned that the paint in a baby’s room should have No VOC back then.  Once I had them, it became a bigger deal, because my (E) has asthma, even more important.

Where can you learn more?  Wallauer Paint and Design in Nanuet (that’s the Rockland one but if you are reading this from elsewhere, check out their website for the closest one).  Not only do they have this fabulous paint, they offer design services for those like me who have an idea of what they want, but aren’t sure how to accomplish it.

Wallauer’s design staff is committed to quality and service providing our customers with the newest in color schemes and the latest in design products. They give their customers the one on one attention they deserve to use these services, call or go online to make a virtual appointment or in the convenience of your home. The design team listens to their clients ideas and needs to design space that reflects one’s personality creating a functional and comfortable environment.

Wallauer is truly a one stop shop design center providing their customers with all interior design and home décor needs to fit any budget.  Not just color consultations (although that is where I would have to start). They have a new line of custom-made simple drapery and a custom inspired cellular blind program that can match your wall colors.

Once you get started, they’ve also got all the tools you need to complete the job too since they are an ACE Hardware.

Here are some current specials to help you get started.  A Buy one Get one Free Paint sample, and $10 off at ACE to get the job moving.  If you are purchasing a new home, there is a special place on the site to click to register for a free color consultation, a free design session, and a new homeowner package!

Oh yeah, and here’s the finished bedroom :o)

Performances, Recitals and Concerts are BACK!

I KNOW everyone is craving some normal.  Now the kids are back to school (even mine starting this week), Broadway is selling some tickets for this coming fall, and even my students are coming in and reporting that they have been vaccinated.  I want to take this opportunity to champion all the children’s classes and activities that found ways to continue on thus far.  You guys are amazing!  This includes (but is no limited to) our directory members Dance Central PA, New City School of Music, Coupe Dance Theatre Studio, Swim Like a Fish Instructional Aquatics and so so many more. 

Virtual instruction and performances have continued on, with most offering a hybrid or full accommodated return. Although all had the best of intentions, my children were uninterested in virtual performances last year, and I am sure they are not the only ones.  With more time to prepare this year, they have secured outdoor locations, and some MAJOR indoor performances that we have been looking forward to can continue.

This is what spurred this latest article.  Although (E) has not been able to dance this year (virtual just doesn’t work for her and with her health concerns we couldn’t risk it), (A) has been doing his drum lessons virtually since March of last year.  We are lucky enough to have a full kit at home to work with.  Each time a virtual recital came up he politely declined, wanting to perform live.  The event he was so looking forward to (playing at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame) was postponed, and he was really nervous that it would be cancelled.  He even got to perform a NYSSMA piece for the first time this year, and had to participate virtually by recording him playing.  He doesn’t love that, but was a trooper.

We just received an email from New City School of Music  with information regarding an OUTDOOR in person-performance in June. (A) was all over that- is like playing at a festival, or a party!  He is so stoked! Truly, there’s an option for everyone and that’s what I love.

Information: June 27th we’re doing a hybrid recital! We’re doing outdoors in person here in Zukor Park here in New City on Sunday June 27th. We’re very excited about that. Everyone will be safely socially distanced.  We’re renting the stage from the town for students to perform on.  And we’re also going to continue with the online option.  So students who wish to perform virtually can still do that, and we’ll post that on our YouTube page.

Then we received word about a new Rock N Roll Hall of Fame date. (A) couldn’t be happier.  We get to take a little family vacation and he creates the memory of a lifetime (you’d better believe I have a pinterest board ready)!

Information: We’ll be performing in the Foster Theatre, located on the 3rd floor of the Hall of Fame August 21.

As if that weren’t enough, Sam and the staff at the music school realize that getting your child to practice may be difficult so they have added zoom practice sessions to their list of offerings!!!

Information: Twice a week students can log in to a Zoom practice room to practice with other students, and we have a live proctor there to help students practice.  Students can ask questions – how do I work on this, or that?  We’re getting a lot of really great feedback on this and it’s keeping students motivated. And on top of that, every time you log in to the Zoom practice session, you can earn 3 points towards your practice challenge wristband.  You can earn 1 point for practicing at home, you can mark it off on your practice chart and 3 for practicing in the practice session.  So be sure to check that out – check your email for the dates and times and we’ll see you online for the Practice Sessions!

