Dr Pepper Snapple Group® sponsored this post. All opinions are mine and mine alone. If you haven’t noticed, the current trend is to seek happiness. Individual happiness. But I think the secret is in our relationships. No matter how exhausted you feel after cooking and cleaning for 20 people in your home all day for Thanksgiving, or how horrible your last road trip with three moms and five kids was,… Keep Reading
Carb Alert! It’s cold and holiday time – so that means carbs don’t count. So we love to take advantage, especially on cold and dark NYC nights. One of our fave new finds is Adoro Lei in Tribeca. This place is kid-friendly (check out these cool color pages!), and they can even custom the menu to make plain “kid food” as I call it – cheese pizza and meatballs and pasta…. Keep Reading
Free Range: (of livestock, especially poultry) kept in natural conditions, with freedom of movement. (of eggs) produced by birds reared under natural conditions. I remember the first time I heard the word “free range.” I was confused by the definition. Growing up on a farm, that was just common sense – there was no definition because we never thought to raise our animals any other way. And listen, I have… Keep Reading
Because you can never really have enough holiday gift ideas. Or parties! At least I can’t because I am (1) the world’s worst gift giver and (2) never have time to research and get creative. So I depend on these lists. And I know you hear me out there – you depend on them, too! So after crashing the annual Momtrends Holiday Party (even after trail biking all day upstate… Keep Reading
I have a love-hate for running. When I tell friends this – they look at me shocked – why would I run if I don’t love it? Well, I think there are a lot of folds to this – and many of them are mental, not physical. Running is all about mental capacity. If you tell yourself you’re running 20 miles today, you will do it. If you get up… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com. I am basically the worst gift giver out there. I am terrible at ideas, wait till the last minute, and apparently don’t listen and make lists on what people really love in order to get it for them. But people are HARD to shop for, and in the world where you can get anything literally within the same day or next day delivery, it’s hard… Keep Reading
When I say my son has become a water park connoisseur by the age of five, it’s a status earned. He has visited many across the country, some more than once, and can give you a detailed breakdown of everything he loves (or doesn’t love) about each one. But one of my all-time favorites to top the list over and over is Great Wolf Lodge. It really comes down… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by Everpro Gray Away. All of the thoughts and opinions are my own. When I was in my twenties, I flew to Florida with my boyfriend at the time to visit his sister, who was conveniently married to a Miami Heat starter. These trips were always glamorous with trips to Taco Bell in a Maybach, personal training sessions with Derek Jeter’s own guy, followed by massage… Keep Reading
When I was in my twenties, I lived with two roommates in a massive house on top of Mount Washington in Pittsburgh. We had an open door policy – it was always open. And there was always people there. I loved that on a random Tuesday night friends would just stop by to have a smoke on the front porch – and we would all sit up for hours laughing… Keep Reading
In partnership with Ferrero International. If you’ve been counting down the days till Christmas, you now really have a reason to be excited – Kinder Joy (those mystery chocolate toys/treats you see in YouTube videos) landed in NYC on Monday, and will be available to buy here in the United States just in time for the holidays! Don’t know what Kinder Joy Is? Billions of these eggs are are sold… Keep Reading
