I am not a girlie girl. Shocker. But sometime’s a girl needs flowers. Either from herself, a secret admirer, or dad, nothing makes someone feel special like seeing a box of roses show up on your doorstep. Or in my case, your doorman. Anyways, I have new obsession with The Bouqs so I wanted to share. You can actually order flowers online for LESS than you can pick up that… Keep Reading
Seriously – it is just me, or is everyone just over-booked and busy these days? I remember always having something on the books, but lately I feel like it’s go go go. It took a rainy day at home to finally take the day to enjoy my favorite pastime – cooking!

Instead, Ford brings the consumer to them. Opens up their world of automotive, providing a glimpse into the reality… Keep Reading
“I wrote this review while participating in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Genworth. I attended a live event and received a promotional item to thank me for participating.” None of us want to admit that we’re getting older. At 33 I see a lot more babies and weddings instead of drunken selfies on my Facebook feed. The scary fact? 65 is considered the age of retirement… Keep Reading
Confession: Maximo will be two years old next month and he has never worn sunglasses. Maybe it’s the fact that they aren’t very fashionable for kids, or the fact that as a toddler he’ll just take them and toss into the dirty streets of New York making it yet one more thing I just have to carry and disinfect. **Shutter** However, after being invited and attending a webinar from The… Keep Reading

“I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf ofMom Central Consulting for Isis Wallet. I received a promotional item to facilitate my review.” If there is one thing I have perfected as a mom in NYC, it’s carrying the least amount of things possible. I have researched and found the lightest stroller for hauling up and down the subway (UppaBaby G-Lite if you’re wondering), how to pack the minimalist diaper… Keep Reading
You know the “itch.” That feeling you get when you’ve been in New York City for too many days in a row and all you can think about is getting away for a few days. I know that feeling all too well! While flying off to Paris or Mexico for the weekend isn’t usually a realistic option, there are tons of family-friendly destinations that are within five hours of the… Keep Reading