With amazing things like these coming up, its no wonder they have just reached the milestone of having 650 students enrolled at the school (congrats guys).  They will just keep growing.

RNYM is Going Solar!

Posted on by Posted in RNYM Savings!, RNYM's Picks, Uncategorized .

Disclosure:  This is an unsponsored post, all opinions expressed are my own.

About 10 years ago RNYD and I met with someone about going Solar.  We have always liked the idea.  We were clear that we didn’t want any panels on the front of our home, as they won’t go with the traditional style.  We were assured that there wouldn’t be.  When it came time to do the paperwork, they had added some to the front.  We never did it.

Fast forward to two months ago.  Good friend and New City North Pole Airport genius Gary went solar, with panels only on the back side of his house.  He runs a large home, as well as his airport off of it.  My electric bill is ASTRONOMICAL.  He told me to call his representative Liz, so I did.

She was lovely, and could in fact add the panels only to the back of my home.   With rates ever climbing and the shut down of Indian Point inevitable, I don’t see it getting any better. We have signed, and our plans are already into the town, (they do all that for you!!!)

Here’s what I am excited about.  With the purchase of the panels- I am still saving $150 a month going solar, that’s HUGE!  Liz and her team do all the leg work for you, its simple.  My house will be a bit cooler because of the panels themselves, AND I know we are doing a little something for the environment.

I can’t wait to tell you more about the process.  As soon as we move forward I will report.  Right now I want to give you Liz’s information in case you are interested in hearing more: 914-649-8923 liz@empiresolarny.com

3 Great Ways to Unlize that Tax Refund (if you got one)

Save it–

  • That’s cool we always try to sock away half- saving up for a vacation home on a lake someday.  We also spend $100 a month on gift cards to save up for the holidays, so now is a good time to get a jump on that.  Put some away for the other two options, and then maybe save up for something big like we are :o)

Travel-

  • We recently took our first REAL “family trip” to Disney- and let’s just say we are hooked.  The kids are PERFECT ages and were such an absolute pleasure that I am DYING to take them on our next adventure.  Picking a travel agent is NOT easy, but you need one knowledgeable, trustworthy and interested in the good time you will have.  I’ve used several locals and can honestly say that Scott Walters is your guy.  He saved me more than a few times for Disney. Best part?  You don’t pay extra for his assistance, you pay what you would if you booked it yourself, but you’ve got his help with the details!!

Home Upgrades (bill downgrades) with Northern Windows

Posted on by Posted in Reviews, RNYM Savings!, RNYM's Picks, Services, Uncategorized .

Disclosure:  This is a sponsored post.  All opinions expressed are my own.

Like many other Rocklanders right now I am frustrated.  My O&R bill has always been on the higher side, but I do own a 1950’s ranch with no insulation, just fiberglass in the attic.  In the past 3 months my bill has jumped yet ANOTHER $200.  Which leaves me thinking- is my house that inefficient?  Why all of the sudden has it jumped up that much?  What can I do about it?  Enter Steve Murray of Northern Windows, Siding, Roofing and Insulation.  He’s a RNYM directory member and honestly one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.  I gave him a call and was able to meet two days later at my house.  I was ready to hear that there was nothing I could do because my walls are plaster- but what I got was truly an education.

First of all Steve recommended doing an efficiency audit-which there is a local program available to have it done for free (or close to it).  During this audit they will seal up the house and check to see where the most energy is lost (CLICK HERE).  You can choose an approved contractor or they will choose one for you (Northern Windows is one of them, and the one i’m using).  He suggested doing that before making changes to see which would be the most pressing for our case.  In fact, at the end of the assessment, the improvements are ranked for you in terms of best Return on Investment (ROI), which I can’t wait to see.

We DID know our front doors are old and inefficient as at least one is the original 1951 version where you can see around it and almost through it in some places.  So we talked doors.  Steve has tons of options, lots of attractive ones, and we talked looks for a while.  I was nervous because I was estimating quite a large number for them both (like RNYD would never let it happen), but I was pleasantly surprised.  I was able to easily find efficient doors that I liked the look of, for what I consider very reasonable pricing.

