It’s definitely a weird year and Halloween is only about to make it get weirder. But tis the season – so over here, we’re saying embrace it and let the creepiness take over. While it won’t be trick or treating most likely, it just opens up new doors to get creative as a family. And we’ve done our part with Halloweens past, including Maxs’ Halloween birthday party in July a… Keep Reading
If you haven’t been upstate NY, you’re missing out. I’ve always said, some of the most beautiful places in the world exist right here in the good ol U S of A. And while I’ve seen a lot of it, New York is one state I am happy to call home. We have all four seasons. We have the biggest, best city in the world, oceanfront, Broadway AND – saving… Keep Reading
This article is sponsored by Super Soccer Stars. Winter is challenging with kids. It’s cold, dark and no one wants to go anywhere until that unsettling feeling of cabin fever creeps in and you realize – you need to do something, and now. But… what? With locations throughout NYC, NJ, Westchester/CT and Long Island, there’s a good chance Super Soccer Stars has a soccer class close by in your neighborhood… Keep Reading
New Yorkers love NYC for all the crazy things you get out of city life – we thrive on crowded subways, cafes on every corner, Broadway and smelly cabs. But for all the things I love about the city, we still need escapes. You know what I mean – I call It the itch. When all the bums, honking and hot sidewalks finally get the best of you and need… Keep Reading
Math – it’s a complicated subject (in more ways than one). You either love it or hate it, but there’s no avoiding it. For some reason, Max actually LOVES math. He literally stood up for a talent show last weekend and did a math problem (who brought that kid!?). So what does a mom do with a kid who LOVES math – you get him enrolled in a math class… Keep Reading
The lights, the glimmer, the glam of Broadway. That’s why we live here in NYC, right? All these overly dramatic amazing musicals all trying to outdo themselves and we all scramble to try and get tickets while the main actors are still there (and it’s still a year down the road). Just want to see something different? How about a show that goes entirely wrong – and that’s what you… Keep Reading
I do it every January. It arrives, it’s cold and we’re cooped up and I wish I had booked snowboarding trips for the winter. When you wait till last minute, usually all the good resorts are booked up (if you’re staying overnight). It’s not easy to remember to book a trip and wax that board of yours in the hot summer months, but ski/board season actually runs October through April… Keep Reading
If you’re anything like me, you gave up a few things when you became a parent – late nights out on the town, heels and sleeping in on weekends. They all say – stay true to yourself! Find time for you! And as much as we all want to believe that and TRY – it’s just not that easy. It only takes five minutes to meditate a day they say,… Keep Reading
I love this line from Brooks: A 30-minute run burns 100% more calories than a 30-minute sitcom. With the NYC Marathon coming up this weekend, I’ve having major runner’s FOMO. Every year I wish I decided to run it, but then every year I just don’t know if I have the time to train for it (even though I run at least 3-4 times a week!). So in honor of… Keep Reading
I still remember my first A&W Root Beer Float. A&W Root Beer was a favorite of dads, and he no regards when teaching me how to love and perfect the root beer float. Ice cold mugs, soda and vanilla ice cream because a special treat between just him and I over the years, and I remember watching him carefully scoop the ice cream into the tall frosty mugs only to… Keep Reading
