Happy Birthday to the #besthusbandever!!! Over the past 13 years I have watched you move through your career with one obstacle after another. Most people would have given up but you always kept your head down and worked harder for us. Over the past 7 weeks I have had the pleasure of watching and hearing you work first hand. I’m in awe of the business man you have become!!!! When we met on the second day of college 03’ in business law 101 I knew you were the real deal- turns out I was right!! #covid19 has been beyond intense and you have been doing everything possibly to help your clients, hand holding, leading meetings, working crazy hrs, taking verbal abuse, and pushing forward looking for the silver lining. All while watching your own career and everything you worked for slowly go up in flames. I wish I could assure you things will work out so that you could sleep through the night but I know it’s not that easy. What I can continue to do is be your cheerleader, your sounding board, and the best partner in life! #weekend #birthdaycelebration #qurentine Fri evening we will have a nice dinner, cake and wine! Hopefully we will be able to enjoying some balcony time. #cronavírus #cronavirusbirthday #craftingcreatingcapturingabeautifullife #astoria #astoriaqueens #spring #quarantinelife #singlecut (at Astoria, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_oemoJDwi3/?igshid=3t9kjfl2noz2

Happy 9th Anniversary to my favorite couple! This wedding will always hold a special place in my heart it’s one of the most memorable weddings that I have planned (also my hubby’s 30th bday). My #bff #married an awesome guy too! 3 homes and 2 beautiful girls later who we absolutely adore!!! Tonight as we #quorentine Erica and Kyle FaceTime with the girls, champagne and 2 cakes. Yes 2 cakes (mommy loves her sweets just like me!) We all had a 🥂 to 9ys and Eve sang happy birthday to uncle Ben. I was blown away that they even showed Eve the shadow box I had made them with all there wedding details. The photo of her looking at it was precious! 💜 Ben and I had the pure enjoyment watching Evie our dessert monster eat about half a chocolate cake! She preceded to entertain us #sugarhigh style dancing, singing, running around, doing gymnastics, and playing basketball. We hung up laughing saying to ourselves good luck that child is going to be #upallnight! #anniversary #quarantinelife This beautiful photo was taken by @turnquistphotography in #washingtonpark #firstlook #springwedding.

Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry shared their last ever #SussexRoyal post on Monday. 😔 I fell in love with @suits_usa @usa_network #rachelzane back in June of 2011. I became a loyal #meghanmarkle #thetig admirer from day one. I’ve followed her incredible work off screen, on screen, and more so her lifestyle adventures via her blog before her royal days. I even got up early to #host and #celebrate the #royalwedding here in #astoriany. I was sad to see how things ended for this lovely couple but also beyond happy for them. I can’t wait to see them shine there light bigger and brighter!! Cheers to the next chapter of your new adventure together. Here is just some of my favorite #quotes she loved and once selected to share on her blog #thetig. I thought how timely and appropriately fitting. #meghanmarklesupporter #harryandmeghan #meghansndharry #meg #catherinestlaurent #dutchessofsussex #sussexroyal #eventsbeyond #courtneykern #courtneybkern #craftingcreatingcapturingabeautifullife (at New York City, N.Y.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-bPeZODRec/?igshid=nj4huf54tbli

#socialdistancing2020 #newyorkcity #astoria trying keep positive in extremely dark times. #cronovirus outbrake equals #zoom calls with friends and drinks (cheers #toronto) Hope everyone is taking this seriously. #stayhome #staysafe #stayhealthy #202 #eventsbeyond #courtneybkern #courtneykern #craftingcreatingcapturingabeautifullife (at Astoria, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Tekqhjv8b/?igshid=1ode3zsyyg2or

It’s been a tough time here in #NYC and for those all over the world due to #cronavirus⚠️. I hope everyone is doing and staying healthy during this craziness. Ben and I were lucky to celebrated a very low key #saintpatricksday ☘️ at home with our traditional #cornbeefandcabbage #dinner. We made some delicious stuffed #Reuben cabbage wraps with the leftovers. #favoritemealoftheyear #saintpatricksday2020 #craftingcreatingcapturingabeautifullife #eventsbeyond #eb #courtneybkern #courtneykern #foodie #gffoodie #astoriaglutenfreefoodie #holidayentertaining #luckoftheirish #traditions #glutenfreeyumminess (at Astoria, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B93BddpDGHU/?igshid=8frt00wiwtfo

Last week I made it back home to the city in the nick of time for a last minute #indiancooking lesson from our friend @nehac_06 who is sadly moving to #toronto with her hubby this week. Niha showed me how to make #chanamasala #chickentikkamasala #bhindimasala #authenticbasmatirice. We had an awesome dinner with our hubby’s on #Rooseveltiand. Thank you for taking the time to share some of your deliciousness with me- it was much appreciated! I can’t wait to start making more #indiandishes in #2020. #makingmemories #cookingwithfriends #learningindiancooking #courtneybkern #glutenfreeyumminess #glutenfreelife #glutenfreedinner #meals #testkitchen #GlutenFreeNYC #GlutenFreeAstoria #gffoodie #astoriaglutenfreefoodie #eventsbeyond #craftingcreatingcapturingabeautifullife (at Roosevelt Island - New York City, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B89L7CbDEMl/?igshid=1chtms3naquvc

I can’t believe tomorrow’s #thanksgiving already. I have fun getting my #holiday #bakingon while watching #frozen. #Smallkitchen #cityliving tip that can be applied for anyone is always start with a clean organized working station. This helps you move more efficiently if you have several recipes with several of the same ingredients. I line a baking sheet or two with everything I need and when I’m done I toss the piece aluminum foil out and move on (less cleanup!). #eventsbeyond #eb #craftingcreatingcapturingabeautifullife #courtneykern #courtneybkern #thanksgiving2019 #holidayseason #baking #yummygoodness #holiday2019 #glutenfreefoodie #glutenfreeastoriafoodie #astorianyc (at Astoria, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ZPMtxDIWZ/?igshid=1gcginhya12di