There are also a few great perks:

  • They are guaranteed for life.
  • The doors have composite jambs so they won’t rot from weather from the inside out like doors of old.
  • The fiberglass won’t melt in the sun (I swear I had heard that somewhere).
  • The doors don’t get cold or hot to the touch because they are insulated throughout.
  • Steve’s crew takes all the debris and old door away- changes out the frame- and uses aluminum capping on the outside.
  • There are low E options for doors with windows.

I loved how honest Steve was with me about the doors, and also about the look that would compliment my house the best.  In his time on the job he has almost seen it all.  The books have something for everyone’s taste and budget.  The meeting with Steve is very low key, he’s not pushy in any way, and is happy to answer questions before, during and after the meeting so that you feel at ease.  Mostly, he wants you to be happy.  A parent and a homeowner himself, he is concerned with the same issues you are and will happily tell you about his own experiences with efficiency in his own (older- read less efficient) home.

We’ve got our assessment scheduled to take a look at our houses overall efficiency, but have a definite plan in place for the doors within the year.  I’ve picked the ones I like and know the budget now to save for.  I also know who I am using.  In fact, our short list includes a new window or two in the basement, and when I do the doors, i’ll add those on too.

I am really very appreciative for the education I received during our meeting and can’t wait to see more about my home when we do the assessment, especially if it means sending less of my paycheck to O&R each month.  I promise to keep you updated on our progress.  As always, if you give Steve a call, we appreciate letting him know you heard about him here. :O)

 

Family Photos

Posted on by Posted in Photo Obsessed, Photography, Reviews, RNYM Savings!, Uncategorized .

Disclosure:  This is a sponsored post.  All opinions are my own.

I’ve long preached the importance of taking photos with your family.  You don’t HAVE to take professional photos, you can use your timer and take your own (I do that too).  I like to have professional pics done because I don’t take photos as well as they do, I don’t know how to edit, and lets face it, it’s also less stressful for me.  I don’t have to worry that I got the perfect shot, or that I can’t get everyone to smile at the same time (especially if I am trying to get into the photo), and then there’s the problem of cutting back the number of photos.  Photographers are hard on their work and aren’t emotionally attached to your child’s face.  They choose the best photos of the set (even outtakes) and present only those to you, making your life easier.  I have enough trouble bringing together outfits for the family that “coordinate” and  don’t “match”.  This stresses me out in a way only a few understand.

Recently I’ve come to realize another layer of these photos which I want to bring light to.  When you have those professional photos taken, or take your own.  Please find a way to include your pets.  I’ve taken snapshots of our family pups here and there for years but it wasn’t until 3 years ago that we thought to bring our pup to our family holiday photo shoot.  The photos were amazing and it quickly became our tradition.

(Photo Credit: Kennedy Grey Photography)

Boy am I glad it did.  This past summer we suffered immense loss when our 12 year old chocolate lab left us, followed almost a month to the day by our 15.5 year old mini-dachshund.  Although we knew it was coming, it was still one of the hardest thing we have ever had to go through as a family.  The kids now old enough to understand were also heart broken.  Its those photos that we look at fondly and remember them while we talk about the silly things that they did.

(Photo Credit: Marco Farsetta Photography)

Which brings me to my point.  Take photos WITH your pet. Not just of your pet.  I know that when people DO take professional photos, they are reluctant to bring them, because the photos may not come out “perfect”.  It’s just another variable.  Here’s something to help ease your mind.  OUR (RNYM) photographers are all great at capturing your furry loves- so here’s our directory PHOTOGRAPHERS DIRECTORY.  In fact, they also love to be challenged, have a less traditional pet?  They have experience there too, give it a try.

I believe in this so deeply right now that after a month of a pup-less home we decided to foster (quickly followed by adoption) two black lab sisters.  A side note for those who may be interested, we worked with Animal Rescue R Us, out of Northern Jersey.  When we first got them they were 9 weeks old.  With our kids the ages that they are right now (5 and 8) these are likely the pups they will remember.  They get to grow up together.  I vowed to take photos of them as just pups and with us, the kids, the family, and to continue to as they grow.

We weren’t ready to share the news with everyone yet, just sent some pics to a few, one of whom was IC You Photography‘s Isabella.  She is an AVID animal lover and DEMANDED that we bring them in for a shoot, before they were too big.  To commemorate the first milestone, oh and bring the kids too.  So not knowing I went.

