This weekend, I will be blissfully celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary by attending dinner with hubby at George Martins in Rockville Centre, one of our favorite dining spots. We are celebrating with a trip to Anguilla later this summer. The rest of my weekend includes a T-ball game at the crack of dawn, dining with the wonderful Volunteer Fire Department of Valley Stream, and of course hosting ValleyStreamMom.com’s first “Cookies & Crafts” event at Sip This.
