Spooky Season
A post-pandemic halloween- here's what to do NYC!
1. The Village Halloween Parade: Each year over 50,000 costumed locals take to the streets of Greenwich Village in Manhattan to celebrate.
2. Haunted Cocktail Soiree: A one-of-a-kind frightening experience exists in a Financial District Townhouse.
3. Pumpkin Flotilla in Central Park: Bring your carved pumpkins to a designated spot in the park to see the City's largest glowing flotilla.
Market Update
The Fall season in NYC is off to a hot start, and all signs indicate that the market's trajectory will stay hot. A whopping 46 contracts were signed the first week of October at $4,000,000 and above.
This initial week's total marks the 11th time this year that 40 or more contracts were signed. Inventory is tightening but the demand remains high, if you are thinking of selling now is the time!
Postpartum Life
The first 3 months of a newborn's life are considered the 4th trimester for a mother. The trauma your body goes through, the healing process, the hormonal changes, the breastfeeding, the lack of sleep all attribute to (in my opinion) the hardest trimester!
The effects on the mother are not talked about enough. We are expected to bounce back to our pre-baby bodies right away and in this country, return to work in 90 days.
I am fortunate enough to have a strong support system with my family and the girls on my team, however not everyone is as lucky.
This is my PSA for the month - if you are around a new mom, offer help. Sometimes as moms we are afraid or don't know how to ask for help because we don't want to seem weak. The pressure of being a super mom and all-star woman takes over and we want to be able to prove to the world that we can do it all.
In reality, we have just created a new life and the impact that this has on our mental and physical state should not be overlooked.