I watched in amazement as she was able to get 10 week old pups to sit, sleep, stay, and so much more.  I cried as I knew we were making memories of the pets my family will cherish for the next 10-20 years.  I reveled in the happiness that Isabella showed on her face as she worked with both kids and dogs, snuggling all of them. Listened to her ideas and chuckled thinking it was the cutest thing I had ever seen.

Meet Sasha

Meet Camy

We spoke throughout about how it was very good for the puppies to be handled, and socialized not only to Isabella, but her pups in the other room. Gambet even came in to say hi :o).  We discussed that No she could not have one of our dogs, and the rescue that we worked with to adopt them.  She snapped away and I didn’t even catch everything that she was doing.

Isabella even took the time to take a pic or two of my monkeys alone.  Love this one especially cause Little Miss just learned how to snap, and won’t stop. Check out her fingers <3

I’m so very glad that we did it, and look forward to bringing them to many shoots to come.  It also spurred the new promotion that Isabella is doing where she will offer discounted “Pet Portraits” for those rescuing pups.

It’s important, in my opinion, when you choose a photographer that you try to bring your “whole” family along.  I know that ALL of our directory members are happy to work with family pets.  If you are looking for a way to incorporate them but aren’t looking for a full photo shoot- the Palisades Mall does have pet days with Santa which we did take advantage of a few times and loved.  I am so super thankful for these photos being in my life.  I look forward to documenting their milestones to come together.

 

Back to School Shopping at Macy’s Backstage!

Posted on by Posted in Items, Out and about..., Reviews, RNYM Savings!, RNYM's Picks, Uncategorized .

Disclosure:  This is a sponsored post.  All opinions expressed are my own.

Like many other locals I was wondering what the new Macy’s Backstage was.  We’ve all shopped Macy’s for years as its been an anchor store in the Nanuet mall FOREVER, and also at the Palisades mall since it was built.  The great options, service, and availability of products at Macy’s is well known, but what is this new store within a store?

“The thrill of the hunt takes center stage as you discover your favorite fashion & home brands at show-stopping prices!”

Its the same great Macy’s that we all know in love, but with higher discounts on the same famous maker brands you’ve become accustomed to from Macy’s, as well as some new ones.  Knowing that it was a discount retail space, we were excited to hunt for some awesome finds.

The shoe section is right near the entrance so naturally little miss (E) had to hit that spot.  They had a nice selection in her size, so she tried a few, settling on two pairs.

The kids section at the Palisades Macys Backstage is over by a little toy section as well, that’s where we found (E)’s favorite item.  Little (E) needed earphones for school and they had these adorable little my little pony ones that she snatched right up.


Then we went through the racks to see what they had for back to school clothing.  This can always be an interesting afternoon with (E) who has her own sense of style.  At 8 (A) is also developing more of his own style, it was nice to watch him choose some staple pieces.

We found some cute stuff and headed into the dressing rooms.  The kids had fun trying on their items, and then they saw the signs on the wall.  They loved them!  We had to run from room to room to see what they said!!


At checkout we were given a scratch off coupon and saved $5!  We got 2 pairs of shoes, headphones, and 5 shirts for less than $90!!! What a bargain!!

Macy’s Backstage also has backpacks, home items, adult clothing, accessories, all the great items that the regular Macy’s carries, but at super low prices.  We are also lucky enough to have two locally to check out (Nanuet and Palisades- we went to Palisades).

GIVEAWAY

** As a special introduction to our readers Macy’s Backstage Palisades is giving away a $100 gift card to one lucky winner.  To enter- comment on this page or our social media post before Saturday 9/1 at 8 pm and tell us what you would use the card on (we’d also love a share and a like). Winner will be chosen at random via 3rd party website. **

My kids have been attending Day Camp in the Park now for 2 years (plus a week the year before trying it out) and I can’t say enough about it (although I surely try).  They adore everything about the camp.  The unique opportunities available, the outdoors, the counselors, the feeling of family- all of it.  Well, right now if you or your friends and family also want to try it out there’s an amazing early bird discount available right now.   Here’s their website if you want to see some of what they have to offer: http://daycampinthepark.com/
